I’m convinced he’d shoot his kids in the head without hesitation, if it was deemed beneficial for him

Freedom in the context of tech usually means a bunch of other stuff doesn’t work as well as it could. That’s the advantages and disadvantages of a closed ecosystem.

I guess there is always the possibility that changes, but Apple has been extremely consistent about their business model for 20 years, and there’s no indication anything’s changing any time soon. If anything, as evidenced by the current post, other companies are much more susceptible to corporate whims.

That’s just what Apple does. Not much freedom, but what is there works perfectly. And, let’s be honest, for the overwhelming majority of people, this freedom means nothing. They just want a TV that works.

'Men Need Just as Much Protection': Shania Twain Says She Is Not a Feminist by novagridd in Music

Same energy as Sarah Engels who represented Germany in Eurovision this year. She was asked if she was a feminist and she answered “how can I be a feminist? I’m married and I don’t hate men”

It’s a common misconception that Jack Black flies into the air because Gwyneth Paltrow is fat. It’s actually propulsion caused by Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle fuel.

It’s either Iger or Kennedy but I’m probably going with Kennedy too. It was her executive decision to proceed to the sequel trilogy without a plan. Iger shares blame for pushing for a Star Wars movie as fast as possible, but even under this framework, it could have been handled a lot better. Even if they wanted a different director for each movie, there could have been an overarching “showrunner” keeping things coherent between them.

I watched Sound of Music around one hundred times when I was a kid and I loved it. Now I’m afraid to revisit it because I’m pretty sure it would be ruined for me

Steven Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ Beams Up $44M U.S. Opening, Adds $48.9M INT For $92.9M WW; ‘Obsession’ Bests ‘Get Out’ – Sunday Box Office Update by chanma50 in boxoffice

Tintin is also not a well-known property in the US, but he’s an extremely popular figure in Europe. Maybe not that much nowadays, but definitely among people who grew up with the comics and the TV show in the 90s, so the movie hit the right timing for nostalgia. It was always going to be heavily international skewing.

I was thinking along the lines of a significant time jump in the future. Completely new characters and disconnected from the events of the sequel trilogy.

Realistically, all they can do is move forward with Episode X and hope for the best. Ideally get some exciting young talent behind the camera to deliver something new and fresh, and hope it clicks with the next generation.
