I think the McCallisters were always intended to be upper-upper-middle-class, but we as a society were much less class conscious in 1990, so this element of the story received almost no attention at the time.

“If a company has a gigantic content library, they’ll make it all available on streaming at a reasonable price!”

I’m guessing Zaslav is enthusiastic for the merger because there’s something included in the agreement where he gets a few million for...something.

If I pretend to like Susie, Cathy will get jealous and ask me out. #business

Bank: Do you have any capital? How are your profits?

My first thought after hearing about this proposed merger (after “oh shit, he’s gonna bin Lower Decks for a tax writeoff”) was, “Wow, that’s gonna be a lot of debt!”

Eh...maybe.

The venn diagram of Fortnite players and Zack Snyder fans has to be as close to a perfect circle as you can get.

The sad part is jail likely won’t stop him. He will get right behind the wheel drunk. License or no license.

If convicted, this would be at least Scott C. Farmer’s fifth drunk driving offense

We take driving while intoxicated far too leniently all over, this is bad, but too many places still see driving drunk as no more than a social faux pas at worst. We need to start taking it a lot more seriously.

The problem is that Tesla doesn’t even have a policy for dealing with this situation, told everyone the stalking didn’t happen, and lied about having access to the data.

This is a lot less about Tesla, and a lot more about getting courts familiar with technology that abusive partners use to their advantage. I doubt that you’ll see anything in tech to help change here - tech isn’t big on loopholes that could be exploited by other evil people. I assume it’s more likely that specifics in…

This. McGowan isn’t a “me too”. She’s a “me only”. She attacks anyone and everyone that doesn’t defend her personally.

Don’t forget the constant “these properties take place in the same universe” theories. Usually because they’re by the same creators and those creators include easter eggs alluding to their other work. Instead of just treating it as a fun thing, it has to be some grand connection that will never come to fruition.

Disney needs to give John Boyega a call. They owe him that much

Eh, they still waited for the convictions before pulling this trigger. I suspect it also makes it easier because there aren’t any of the upcoming features he’s filmed yet. So they have the ability to recast (especially given how Loki established that different variants can have different appearances) without it…

No. Being an abusive scumbag ended his career. He doesn’t need an apologist; he needs to take responsibility for himself. Your response seems like a bit of a red flag though...

Because the actor can be what sells the character in movies. Recasting certain characters just won’t work, or at least wouldn’t go over well with audiences. With Kang I think they could, but you couldn’t recast Tony or Steve. It’s trickier ground when it comes to live action. It depends how big the character is and…

Or, y’know, just do fun movies that are largely self-contained and not designed to set up a multipart crossover epic.
