“I will always have a love for Random Roles interviews”

Well, if it is the last one, it’s a great one to go out on.

Queued up before the cull. The intent was indeed to leave out of solidarity, so you can imagine my frustration when it got bumped to a run date that was after everyone else from the old guard had already left the building. That said, I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised to see that the piece ended up being

Worse, they now project a loss of 2 million subscribers next quarter.”

Smacks of “purposefully setting low expectations so that when it doesn’t turn out nearly that bad everybody’s thrilled.”

(Imagine the following with the delivery of “The Aristocrats!”)  It’s Capitalism!

I think another factor that we’re seeing now is that their refusal to move new shows to a weekly release schedule is backfiring.  Disney and HBO are releasing their hotly-anticipated shows weekly so that hype builds or is sustained, and people remain subscribed, while Netflix still dumps the whole new season at once

As coincidence would have it, Deadspin has a video-listicle of Costner sports movies: https://deadspin.com/ranking-kevin-costners-best-sports-movies-1848882040

The Quick and the Dead is a movie that audiences did not get when it came out but looking back at it, you see it was just ahead of its time in how its structures and shot. Honestly can say that a lot about Raimi’s work.   There are a ton of stories about both young film makers and veterans going to see Evil Dead 2 and

Hmm... same crap we always here from NFT apologetics. “You don’t understand it...” Of course... then, by all means, enlighten us. Explain, in detail, what amazing concrete use-case NFTs enable that other existing tech can’t. I’m still waiting for such a response from anyone complaining about the NFT haters.

Agreed. I can abide a lot of things, but I despise theft. Sharign passwords and bit torrentting and that shit drives me berserk. This isn’t Les Miserables, and you’re not stealing a loaf a bread so your family can eat.

I saw an episode of Star Trek when they did that to get out of a wormhole.  It didn’t make sense there either 

...is now getting sued by its shareholders for those crappy subscriber numbers it posted back in April.

The dastardly art of abbreviating a long paragraph to point out the relevant bit! Yellow journalism strikes again!

You get a star just for referencing The Three Doctors.

NFTs are QAnon if it were stock, if believing in a flat Earth could be bought and sold. They depend on the belief in their own existence to exist, requiring faith and religious notions of “worthiness” in order to flourish.

Fortnite could easily allow you to resell the skins you buy if they wanted to. It would be extremely simple, but extremely pointless as well because it doesnt make them money. And you dont have to use blockchain to do it either. Fuck, Diablo had a marketplace over a decade ago that you could sell weapons at

How about a receipt for a link to a photo of a tulip?

Everytime someone starts whining about this, they never explain what those things that NFTs can actually be used for are, and how they’re better than existing methods.

Finally! Maybe now these tulip bulbs’ll really take off.
