This is the right response. I’m not picking this up until it’s on sale for $10 like the older GTAs. It’s not like I don’t already have a hefty backlog and can’t resist purchasing this. Shit, I haven’t even beaten GTAV’s campaign yet. 

Thank you! It’s literally early afternoon and I had to double-check whether I had been drinking or an anvil fell on my head or something.

Lol, I just assumed I didn’t process the part when they mentioned Ijazuddi and didn’t feel like backtracking.

Genuinely thought I was going crazy reading that.

Good old Jezebel and their lack of proofreading

Surely the contraception restrictions won’t stand. They haven’t even gotten around to striking the constitutional protections for birth control yet. Maybe Thomas is hoping to upgrade his RV first.

Its definitely not what the Founding Fathers intended when you look at how many different parties had Presidential candidates in the elections throughout the 1830s thru the 1850s.

Maybe it was his Birthday week?

Not to mention he was ridiculously funny in The IT Crowd, even when surrounded by ridiculously funny people like Noel Fielding, Katherine Parkinson, and Richard Ayoade.

I assumed the headline was factitious at first... but its just actually just sad.

yeah i was just about to mention that

It makes sense, I guess. Disney haven’t cared about originality for decades now.

While this holds some water, Fair Use does not, by any stretch of the imagination, allow you to use an author’s entire copyrighted work without permission as a part of a data training program that feeds into your own “AI algorithm.”

I kind of hated Disney World when I went there when I was 11 or so.  But AI could make some pretty cool stuff possible in a theme park.  It would also make a pretty sweet horror movie plot.

eggs, just like humans.

So, linguistic analysis, which is fine - perfectly fine - if done by underpaid (or unpaid) interns entering data manually while being bored and miserable is somehow wrong if the process is automated?

Hoo boy, SOMEbody paid G/O to actually give a fuck about this deep trash nothingburger nonsense bullshit about a movie.

Where do baby mermaids come from?

but it’s not like disney knew prior to release that it would underperform. they have estimates which tell them how much to spend on marketing and forecast revenue from sales and licensing. etc. so everything in june/july underperformed ok. but there is nothing like an act of god (like covid for example) that they can…

companies dont consider movies successes or failures by comparing them to the competition (other than for pure ego or pr); they evaluate them based on return on investment.
