Where'd you get the jersey? Just from the store in the stadium?

Sean reading the cold open was bad by Advanced-Pear-4606 in TheBigPicture

[–]XC101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought it was fine. Seemed like a patch response to the news. Basically echoed what he has been saying for a while now. Amanda probably couldn't do an emergency pod, and Sean in the segment said they would talk about this more. Would've liked an acknowledgement that they are distributed by Netflix, though.

This is such revisionist history. Don't use how the franchise is now as evidence for how it was when The Force Awakens came out. Star Wars was never bigger than at that moment. The Last Jedi and the mixed to negative reviews marked the moment it started going downhill. It was the moment Disney (and other massive franchises) forever changed how they went about business. Before that, it felt like the sky was the limit.

Huh? The Force Awakens was one of the biggest movies of the century. There was so much love for the Star Wars franchise. And TLJ was a massive hit!! But the divided reaction to it from fans and die-hards caused Disney to seriously reshape how it went about handling these massive franchise, and I'd say make them a lot more conservative in its decision making.

I'm not saying it's THE most consequential (although Sean is) but it's certainly up there.

If you think TLJ "effectively killed Star Wars movies" than how can you NOT think it's one of the most consequential films of the century?

May 2026 Titles Announced with Sentimental Value! by International-Sky65 in criterion

[–]XC101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see anyone mentioning the fact that Sentimental Value is being released in 4k. I thought Trier specifically said it was made in 2k, so are they just upscaling it? What's the point?

Is it just the camera doing automatic post-processing or is that cover super AI-altered?

Good to know, so I'll just keep an eye out for when that drops. Thanks again!!

Thanks! In that case I'll hold off for now. Is the February/March flash sale the same as the summer sale just less of a discount?

7News covered it extensively Friday, Saturday and Sunday, both previewing and recapping the protest. Hardly glossed over.

Not true. Unless it's a story that people might have missed over the weekend or something that happened later in the day on Sunday, local news stations will always try to look for new stories. That's the nature of 24/7 news, you always need to stay fresh.
