After reading Disney’s demands for Jedi, I finally understand @That One Guy fuck Disney stance.

What is this?

They want 65% of Jedi profits from theater compared to the normal 55%-60% and it has to be in the largest auditorium for four weeks. If not, Disney raises the price to 70% of the profits.

 

Note: Although SW movies have always gotten 64% of the profit but the fact that Disney forces them to keep it in the largest auditorium for four weeks is kind of unfair.

Couple of tips on Barry Lyndon for whenever you sit down to watch it:

 

1. The intermission is there for a reason. Use it.

 

2. If anything at any point strikes you as funny, don't resist laughing. Nothing wrong with you or the movie, no matter how stately it might seem on the surface

 

Barry Lyndon was definitely a film I appreciated more than I liked. It's incredibly well crafted, but it can be a bit impermeable.

nah, NBA has stunk for a very long time now.  It's a shame since at one point, it was my favorite sport and arguably helped to save my life.  But sadly, it's pretty much unwatchable.  Although I do check out the Sixers once in a while now that there is reason to watch  

 

but college basketball has always been great and still is for the most part

I wonder.

pitching change already.  wow

Watched John Carpenter's Halloween for the first time today. I really dug it. Who knew you could make such an effective horror film without having to rely on gore or violence to be intense? 

 

But seriously, I can see myself watching that film every October.

Like most Kubricks it becomes richer and more rewarding when you go back to it. My reaction on first viewing was similar to yours, now it might be my favorite of his.

This was probably my experience with 2001.

I'm not happy until it's over and we've won. I've seen this kind of comeback before. It didn't scare me then.

 

It does NOW

That one still frustrates me somewhat, although I do like it a lot more now than I did before.

I already cracked a joke about the Dodgers coming back and tying it by the bottom of the 7th, so...
