I know this book.  The conclusions were all wrong.

I don't see how that works for them. They don't have a theme park or merchandise to sell. They don't have many theatrical movies to sell tickets for or broadcast/cable channels to push. I don't think a lot of people get a new phone or iPad just for the 6 months of streaming.

Netflix is profitable. Disney+ is finally, barely/almost, profitable (if you don’t count the losses incurred by ESPN+ and Hulu). Max is temporarily, minimally, profitable after Zaslav slashed expenses to roughly zero. Prime video...who knows since it’s revenue is lumped in with free package delivery.

The app says 9ET.

This is pretty much the trend, right? Not just on pure documentaries or direct to streaming. Things like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman suffered from the same problems. The people who are still alive get involved and make sure they aren’t serious looks at somebody’s life, but hagiographies or puff pieces.

Especially episode 4!

I suppose it is technically correct that the series finale of Sweet Tooth airs Thursday, but so does the premiere of season 3.  And all the rest of season 3.

It isn’t even just that it is the family business. You get exposed to it regularly, you know it pretty well, and a good portion of people are going to decide that they like it. You also will have connections of course, because you might end up in a job interview or audition with someone who knew you from when you were…

How come nobody talk about the nepo-baby farmers!!!

Pretty soon he will be able to make one that seves as a sequel to both "Top Gun" and "Space Cowboys." 

This scene always makes me think Hugo Weaving has nerves of steel. Oven if it is a prop sword, he’s waving that thing really close to Elrond’s face.

He’ll even do his own stunts, as long as there is no snowplow involved.

Gonna have to agree with Soylent Green here. For its time, that scene was pretty amazing.

You have my sword!

I think you are correct, but I also think that demonstrates the reduction in taste of the average art consumer. “Furiosa” was glorious in IMAX, will be good enough on a big TV with a decent sound system, and most of it will be lost on a laptop/tablet/phone.

She says sa-bo-tage, I say sah-boh-tahge.

Does Los Angeles even have snow plows?

The math sorta checks out.
