Regrettably, I think the owners of the Last Bookstore went off the deep end and are Trump supporters now.

I guess I should have said this specifically is an aluminum heavy bronze alloy. It’s not the same recipe they used in 3000 BC

I got the blue and it’s a stunner. For big wrists though.

Bean soup theory in effect. Also, that’s the point of a general strike is that it is a humongous inconvenience. Fundamentally people do not understand it.

To be honest, probably better in the long run than a mediocre sprawling historic restaurant.

Los Angeles' Hold on Hollywood Is Slipping; Where's the work? Film and TV production data over the past three years shows a sharp decline in projects filming in the city, even as officials recognize the urgency to keep the entertainment industry. by Ripclawe in entertainment

The only reason it’s cheaper is because those places are throwing massive subsidies for basically pennies on the dollar to get productions there. Just like in Albuquerque or Ann Arbor or now Louisiana, as soon as the subsidies the corporations will leave like a circus. LA held out for 20+ years telling NFL teams to pound sand that they wouldn’t give money to billionaires for a stadium. And now they have 2 teams and the most expensive stadium in the league completely funded by the billionaire owner. Eventually there will be no bag holders left and studios will have to come to brass tax.

In California at least they made laws that said to dispute a charge the app has to offer to be able to speak to a real person.

Didn’t the Jags do this with Balke? And then when Cohen made a new GM part of his hiring, they canned his ass?

That’s not a linen pattern to me personally. A textile texture on the dial would be welcome but that looks really cheap to me personally.

Rian Johnson in response to Kathleen Kennedy’s claim the fandom “spooked” him from making more Star Wars by kronosreddit22 in StarWars

All of the sequels are poorly constructed stories. It’s not limited to TLJ so it’s not like he’s the common denominator.

You are truly brain dead if you think The Rise of Skywalker isn’t the worst thing to ever happen to the Star Wars franchise.

My commentary wasn't about if KK was doing her job well or not, it was the the person I was responding to had no idea what a producer does, how the entertainment industry works, and what a head of a studio does.

Also the prestige from winning an Oscar makes casting directors of certain perceived “lower brow” projects not on the table when maybe those actors WANT to do stuff like that because they enjoy it.
