It depends on the historical context your talking about - there’s more than one. 

Like most big Supreme Court rulings, Paramount was read as extending beyond the specific studios to include movie studios generally - but it was still living on borrowed time. Even in 1948 it was a bit of an odd duck - the original suit was filed during the Depression because studios were exerting unfair leverage on…

Fortunately, the “parts” here are movie theaters, so there's no way to flip them unless Sony wants to get into bowling or EDM business. 

Fortunately he’s got the clout to turn them down. Also he was EP on the new Candyman, so I’m sure Nia DaCosta called him up to say, “it’s not worth it.”

Bigger Country. 

They’re Cinemax’s stiffest competition for “least valuable streaming service .”

People have a hard time articulating why the song has aged poorly. The woman can’t say “yes” or “no,” so the man (and the listeners) interpret her excuses as coyness. The social expectation that women won’t say “yes,” and men have to pursue them over their (fake) objections, relies on men correctly distinguishing fake…

Those ladies have you hook line and sinker, eh? 

LOTR was a single novel that the publisher split into three, and the Silmarilion was a collection of writings compiled posthumously into a single book. The man himself got two books out of Middle Earth.

That doesn’t track with the substance of the show, where the Bent Neck Lady keeps interjecting into Nell’s life until Nell kills herself, or the Hat Guy who seems to be associated with the one brother’s addiction, or the zombie-like thing in the cellar. It’s fine that the show wanted to diverge from the source novel…

In the context of a script, is an AI generated asset a word or a phrase? 

His estate found lots of stuff to publish. He found two big books and a whole lot of footnotes. 

It’s the only part of the Star Wars universe that allows for moral ambiguity, which makes it the only part that’s still viable as drama. You can’t really humanize the Empire,  nobody gives a shit about the First Order or the Trade Federation, and D+ has done bounty hunters to death. 

On the other hand, the Jedi are the most recognizable part of the series, and they’ve really tapped out the “War” parts of it. There are movies about the Clone Wars, movies about the Galactic Civil War, and movies where the Galactic Civil War starts over again. And there are series filling the gaps between the movies…

I’m curious what the subsequent versions of this story are going to look like. When my wife finished college in 2005, the job market was already shit, and when she finished her MFA in 2009 it was even worse, and meanwhile her student loan payments (at 6.8% - fucking Bush) were more than the rent. In that economic…

I love that whenever the TR remake needs to goose the excitement it introduces another room full of wet corpses. Like, the island must have two shipwrecks a week to maintain that inventory.

Nobody would insure a production that included both Dreyfus and Voigt, so when one or both of them inevitably melted down and/or died, the studio would be broke - not to mention all the insane stories that would leak from the set. 

AI seems really good for handling tasks that humans can’t do, like efficiently processing and modifying gigantic loads of digital information or making “Inland Empire” look like a real movie.

Scooby Snaxx: A Knives out Mystery. 

So here’s the thing - the Bay Area is like that with Fernet Branca, which is disgusting as a shot but really nice as a slow-drinking aperitif. I get the impression Malort is even more astringent and off-putting than Fernet, but I assume it’s the same situation - there’s a way to enjoy it that isn’t “pounding a shot…
