Obviously read the whole story if you’d like but let me distill the whole thing for you; Bird is/was an app-based gig hustle created solely to go public via SPAC and make its founder(s) and initial investors rich, passing off costs and losses to people who did the actual work and the average Joe who bought the stock.…

I’m sure the added competition from Aquaman 2 will have some effect, but I don’t know how much the audiences for the movies will overlap. Wonka seems well positioned to take advantage of Christmas, where for many viewers it becomes less important what you are dying to see, and more important what grandma, your teenage…

Part of that answer comes down to the entire AT&T vehicle “enterprise.” That’s not just the vehicle, it’s the training of sufficient mechanics (electricians?) with new tools and testing, any new facilities that are needed for different vehicles like chargers, and the production availability of parts. All of that tends…

I did corporate charter for a decade, and this is not a new idea. The problem remains the same though: it’s luck of the draw whether there will be a flight available.

now we know why all of the rich people are flocking to texas. No state tax and child support caps!

But they generally only run twice a day with hours in between, so it seems like a perfect situation where fast swapping is not needed.

It’s weird to think about for sure. I guess Richard Madden has had some decent work on others series, but everyone probably associates him with The Eternals and leaves it there. WHICH Kit Harrington was also immemorably in.

No they are still moving forward with that Jon Snow spinoff no one wants.

Oh yea, I think they could. But that would be pandemonium. I honestly can’t believe Tesla hasn’t pulled off a bidding for reservation number stunt yet.

I mean, does anyone remember Mars One from a few years back?

Ah damn, you should have used a /s on that.  Sorry.

Jimmy Buffet was the type of businessman that liked playing baseball, so he bought himself a minor league team and made himself player/coach.

Adding onto what everyone else is saying: I feel like there was almost zero marketing for this. I didn’t really know it was even coming out until like 2 weeks ago, which was mostly because reports came out that it would probably underperform. Granted, all the other factors mentioned were likely even bigger factors,…

They only rose 49% last quarter so it’s really bad. /s

Business myopia has always been a thing. They believe that product sales in the early stage of its life cycle will continue forever, conveniently forgetting the concepts of saturation and competition.  

I mean ultimately the box office is always a roller coaster. The new Mission Impossible got great reviews and audience reception numbers, but still underperformed. Although that was also affected that it came just before the juggernauts that Barbie and Oppenheimer turned out to be, but still.

If you adjust for inflation, even the successful Marvel movies are performing less well. The box office hasn’t come back to its pre-Covid days. You had the strike which limited promotion. In this case, I think the promotion it likely would have benefitted the most from would have been throwing Iman Vellani into the…

It’s getting harder to believe they’re still in high school than Demogorgons, Mind Flayers, Vecba, mind powers... COMBINED!

You mean the one that AVClub put at sixth best?

They brought back one of Moe’s old girlfriends from a previous season and they got engaged. Also Comic Book Guy met a woman online and they got married.
