This is entirely about an evolving media space where content and pipes (broadband connections) will hold the power. The more must have content you have the greater your power vis-a-vis consumers and the pipes.

Movie was okay, really waiting for Scott to actually deliver the big ideas, while incorporating the horror aspect as a cohesive vehicle. I did think it was interesting that

You really need to factor in currency moves/or compare local currency changes if you want to try and extrapolate. While the numbers still aren't good, you have a 13% depreciation of the EUR, 26% depreciation of the Peso, a 35% depreciation of the Real and 17% depreciation of the Pound since Prometheus was released. So Europe is still down, Mexico is up a little, Brazil is down some, etc.

I this trailer was the straw that pushed me from cautiously optimistic to on board.

That's some talent, writing a hit song 5 years before birth.

He got 2B in cash 2B in stock (now worth about 2.7B). It was pretty clear when he sold it he was more concerned with the hands it was going into than the price.

Re: Kylo Looking weak in the fight at the end. They spent like 3 different scenes setting up how powerful Chewie's bowcaster was, they showed the blood in the snow twice, and he kept hitting the injury. Not sure what else they needed to do to stress it being a major hampering injury. Its also pretty clear his emotions are all over the place after killing Han and not suddenly becoming more powerful. A pretty good job is done of setting up how emotionally unstable he is, and controlling the force is all about harnessing your emotion. vs. Finn I thought it was pretty clear we was just toying with him until Finn managed to score a hit, at which point he quickly ended it. Also confirm this is the case from a friend who read the novelization that makes the toying with him aspect explicit. vs. Rey He is trying to turn/recruit her at the start (also confirmed from the novel), and then she goes all Neo on him after allowing the force to flow. She clearly has fighting skills prior to this, also it seems like she was at the new jedi academy when the slaughter took place. So even if she isn't Luke's daughter she still may have had some training that was lost to her like those early memories either due to a mental barrier from the force or some sort of self inflicted forgetting in response to the traumatic event.
