I think they will actually come out of it OK without being purchased, they just need to really change how they do things. For all I know the changes they’ve already made are part of the solution. It won’t be the first time Netflix has had to make large changes to it’s business model, everyone thought that the move…

I think the problem Netflix ran into with shows like Glow or Santa Clarita diet is that they don’t have the same re-watch value and mass appeal as the content that they were replacing. 5 years ago when you could watch stuff like Seinfeld, Freinds, or a wide variety of major motion pictures, most people probably…

They could have delayed it if they wanted to. Every show had to deal with pre-vaccine covid shut downs and restrictions, some got canceled and some didn’t. the difference is whether the studio / streaming service decided to spend the money. 

Huh. So a business did something that upset it’s customer base and those customers took their business to the competition. “Cancel Culture” sounds suspiciously like “free market capitalism” here. In this scenario I would say that both are working as intended.

Netflix is in real trouble and it has nothing to do with password sharing. the problem is that five years ago a Netflix subscription was $9/month and that got you damn near EVERYTHING. Tons of TV shows and pretty much every big movie you might want to watch. Netflix was your primary source for all content and there…

Trans rights is a BIG, big issue for youth in the US as well. There are a lot of teens that identify as trans or non-binary here and they are generally very well accepted by their peers (much more so than by their parents, in some cases) My son is cis but friends with a few kids who aren’t and he’s damn near militant…

I’ve installed aftermarket stereos in every car I’ve owned (never outgrew it from back when I was a teenager) and I dread trying to install an aftermarket head unit in my next car. I know stock stereos have come a long way since back then, but I really enjoy having very good audio quality in my car. My amps, sub, and…

I’m seriously mystified how this reviewer hated it so much. I found this to tbe the funniest episode of the season and Lizzo was amazing. 

I thought this was the best episode of the season. Lizzo should get to host every year. Yes, her performance was a bit uneven but she brought a great energy to the show and her next appearance will probably be more polished. 

Making the DC movies it’s own vertical virtually guarantees that they will copy Marvel. Think about it this way: the new vertical will have executives and management types, who will need to do something productive to justify their huge salaries and not get fired. Normally for stuio execs that would mean “be a studio…

But what if he was free... what if he got the sort of free reign that snyder got, except he used it to make movies that didn’t suck? For example, The Suicide Squad, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

lol. That, plus “this Mexican guy doesn’t fit any stereotypes, I don’t know what to do with that so I ought to play it safe in case he is someone important”.

They needed to make it harsh enough to “send a message”, since the majority of the PR hit the academy took was from not kicking him out of the ceremony immediately. If he had left or if his acceptance speech hadn’t been such a shitty non-apology I bet it would have been 2-3 years. 

OK, the lawsuit from Marvin Gaye’s estate. my mistake. 

Most of the others are during or shortly after takeoff. There are also other accidents where something goes wrong during the middle portion of the flight, the fatalities would not have occurred until the plane hits the ground but it was in the process of landing at the airport so it was not included in that category…

It’s not really dangerous at all, they train for go-arounds all the time. What would have been more dangerous would have been continuing with the landing.

A lot of those are controlled flight in to terrain, pilots ignore low visibility restrictions and descend lower than they should on approach and end up hitting something before they get to the airport. That general scenario is probably a good chunk of all pilot-error crashes.

Some of those were part of the problem, some were legitimately great art. songs where they were rapping over someone else’s song such as “Can’t Touch This” and “Ice Ice Baby” were examples of actual copyright violation in my opinion and it’s unfortunate that they ripped off those songs becuase they originally brought…

Look, I know we all hate Robin Thicke but can we at least recognize that the lawsuit from Marvin Gaye was bullshit, and that it set a stupid precedent for copyright claims in music?

They do sound goofy, but if that’s what ends up being commonly used we’ll all get used to it and they won’t sound goofy anymore. there’s all sorts of weird shit in the English language already, like how “ph” is pronounced like an f.
