While that is true, it also doesn’t make Willow good. Just watched the two episodes and they are better than the movie so far.  Which also doesn’t necessarily make this show good.

2 Fatal 2 Attract

I strongly recommend the odd sized measuring spoons (and odd sized measuring cups). Especially if you cook for 2 and cut a lot of recipes in half.

The irony is that “for life” is likely to be significantly less time for the winner than for the losers.

Hopefully all of the hundreds of people who didn't adopt Fishtopher adopted some other animal who needed a home and wanted to be loved.

Remember: Brands are not your friends....unless they put out press releases that facilitate content.

I went with the D’Artagnan Green Circle Conventional turkey, which was $82 and $47 for delivery for a 12 - 14 lb bird and the one they sent was right at 14. It would have been great if I hadn’t overcooked it. I had trouble getting the probe in the right place and the temp kept shooting up way too fast to believe it.…

It’s a hobby. It doesn’t need defending.

IIRC, Irulan is only present for the last scene and has no spoken lines in the first novel. My guess is they expanded her role because a third movie was never guaranteed and otherwise they hired a very prominent actor for a non-speaking cameo, but not really as stunt casting.

Apple just wants Disney+ because the only thing investors like more than a streaming service losing a billion dollars a year is TWO streaming services losing a billion dollars a year.

It actually comes from the 1938 British stage play that the movie was based on.

The 1996 Olympics were in Atlanta, home of Coca-Cola.  There was no way on earth they were going to let Pepsi outbid them for that sponsorship.

It’s the internet and it is populated by the young so everything has to be new, nefarious, and have a buzzword. Stores used to have “sales.” Now they have “surge pricing.”

There seems to have been much less advertising for Strange World for some reason. Very few commercials and almost now trailers in the theaters that I can recall. We will probably see it later this week or this weekend.

Fraud/Error in Judgement...Tomato/To-mah-to.

You can either charge people more, pay less for content, or run ads. There isn’t really any other option. I don’t think the servers, staff, or software cost a lot compared to the content, so cutting them won’t help.

According to McKean there was a cut scene where he tells them they’ve overshot Chicago by about a hundred miles (which a navigation app also would have told them).

By all accounts, it’s not the parks. It was the losses at Disney+, the surprise layoffs, and his authoritarian management style. The parks remain the most profitable thing they do and make the Disney+ losses possible.

Wouldn't that just result in a blank page?

The Mother in Law is clearly the asshole, but the Daughter in Law needs to learn the rule of Mothers in Law which is "can't win, don't play." I told my wife this early on. My mother likes to be controlling and doesn't like to be called on her bullshit, so let me do it and take the flak. I've got 55 years experience…
