Except Europe could give a crap what Ford wants. American automakers just want to build overpriced oversized gas guzzling pickups. It is no wonder they have problems selling in any market but America.

You can do what you want. Don't be surprised if others don't join you though. I personally enjoy watching movies on my home theater, and could care less about the movie theater experience that you enjoy.

It's so great not to hear others talking, or cellphones going off, or people scrolling on their phones, or sticky floors, etc. Also, each movie is much, much cheaper, as are snacks and drinks :)

Movie Industry was killing itself by doing nothing but making nothing but Sequels, Comic Book Movies, Relaunches, Reimaginings, etc.
The streamers are mostly just killing the Movie theater industry, and that industry has had a hand in killing itself.

Good luck with your electricity and water bills. They really need to come up with a megatax for data centers if for no other reason than they don't drive up costs for the rate payers.

There's a huge difference between having to pay money to license a movie, and already owning it.
I'm sure they will either carry it in their catalog, or lease it out to make money on it. Somehow I seriously doubt with $100 Billion of debt or whatever to service, they'll let it collect dust.

When you and I were in our 20s in the mid 80s, this would be the same as people talking about the mid 40s.

I think the number of people who don't care about that is growing daily

This is probably better for me personally. However I suspect it means A-List Actors won't shoot for Warner Brothers any more. It's bad news for theaters, but I think it is another thing that prices have risen faster than paychecks, so it is dying out due to people willing to wait for streaming.

I guess others felt the same thing that I felt. That a women in the media who would whore herself out for a story isn't all that interesting.

What were they saying last term? $2 million per pardon? I totally believe he is making big bank from his pardons.

Europe really needs to nut up, and replace the US for their own sake.

I'm fine with that, but instead of a regular checkerboard, we have a computer randomly change the size so every box has exactly the same number of people. Surely someone can do a neutral algorithm that can equally apportion a state into districts with the exact same number based on some random seed

Almost a quarter century of being a train wreck without killing herself. In some ways that is fairly impressive.

I heard that when they did Wings over America. It's tough for me to believe it was s bigger hit than Band on the Run. It must have been the biggest hit in the UK only, because it really never was a big hit in the US.

Yep, although it's tough to see watt the power lines look like. I'd assume those are High or ultrahigh DC voltage lines across the Med. You'd lose way too much power with AC and field losses across the Med.

If there are energy bottlenecks, it's likely due more to growth of demand, not a change in energy supply.
Honestly, a lot of the transmission of the grid probably should be upgraded to higher voltages, and in some cases transitioned over to HVDC or even UHVDC transmission lines.

The guy makes one award winning money maker after another. Sure, I'll listen to some ignorant shit brain on Bluesky instead of what my lying eyes tell me. 🙄🙄🙄 Unless Dano's character is getting curbstomped, I don't need to see him in a movie.

So freaking terrible. Sad to see that even back then they had no original ideas and wanted to necro old popular films.

When I see Trump and clean energy I'm reminded of Kodak who invented the Digital camera, and then decided to bury the invention so it wouldn't compete with their film business. Of course, that genius decision pushed them into bankruptcy years later. Giving away industries to China is nuts.

There are already around 1500 derailments a year. The people who scream for deregulations clearly want more.
