Because dead people earn no money, and the people in his will most likely haven't drugged and raped a child. Even choosing to watch it on TV can be argued that you're endorsing the money the TV company paid so would be indirectly supporting him. It's maybe an extreme argument (in that any earnings from a single person…

What is a proportionate sentence for drugging and raping a child? The disproportionate sentence was the plea bargain the judge threw out which is when he decided that maybe facing justice wasn't the best idea. Do you seriously think that 90 days is appropriate for sodomising a semi-conscious child? Just asking…

Isn't this a remake?

The change seems to be more of a willingness to challenge his spokespeople/statements directly. A lot of outlets, worried about being called biased tended to let people (from all parties) say what they wanted without fact checking and let their political opponents do the job of challenging them. I think they've…

Which is proof that hot air rises…

A CNN anchor shut down a Trump aide who started calling a story fake news. It was fun to watch

If you look up "Barnes Wallis dog", it seems to have been the name of the real dog. Apparently it was not an uncommon name for black dogs in that era

Should know better than to think of Tarantino as inventive…

At least with Metacritic though you've got a clear sense of where the reviews rank so you can chose to pick a strong one, a weak one, and a few in between fairly quickly

Not sure what bothered me more, the Fades only getting one season (but at least was left in a solid place), or In The Flesh only getting two and stopping in a really horrible place…

I was trying to explain to why the score was where it was, should maybe have put "some minor issues" though. It's dragged down by a middling Time Out review

That feels about right - I thought the book did a terrific job of humanising the events, whilst leaving certain things ambiguous (the bakery owner could be thought of as a less capable Schindler, or as someone in awe of celebrity for example), but it's easy for me to do that as none of the events have any implications…

I remember "Right At Your Door" and the ending of that was far more chilling and horrific than any number of cheap jump-scares. Definitely keen to give this one a watch

I prefer to use Metacritic where it's at 82% (Mostly very positive, some issues), which seems to better reflect the critics. Definitely in the want to watch territory though

Thanks for the Igort rec - I read a book* about the Kiev WW2 football team and the mass starvation is briefly mentioned there as something that meant the Ukrainians were far from loyal to the regime, so it'd be nice to read some more about that

" In your model, if the publisher/record label/studio fails on their end,
the artist gets a tiny fraction of the pay, and may even end up owing
money"
Nope. If the producer doesn't meet their contractually agreed payment, they don't get to use the artwork. and advances aren't exactly poverty pay to begin with (even if…

That 12c will be comprised of fractions of a cent across a number of purchases. It's pretty much invisible, even when buying a CD/DVD. I'm happier with that tiny bit of money going from me to an artist, than I am with the remaining however many dollars going to the retailer, distributor, producer…

Depends if you're Noddy Holder - he is still making a living off a novelty Christmas record if I recall correctly! Pretty sure all sizes of his cheques matter as they all combine in to something quite nice for him
