It’s fairly easy to track. Watch for new subscriptions and see if the first movie they watch is Justice League. Did they cancel the account after the first month or so? Did they watch any other offerings or just Justice League 5 times?

I don’t know, using twitter as some sort of global metric....just seems like “how twitter feels” of a loudly vocal small subset of passionate people without having to deal with consequences of what they want. Imagine a world where every important decision was made by twitter polls. <shudder>

Iguess I have to ask now, do you find the original cast video recordings that they play on PBS  of Les Mis cringe worthy, or Hamilton?

No I agree with that, I was just remarking that the world was pretty much old Stagey Musicals, then WSS showed another way to reconceptulize how a filmed musical could be done, than we kind of went back to Stagey Musicals until Moulin Rouge came out and everyone went "what the hell did i just watch".

Actually, the live televised version of Grease was/is pretty amazing. For my money, unlike most of the live musicals we get on a yearly basis which are pretty much just “let’s stage the play and shoot it with cameras”, it created a blueprint of how to create a brand new hybrid live/television production of using the…

At one point, TCM did a weekend/evening of all the big musicals of the ( late 50s to early 60s) time period, in chronological order. I’ve always really liked it, but in that comparative setting, you realize how innovative and forward-thinking the ‘61 version actually is, compared to how stodgy musicals on that era are.

Go watch “Barb Wire”.

I don’t know...it’s an 80s John Hughes teen rom-com flick. $40k in 80's dollars for 2.5 months of work for an unknown actor is a pretty good deal, especially considering that they were meant to be relatively cheaply made, with a total budget of $5 million dollars. Especially back then, no one really expected a movie…

Actually, I think the Jimmy Olsen comic is just an “unreliable narrator” story told by Jimmy Olsen to cover up the fact that he has a secret identity of putting on a spider costume to fight crime at night in his neighborhood, as newspaper photographers usually do.

I feel like I want to watch a movie now called “Mary Jane and Me”. That basically follow Mary Jane from stupid “but I’m a part-time actor” jobs and auditions. With every now and then, her boyfriends pops in through a window and says “hi” in costume.

I’ve always figured Jim Carrey to be a real actor trapped in Carrey-comedies because that’s where he made money for the studio, thankfully he made enough bank that he got the opportunity to do a few serious, more experimental things. Robin Williams was always good in the non-comedic stuff he did, I always thought it…

I’m not sure how junior staff becomes senior staff if they are always jumping from job to job every 6 months as you describe.

The biggest benefit of being a game programmer is that, when it becomes known at a party, you become the Most Interesting Person at parties. Everyone can relate to games, and everyone finds it to be an interesting, creative job that they would like to know more about.

I would argue that these “living games” probably require a lot more continuous content than a typical game, and there is a much larger backend server maintenance to deal with.

The first couple of Fatal Frame games were amazing.

He can take down Squid Game by....investing in an even MORE violent squid game, based on gambling games instead of kids games.

I’m sort of on the fence about the great writing part... For every moment of the baron’s torso riding a hellhound and a remote control car, we get some really lazy sections of low brow humor...the extended scene with Nandor's penis and fart jokes, being a good example from this episode.

Actually, I like the idea of changing the icon to some cute sunny bunny, this-game-is-for-3-year-olds, and see how many parents complain about the game because they downloaded it without seeing the title.

From an engineering standpoint....

We should probably start re-visiting the original casting of Hamilton based on skin tones.
