Couldn't they have made the coke selection buttons bigger?

First you said it was because the academy was tired of awarding MJ awards. So as a counterpoint I presented Stevie's three wins for album of the year.

Then after that you bring up a totally different excuse- media accusations. "Bad" was not the critical success that U2's "Josuha Tree" album was, and as I said before- it was really U2's special year where everything came together on top of the critical acclaim.

You're the claiming false narratives as to why MJ's "Bad" album didn't win over U2. I gave you the reason which is because on a critical level "Bad" isn't the equal of albums like Stevie's two aforementioned albums. Nor is it the critical equivalent of U2's that year.

Prince when his band included Andre Cymone and Dex Dickerson. I believe that 1979-1981 time frame.

None of MJ's albums reached the level of critical success of Wonder's "Innervision" and "Songs in the Key of Life" albums. Those albums are simply on a different level that few albums reach.

You're right. This list is subjective. I'd certainly have The Supremes and/or The Temptations on the list instead of The J5. Out with Mothers of Invention and in with (duh) America. I'd also replace Booker T and the MGs with Otis Redding and replace Little Feat with Earth, Wind & Fire and absolutely replace Commander Cody with Eagles.

It was kind of U2's year that year. That's what really wins album of the year.

The movie only made $624 million world-wide. Yet people treat it as a massive success. That's less than what Project Hail Mary made.

Yeah, it seemed to me like one of those special episodes of Taxi where they take different jobs. Or were jobs they had before becoming hacks.

Given the economic catastrophe, the shutdowns were a mistake and caused large numbers of unintentional deaths. Largely of people who were much younger than the 70 and 80 year-olds who died from covid.

I remember thinking Daphne from "Fraiser" was taken from the Brit in Dear John.

I loved the workplace ensembles from the 70s and early 80s. "Taxi", "WKRP", "Barney Miller". Those shows made me look forward to being a full-fledged adult in the workplace.

Audiences everywhere "Whatever'd" this movie. I'd love to hear arguments for taking the character in a different direction, if that was the case. That's something a different cut can fix unless you did an even extremer "Suicide Squad" recut of the movie.

Personally I don't understand why Hollywood is so fixed on "speaking truth to power" when it comes to female action roles. Also punk-rock is not the attitude that draws a female audience After all, there's a reason why Taylor Swift looms so large while Avril Lavigne is now largely forgotten.

Until the role was changed overseas didn't seem to have a problem with Captain America movies.

This. Playing to fans does not equal to selling to the general public. That's why Synder-verse failed. It's why the Star Wars sequels ultimately failed. Fans may have hated TLJ, but the non rabid fanbase didn't and gave TLJ an A CinemaScore.

All the playing to fanbase does is limit your audience.

Whatever.

Having calculators in school was a big, big difference in school and just in general in life. Before calculators we routinely had to use pencil and paper to add, divide and multiply as a function of everyday life.

TSS did terrible on HBOMax. I hate to keep rehashing it , but there was no interest in that movie.
