My dad also really liked it! But he likes 2 and a Half Men and the Big Bang Theory, so although I love him to death, I never trust his movie/show recommendations.
I’m super curious as to his motives. From the article, it sounds like he really wanted to talk to other men in a sexual way, and wasn’t specifically using it to get back at or punish his ex-girlfriend (obviously, his total disregard for her right to privacy is fucked up regardless of his intentions).
A public water fountain is a privilege we pay for through the GOVERNMENT. MoviePass is a private entity that is offering a service for a price. Completely different.
Right. So first of all - it WAS obvious immediately, for a large majority of people, that this was going to crash and burn.
And the reason why overly generous plans work is because they have an incredibly cheap bottom-line (like data after the cost of infrastructure is paid for) that they sell for a really pricy base…
Hardwick identified himself as the person she was talking about. So I think this particular point is moot.
Has anyone ever told you you are super bad at analogies? You absolutely, 100% have broken a rule if you are stealing 80,000 gallons of water from a water fountain. Regardless, that would take a really long time and I am sure you would have been stopped before you even really attempted it.
Inapplicable logical…
Probably because he is a career politician looking for a tv-friendly wife. He’s just as smarmy as she is, just hides it better.
That’s fair. I’m also bummed my unlimited cheap movies are coming to a predictable end.
However, you literally just compared people who are celebrating the end of a hubristic capitalist endeavor that was obviously going to fail from the start to someone who would go into a hospital room and laugh at a terminally ill…
How, though? MoviePass literally says you can do that and almost encouraged it. If the business model of your company is to offer a service that you hope no one actually uses, that’s a bad business model not a bunch of people exploiting a loophole in a good one.
Yes, let’s not bully the convicted felon who is actively peddling lies that are being lapped up by possibly 20-50% of the US population before an election that could decide who the next Supreme Court justice is and whether or not we continue to JAIL CHILDREN because we might hurt his fee-fees.
I went to an Ivy League and I can tell you that some of the stupidest people I know graduated with a BA (or BS). An expensive education does nothing for you if you have not developed the ability to think critically about things you disagree with.
Also, Ben Carson is a neurosurgeon.
I had an amusing conversation recently with a freelance videographer who has been doing campaign video work for the upcoming election in November.
I asked him about whether or not he had ever been asked to work for someone whose political beliefs were totally opposite of his, and he laughed and said, “You know, I…
Oh, absolutely.
I, on the other hand, love movies but also found MoviePass to be completely repulsive it its current iteration (had no problem with the original $50/mo plan), so I took full advantage by purchasing a 12-month pass for $89 and felt great joy every time I swiped the card (3+ times a week at $12.50 a pop)…
Um, because grandma isn’t a hubristic venture capital firm that makes and spends obscene amounts of money with little to no regards for individual lives and how they are affected to “disrupt” an industry with one of the absolute worst business models I have ever seen.
Your implication is that MoviePass never…
It’s like, for once, we wanted to stick it to a corporation and save money instead of the other way around! #latestagecapitalism
That is the point of why the MoviePass model was so stupid: This person purchased a product, used the product in the way they were instructed to do, and the company folded. Blaming the customer for a bad business plan is ridiculously short-sighted.
Yeah, but who is the victim here? Some venture capitalists who thought that they would get a pat on the back for “disrupting” the cinema market? If this were a mom-and-pop establishment focused on a great product and customer satisfaction, I would understand your point.
How is it gross? MoviePass’s entire business model was unsustainable from the beginning, and most of us were aware of it even when we bought in. This is the “I told you so” moment.
There’s no such thing as a deal that good - they were looking to capitalize by collecting customer data and monitoring geolocations (even…
