When there’s a smaller value first, don’t you subtract that number?
So, Louis 5?

“Louis VX”?  Who’s that?

Amazon makes a billion dollars a day. Half a billion on a tv show is basically half a day’s profits. That’s not a big expenditure for them all things considered.

The io9 version of the story, linking to the Hollywood Reporter, said the Day 1 global audience was 25 million viewers. That means - at minimum - 9.25 million people watched the full series.

The show shouldn’t have waited until episode 6 to get good.

I saw it all and mostly liked it but I can totally see why a lot of people bailed. Those first three or four episodes were slow as hell. And because of the weird way that Amazon only owns some very specific rights to a bunch of ancillary parts of Lord of the Rings lore, the superfans didn’t like it because it changed…

Saw them on their last tour (I sometimes work in music venues) and I gotta say, whatever else is going on with Arcade Fire, hearing the first notes of “Wake Up” live and then the crowd singing along is still one of the best moments you can have at a live music event. Funeral really does hold up.

Bro, Feist was on Sesame Street! 

You mean 2 decades later. Arcade Fire AND Feist’s first album both turn 20 next year. Not to mention Feist was well known as a member of Broken Social Scene back in the late 90s.

Funeral was revelatory for its time but everything since has been exponentially diminished returns. I last saw them on the tour for whatever album was before WE (when they were doing shows in the round) and it was actually kind of stunning to hear Funeral/Neon Bible tracks put directly up against the new stuff. They…

If you don’t know Feist, then I’m assuming you didn’t watch TV in the 2000s. She had (if i remember) two songs repurposed for massive, ubiquitous advertising campaigns, including “1-2-3-4" for Apple, that catapulted her to stardom.

Actually,I never get the love for Major League, which just comes off as a bad 80s sitcom that just happens to be 3 episodes long. 

A League of Their Own is the greatest sports movie ever made.

Kids are smart these days. I played winter ball down in Venezuela, kids half his age and every one of them was speaking Spanish!

I like Little Big League.

Moneyball does the seemingly impossible and makes a book about the evolution of scouting and roster construction into a completely engrossing film. Taken on its own terms, it’s definitely a top movie about the sport. Just not playing the sport. Well, except for The Streak segment, which is an absolute masterclass in…

Gen Z writers think “boomer” means anyone older than them.

Dennis Quaid’s last truly good movie
