That’s what I was thinking. If it isn’t a grand sport I don’t want it.

No. It’s definitely a cross.

It’s a plus sign and a minus sign....

I mean. I’m not saying no one should like the movies. I’m just saying I don’t think they were that good. People may not LIKE The Godfather but I think most people would have a hard time arguing it wasn’t a well made film. For me the LOTR trilogy was the opposite. People really liked it but I don’t think it was…

Nope. Say whatever you want about the quality of the original trilogy but there’s definitely a ton of story.

Hey dummy. The model t was the foundation for the mass produced auto. Doesn’t make it worthwhile in a modern context.

Hey man, you’re entitled. That said. Wouldn’t you LOVE a well done series on the books? C’mon.. you know would!

Please - a ton of garbage has made money and won a ton of awards only to look like shit a decade later. Basically people were just thrilled that someone could make something resembling the books vs what had come before. People would LOVE if LOTR got the GOT treatment.

Lol. It’s hipster to say they were only OK? I say please remove your D&D dice out of your anus. It’s super nerdy to refuse to see past the over the top battle scenes and crazy landscape cinematography and see there wasn’t much of a “story” and not even that much real acting. The Frodo Sam stuff was downright painful.…

Look. The movies were mediocre at best. Hell the books at times were fairly mediocre.

Let’s be honest. A movie trilogy was never ever going to do the books justice. And while the films were visually stunning and better than adaptations before it, they really weren’t that great. I don’t have a ton of faith in Amazon but I hope for the best. I think miniseries or multiple miniseries is the correct…

My cousin has an ecoboost Mustang. It is a legitimately quick car by any standard.

This thread is so old that I had to reread my comment to see. I’m not sure you read it. I didn’t mock anything.

People keep saying it feels like ceramic. But it isn’t? So what is it. I’m sure I could click on their marketing link but it seems like something important to have in a kinja deals review/promotion

Great article - I bet the steering could be fixed with some bushing replacement and all the other usual suspects. No idea about the vague shifting, but yeah. All I remember about the first time I got into my current “classic” was that despite it being slower than my DD at the time, by a lot, I couldn’t get the grin…

No one is saying they aren’t losing money. Investors are just betting that the capital investment and R&D are laying a foundation for something much bigger. I happen to agree with that perspective. Manufacturing cars isn’t easy, and not to minimize the bottleneck, but if that’s their only problem, given the relative…

Amazon is unique. Good eCommerce companies grow like nothing else. And I disagree. I think Tesla’s losses come from their expenditures to ramp up production and from R&D. Their 10K bears that out.

You’re moving the argument simply because it suits whatever rant you want to make. I was making a much simpler point. When people trot out the thousands Tesla loses per car, this figure is usually calculated by taking their GAAP losses and dividing it by cars delivered. But if you’re looking at a balance sheet and…

Eh. The point is that Amazon, despite good profit margins and solid revenue, hardly ever posted a profit for years, according to their filings. But just because it didn’t turn a “profit” it didn’t mean the company was failing or unsuccessful. Yes, Amazon isn’t Tesla, but the idea that the balance sheet and/or…

You’re oversimplifying. Operating expenses also include R&D, which, if you read their filings, are part of the reason for their extensive losses.
