Clearly the reason it was canceled was because no one was watching it. There was no cultural impact made by the first 2 seasons. Apple was looking forward to cutting losses.

the global conflict depicted in Edwards’ thrilling film, which pits artificially enhanced intelligent robots against humanity

I don’t get it. Absolutely everything described in about this movie in this review sounds unbelievably cliched, done to death, and derivative. The threat from Asia, the childlike AI, the traumatized US soldier, the visuals etc. etc. What am I missing? What’s so good about it?

He’s probably talking about the actors’ contracts, not his. Ostensibly, Cox should be getting paid as if it’s season 4, not season 1.

Is there actually any way for Disney to just pick up the existing contract that wasn’t with them?

Translation: I, a superior being, am above your petty human notions of “right” and “wrong”. I see all sides and have no biases, regarding all things as being equally true, all positions equally valid, and seeing no situation where one lesser being may ever be in a higher moral position to another.

The producers have said, publicly, they’re going to wait until writers start losing their homes, in the hope they will agree to anything out of desperation. What sympathy or understanding does the side of greedy sociopaths require?  There’s no middle ground here, and pretending there is isn’t some enlightened…

Informed people ARE biased. By facts, actions and sometimes words. It’s something psychologists call “discernment.” Try it sometime.

“...they’re chastising him because he’s saying he understands them.”

I’m not sure what your point is. Anyone who’s ever worked with Amazon is a hypocrite if they support the strike(s) now? The deal with Amazon to make I’m a Virgo was signed in 2020, three years before the strikes. Thousands of other people who are now on strike have also worked with Amazon (and all the other members of…

OK but just because an issue has two sides doesn’t mean those sides are equal or equivalent or that people opining about them need to hold equal space for them. The people writing about this on this site clearly feel that the AMPTP is clearly morally in the wrong. I’m not sure why you would expect them to espouse or…

This is a weird take - AMPTP is transparently trying to exploit essentially all its laborers. Have you seen some of the residuals checks these folks are getting from streaming media? You can try to “see both sides” based on how sad Bob Iger is that Disney can’t make movies right now, but you’d reaaaaally have to reach…

“I can understand both sides. All we can do is encourage people to talk.’’

Sure, I guess this take makes sense if you don’t understand how systems work and/or are a tedious bore.

There are two sides here.  There’s one side that wants everything for themselves, and the other side, consisting of all the workers, that doesn’t want to be left with only the choice of dirt to eat as a reward for working.

Sorry but I’m on her side 100%. Kostner is sitting his 60 y/o miserly ass atop a $270 million dollar mountain of gold and he can’t spare a decent chunk of it for his wife of 20 years and his kids? Yesyesyes she signed a prenup but fuck that noise! TF is all that money going to? Gold leaf toilet paper?

Give me God Emperor Of Dune or GTFO!

This tracks. Baruchel’s from one of the roughest parts of Montréal, and Hill is a Hollywood legacy case.

So this is basically an Illuminaughti situation.

Personally I think Lois’ character could only be improved with the addition of a solid gold arm.
