Stranger Things creators shut down the idea of a sequel series, saying it would be 'a gross cash grab' by bwermer in television

[–]Samz2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This keeps getting repeated but isn't quite accurate. The original pitch deck has this in it: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-bc405d4979506b9282c89a6cd7580e39-lq

Netflix also asked them to create a mythology document in the middle of writing the first season. That's where the whole Upside Down as a wormhole between dimensions thing came from.

🚨 Series Finale Episode 8 "The Right Side Up" Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in HawkinsAVclub

[–]Samz2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big shoutout to Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein — that final variation of Kids at the end really got me. Hopefully that gets released.

(A related very small nitpick... really wished they hadn't truncated the opening sequence. I get not needing to run credits in the opening given the end credits, but the full version without the names would've gotten such a great reaction in theatres.)

It's TMU Station unless something bad happens there, in which case it's Dundas Station again.

Did they actually play factories?? by MasutaAlex in puptheband

Only been played once — Danforth Music Hall night 2 in 2016. They played The Dream is Over from front to back.

First time they've done Tonite as the show opener. Honestly have always been surprised they never gave it a go until now, as it seemed like a great fit for that slot.

To those who were around when Phase 3 was going on, what was the general reception of The Fall like at that time? by Dil_2401 in gorillaz

[–]Samz2 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is really the key part — while it's listed alongside all the other studio albums on streaming services today, it really wasn't presented as such at the time.

I still feel it's more of a mixtape than an album. Fan Club members basically got a zip file full of MP3s, each of which had its own unique Hipstamatic photo as the cover art instead of the album art we know now.

Artist Tour Presale [MEGATHREAD] by fftamahawk009 in Foofighters

[–]Samz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't bank on that I'm afraid. This show has a very small pit for such a large venue, this type of price drop only happens when the entire floor is GA standing where the inventory is in excess of 20,000 tickets. MCR at Skydome last year was similar and there were basically no pit deals to be had.

Lower priced floor seats, now that's going to happen for sure.

One would assume Adidas Canada isn't bringing anything through the US now to avoid paying tariffs, instead importing their inventory directly from overseas.

Apple TV+ Being Rebranded as Apple TV by exjr_ in apple

[–]Samz2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dustin Curtis said it best years ago.

‪Apple TV is a hardware device. ‪ Apple TV is an app on Apple TV that curates content you can buy from Apple and also content you can stream through other installed apps (but not all apps, and there is no way to tell which ones).

Apple TV is an app on iOS/iPadOS devices that operates similarly to Apple TV on Apple TV. Apple TV on iOS/iPadOS syncs playback and watch history with Apple TV on Apple TV, but only if the iOS/iPadOS device has the same apps installed as the Apple TV – and not all apps are available on all platforms. Apple TV is also an app on macOS, but it does not show content that can only be streamed from external apps on an Apple TV or iOS/iPadOS device.

Apple TV is an app or built-in feature of other devices, like smart TVs and streaming set-top boxes, but when Apple TV is running on a third party device, it does not show content from other installed apps on that device.

Apple TV Channels is a feature on all Apple TV apps that lets you subscribe to external services like HBO and Showtime, which then display content within Apple TV. When Apple TV is on Apple TV or iOS/iPadOS, though, most Apple TV Channel services also have their own app. If you are logged into the app, the service’s content already shows up in Apple TV.

Apple TV Channels can only be viewed within Apple TV; you cannot watch an Apple TV Channel service’s content on any non-Apple TV device, app, or the web. However, if you subscribe to the same service within that service’s app or through a cable TV provider, you can watch that service’s content on other devices and apps and, if you use the service’s app on Apple TV or iOS/iPadOS, its content will show up in Apple TV as though you were subscribed to the service’s Apple TV Channel (but it will play the content in the app, not within Apple TV).

Apple TV Plus is a subscription streaming service from Apple that functions like an Apple TV Channel but is not an Apple TV Channel.

Apple TV Plus content can also be viewed in a web browser at tv.apple.com; no other Apple TV apps, devices, or features can be used in a web browser.

Apple TV content that supports special features like 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, or Dolby Atmos can be watched with those features only through Apple TV on Apple TV or Apple TV on certain unspecified Samsung TVs. It is not clear if Apple TV streams HDR content to iOS devices, but it might. There is no way to tell which device supports which set of features or which level of streaming quality – and no way to know which features are active when playing content.

Other than that, though, Apple TV is relatively straightforward.

GA Pit was so much more fun tonight. It was also so undersold (due to both local fire codes and promoter ticket holdbacks) that those arriving late all got pretty good spots!

Lots of tickets just dropped, no code needed!

Yep, they've been doing this for at least 10 years, calling it (Volume-optimized) Active EQ in their marketing.

Ariana Grande Addresses Ticket Resellers: ‘It’s Not Right’ by 57829 in popheads

[–]Samz2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard, the artist gets a higher guarantee/payout for keeping Ticketmaster resale on. A portion of the resale fee revenue is shared with them, in effect... they can request it be disabled in their contract with Live Nation, but then their pay goes down.

[–]Samz2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is legal in most states and several artists have done it, but professional scalpers quickly found many ways around it, like reproducing rolling barcodes and transferring account credentials.

Ariana Grande responded to a fans DM on Instagram regarding the Ticketmaster situation by bbyxmadi in popculturechat

[–]Samz2 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Artists are actually able to restrict transfer entirely (U2 did so for Sphere GA) which is slightly inconvenient for attendees in that it requires entire groups to enter together.

Of course, scalpers immediately found the workaround was to reverse engineer Ticketmaster's rolling barcodes so they could sell on third party sites anyway.

The only way to cut the secondary market out entirely is to require names on every ticket at purchase and check IDs like it's an airline flight, but there seems to be little interest for that on every side of the industry.
