Yeah, it’s crazy.

It does make you wonder, however, if some of the narrative choice in the movie (namely it essentially taking place in one location and most scenes involving the main characters sitting down and talking) was done by M. Night as an accomodation to Bruce, presuming of course he had begun to experience…

I like Penn Badgley as an actor, but it is telling that his two most notable roles involved him playing utterly creepy psychopaths (Dan in Gossip Girl and Joe in You).

It’s a tough situation all around.

On one hand, there’s the possibility that his management team/relations were doing this without his knowledge or any serious consent by him, knowing that the days of being the main breadwinner in the family we’re dying down.

On the other hand, there’s also the possibility that, as much…

The Grammy’s have had difficulty for decades delineating between the desire to recognize what is clearly the most popular music of a given time, and what the voters would consider the “best” music of a given time, as the two are neither mutually inclusive or exclusive of one another.

It’s made even more difficult when…

The issue is that rail, especially hi-speed rail, is a massive NIMBY here in the states because almost all of our infrastructure is designed around people owning cars. Those car owners see rail as nothing more than an inconvenience foisted upon them by city-dwellers who can’t wrap their head around car ownership in…

Luna ran in the district that Charlie Crist vacated to run for Governor. It encompasses the western part of Pinellas County (think St. Pete Beach all the way up to Clearwater Beach, Tarpon Springs, and Palm Harbor). It was originally a very conservative district before re-districting in 2015 cut off the portion that…

Well if you’re in possession of the incontrovertible evidence that would prove his guilt, give it to the LA County DA, have them re-open the case, and be a hero.

Otherwise, spare me the indignation and go piss up a rope.

Cheers.

Yeah.

I’m a Michael Jackson superfan, and I still have Prince #1, MJ #2 when it comes to Superbowl performances. And, when it comes to Beyonce performances, I thought her doing Formation in 2016 was better than the entirety of her 2013 set, if only because Formation is a much better Superbowl song (along with Bruno…

I’ll always have a certain affection for the first movie because a big chunk of it took place in my hometown (Tampa, Florida), and I have a former teacher who taught Channing Tatum when he went to Tampa Catholic (according to said teacher, he went by “Chan” in high school, and going to Hollywood, they had him use his…

I’m really surprised that “What the World Needs Now Is Love” isn’t on here.

Between it and “Walk on By”, those are the two that instantly come to mind when I think of Burt.

Earning less money =/= losing money.

Microsoft is still highly profitable. They’ve simply earned less money relative to the same quarter last year. However, they’re net income (profit) for non-FY 2022 still totaled over $17bn.

I won’t speak on the merits of The Woman King since I haven’t watched it, but the overall situation brings to mind I thought I had for awhile (and one I’m sure many others have had): tokenism when it comes to nominations for awards in mostly white circles.

To elaborate, I heard resounding acclaim for Everything,…

For comparison, a quick google search shows Nintendo valued at around $56 billion (assuming the internet is correct) and is listed as the third most valuable company in Japan. Sony’s net worth is around $156 billion, but I couldn’t find a number that separates their gaming sector from the rest of their business.

While King has been growing, Activision still provides the majority of revenues both quarterly and yearly for the combined company.

Blizzard is becoming more of an afterthought, especially when you consider that they’re essentially down to 3 IPs that are really worth anything: Warcraft (which includes WoW), Diablo…

To be fair, people seem to forget that the 2nd biggest segment of Activision-Blizzard isn’t Blizzard, it’s King, that makes Candy Crush.

And by 2nd biggest, I mean not just the entire company (Activison vs. King), but also their two most financially lucrative IPs, CoD and Candy Crush, respectively.

So, I don’t think MS…

I’ll jump in.

I want this merger to go through because, without it, there’s a good chance that Activision Blizzard gets voluntarily split up anyways. One could argue that the Blizzard side has been a bit of a drag on earnings for the last 5-6 years (with various debacles like BFA and Shadowlands for WoW, Starcraft as…

This merger has gotten so much scrutiny because it’s Microsoft as the purchaser, full stop.

It’s absolutely incongrous to think that any of these regulators really care about gaming when it comes to Microsoft. The reality is that gaming for Microsoft is such an incredibly small part of their overall business, that the…

As a gay man, coming empty handed is a rather celebratory thing in certain circumstances.

Let me school you as someone with a degree in political science and who used to work in politics.

Barack beat Mccain in 2008 53-47. That was a landslide not just in the popular vote (Barack had 9.5m more votes than McCain, a gap that large that hadn’t happened since Reagan in 1984), but in the electoral college, it was…

Exactly.

While I didn’t watch the show itself, I can imagine that many of the competitors weren’t in particularly good shape, weren’t athletes, and simply didn’t take care of themselves. Guess what? Injuries happen, and often times they happen to the people who do take care of themselves, and train, and exercise, and…
