Come to Star Trek, we have cookies and three-dimensional characterization

This basic point also applies to so-called business geniuses.  

Isn’t that what Marvel did with Mephisto in the comics, though? He started out as LITERALLY SATAN and gradually got walked back to the point where he was an incredibly powerful transdimensional entity who just happened to resemble medieval representations of the Devil.

Must be nice to have so much time on your hands.

Those poor poor people.

I would not have paid money to see GvK in theaters, but for “free” on a service I have right now? Sure, I’ll check it out from my couch

The sheer amount of opinions on the movie illustrate whether you liked it or hated it -- and you’re valid either way -- it’s pretty believable a LOT of people spent their Christmas break checking it out at least once.

As long as you’re streaming it, WB will take it. It’s not like the people (raises hand) who watch Friends and The Office and make them the most streamed shows in the world are paying rapt attention to it all the time. Kinda like how they didn’t care my nephew fell asleep during BvS after I already spent $25+ on our…

Worth noting that that Soul is 101 minutes, compared to 151 minutes for WW1984. That alone would seem to explain the 2.25 billion to 1.67 million difference in streaming minutes, wouldn’t it?

A lot of people were disappointed after doing so. Gal, Kristen, and Pedro deserved better.

I wouldn’t bet against Godzilla vs. Kong.

Or maybe the stats aren’t what they appear to be.  I wonder how many of those minutes might have been background noise on Christmas.  I watched the first 30 mins or so then lost interest and started doing other things with the fam, but the movie kept playing.  Then we tried to pick it up again a couple more times but…

So HBO Max is only releasing viewership numbers if they can use them for bragging rights? Okay, but now if HBO never releases numbers for Godzilla VS Kong or Zack Snyder’s Ego Presents Justice League But Even Worse, we’ll know it’s because they got fewer views than expected.

It introduced force healing, apparently a rudimentary ability that could have saved lives in a way that confuses Anakin’s motivations for going to the dark side in the first place.

and face zero consequences for their awful behavior

In post-soviet Russia, bank payments process you

Parler is a shitty, unnecessary service that was always doomed to fail, because while it gives conservatives what they say they want, they actually already get that from other services, and what they actually want they can’t get from a service that explicitly caters only to conservatives.

I would say that the basic technical problems of setting up a social-media ‘space’ that only allows like-minded individuals to join are relatively straightforward. Hell, Jordan Peterson did it.
What will keep any such attempts from ever “eating Twitter’s lunch” is sheer economics. There are NO alt-right-run companies…

Nothing stopping these knobs from buying their own servers

It’ll probably be up on a Russian provider at some point.  The backers just have to be ok with their investment dollars disappearing from time to time.
