“How dare a company make rational business moves! Why don’t you bow to the Mouse’s will, Sony?”

Sony isn’t my bud, but I cannot fault a corporation for making perfectly rational business moves.

Insofar as the “details” of the proper deal have been laid out, literally anyone who isn’t a complete idiot or absolutely broke would have walked away from that.

A lot of people in this thread pretending this whole thing isn’t Disney’s fault, yikes.

Always Sunny is basically No Exit repeated ad infinitum anyway, so it makes complete sense.

The trilogy? Huh? What’s that the doing there? It suggests making a trilogy is not only some kind of given but an actual planned-out directive, which... huh? There’s nothing inherently trilogic (<—-I just made that up, but that it ends in logic is neat, doncha think? Cuz I’m not following the logic here, you see)…

The real shame is that Burning Man is moving out of reach of the average weirdo. Like everything cool in California.

Do people over the age of 13 actually say things like “very dope” and “sick music”?

I saw the first It movie with my wife’s 12-year-old cousin, and her one thought after the movie was, “it was fun, but it wasn’t a scary.” A 12 year old kid not thinking it was scary summed it up for me.

Yeah. Because she has this other-worldly good looking face, immediately she’s put in sci-fi fantasies. When Carnival Row started promo-ing I remember thinking, “They finally got her in fairy-wings.” She’s like the dress-up model you want to see on all the Halloween-store costume bags. It's like her modeling agent…

I think the problem is shes fine, but they keep trying to make her a lead which she isn’t. For some reason as soon as she gets on screen she seems to lack any of the chemistry or charm that she undoubtedly has in real life. 

I think she is a fine actress, not outstanding but perfectly good. The internet community just seems to periodically decide that certain actors or (more frequently) actresses are unable to act, despite the fact that the average mouthbreather making comments couldn’t act their way out of a paper bag.

For a split second the title looked like “The Jew Pope” before the lady in blue fell over, which would be an interesting approach to pissing off multiple religions at once.

The trailer looks good, and we already know Joaquin Phoenix can act. The only question remains, can Todd Phillips deliver as a serious writer and director?

Disney are now removing all Fox repertory content from distribution

I’m sure glad we have megacorps that are able to withstand years of losses in a new market to entice consumers with artificially low prices, until their competitors are driven out, at which point they can jack up prices. Real normal economy we have here.

“Essentially pulling out your phone during a comedy show is stealing their content or releasing it before it’s ready.”

Yeah, no it isn’t.

Pulling out your phone, recording a show and then posting it on the internet is stealing their content and releasing it before it’s ready. 

one cool hack to this problem is to turn to them and go ‘hey can you put your phone away until the movie is over?’ and 9 times out of 10 they go ‘sure’. that’s a lot cooler than writing violent fantasies down on the internet for strangers.

Good Authorian Boomer mindset you’ve got there.

Yeah dude, that’s a really weird and violent fantasy. I mean, you basically just described Alamo Drafthouse but without good beer or popcorn and instead heaps of disproportionate violence.

There’s this thing some comedians use that locks the audience member’s phones in a bag until the end of the set or until they leave. If it bothers him so much, he should use these. It absolutely is rude to take out a phone during a show of any kind, but especially when dealing with college kids, you know it’s going to…
