It’s not for 500m though. The choice was 500m and total lockdown to Apple for the foreseeable future, potentially a career-ending move because Apple might be happy to leave his stuff in it’s walled garden, basically seen by relatively few people, and without any movies which would be outside said garden, thus letting…

Don’t forget, acting as a toll gate for other corporations, taking a huge share of the revenue merely for delivering their content, without actually creating anything themselves. (IE: Apple News)

that is how it works.

Nothing? Nada? You’ve literally never seen anything that he wrote, produced or directed that you thought was good?

I’m sure he, and the $250M deal he just signed, is really disappointed to learn you feel that way.

Well, I have been pondering this and I can’t see how JJ Abrams can screw up DC comics movies anymore than Zack Snyder has. I thought Elektra with Jennifer Garner was the worse movie I ever saw until I saw Batman v. Superman.

I hope you get hit by a car.

Remember when PewDiePie said the n word in an extremely pointed and derogatory manner and barely got a slap on the wrist? Fuck all these dipshits and their fans.

Stop being a sexist, racist, discriminatory asshole, asshole, it’s really not that hard, especially when you’re being paid way too much money to stream a damn video game.

And yet actual scumbags that are overtly racist, homophobic, sexist like DSP walk free. Everyone gets that you shouldn’t say the N-word. You should get punished for saying it. It still doesn’t excuse all the other scumbags that get away with a shit-ton because they don’t say the word outright.

How fucking hard is it not to say this stuff? Grown-ass adults on the internet still calling people “faggot,” “retarded,” “autistic,” “or worse. I get it if you’re 13 and still don’t know any better, or you’re in your stupid edgy teenager phase. But you’re not. Grow the fuck up.

If it quacks like a duck... etc.

I’m already seeing the comments, so let’s be clear about something here:

“Cancel Culture” did not kill Alec Holowka. We don’t yet have the full picture of how he died, but it sounds as if he died by suicide, and had been suffering from a host of psychological and personal difficulties prior to that final, tragic act.

No…

In support of this point, take Leicester City.

asked by a person who doesn’t follow football.

Yes, it’s a rare occurrence for a team with that level of history. English teams are very different than the fly by night minor leagues we have here. With the vagaries of promotion/relegation and the economics that go with it, this year’s fourth level could be a major money maker with some shrewd investment and…

I think the other issue is that owners can come in, buy up teams, jack up their wages, get promoted, and strip down their assets with little incentive not to. So Bury goes out of business, but the owners don’t really suffer. They don’t have any allegiance to the club as a fan.

Yeah, I’m definitely not a #ProRelForUSA type but you’re right that the actual problems in European soccer, at both domestic and continental levels, are a) the huge income disparities between leagues and between teams and b) the fact that spending more money (generally on player salaries and transfers) is the best way…

Pro/rel wouldn’t be a problem in England if they had less income disparity between the leagues AND a measure of cost control.  At least at the lower leauges.  I would think that a reasonable salary cap in the Championship, League One and League Two could prevent teams from blowing up a wage bill to chase the next…

First game I ever saw live was at Bury. It was a 0-0 draw against Swindon that my dad rates as one of the worst matches he’s even been at.
