Fairly recently, I saw a family come into a restaurant with a bar and proceed to let their kids run amock while the parents ordered alcoholic drinks and settled in. Their daughter (couldn’t have been older than 6) ran behind the bar where employees were working multiple times. The manager came over to talk to the…

Taken, not stirred.

Maybe if the movie had utilized a Princess Bride-style framing device, where Andy shows the movie to his kids or something, and then featured that in all the trailers, audiences would have had an easier time getting behind it.

You don’t think he’d’ve been a good Bond? I think he would’ve. They could’ve given Bond a daughter, and Blofeld could kidnap her.

I’m trying not too hard to think about the Mushroom soup served out of a toad head.

Does Waking Life make the cut, or does the fact that it’s mostly rotoscope negate it? Bakshi used a lot of rotoscope as well.  Loving Vincent?

Yes, I think that flat screens are here to stay for good. Games like League of Legends will never be as accessible if you’re expected to put on a whole headset every time you want to play—especially in contexts like internet cafes, where you would have to manually configure the headset’s settings every time.

Sometimes the writers don’t want you to follow everything. If you catch just a noun or you catch an adverb, maybe that’s all they want you to comprehend. You don’t have to follow the entire sentence. It is intentional. Is it intentional 100 percent of the time? No, of course not.

breakfast tacos, maybe:  We can hold our own against San Antonio on those, but you have to head south for a good regular taco.

I’m thinking I shouldn’t hold my breath for the Alec Baldwin “Shadow” interview. 

I miss GLOW. Its cruel early cancellation hurt me so much that it numbed me to every cruel early cancellation that Netflix has dished out since.

Oh definitely, we absolutely can’t just keep exponential growth year over year going, it’s just not sustainable. Especially in a market with a maximum saturation, like a streaming service, and even more so in a time where there’s a growing number of folks that just cannot afford more and more streaming services that…

4 - There is no such thing as infinite growth

#4 is the one that astounds me the most.  How can the model be winning a massive share of the subscription base AND raising prices AND needing to show subscription count growth year-over-year??   There’s no way to survive long-term if stagnation in user growth counts as a loss.  

4 factors that i don’t think any of these streaming services get - that all play together:

As a tangent, I like how Andrew Garfield is like the Jimmy Carter of movie Spider-Men - his tenure was mediocre to bad, but now it's just nice to have him in the public eye. 

Sucks the Doom Patrol is ending, but I will never cease to be amazed that they made it, and it was near perfect, too!

I dunno, this seems more like Minesweeper to me?
