After finishing now, yeah clearly they didn’t every penny they had. The production values were excellent, and overall it was extremely well directed.

You really don’t even need to farm everything else out. Let’s say you’ve got 750 software engineers total (which seems excessive for a database,architecture, website, and apps). What size of marketing/ad sales do you need? 250? That seems really high to me, but let’s go with that. A 2014 study found you need 3 HR…

Twitter has something like 7000 employees who maintain a database, website, and a couple of apps. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE DO YOU NEED TO HIRE FOR THAT!?

Did they ever publically announce an actual movie? Like with a name, or a release data? Or just have some sort of announcement that “we’re letting [insert name here] come up with a concept.”

It should be noted that in the past way before streaming was a thing, The Irishman still would not have gotten made if it hadn’t been made by Marty and starring Bobby. Because that’s just kind of how Hollywood works.

Movies that are pre-Spielberg or pre-Star Wars don't count on Internet websites

“Niantic is stupid because they are out of touch with Pokemon Go players” seems to directly contradict “Niantic is stupid because the are laying off people when they make billions of dollars from Pokemon Go players”.

I kind of disagree. I went in watching it not expecting too much, and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a pg-13 version of “kids killing each other” but I found that movies spoke to a lot more than that ( bread and circuses, the marketing of sports heroes, how one simple act can inadvertently spark bigger…

I thought that they covered that pretty well in the Nolan Batman movies, where some internal auditor guy shows up at Morgan Freeman’s office and says “this Batman guy is running around with tech that falls under your supervision for a department that doesn’t exist. Give me $10 million or I take this public.” And…

Insert “why not both” meme here.

Yeah, I liked the promise of Leia and Obi Wan having an exciting adventure from the early episodes.

When he stood there watching Obi Wan escape after the fire being ignited. The pained expression under his mask quietly said “if only I could do something about this fire...”

The idea that Qui Gon is quietly pulling the strings to ensure that millions of planets suffer under the wrath of Darth Vader’s rule is kind of fun.

I mean, why would a military facility have large, panoramic windows underwater to begin with

Are we sure that Jango is actually dead? There’s a good chance a bacta tank could clear that right up. 

“I’m beaten Vader twice in my life with lightsabers! I could’ve killed him but I didn’t”

I thought that, at least in the first few episodes, having Obi Wan and Little Leia having an adventure would be fun.... But then it turned into an Obi Wan and Vader broodiness show, in which nothing really changed in their relationship from where we last left it. (Because of the prequel nature). And it seems strange…

Obi Wan was being burned alive, and a few hours later he's fine running around in evil villain lairs. Bacta tanks do wonders, I guess.

The idea of many seasons of Obi Wan successfully just escaping Darth Vader’s grasp over and over again is kind of amusing.

I think that every new slot machine in Vegas has wireless charging now. Wireless charging tables in restaurants is becoming a thing now. If they have some clever implementation of the wireless charging area, than sure patent it, but they most certainly can’t just patent the IDEA of “hey we have a flat surface, perfect…
