I think binge-watching reduces the value of new serialized content -- and I think as Netflix continues to evolve, they'll step back from the full-season release model and parcel out shows in smaller chunks, at least for high-profile highly-anticipated shows. Maybe not an episode-per-week model, but ...

The first documentation of our national identity is called the Declaration of Independence. The first suggestion yelled out at the brainstorming session was "You can't tell us what to do!" And if you tell us it's GOOD for us? That's a double Hell no! Sure, we like the idea of sacrifice -- ...

Mask wearing is not as high as possible. Masks clearly ARE reducing numbers. See Vox link above. Where McDonald's franchisees can stay open, so can other restaurants under the same rules. There are places where the rules aren't being followed / aren't adequate, and employees are imperiled -- profit ...

Bothsidesism is a term because a specific fallacious rhetorical technique became so common in public discourse as to need a term.

The prejudice against Donnie is completely earned. He is a malignant narcissist with a public record decades long. That doesn't mean his actions can't produce any positive result, and even the not-by-any-reasonable-definition "liberal" media has dutifully reported the occasional positive r...

"a Covid only relief bill." Convenient made-up term to gloss over the fact that Mitch has been sitting on his hands for months.

Try it as a vacation before trying it as a vocation. Then ask yourself honestly why that's not enough. The judgment you seem afraid of here isn't that you're turned on by women getting unmasked, or women in tight rubber suits and diving gear fighting for their lives -- it's the judgment that you're ...

Yes, "natural disaster" has some administrative and legal meaning. Declaring a disaster activates protocols for administrative action and allows access to funding pre-authorized or set aside for such purposes. I believe further declaring a *natural* disaster invokes some "acts of God&...

Just look at any COVID conspiracy discussion on social media and you don't have to scroll down far to find people accusing Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates of being demons who are plotting the downfall of humanity. Not just people to be demonized, but actual demons . From Hell. Who need to be killed. T...

Mandatory mask-wearing puts an individual's comfort and freedom of expression against a chance of temporary illness, and smaller chances of permanent complications or death. The main issue here isn't the virus risk to the individual who refuses to wear a mask, it's the virus risk to those around th...

The real issue is the closing down of businesses based mostly along class lines. Bob's furniture store has to close but Walmart gets to stay open. Ralph's BBQ shack has to close but McDonalds with its 10 employees packed into the back shoulder to shoulder gets to stay open. Movie and video producti...

The payment processing review of PornHub was probably done at a time when there wasn't much objectionable content uploaded yet.

I was wrangling with 2 ideas and maybe you guys can help me with this. Best Producer - The Producer who has either put out the best consistent content or could be a producer who has produced a blockbuster hit in the genre. Best Studio - The studio/producer with the best sets/locations/props.... or ...

More like it was probably bulky and so they would take it off when she was doing torso shots. Same with boots (my guess). When I did shoots we would remove the girl's high heel boots when we weren't seeing her legs so she wouldn't trip or feel uncomfortable. Also bare legs can get cold and it maybe...

If Supergirl isn't blonde, the vast majority of moviegoers will not even notice, much less care. I disagree. For one thing the media will report on it as a 'thing', and given she's been a blonde since creation it will inevitably generate stories in the media, so people will be aware in the same way...

I don't think the special interests at the root of this site have much to do with the discussion trainwrecks here, except to the extent that they limit the size of the community.

Be careful with aerosols, when outdoors or even inside with AC or just people moving around a lot, microcurrents can waft it back on you. You wouldn't want your up-close weapon to backfire on you.

I disagree. Threads get yanked into the drainage ditch by political cliches, and then trapped by the insistence that no political cliche go unanswered. This is more toxic to the forum than when originally-political threads cross that semantic line of "personal attack." I guess I agree tha...

In live-action SHIP, any powers at all. Not for special effects, just for dramatic storytelling.

Howard Stark could have namedropped Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable or Lana Turner, or any number of starlets who would appear on pinups in U.S. serviceman's lockers during the war, etc. The choice of Hedy Lamarr was deliberate by the writers for the reasons you described.

It was a simple obvious joke, set up early in the episode and nicely paid off.

Episode 2 showed a pretty dramatic upswing in the fortunes of the universe simply by having space pirates abduct the wrong ten-year-old.

Last thing I want for Marvel is where DC is trudging. When everyone's Batman, no one is. What's this a reference to, by the way? DC's shoulder-shrug on continuity, schizophrenic treatment of Batman (can't have him, make other characters like him, have another reboot), and Syndrome's line from The I...

The Congressional investigation would fizzle if OnlyFans followed PornHub's approach. But I think OnlyFans has stars in their eyes over the Titillating Celebrity Effect. OnlyFans is majority-owned by porn magnate Leonid Radivinsky, who bought his way in from the founding Stokely family in late 2018....

I also wish sex workers would get together and build their own platform. They do but then they charge higher premiums. Why is that? Is it because they can't get big enough to get payment processing terms as favorable as OnlyFans? Or because OnlyFans operated at a loss in order to (illegally) disrup...

Social conservatives may be the most organized and persistent antagonists, but what matters is that nobody in politics stands up for sex workers. And that's because sex work is still taboo. The politics is effectively non-partisan because society as a whole is against it.

The ending left a bad taste in my mouth, but the journey was still very worthwhile. About the ending...

Your interpretation is little doubt closer to the creators' intent. I'm not really a horror fan. (And you know what? The show gives you the terms of the ending in her first meeting.)
