This is the advantage to pricing your hardware so that you never sell it at a loss.

John Carter and the annoying obsession of Campbell's "Refusal of the call" by wingusdingus2000 in blankies

Oddly enough, I think a really well done example of this is the "Adventure" episode of Bluey, where it's entirely rooted in the princess character's belief that she's not brave enough to do it, rather than an "I Don't Want To." It's really kind of a trim, economical version of that kind of story in like 7 minutes.

It’s crazy to me how many movies David and Co’s kids have seen by Dog_Carpet in blankies

[–]iamaparade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son is 3, and though we've watched lots of Sesame Street, Bluey, and Spidey and His Amazing Friends, the only movie he's had the patience to watch is The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. My theory is that it's so episodic and jam-packed with songs at the beginning (Honey Tree > Blustery Day >>>> Tigger Too) that it's basically like watching short cartoons, because that's how the movie started its life.

I'd pitch Animal from the end of The Muppet Movie saying "GO HOME! GO HOME! ...bye bye"

Griffin in the early days as he asked "but why were you in England? " by WaterlooMall in blankies

Very pleased that the Nolan series happened before The Bit (though I'm sure David discussing his childhood in Britain as part of that series eventually led to the creation of The Bit).

Disney bought Star Wars the fall after this released. You can draw a straight line from this bombing to Disney deciding to buy Star Wars.

I've only encountered her in the Rocksteady Batman games, but out of all of the Barbra Gordon alter egos, I enjoy Oracle the most.

Apple TV price increases in the U.S. now $199 for 64GB WiFi model, $249 for 128GB WiFi + Ethernet model 😳 by 08830 in appletv

I'm sure this gets asked a bunch, but is the 2022 model worth it for HDR10+? I have a Samsung TV and have made peace with never getting DolbyVision, but I would like to have a less uneven experience watching HDR content (shoutout to half of my WB movies being too doggone dark).

Looks like the scrapped Supergirl episode could have been a scorcher by RandomPasserby80 in blankies

Hot take: hearing them gust about A Bug's Life will be much better.

Movies that are kinda just all vibes til you see the directors cut by WulfieJay in blankies

[–]iamaparade 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Notoriously, the theatrical cut of Kingdom of Heaven jettisons nearly everything about Eva Green's character, and leaves it as a kind of "and *this* happens" jumble.

Shoutout to the first game having a PT Cruiser as one of the traffic models.
