Yeah. I don’t think the idea of the segway is that wrong. I have a short walk from the train station to work downtown, and I see enough of weird battery-powered bikes, skateboards, and monowheels to realize that there is some kind of future in that kind of transportation device.

I’m another person who puts Rogue One as the best Star Wars movie. But I’m also a fan of seeing alternate endings and scenes that were cut out of the movie and whatnot, so I’d be fine with watching an alternate ending version.

I think that in general figuring out streaming “value” on the studio’s side is pretty hard to do. If 4 million households each had 2 people watching Syndercut, and if streaming wasn’t an option and they bought movie tickets instead, that’s what, $80 million in ticket sales?

It’s probably very dependent on the country...and it’s not just the talk shows. Aside from the UK and France, Japan used to have a huge appetite for Hollywood films and stars ( you can find a fairly interesting assortment of ads Ah-nold did for Japanese food products back in the day). But also showing up for the…

The problem with “allegations” is that they also turn out to be false.

Honestly, your point has less to do with Disney being jerks and more with IP law.

It doesn’t sound like there was a contract for “theatrical exclusive release” more just like a legally questionable promise that they broke.

In the real old days, you moved physical prints around the country. If you didn’t live in NY or LA and watched a christmas movie, you were watching it in July.

David Goyer, on studio exectives making suggestions for the Man of Steel script:

Are you so sure Gollum died? Did they ever show a body? Perhaps Gollum falling the lava was a were illusionary trick of the ring. Or Gollum’s husk was somewhat immune to lava and he washed up on a lava beach down the side of the volcano somewhere. The fact that Frodo never EVER checked for certain that Gollum’s corpse…

GOTG 2 was kind of disappointing in that it felt like someone said, “you know what was great about the first movie, the way everyone stood around and said that Peter Quill was an idiot when he does his 7th grade manchild humor thing. We should have EVERYONE be a 7th grade manchild.”

Aside from Infinity War/Endgame, I find it really hard to come up with a Marvel movie that requires seeing a previous movie.

Honestly, in the videogames industry I’m not convinced that potentially losing some sourcecode/development models is THAT damaging, especially for Activision, unless there’s some super magical network multiplayer stuff they’ve keyed into. My impression is that Activision is currently just “how efficient can we get to…

Trucks nowadays are quite bigger than before. Plus back in the day, if you bought a large truck, it was because of you needed it for work. Now people are just buying large trucks as daily drivers so you see a lot more of them. Does ANYONE even make a smaller two-door pickup today along the lines of a Toyota SR5?

I’ve always hated the idea that we always need to know “alien agendas”. That just seems to take the creepiness away from them.

Yeah, I hate that Phelps gets some kind of record for most medals when he gets to compete in 6 different events that gives you so many chances, AND is fairly lenient in terms of that your prime age for the event is wide enough that you can do 3 Olympics. Meanwhile the person over in decathlon-world basically gets one…

The daily challenges solved some of that for me. But yeah, if you don’t like arcade style “beat your own high score” games, Mini Metro is probably not for you.

Only 12% of earth is considered to be hospitable to HUMANS without modification.

I never understood the complaint of “the aliens are stealing humans even though they are allergic to water. Humans are made of water!”

I guessing that there’s no sheep on Mars? It makes it very hard to trade for stone and wood.
