it's not so important that Tron 2 bombed
From the summary Tron:Legacy grossed $400 million from $170 million - that's a success even by Hollywood "hide the profits to avoid royalty payments" maths. Walking away from a franchise where the last installment gave a greater than 100% return isn't sound fiscal sense, it's a straight-up chickenshit cop-out. This is why the Music and Movie industries need to die -- no risk takers too many assholes looking for a "sure thing" and will rehash the "sure things" right into the fucking ground till they have nothing left.
No. No, you can not. What sort of person are you to even consider something like that, much less ask such a thing out loud?
I don't think you should be here...
Well, both Microsoft and Linux are led by Finns, right? Maybe it's the Finns...
Charter is not. The vertical integration is thus not an issue here.
That's because it doesn't affect most people
It only doesn't effect those that don't give a shit about their rights. Which is most Americans that only care about their ability to buy an SUV and pay rent.
Besides, in relative terms it isn't too bad.
Sure -- enslavement by a cabal of Corporate and Government fascism beats death and imprisonment. But not by much.
The bars might be "invisible" but they are still there.
Memory fault - where am I?
