Comment Re:It was literally two films hastily cobbled toge (Score 1) 192

What? Moana 2 and Inside out 2 combined for 3 billion dollars last year, and both of those have young girls as the target demographic. Now they are both sequels to existing IP, which is a problem mentioned throughout this thread but those types of kid movies can and absolutely are successful done well.

Comment Re:How was BrBa starting slow? (Score 2) 172

Breaking Bad isn't slow to start. I don't know what people want with a show about selling meth to stave off medical debt for your family, but it's got pretty much everything in spades. They literally start cooking in episode 1, kill people in episode 2 (1/2?), get introduced to his BIL DEA agent (hello foreshadowing), and he tells his wife by episode 3.

Better caul saul definitely has a slower start, which is to be expected when you learn it's the origin story of a fucking shadeball defense lawyer who started out in the mailroom. However that also falls by the wayside when you realize he gets kidnapped by Tuco in the first episode.

Comment Who the fuck is this guy? (Score 1) 172

Is this a new version of Bennett Haselton, where they aren't an expert, don't know what the fuck they're talking about, but paid ./ to let them post some drivel?

They do not appear to be an expert in pop culture, but they do have expertise in data science. So I guess that's a plus.

Comment The box is alive? (Score 1) 56

The box is not alive. This guy seems really weirdly attached to the phone booth. That withstanding, it seems there is both historical usage / precedent and ample good reason to retain it under the emergency guidelines listed in the story. So I imagine that BT will absolutely just blow it away and ignore any concerns.

Neilson locomotives missed out by virtue of being a train company that went defunct in the 1960s.

OTOH you could make an argument that Nelson Dairy is somehow missing out on the analyzing TV consumption data, but that should really be left to their parent company as they're more a brand now than a standalone company worried about marketing.
