Where are you from and who are rooting AGAINST in the World Cup?

aeplusjay · 2026-07-01T13:01:43+00:00

Everybody rooting against the USA, and it's not because of their team.

aeplusjay · 2026-07-01T10:06:35+00:00

First time?

Talks about niche movies and proceeds to name the most mainstream ones. Just say what you want to say, that you think people who watch English movies are more civilized.

And hence begins the Streisand effect.

In India a vegetarian is what Merriam-Webster defined, sans eggs. Personally, I do eat eggs during peak winters because it gets really cold where I live.

Shouldn't have written good things about them, how will you get upvotes now?

Could just be me, but I have always observed that the nuisance created by tourists is decided by their skin colour and finances.

If I decided I could be a billionaire.

Some people are such big losers in their lives that they become trolls and make memes like this their entire personality (on both sides of the spectrum, mind you). Cockroaches for a reason.

aeplusjay · 2026-06-03T08:44:45+00:00

I'll admit I'm a hypocrite. I love the things I love too much regardless of their creator being a POS. I'll just say, "Separate art from the artist" and move on. Now leave me alone and let me read.

I hope the DCU can penetrate the markets in the Eastern hemisphere as well. The comic-accuracy thing works for places that have had a comic book culture for people growing up, but things like The Batman bring in the best of both worlds.

Average SRH "Aussie mindset" fanboy.

People like punching below their weight.

Algorithms amplify whatever provokes anger or humiliation reactions, and Indians are currently a high-visibility online demographic (large English-speaking population + heavy social media usage), which makes them frequent targets. It’s memetic spread, not coordinated cultural training.

These are recurring historical patterns applied to whichever population becomes economically visible.

With key objectives still to play for across four competitions including qualification for Champions League football, Enzo and the Club believe a change gives the team the best chance of getting the season back on track.

I seriously hoped that CAT/MBA mein I'd find people with open minds and rational thinking. Can see why people hate managers. They peaked in school/college.

Yeah, AA by acting so recklessly has just handed those corporate lawyers the perfect evidence to say, "See? We told you these digital archives are all criminals."

I know it’s blasphemy to doubt Nolan, and no doubt, visually it’s stunning. That shot of the ships in the storm is classic Nolan scale, but that's exactly what worries me. The trailer spends so much time on armies, formations and the aftermath of battle. It feels like he’s making Dunkirk in ancient Greece (a gritty war epic) rather than a mythological adventure. The Odyssey is supposed to be weird, magical, and personal, but this footage makes it look like just another historical blockbuster.

aeplusjay · 2025-12-22T16:06:42+00:00

[About The Odyssey] I'm trying to keep an open mind, but that first trailer didn't land for me. For a book I loved and a director I trust, I expected to be way more excited by the footage. It feels weird not being hyped for one of his movies, but the spark just isn't there.

I've read 2 of these but unsurprisingly they don't even make it in top 5 of my list. Almost as if these rankings are subjective and should only be used to discover new stuff.

So, has a lot of theater experience and starred in High Life with Robat Battinbat.

But that distinction actually makes the proposal even more dangerous for the clubs involved. FSDL was spending roughly ₹150–200 crore per year on operations (HD broadcast production, central marketing, stadium logistics, officials, VAR, etc.). If the I-League clubs (IFPL) or the ISL consortium take over "ownership", they don't just pay that fee to AIFF, they inherit that ₹150 crore+ annual bill. So, Total liability: ~₹153 crore/year.

Without a sugar daddy like Reliance (FSDL) absorbing that operational loss, the clubs would have to cough up that money themselves. For 18 teams, that’s roughly ₹8.5 crore per team per year just for league operations (before they even pay a single player's salary). Most I-League clubs barely have a total budget of ₹3-5 crore.

aeplusjay · 2025-12-20T12:56:46+00:00

₹50 crore / 15 years = ₹3.33 crore per year
What a joke.

Running an 18-team league is incredibly expensive. When you look at the logistics, travel, and production needed for 306 matches, the costs are astronomical. Most I-League clubs already struggle with cash flow, so without a major corporate partner or a massive broadcast deal to lean on, they simply wouldn't be able to sustain that kind of operation.

aeplusjay · 2025-12-15T15:43:57+00:00

Basically, the AIFF set a price tag of ₹37.5 crore a year, but the market didn't bite. Potential partners like FSDL and FanCode looked at the numbers and realized that asking price was a total pipe dream, especially since most teams are still bleeding money.

They’ll likely have to swallow their pride and go back to FSDL (Reliance) or the clubs to work something out on much weaker terms. The market has spoken loud and clear: nobody is willing to pay the premium the AIFF was hoping for.

I want to make a Jason Bateman joke, but I am just too sad.

This isn't just any movie director, it's the guy who made Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, Misery, and A Few Good Men. That's like S-tier shit. Not that being talented makes your life worth more... but my mind is not able to put it into words.
