Someone should buy the brand and take on Amazon.

What was different in the 1970s that helped independent films thrive?

Most movies aren’t made for the big screen anymore anyway. The studios own the streaming channels, and that’s where the money is. Marvel movies are designed to stay in the theater for a few weeks, but the rest are destined for a shorter release window so they can go straight to streaming.

Bizarre. Looks like a bug even though it isn’t.

Most of it reminds me of that tacky clip art that got bundled with word processors and Corel Draw in the 90s. It’s just all got this “uncanny valley” sheen to it.

Thinking of Paul Newman’s salad dressings and spaghetti sauces. The company donates all their profits to charity.

I’m sure there are other companies/products like this. I’d love to know what they are.

Depends on the library. The bigger the library system, usually the more segmented the jobs are.

Some libraries have full time “shelvers” for example. Others rely on library assistants to perform multiple roles like shelving, customer service desk, and more.

There are also jobs like intake, where books are ordered, sorted, cataloged, and distributed to branches. But the selections for ordering are usually done by the actual librarians on staff.

There’s no winning in a merger that echoes Time-Warner-AOL.

I’m reminded of a boxing movie I saw once — The actress goes to a boxing match in her fancy gown and blood splatters on it when the guy in the ring gets socked in the face.

I would imagine dressing up like this at a boxing match has to do with haves/have nots. Basically, they’re rich enough to watch the poors beat the shit out of each other for their enjoyment.

It’s certainly not practical to wear your finest clothes just to get blood splattered on them.

😂

I’m sure it will happen right after Elon lands on Mars.

Zaslav’d!

A lot of people with back problems unable to get up from their chairs. I’m guessing it would become commonplace to see people rolling onto the floor.

The movies themselves are out of copyright, but I believe the characters themselves remain trademarks.

Because greed.

Ah yes, “Kung Fu Panda 4” — the smash hit by which all other movies are measured.

There are the probiotic sodas like Poppi that have sugar but not a lot. They are expensive though. What worked for me is carbonated water with a touch of flavoring. Either homemade with some fruit juice added, or store brand, or Lacroix.

I’m down with democratic capitalism as long as there are strong regulations and socialized services like medicine, fire, police, utilities, and roads. Does that make me a democratic socialist?

I also believe that everyone should pay their fucking taxes.

The USA has been on a downward slide after Reagan deregulated everything. There were a couple of tries at course correction afterward, but the current regime is going to dismantle everything as fast as they can.

Apple really needs to learn to design a decent looking camera bump. This ain’t it.

I wonder if this is related to making “chuffing” noises? Perhaps dogs can’t make this noise without shaking their head.
