That’s incorrect. The current residual schemes for streaming are based on how many subscribers the service has, not how many of those subscribers are watching the show in question.

Disingenuous to imply that this invalidates Kripke stating as a fact that $0 in residuals have come to him from Netflix

This is disingenuous, shame on you.

Netflix hasn’t paid out for streaming the mid-aughts megahit

“We’re io9 so we focus on sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and genre films. Neither of which applies to Sound of Freedom or Oppenheimer.”

With all sincerity, thank you for this. I previously thought I had a good argument and you thoroughly dismantled it. Not to be corny but your students are lucky to have you as a teacher.

Yes, and I will defend that decision to the ground. It is a pedagogically sound decision. My role as a professor is to foster critical thinking and knowledge formation in all of my students. To do that, we need a classroom community where students feel free and safe. Too often, critiques like yours fail to truly take…

SAG-AFTRA granted those productions ‘waivers’ which essentially means that AMC has agree to the contract demands of SAG-AFTRA now, to be updated by whatever SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP decide on later. while they are officially called waivers, the better way to think about these are “interim contracts.” they are fully…

They got waivers for agreeing to all their demands. That’s an issue for you? Giving the union what it wants?

It’s weird that these allowances are controversial. Seems pretty clear - you meet the demands and work resumes. It also is very telling that smaller studios can accommodate while larger ones pretend the demands are unreasonable.

Its not that the sequel trilogy depicted as instant per se, its that the sequel trilogy decided that time and space (distance/where things are...not literally space itself) were worthless concepts and got rid of them entirely. Everything in those movies happens now.

Yeah - I thought this episode sort of rejected the “grey Jedi” idea once again. Ashoka mentioned how the dark side was basically consuming and a trap. She was pretty clearly training her on light side technique.

I loved that their hyperspace journey actually took time and gave the show some breathing room to explore the characters. That’s how hyperspace was most often depicted in Star Wars media until the sequel trilogy when it was depicted as basically instantaneous travel between two points no matter how far apart they are. 

I really don’t understand why Armstrong can’t shut up about this issue. It’s obvious he doesn’t care about women’s sports, and he certainly doesn’t care about fairness in athletic competition, so why does he feel so compelled to keep this going?

I mean he’s a gigantic asshole so this is in no way surprising.

Are you ok?  This seemed so random I re-skimmed the article to make sure I didn’t read the wrong thing.

I wouldn’t necessarily describe it as “full speed ahead.”

Really more that KJA was just notoriously a work for hire author who spent the 90s churning out forgettable tie-in novels for whatever franchise was popular that week.

Yeah, I feel like Steppenwolf was utterly pointless and really should just have been big Chonky himself.

My personal favorite part was where all those brave Amazon warriors give their lives to bring down the stone security doors to keep the villain from escaping the tomb… with a GIANT HOLE in the roof.
