That’s very true/fair. Although, I do have a few guilty pleasures on that list (Under Siege and Blankman).

Correct, they have to report earnings but they don’t have to report viewership numbers in the same way that a cable network does. Like you said, they make their money through subscriptions and that’s it. So as long as they can say “look we have X subscribers or Y new subscribers” investors are happy. Mainly, this is…

The writer who wrote that also wrote Pretty Woman, so I’d say Maher is the problem here.

Every time I think I can’t like Maher less he goes and proves me wrong.

He sees that if streamers like Netflix have to “show their work” aka their actual data of who is watching what and how much, it’s going to tank the company and his deal.

Every post you make shows more and more how little you know about labor movements and how Hollywood works as a whole.

Yeah I wonder if this was released prior to BG3 if the reviews would be different. Feels like a lot of the reviewers are somewhat exhausted by big open world RPGs (which is fine, I would be too!). But overall the reviews look good to me in terms of what I’m looking for.

My first thought was a distribution hub since stores most likely would not have them yet (or have just started to receive them this week/next week)

I don’t understand it either. People are purposefully misreading the headline, then not reading the actual quote, and then getting mad that the game has content? I think people just need to be mad about something trivial lol. Either way it’s not going to effect how I view the game so there’s that.

I finally caught the Mario movie on streaming and was shocked by how much my friends (who’s opinions I typically jive with) liked it. I didn’t even end up finishing it, which is something I rarely do.

I’m still aiming to finish Tears of the Kingdom before Starfield... and I got TotK on launch lol

Same. I bought a copy because I might want to pop in and out of it down the line and not want to have to pay for Game Pass when I do.

While Starfield is absolutely not a hidden indie gem, Game Pass members should also know that they can play Bethesda’s cosmic magnum opus on Series X/S and PC starting on September 1—that’s five days earlier than its scheduled September 6 release date.

Well, it’s in downtown LA so no one will go it it anyway.

Bingo. And it doesn’t help that comedies don’t translate to international success. 

Doesn’t help that a lot of the recent big comedies seem to have Melissa McCarthy, who becomes unfunny if she’s in a movie for more than 10 minutes.

Hmm should I use my wealth to buy gift cards for a charity? PS5s for a children’s hospital? Raise awareness for literally any sort of cause?

Most top level executives are this way. They are useless.
