I bet “vastly reduced price” = “5% off with twice the commercials, a 24 month commitment, and a very Comcastesque early cancellation fee.”

We are going in September for the first time in many years (before Pandora). We waited till the park hopping restrictions eased up and the reservations went away so we can be a little more spontaneous and flexible. I’m also not a big fan of paying for fast passes, but I doubt that Genie is going back in the bottle, so…

The park reservations went away in January except for a few special tickets and for some annual passholders on some dates.  Most people do not need one and have not for 5 months.

Yup. This is just so the accountants can screw over creatives. Even Freakazoid knew:

I’d rather have “God Emperor” than any Brian Herbert garbage.

I just took it to mean that gen Z was making fewer millennials than previous generations, which seemed normal since it’s hard to create people older than you are.

I did not know that.  Thanks for the correction.

The budget for a video game or animated show is usually a lot smaller than for a summer tnetpole movie. It might be hard to get some of the stars to work for video game voice over pay.

I think the definition of success is very flexible and has more to do with how much the show costs and whether it is licensed from another company. Cheaper shows have a much lower bar.

$20M would be eight figures, not seven. That doesn't change your point or his.

This franchise is now in “Pirates of the Caribbean” territory in that I can not remember which ones I have seen and which ones I have not.

I thought the metaphor in "The Devil's Chord" was the conservative British government trying to kill off the BBC and the arts in general. But YMMV.

Constellation was good, but it was slow paced and required a lot of attention.  I was looking forward to season 2, but I’m not crushed it isn’t happening.

Leitch and Gosling literally call the movie a love letter to the stunt people in a bumper before it screens, so I don't think it is inappropriate for people to echo that.

It is still pretty thin, but I would guess it would include a lot of this, which is from The One Wiki to Rule Them All and cites The Council of Elrond from Fellowship as the source in the books.

I can't figure out the order of operations in that headline.

I own a convertible and it is, actually, great.

If the door you designed needs instructions to open and you aren’t hiding the Ark of the Covenant behind it, you have done an excellent job defining “bad design.”
