No. You can’t put me in a theater for 3+ hours and not have an actual ending on your movie with no real resolution to anything. What was that.
I know film folks are upset about the whole Netflix + WB stuff, but it's costing $40 for only the tickets for me and the teen to see Avatar this evening. This is now a cost-prohibitive hobby unless you're one person or working all the matinees/$7 Tuesdays way in advance.

I’ve been deeply enjoying Plur1bus but I do feel like the finally needs a big time plot event payoff to make the journey so far worth it.

Can’t wait to one day get health care from a loot box.
WHY YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BETTING ON EVERYTHING
In today’s Wall Street Journal, I wrote about how an economy with fewer stable paths is pushing young people toward low probability, high payoff bets in search of upside - even though this is not what people actually want.

It sucks for this stuff. Just terrible for any kind of serious creative production in any reasonable way. I can't share my experiment thing yet from last week I mentioned, but I'll eventually post a thread.
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad

Netflix seems like a more logical owner for Warner Brothers to me than Time, AOL, AT&T, or Discovery Channel. I hope they want HBO for a quality injection rather than to water it down.
