The deal isn’t as lucrative as you might think as everything from MGM pre-1986 was bought by Ted Turner and is now part of Warner/eventually HBO Max.  So it wouldn’t include Oz and the host of classic films MGM made before the 80s.  Granted, what’s left would still be better than nothing for Apple.

The anger at the movies is not understandable, but only because of the word “anger.” It’s a movie, get over it.

You’re correct, my bad. I’ll go with watery tart, then.

So all that’s left is for some watery bint to lob a scimitar at him, and the prophecy will be complete.

One thought I have heard and pretty much agree with is that RotJ didn’t need a sequel. RotJ very neated tied up the story of Anakin Skywalker and the Emperor. Yes, it left us with two living Skywalkers, but the continuation of their stories is not really a sequel to the story of Anakin and the Emperor. It is more like…

I think the first point here is flawed even though it’s acknowledged that the first trilogy had the upper hand. It’s faulty to say that ROTJ failed to tie up the enemies list because several decades later Abrams and company decided, unimaginatively, to resurrect them in the form of the First Order and later still…

This is the nuttiest article I’ve read in awhile. 

And that randomization can be calculated in different ways, based on an in-game timer, the system clock, a seed based on something the player inputted, or using some kind of ‘noise’ source, such as gauging the temperature of a component, reading from a ‘line in’ or microphone source, many things.

I get trying to preserve some of the pen-and-paper flavor of the Interplay games’ turn based system, but jeez was it ever clunky.

If you read this you’d understand that they still know the nut has the same number of calories but the amount absorbed by the body is different than previously thought.

Rogue One. 

The Rule of Two has been both dumb as fuck and constantly undercut from day one, so no huge loss there.

Rule of Two was bullshit from the start - see Asajj Ventress. Yeah, yeah, she’s technically not a Sith because it was just Dooku/Tyrannis and Palps, but that’s just semantic bullshit.

Yes, that’s the most glaring issue with this purported version. But I think there are other issues with Rise of Skywalker that this version doesn’t have that still make it an improvement.

I’d have loved to have seen the original version of Solo, and what Lord & Miller were striving for, before they got canned and Disney reshot it to be more “on-brand.”  I think it might’ve been a pretty good standalone entry.

The stuff they are adding (bloatware, advertisements on the menu, customer tracking) are reducing the cost, not adding to it. Netflix/Amazon/Disney etc are paying the TV manufacturers for pre-installing their apps and giving them custom buttons on the remote.

“and remember, there’s practically no 8K content to play on them”

I think there are 2 ways to purchase TVs that make sense (outside of an immediate need like “my TV broke”):

apple will probably delete the charging port before complying to any standard.

One, however, went out of its way to be “challenging” and “controversial”...at the expense of characterisation, narrative, and internal logic.
