I'm confused, are all 10 episodes of Gangs of London on the AMC app? It says 10 full episodes but it won't play any of the episodes after 6. - Krusty May 13, 09:56 6
- Episodes appear on the app as they air (currently episode 6), AMC+ has them all for binging, but that's the pay tier -- nm - MDH May 13, 10:13 2
  - I don't think the episode count matches for the US/UK versions. We're on Episode 7 in the US, which is UK episode 6 -- nm - MDH May 13, 10:39
  - I think the show peaked at ep 6, I found the violence in the next ep too tough to watch. -- nm - LMS May 13, 10:18
- Looks like they're on AMC+ not the regular AMC app. - Krusty May 13, 10:02 2
  - I don’t think they’ve broadcast past 6. They probably get unlocked when they air live. -- nm - spamlet May 13, 10:03 1
    - It seems it hasn't aired here yet but they're all on the AMC+ app, just not their regular app. - Krusty May 13, 10:06

      - 2/2 -- nm - oblique May 13, 10:50
      - 2/2 -- nm - JD May 13, 10:49
      - These were the easiest questions in ages. -- nm - David May 13, 09:53 2
        
        not "in ages". In ... days. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 10:53
        
        agreed -- nm - oblique May 13, 10:50
      - 2/2 spoils - znufrii May 13, 09:48
      - 2/2 -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 09:46
Disney has announced Jungle Cruise will go to theater and Disney Premier ($30). Wondering how many movies it takes until they realize it’s dumb -- nm - MDH May 13, 09:28 23
- There's zero reason why they would stop doing day and date theater and Disney Premiere. It's bonus bucks with no consequences. They are untouchable. -- nm - IAmQale May 13, 10:59
- Raya and the Last Dragon has been dominant on Disney Premier. -- nm - David May 13, 09:30 21
  - There's not enough data to say that. -- (edited) - Inigo May 13, 09:42 4
    - At this point, I'd be surprised if Disney's net profit on Raya and the Last Dragon is under $100 million. - David May 13, 09:58 3
      - I remember that math. There were so many assumptions there. -- (edited) - Inigo May 13, 10:10 2
        
        But that's the difference between the archaic system that has middlemen vs. the vertical integration of Disney+. - David May 13, 10:21 1
        
        Sure, that is the future. That's why they're doing this. -- (edited) - Inigo May 13, 10:34
  - A is excited to see it next month for free. -- nm - znufrii May 13, 09:32
  - If they ain’t released purchase numbers, it’s meaningless. - Will Hunting May 13, 09:32 14
    - Not to the people who get the $30, the ones who just made a mint. -- nm - David May 13, 09:34 11
      - Where’s the #’s? - Will Hunting May 13, 09:36 10
        
        We went through this once before, and it finished in the top ten on the streaming charts three more weeks after that. - David May 13, 09:39 9
        
        That means nothing. Nathan watched Frozen 7 times in a day. He would have paid for 1. - Will Hunting May 13, 09:49 4
        
        Even if you cut 1.5 billion viewing minutes by seven, that's still a massively profitable movie. - David May 13, 09:57 3
        
        Is it 1.5billion viewing minutes? That’s the number? - Will Hunting May 13, 10:06 2
        
        I think you're not wrong, except for one point. - Beryllium May 13, 10:21 1
        
        Yes, it's why Variety posted two versions of the same article yesterday. Disney's protecting its numbers, even from its own people. - David May 13, 10:27
        
        The sequel is the big tell. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 13, 09:46 2
        
        Has there been an announcement by Disney? Google search says the sequel is rumored not confirmed. -- nm - Inigo May 13, 09:49 1
        
        No official announcement, but development is underway. -- nm - David May 13, 09:54
        
