Maybe—landlords in high-demand areas don’t have a great handle on whether there is consumer surplus they could be capturing because of the frictions in the market, though, and in lower-demand areas it can be difficult to find sufficient data to price effectively.

Yea, this happens in NYC as well, where landlords basically name their price and the race is on to either fill out the application within 24 hours or bid up the unit. This is just an example of people suddenly getting disgusted with the butcher when they realize how the sausage gets made.

1) insert yourself as a middleman between two entities that heretofore never needed you,

“Just because you can make money off the housing crisis, it doesn’t mean you should,” he said.

I don’t believe that’s accurate—it certainly isn’t typical for a licensing deal. As we saw with the leaked licensing agreement between Sony and Marvel regarding Spider Man, more typical is a set of pre-defined parameters (can only use these characters, cannot depict characters in certain ways, etc.), but absolute…

I love booze, but it’s a huge obstacle to fitness. Not only is it a ton of garbage calories, you’re also more likely to eat additional crap when you’ve been drinking (drunk munchies+impaired decisionmaking=taquitos seeming like a good idea), and to top it all off, waking up to hit the gym the next morning is way more…

Define “permission.” FX is owned by Fox, which is how they have the necessary rights for Legion in the first place.

I gave up alcohol for Lent this year to try to lose some weight I’ve slowly accumulated over the past 2-3 years. That, combined with more consistent exercise (which you’ll be shocked to learn is a lot easier to commit to when there’s no drinking involved) has led to ~8 pounds lost in 4 weeks.

Or he simply hadn’t been approached about it at that point, and filmed his cameo much more recently.

We’ve seen what it’s like to be a billionaire inventor and to be a Norse god. We’ve seen the very top of this world. But we’ve never seen what it’s like to be just a regular joe. 

Also, with the airborne ships they have, why is there ever a reason to use an AT-AT?

Thursday?

Sure, but another one was destroyed when the X-Wings (correctly) targeted one of its knee joints.

They’re obviously going to be strong enough to break through the cable this time.

This aged well

On that pedestal to her left (your right)?

No—Stark Tower was already there at the beginning of the film, and takes heavy damage during the Battle of New York. By Age of Ultron, it has been renovated into Avengers Tower.

I’m not sure why this just popped into my head while reading this, but I have a sudden urge to see Stallone headline a Lobo film.

Avengers Tower is fictionalized in the Avengers to be where the MetLife Building currently stands, right by Grand Central.

If you haven’t put it into the fridge overnight, does it really count as “leftovers?”
