I'd never hears of this but found a link to Megaplex Manager, which describes itself as "a mix between Box Office prediction and cinema tycoon". Not sure how updated it is, though the copyright date on the page is current.

 

Hm! I don't think that is quite it but I'm surprised at how robust it is and will give it a try, thank you!

I saw "Michigan Manifesto" trending earlier today and thought it was related to politics somehow. Didn't initially connect it to the Harbaugh saga lol...

Sigh. It's that time again.

 

Live updates: At least 18 killed in shootings in Lewiston, Maine; Manhunt underway for a person of interest (nbcnews.com)

My brother wants to see a movie on Thanksgiving Day... I wonder what it should be

I'm leaning toward Wish or Killers of the Flower Moon. The runtime of Killers of the Flower moon is three and a half hours though and I don't know if it will be in theaters still...

Oh that seriously sucks. Way too young to go.

 

He had the funniest parts in Friends and also was great in The Whole Nine Yards and The West Wing.

This is such a surreal thing to read. Way too young, what the hell 

[excel1]

Sucks, but tbh, he looked like complete shit during the reunion tour and his book tour last year wasn't much better. He did some major damage to his body though substance abuse. Seems like he may have had a serious medical episode while alone in a Jacuzzi. Tragic.

[Avatree]

Damn. RIP. I know he struggled with addiction, as an addict I feel his pain and hope he was at some sort of peace before he died.

 

Thank you for being the only redeeming feature of Friends

[filmlover]

So sad, he had been through so much. RIP.

Speaking of old sitcoms, I just found out that there is a Ultra HD Widescreen Reboot of Frasier that came out about a month ago.

Absolutely fucking surreal news to wake up to.

[Torontofan]

Anyone sort of find the internet has changed the past year or two.

 

We went from a wild wild west phase till the mid 2010s then a lot of moderation then the internet got a bit over moderated in 2020 or so.

 

Now i go on IG, Twitter and Reddit and its like wild.

Ig comments are full of openly racist content and seems never gets taken down.  While before saying something about covid got you banned lol

It was Matt Damon in the crypto ads, Ben Affleck did commercials for sports betting (another sketchy, overly advertised industry due for a major reckoning).

If sports bet dont affect the actual games, what is the issue with sports betting.

 

It takes place illegally all over the place, now its in the open and govt can tax and get money now.

Meh, it obviously affects the game, there has been many scandals in soccer lately about it, but I suppose that could have been a problem when it was illegal as well. It's just, it's so much easier to do it when it is legal though.

 

But the worst part? It's freaking everywhere, over here you can't turn on a soccer game without getting bombarded with ads telling you to  bet everywhere and it has actually hijacked some of the sports programs where they literally stop to talk to you about the odds, I find that so incredibly sketchy.

 

Honestly? I'm fine with betting being legal, the tax money is nice as you said, but I wish it would have the same ad restrictions as smoking. The constant ads is normalizing betting so fast here, it's crazy.
