The attorney representing Videology responded to the cease-and-desist letter with a reply that simply read: "We Do Not Sow".

A hipster is someone who spends a lot of money trying to convince everyone they are poor. It's synonymous with "asshole".

The Conquistadors weren't alone in those battles. They had allies from some of the tribes that were serfs of the Aztecs and Mayans.

"remember how a few hundred conquistadores took down a whole empire."

Disease did the bulk of that lifting, not swords. Also the Mayan empire was already collapsing before the Spanish showed up because of overexpansion which had depleted their ag base.

The freed slaves wouldn't accomplish much in a war. No training or equipment.

None of trailers have made this look interesting to me.

Re-creating dinosaurs was spitting in gods face.

Yeah, this artist gets paid at a rate that is 1/5000th the average rate. That's totally statistically likely……

Royalty payments don't go through the label, it's handled by a separate agency. Even if Portishead's label wanted to fuck them out of the royalty payments, they don't have the access to do so.

Every industry article I've read on streaming royalties (including the critical ones) cites a figure of about half a penny per stream for Spotify (which is one of the lowest rates among major companies). By law about half of this goes to the recording artist and the other half goes to the recording rights owner. So…

BS. Every industry analysis I've read on streaming royalties cites a figure of about half a penny per stream for Spotify (which is the lowest among the major companies). By law half of this must go to the recording artist, so assuming Portishead's record label gets the other half, 45 million streams will earn them…

Banks do not issue checks in amounts that small. Your story is highly suspect.

I don't believe his estimate. 3 grand for 34 million streams? Sorry, but no. I know artists have legit gripes about streaming royalties, but this just screams "massive exaggeration".

And if we were 15 in the 30's we'd be foraging for wild plants to make soup with!

Now I want a tesla coil that will light cigars for me.

And if we were 15 and in the 70's, this would be outta sight!

Superman sucks. We need a movie like this that will take him down a peg or two.

Lot of hate here. I actually thought this looked pretty awesome.

No Jar Jar Binks.

What's the difference between a baby and an eight ball of cocaine?

Eric Clapton would save an eight ball that was about to roll out of a 50-story window.
