If I have to hear one more person say “womb” today...!

I bought a Sony 4K TV in 2020 that made a major selling point about its compatibility with next gen console features like VRR. Of course, it took 18 months for those features to get patched in via firmware updates, and when they did it became a choice you have to make about the HDMI input: Do you want Dolby Vision…

Waco 2: Still Smouldering

Just to make this more infuriating, please keep in mind that despite the (relatively miniscule) subscriber drop, Netflix revenues were up this quarter. The stock panic seems to be that they’ve plateaued and will “only” make a net profit of roughly $1.5 billion/quarter moving forward.

When I looked at the Wikipedia page and saw that there were like 5 production companies involved with the show over the run of the series - some only for a season or two - my line of thinking was that it’s probably very difficult to corral rights from all of those entities (assuming the non-NBC Studios companies are st…

Fox Nation also has the “benefit” of a viewerbase that readily welcomes the idea of paying a monthly fee for propaganda that reaffirms their existing beliefs.

Once I found out that, due to existing carriage contracts, CNN+ could not live or breaking news coverage, I questioned why they invested anything in this endeavor to begin with rather than try leveraging the CNN brand for docuseries that could be launched on their existing streaming platform. But I guess that’s why…

“Seth Rogen smoked all my weed”

Weird that Guinness added depth and texture to their logo at the same time that seemingly every other brand started moving away from faux-3D looks and extraneous, busy graphical elements (the gradient backgrounds seen in the old-style Velveeta and Snapple logos, for example.)

They could’ve doubled the number of clickthroughs/ad impressions!

The Yakuza series and their JRPGs (including a number of series that haven’t made it to the West) do extraordinarily well in Japan.

Elisha Cuthbert is famously method; she spent 25 real-time minutes being menaced by a cougar for that episode of 24 despite the fact that we only saw maybe 90 seconds of it on-screen.

The final wrinkle to my story was that the guy I saw using it was hard-of-hearing, as evidenced by his use of ASL with the person sitting beside him. I don’t think I was aware at the time that T-Mobile offered data-only plans specifically for users who wanted the device exclusively for text messaging/chat apps, but…

I lived in a part of the US where T-Mobile - the only mobile service provider that offered the Sidekick here for most of the 00's - didn’t operate at the time, and I remember seeing a guy using one at a bus stop once circa 2007 and being very jealous. In a pre-smartphone world, a phone with a full keyboard and basic…

Liam Lynch about to drop a feature-length Precious Roy sketch on us.

Apple was the best...they were like two-bite apple pies.

Don’t forget that we’ve got a Secret Invasion show coming as well, which seems like a place where Hulkling could show up.

I don’t think Max Payne 2 ever got official widescreen support, so I’d guess that within 5 years of its release most gamers had hardware that it wouldn’t play nice with. Every time I’ve tried to go back to it I’ve found myself frustrated with the presentation and inability to get it working correctly with my current…

I want in on this. I’m going to start assigning arbitrary values to things that I own and sell shares in them. For example, this decorative gonk tea candle I have on my desk at work is worth...hmmm...$750. We arrived at this valuation through a complex, involved process that takes into account both market factors and…

We all love...da moviesh.
