In one of the early editions of the collected graphic novel, there was a panel in which the main character, a boy in grade school, is supposedly wowing the teachers with his incredible knowledge, and the thing he tells them that blows them away is the quadratic formula.

I haven’t, no (I don’t think I’ve read any musician’s memoirs).

Yes, I can imagine that enough money would do it. What I can’t figure out is how Paramount+ expects that it’d be worth all that money to get 200 episodes’ worth of music video licensing rights. Are old Beavis and Butt-head episodes that much of a draw to their streaming service?

Mystery Science Theater 3000 had to stop airing a bunch of episodes, including the Godzilla ones, because Toho reasserted their copyrights. The Drew Carey Show is unavailable to buy, except for the first season, because of music copyright issues. People tell me that the same’s true of most of the run of The Practice…

220,000 out of 220 million is 0.1%, not 0.001%.

Sure, if you needed a component like a capacitor you’d go to Anchor Electronics, but for most other stuff, like, say, an external hard drive, you’d make a lunch run to Fry’s and buy one and…

You notice how “Joaquin Phoenix thing” got shoved to the front of the quote? Well, despite the Kinja interface seemingly giving the user the option to link to other pages (that’s what the little chain link icon used to be for), you can’t! Yeah, at some point that functionality disappeared and Gawker Media, or whoever…

What do you call that?

Yeah ... I get that the show’s a throwback to more less realistic 80's fare, but I can’t suspend my disbelief that much. 

I’m with you. That moment in Iron Fist where the actor playing Danny Rand attempts a taiji form was when I stopped watching. I mean, I wasn’t expecting to see something at the level of the actual masters of Chen taiji, but it wasn’t even a half-decent mimicry.
