You wanted it to be better than a Miata. That’s fair. I really, really wanted it to be better than a Miata too. I refuse to watch this video, because video pivoting websites suck and text articles are always better, but I’ll go ahead and tell you why you’re wrong.

I wonder if Zaslav got screwed by rising interest rates?  The original plan might well have been to just keep rolling over the debt indefinitely, and as long as you could borrow at 1% interest that might have even worked.  A very different ball game at 7.5%

All they’ll have to do is get a billion people to subscribe to Max for three years each; how hard can that be with the 90-Day-verse as their prime offering?

This is it exactly -- all about that debt.

No... both Tron and Bullitt are actually bad.

“You can’t tell me what to do!”

She’s corporate enough that she might be able to do what Eddie Vedder never could and help fund a meaningful competitor.

She can also get her fans to lean on Congress and demand meaningful anti-trust legislation. She’s influenced the outcome of elections before.

Dynamic pricing is stupid, always. It’s stupid when Uber did it, and it’s stupid now that Ticketmaster is doing it.

It’s 2022 and there are still people who think Born in the USA is a patriotic song

The Godfather wasn’t a trilogy. There was two great films and a handy convenient disc to chop out lines on. . . on which to chop out lines.

Twitter really needed to be burned to the ground, and honestly, I’m not totally surprised that Elon Musk buying it somehow not only became the catalyst for doing exactly that with such effeciency, nor that it would be so monumentally, gluttonously entertaining to witness.

The positives lasted only until season 1 was done.  Season 2 was messy messy messy and season 3 was pretty much fuck this nonsense. 

Westworld on its best day wasn’t on Deadwood’s level.

I always liked Westworld more in theory than execution, although the first season really did nail the positive side of puzzle-box storytelling. (But there’s always the negative side, which is that it’s nearly impossible to make the payoff live up to the buildup.) If you ever wanted a poster child for storytelling that…

I don’t read these quotes as Kevin Feige standing in the wings with a gun.

They read to me like a guy who understands the value of discipline and cutting what doesn’t work, not deluding himself that every bit that seemed fun at some point is worth including.

“Kill your darlings,” and all of that.

Without a doubt some of the best sustained on-track racing since the 2014 Bahrain GP’s “Duel in the Desert”. This was even better though, at one point it was about 5 cars within 1 second all vying for a podium.

Aw, no mention of Basil Poledouris’s legendary score for the film? It practically makes the movie. Conan’s prayer to Crom intercut with Thulsa Doom and his riders closing in as the sweeping music plays always gets to me.

That’s what I always say.  "Cancel" culture is just accountability culture.  Sorry if you're afraid of the consequences of your actions.  Maybe you should've taken different ones. 

Yet another problem that could’ve been solved by simply ending with the finale of the excellent first season.  This show was SO GOOD but was SO NOT DESIGNED TO GO FOR MULTIPLE SEASONS

Yeah, I’m not sure the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has earned Dolly Parton.
