One has to wonder if this alone might not spark a backlash of creatives against Netflix.

though, actually I was referring specifically to the original. Star Wars, which I saw in the theatre at time of its release.
George Lucas later edited much of the cantina scene and deleted other sections in the film, because he suddenly judged them to be un-PC and not in keeping with the times.

Don't get ahead of yourself!
#MBS is next, what with the #Saudi #WorldCup in 2030.

Actually, you raise an interesting point.
Someone should check the water table in Silicon Valley.
There might be a Love Canal thing going on there, only nobody has publicized it yet.
Perhaps @60minutes.bsky.social could tag along w. a camera crew on one of their investigative exposés. ... 🤔

Oh FFS, please, no.
Then again, I suppose it could be worse — the @nobelprize.org committee could always appoint Gianni Infantino as their new president. Just think of it! They could move the Nobel from Oslo to Lake Como.

What exactly do they mean by "the original theatrical version," though.
That's a pretty big question, especially given these woke/PC times.

At a cursory glance, seeing the headlines & video excerpts, one can't help but draw parallels with #Grenfell.
This is on a much bigger scale tho'.
Also, prhps it's just me, but #China is not exactly covering itself in glory in cracking down on protests.
There's a lot there to protest, it seems to me

It'll take forever for regulators to signify on this — and don't discount Trump's being said to favor the Paramount bid — buttes, you're right.

hey, it's not going to win any awards for #photography but that's not the point — I needed to see this in the moment, and it made me feel better. Bless. 🥂

Serious question:
Is it really true that FIFA is demanding $420 (or more) USD for tickets to games that might easily feature Uzbekistan-Surinam?
There's a story to be done there surely, on price-gouging.
