WB lost like $3 or $4 billion in the period leading up to the merger, and had multiple really bad earnings reports before that too.

I saw a bunch of pigeons ripping some apart the other day, and I’ve seen various wasps and things fighting with them here in Philly. 

Might be the spread?

And I might have read it that way to one extent or other as well. Were it not for uncritical Arthur forwarded stalking plot and that end piece. Even if we assume it’s meant to be delusion. Ending it with his success and all those people lifting him up on their shoulders (literally). Lends and emotional validation to…

I don’t see how a vapid retread of much better films from 40 years ago counts as non-cookie cutter.

Joker goes a lot further than retread of King of Comedy. It isn’t just unoriginal and it’s borrowings are so direct and flat it’s hard to buy the homage take.

You don’t need to go with The Whiskey Advocate. This stuff is controlled by the TTB. Standards of Identity are published to plain English.

The standards of identity have no minimum age in the US. Straight Whiskey standards require 2 years. 

market your legally produced distillate as Moonshine

Impeachment is a political process. Not a legal one. Without 2/3rds majority in favor of conviction in the Senate. It don’t happen.

I was under the impression it had already been confirmed.

But there’s still that question there. If scale was the issue. Spend a little more and put it in theaters. It’s not like they haven’t spent 10 years denying they spent an extra $$160 mill on unscheduled reshoots.

Of of course it’s a tax write off. It’s a loss.

I think you’re far too invested in “fans are important” narratives.

The other thing you’ll notice is very few of them are in the same budget category.

Yeah I think that puts the hole in the “it’s just new guys doing it out of spite take”. If they reasonably though this thing would break even. They wouldn’t eat the $100m they’ve already spent. Hell they’d be obligated to release it, cause that whole preserving shareholder value thing.

For the most part. IIRC it also tends to be impacted by how that casing is stuffed. Some natural casing stick pepperonis won’t cup. But most will.

Namor is not a hero or protector. He’s sometimes an anti-hero. More often an antagonist.

I think all the Maya living down in Mexico today would be pretty surprised to hear that they vanished. The multiple, historical, large scale Mayan polities in central America sunset by the time of the Aztec Triple Alliance.

There aren’t any really. Aside from Atlantis being from Greek literature.

Mayans apparently? That seems to be the usually reported thing. Different Ethno-linguistic block than the Aztecs. And the Aztecs were sorta 1 specific polity for one chunk of time. The Maya were a much broader, wide group of people and places.

To the extent that the either or matters there are still lots of Maya…
