WW1984 is not a good movie, but it’s better than the first, and it’s better than the other WB movies (if we’re not counting the Nolan trilogy), so maybe one more stab and they’ll make DC’s first good modern superhero movie.

“and that more violence would just cause him to fall into the Emperor’s trap.”

Remember when everyone was like “what’s refreshing about the Mandalorian is how self contained it is” so they brought in Luke Skywalker and greenlit 10 tv shows. Disney has not learned a fucking thing.

To once again get on the Last Jedi’s dick, but what Rian understood about Luke’s journey in RotJ was in putting the…

I’ll tell you what happened. This popped up after reading the latest Popcorn Champs and I completely blanked on a) having read this before and b) this has been done for a while.

I think 95 will be Goldeneye, specifically because it re-imagined Bond as an action movie (with the body count to match).

It’s weird that they chose Chris Columbus to helm a movie about magic when his house style is “Spielberg without the magic”.

If Disney asked someone “what do you think about kites” and they said “I don’t know, kites are ok I guess”, they’d green light 10 tv shows about kites.

Robert and I don’t see eye to eye on a lot.

But I’m not made of steel, but flesh, and muscle, and other bodily tissue, and it’s just a joy to see people be so ecstatically…

Unlikely, they’re releasing Soul on Christmas Day. No need to burn 2 movies so quickly.

You: But also that money won’t just sit in China or wherever it flows back either as tourism, US good being purchased, foreign students which are huge cash cow for universities.

Me: Actually, lots of it doesn’t come back, the US has a huge Trade Balance Deficit.

You have not been able to show how the theory was misapplied. You haven’t been able to show that you even understand the theory. You just argued tourism isn’t a trade.

I have two questions;

It’s not the rigid application of economic theory, it’s axiomatic. If money leaves the domestic economy, it’s a leakage. That’s that.

The examples you listed were trade.

No one’s saying why consumers make the choices they do. What the AV Club is saying is that a recession/pandemic is a bad time to buy a big expensive new video game console. What you were saying is that buying a big expensive new video game console is good for combatting recessions and the pandemic, and I was showing…