        Random kid at the playground last weekend had the stuffed dragon toy. That’s enough for me to consider it a success. - znufrii May 13, 09:43
    - Yup. Everything floating around the industry is that Mulan and Ray’s were complete flops. -- nm - MDH May 13, 09:34 1
      - I'm in the industry. And I'm stating unequivocally that Raya and the Last Dragon was a solid success. Spiteful movie theaters spit the bit there. -- nm - David May 13, 09:35
14-day moving average of daily new cases in our county has dropped below 100 for the first time since November 4th. Whoohoo! -- nm - znufrii May 13, 09:26 11
- I don't know about anybody else, but I'm definitely thinking about it less. -- nm - David May 13, 09:28 10
  - I'm slowly working on convincing myself to sanitize my hands a bit less. - ty97 May 13, 09:32 2
    - Touch surface infections were already becoming to be known as minimal. Add to that you being vaxx'ed... I'm not saying to *actually* lick doorknobs. - IAmQale May 13, 11:06
    - I’m in the same boat. - David May 13, 09:48
  - Well... (NM) - Marlowe May 13, 09:31 4
    - Sorry. One of BOP's writers is an American living in Japan. - David May 13, 09:36 3
      - Oh, that sucks for him.. (NM) - Marlowe May 13, 09:39 2
        
        Before he left, he was excited about visiting the Miyazaki park, Tokyo Disney, and going to the Olympics. He hasn't gotten to do any of it. -- nm - David May 13, 09:41 1
        
        The two I have visited of those are worth the wait, even a year-long wait. - Marlowe May 13, 09:46
  - I’m still checking our numbers pretty much daily, but that’s just my personal obsession. Just like my retirement accounts. -- (edited) - znufrii May 13, 09:31
  - I played poker Tuesday night and felt no stress. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 09:30

Well, that’s unexpected. Zelina Vega is coming back to WWE in some form. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 09:12 6
- That's a genuinely shocking turn of events. - David May 13, 09:19 5
  - Was it Nick Khan who was pushing the 3rd party ban? - Will Hunting May 13, 09:30 4
    - Among others, yes. He seems very competent overall, though. His time at CAA has prepared him to run a media company well. -- nm - David May 13, 09:33 3
      - I see that idiot Drake Wueetz skipped work to argue a mask mandate is sex-fiend-friendly. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 09:38 2
        
        It sounds like Road Dogg is just as insane about it. He frequently shares that guy's FB posts. - David May 13, 09:40 1
        
        I saw that and laughed. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 09:54

B2 was the movie project announcement board! I'd like to announce a movie project, too. Just as soon as I collect the video from ty97's room... -- nm - Mop May 13, 09:03 1
- "vhy is it drippings vith goo?" -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 09:04
I don’t wear a mask around people outside to protect myself or others from COVID, but to save others the trouble of guessing whether I’m actually vaccinated or just an asshole. -- (link*) - znufrii May 13, 09:02 5
- People are definitely still judging. I still see the majority wearing a mask when outside but I think it'll slowly change as the weather get better and -- (edited) - Krusty May 13, 09:06 4
  - In the UK there's never been a mandate to wear a mask outside -- nm - LMS May 13, 09:27 1
    - Not here either. People certainly do if on sidewalks with other people around. but generally not out walking in parks etc where it is easy to keep a - Andie May 13, 10:01
  - My concern is that all this does is give cover to the assholes who won’t get their shot, but I guess the risk of transmission outside is low enough as it is? -- nm* - znufrii May 13, 09:10 1
    - Yup, unless you're talking with someone directly for a prolonger period of time, or in a large crowd, the risk to get COVID outside is very low. - Inigo May 13, 09:15
Disneyland(CA) Note: Bloggers are paying Full-Fare to get into the Park for a day. Daily Updates are non-existent due to no Passes currently. - budice May 13, 08:55 3
- Do you think that annual passes are coming back anytime soon? -- nm - JD May 13, 08:57 2
  - I'm hearing late 2021 or early 2022. WDW will probably bring them back first. -- nm - David May 13, 09:22
  - I assume that'll be the case in a couple of months when the rush dies down. -- nm - Mop May 13, 09:02
"Trudeau didn't violate conflict rules over WE charity" ... suuuuuure. But whatever. That's how the political cookie crumbles. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 08:53
Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium May 13, 08:52 5

  - Sapper Morton's -- nm - mud May 13, 09:09 4
    - Is that a steak house? -- nm - JaxSean May 13, 09:18 2
      - Well, steak-like protei-rich equivalent house, sure. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 09:18 1
        
        :-D -- nm - mud May 13, 10:40
