You raise a good point. I think what would be fairer is that Anderson’s films share in common with hipsters an emphasis on the tactile and the material. Hipsters, for better or for worse, are noted for their love of the tangible, be it polaroids or vinyl records. They strive for a certain authenticity in their lives…

Yeah, see also Kramer being referred to as a “hipster doofus” on Seinfeld, although that character isn’t exactly portrayed as countercultural, and has some stuff in common with more contemporary conceptions of the term (underemployed and unconcerned about it; often-esoteric, usually-fleeting obsessions). I think…

I mean the term was invented nearly 100 years ago, but sure, why not ascribe it to a couple of movies. 

I hope that Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson collaborate on another screenplay. I have loved Anderson’s recent output, but there’s something about Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums which make them hold a special place in my heart. It’s hard to pin down exactly what it is, but I guess there’s a more visceral emotionalism…

Except Netflix isn’t doing this to make money (at least, not directly). No one’s paying Netflix to put ads for their products on the site. Netflix is including short promotional videos for their own programming, so their customers will know those programs exist and check them out.

Outside of subscription based channels like HBO, no, I do not.

Being able to skip an ad is better than any On Demand service I’ve seen. And it’s for other programming and not athlete’s foot powder or really shitty insurance for people who probably shouldn’t have a driver’s license anyway.

If Netflix did 5-15 sec ads before movies and between every 2-3 episodes of a binged tv show I wouldn’t mind so long as it keeps their prices down. Cable still costs $50-150/month, and that’s the opposite of ad free, so nbd imo. 

Because it’s easier to ignore between episodes, and ad spots are expensive.

Its almost as annoying as a website that has an autoplaying video ad with no clear way to turn it off.

Still, it could be worse. They could switch over to Kinja.

Amazon Prime have done the same thing, they only play once before the first episode you watch and it just means clicking skip.

There’s a big difference between a 2-4 minute break (in the middle of an episode) of commercials for hand soap or erection pills and a 60-second trailer for a TV show/movie (between episodes).

Go clutch at your fake pearls somewhere else, you disingenuous troll. For one thing, I don’t give half a shit when a MAGA chud gets beat down, and I never will. For another, I don’t care who you are or what your political affiliation is, if you stand in the pit at a punk show and continuously flip off the band, even…

That’s reading a lot into a fight at a punk club.

Oh good grief. Obviously the product is a good product and has been for a very, very, very long time. So, your comment doesn’t apply here. No online service company has put more time and effort into a game and the experience that end users have with it than Blizzard with WoW. Nothing even comes close. And this is…

I think you need to understand the difference between a legit complain and being a disrespectful jerk. I rose multiple complains to blizzard during the first years of WoW and always knew that questioning people competence not only doesn’t get things fixed, but you also puke shit over a community manager that is not to…

BUT SHE’S NOT EVEN A REDHEADED JEWISH WOMAN DRAWN BY J.H.WILLIAMS III HOW CAN SHE PLAY BATWOMAN IT’S IMPOSSIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The original Kathy Kane Batwoman was murdered by Bronze Tiger, which is why she stopped appearing. Then she kinda got written out of continuity entirely later from some Crisis or another...
