It's not hard to see how a total reliance on established reference will result in industry output becoming exceptionally derivative. Real ideas and quality storytelling will move to the indies. Producers will seek out angel investors as the default rather than submit anything to a studio.

I used to do script coverage as a discipline, both professionally and as an intern. Most execs don't and have never read scripts; they are totally reliant upon accurate summaries and assessments of work to choose projects. Without a human factor, greenlights will rely on what an AI can reference.

I want to love something as much as John Woo loved the masks in MI 2. I don't think any director in any genre has had more fun with a single prop or bit of sfx makeup.

It gets a lot of shit, but it's the series at its cheesiest, and I love it for that. John Woo had fun.

Also re: McGwire & Sosa, the 98 Home Run Race would have literally fried modems

Baffling to watch having spent a decade in admin & logistics. There is just... zero thought behind any action other than a delusional insistence that "this show of force will work because I want it to!"

1) Mad Max: Fury Road - A future with limited freshwater gets ROUGH quickly
2) Airplane! - Find me a funnier disaster movie. Find me a funnier movie, period.
3) The Poseidon Adventure (1972) - Man it gets corny at some points, but I will watch anything with Gene Hackman in it a billion times.

Factual. Everyone I know in the guards essentially joined because it gave them critical job skills that they now use in their daily work.

Unless you're Bobby Sands, but exceptions prove the rule here, and hunger strikes are a noble act beyond the implicit possibility of dying.

You can be "2 hours outside of Los Angeles" and still very much be in Los Angeles

Cuomo will be worse if he wins. He has his own cult of personality, he holds NYC largely responsible for his downfall, and he will use a chance at Gracie Mansion to enact his own form of targeted revenge upon the city.

Skater Boy has probably seen the inside of his own kneecap after failing a grind on an unsecured railing. This is nothing to him.

And I understand people want to argue, "There's no legal provision for secession." Sure.
But there's also no real incentive to participate in the diminishing returns of a police state, especially not one where the laws supposedly underpinning it are treated as mutable.
