  1. Spoiler

    This show is for kids? I know when they announced a Star Wars cartoon for Disney channel, I wasn't expecting it to be for children. Stupid Disney not making everything for exactly me.

     

    That aside, Just Poe being like stone cold about a dude being thrown off that platform (to their death??), man. Animation is interesting, will take some getting used to, but all in all hard to judge any quality off a 1 minute teaser.

     

    Also, a fat Rodian.

    From the article:

     

    Despite press releases touting MoviePass’ subscriber growth, the suit contends its business model was unsustainable and that it was inevitable that the parent company Helios would “run out of cash” or lose so much money as to raise questions about whether it could remain a viable business.

     

    “MoviePass’ business model was not sustainable because there was no reasonable basis to believe MoviePass could monetize the model to a degree that could be maintained before being too buried in debt to survive,” wrote attorney Mark Levine on behalf of Braxton. (Read the full suit here.)

     

    Uhhh... yeah.  And any shareholder that did any amount of due diligence would have figured that out BEFORE investing.

    You know, someone made a nice penny on buying these stocks a year ago, and selling them a few months ago. I regret I did not.

    No.

    Heh...ok. well of course I can only speak from personal experience, but it's people with attitudes like yours that make me not really anything more than toe dipper. And that's with one of my favorite shows ever being Anime. (Baccano! the fucking best)

     

    And the fact you just categorically dismiss my comment only furthers my belief that it's people like you that makes anime unpalatable to a wider audience.

    Like I honestly don’t care what people are into as long as it’s not causing harm to others (child porn, racist propaganda, actual immoral stuff like that).  I have a few friends that watch anime, I watched a few episodes of it, wasn’t my thing, I moved on (I like some of Miyazaki’s stuff and I like Nintendo games, but none of those are anime).

     

    I may inwardly think somebody has poor taste if they like something I don’t, but I’m not going to post an article trying to blast the character of pretty much everybody in the US (and Western Europe at that given American TV is popular there too) because they watch a mainstream genre of entertainment.  

     

    That’s what riled me up about the thread

    I get you. As someone whose only danced on the fringes of anime, liking what I like, just moving on from what I don't like, it's some of the hardcore "enthusiasts" that just make Anime look bad to me. It's that weird my niche thing is way better than that mainstream thing that makes most fandoms suck.

     

    That and as a casual fan of most things, seeing hardcore fans fighting about pointless things instead of just enjoying something they love. Also shitting on casual fans. Do that a lot too.

    this whole situation is so weird

    Disney [Now]: We've hired Gunn as a consultant for our Marvel-Cosmic stuff.

    Disney [Next Week]: We've hired Gunn to direct a Marvel Movie

    Disney [In two weeks]: We've hired Gunn to direct an untitled Marvel-Cosmic Movie.

    Disney [In a month]: We've hired Gunn to direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

    Pretty much it’s a “Favorite movie over x DOM/WW” award.  I’d reckon it’ll be a 150m cut-off (potentially even 100m)

     

    Other years would have looked something like this

     

    2017

    1. Get Out

    2. Dunkirk

    3. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    4. Logan

    5. Wonder Woman

     

    2016

    1. La La Land

    2. Hidden Figures

    3. Zootopia

    4. Deadpool

    5. Rogue One

     

    2015

    1. Mad Max: Fury Road

    2. The Martian

    3. Star Wars: The Force Awakens

    4. Inside Out

    5. Straight Outta Compton

    So, it's the "let the commoners have there award. So we don't have to sully the real best pictures with their filth."

     

    Great decision!
