AFAIK Angelina Jolie is NOT “openly queer”; Ariana DeBose is. There may be a distinction as to whether or not the person openly uses the word “queer”; DeBose does, but other LGBTQ+ people may still shy away from it.

I don’t buy Hankerson’s story for one second; HE is the one responsible for the fact that NONE of Aaliyah’s music after her debut album (infamously produced by R. Kelly who illegally married her) is available on ANY digital music platform. Not only that, but his stranglehold on most Blackground Records releases…

Absolutely. The big issue dogging the anti-"big tech" jihad remains: How big is "too big"? It still sounds like a euphemism for "too successful", as in Amazon built such a better mousetrap that all the other mousetrap makers want DC to artificially restrain it.

What’s passive-aggressive? This stupid article.

Disney+ embarrassing? Not anywhere near as embarrassing as the company that now owns Gizmodo. (See the fall of Deadspin.)

Those UK discs are probably encoded in 1080i @ 50 fps, the usual format for HDTV in the UK; U.S. PS3's won’t handle that, but many standalone players will. (In some cases your HDTV may need 50 fps support, but usually the player will do framerate conversion if configured properly.) The U.S. edition will probably be…

True, but it’s 404 at the correct URL also. It’s still accessible via both Google Calendar & Samsung Calendar apps on my phone, however. Probably just a technical issue.

Nah, if you killed Barbara Broccoli after DAD we wouldn’t have had the Daniel Craig Bond films. OTOH, Cubby Broccoli wasn’t much of a factor after AVTAK; he did very little in the Timothy Dalton films and was on his deathbed when GoldenEye came out.

Absolutely. I’d like to know where they got “Smart Hulk” from; everything else I’ve read about this Hulk, all the way back to the toy spoilers months ago, calls him “Professor Hulk” just like the comics.

Saying “Vudu is currently an ad-supported platform” without qualifiers is misleading. Only “Free with Ads” movies on Vudu, which anyone can watch with free registration, are ad-supported (AVOD). Most of the films and TV shows on Vudu are “electronic sell-through” (EST) digital releases, offered as short-term rentals…

The bigger problem to me is so-called “advice” like this that relies on worst-case scenarios in Federal law to say “never use debit cards” instead of recognizing those scenarios rarely if ever apply. In the real world, credit card debt is often a far bigger threat than the potential that IF you don’t open (or…

Streaming is just an ephemeral download. It’s entirely possible that Apple uses a form of FairPlay DRM in its 4K streams to Apple TVs, in which case a pirate could copy the stream to a legit Apple TV (or hack an Apple TV and stream to it, or emulate an Apple TV and stream to the emulator), then crack the stream's DRM.

I am older than the demo you’re referring to. I agree with them because my life experience tells me your complaints are codewords for white supremacist, sexist, misogynistic BS. (Oh, and Brie Larson hasn’t said anything political — except as defined by white supremacist male chauvinist pigs conspiring on 4chan.)

Absolutely. There’s plenty of room for diversity while keeping the character British; just look at the new Doctor Who (her companions even more so than Jodie Whittaker). I can imagine non-WASP and even female Brits working for MI6, but never someone who's not of British nationality. (With all due respect to George…

So I assume she didn't fall into a Blockbuster Video? :D

Pink Diamond stayed shape-shifted as Rose Quartz for thousands of years.

Except one part of the speech was NOT ripped to shreds -- the Diamonds’ attack, because Garnet was there. White Diamond can’t be a fusion, not only because Yellow’s & Blue’s hands were alongside her own, but also because they were attacking Rose after “shattering” Pink.

How do you score a film on Instagram? I guess you could write it on sheet music paper and take pictures of it...

You sound like a Tom Cotton troll. He is an embarrassment to my state of Arkansas, trying to choke ZTE & Huawei based on dubious, unproven claims of Chinese government backdoors as well as sanctions of questionable legality. (What business does Washington have telling a Chinese company which foreign customers it can…

Misspelling Lauryn Hill’s first name is one thing. Getting Alanis Morissette’s first name completely wrong is another.
