Its already got a name, late stage capitalism

Because he wasn't white.

Anything is possibly true. So its not a great argument for allowing people to spread hysterical guesses to half the planet.

Whats more strange is understanding how a company with revenue of 400M and are apparently on track to double that this year can only be worth 1bn

You could buy out the company and make your money back in 18 months *shrugs*.

When did Nixon ever do that?

Of course. This is a larger problem but the swatter part is unique to this case.
Usually the police are shooting people because of mistaken reports of threats not imaginary (*insert laugh or cry*) :)

Its not the aiming of the officer that I think is subpar :)

Who were they protecting?

"When police arrived, they shot and killed 28-year-old Andrew Finch after he exited the residence and reached toward his waistband."

It sounds like from the reporting that they were defending themselves. Even if he had a gun, there was no hostages there.
This is why I ask why police can shoot at someone first when generally the military have to be fired at first.

Surely the police should try their own citizens with more caution than non citizens (not that this really should matter but no country can justify treating their own citizens worse than non citizens)

Imagine what the Republicans would do if Muller was investigating president Obama under the same circumstances?

2: This seems to be the big problem. The police could have done one of seemingly countless things to avoid this. Asking someone to come outside with a fucking megaphone while you are behind a bullet proof shield seems fairly reasonable with 2 seconds of thought. Why does the military have stricter rules of engagement with non citizens than the police do with citizens?? Its crazy.

3: Punishing someone doesn't stop it happening. Sure he should be punished but the events would still have happened.

They are both responsible for their own parts however there is one large difference: the swatter acted with malice. He intended harm.
  The officer was responding as part of his job, how he handled it is a separate part of this fucked up situation.

If you think the officer will go to jail over this you need to look at the seemingly constant stream of stories of police shootings of unarmed people being either not charged or acquitted.
I would bet 1000 dollars he wont be convicted of anything. Probably wont even get fired.

Its a good point because its like why TV shows in the past when there were 3 networks had huge ratings but not better objective quality.
The whole business model for movies and Netflix could not be more different, so the comparison is hard to make.
Even if Bright was the most watched content on Netflix, does that correlate to more subscriber retention? How could you even measure that.

Netflix is probably largely banking on the media coverage of this movie driving more people to join Netflix. Even if the movie is garbage its free advertising by critics (and us ;) ). I doubt one movie would make a useful percent of customers stay with the service, good or bad.

Years ago I used to go to the movies with a friend alot, often a couple of times a week for years. We would just turn up and see whatever was playing next.
From that experience I can say I became very much jaded about typical movies.
After watching so many movies where its almost the same story structure over and over it became hard to really enjoy most movies. You have seen almost the same movie countless times before. Anything that is visually different or told in another style or ANYTHING seemed much better.
Since then its made me think this is probably why critics and casual movie viewers don't have similar experiences.
If you eat donuts for a living you will critic aspects of a donut that a casual eater would never care about. Its not boring if you haven't seen the same story 100 times before.

Has its own soundtrack:

I go to your land down under
Where wind blows and then chunders
