ID4 R looks more and more like a derailing train.

 

The hype is dead AF, nobody seems to care.

 

People say OS could save it but I am not sure it s gonna do that good either, maybe in some territories.

 

Poor Roland ...

 

OS will not be that big of a help. It will do under Terminator 5 OS, IMO.

I expecting your actual grade to be lower.

Isn't ESPN profitable despite the rising cost of NFL? You wonder why they've never been able to air the Superbowl despite paying the most for the rights. 

 

Live sports have become more lucrative with the advent of streaming and DVRs hence why NBCUniversal paid big bucks for the Olympic and other sporting events likely have seen big increases in rights spend as well.

I honestly don't see you disliking it, it's not really going for anything all that high concept or thought provoking that you seem to think is pretentious from them. It's just a sweet movie.

The Super Bowl only airs on broadcast networks. Cable would seriously limit it's audience.

Reviews say it's pretty thought-provoking, which could prove troublesome for baumer as he has difficulty absorbing anything complex.

ESPN is owned by Disney which also owns ABC. ABC reaches a wider audience.

Well, it's certainly the biggest one. And it's a major part of the Walt Disney Company's profit.

I wouldn't call DORY thought-provoking.

RT's consensus disagrees with you.

It provoked me into thinking that it was a good movie.

I wouldn't necessarily use the words thought provoking either. Pixar in general more relies on making you feel than making you think.

It is kinda cute until you realize they're trying to spin an adult blockbuster runtime out of a straight up kid's film, and you just wish the damn thing would end already. 

 

I'd actually be good with longer Pixar films, except not the ones with talking cars.

But neither were Cars 1/2, Brave, Monsters U or A Bug's Life. And I'm pretty sure he disliked all of those, too.

Not really, but whatever floats your boat! Keep on pumping that well! It ain't dry yet.

its not really my opinion Disney stock lost a fifth of its value over the past year but if you want to keep supporting this corporation through the power of belief more power to you
