- US shirts -- (link) - crash davis Aug 1, 16:21 5

  - UK shirts -- (link) - crash davis Aug 1, 16:26 3

  - I want to ask "How the hell do you get enough credit to get 26 million in debt?" and then I remember a certain prominent politician who recently left -- nm - crash davis Aug 1, 16:17 6
    - "I'm earning 7M a year, loan me a shit ton please" -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 16:21 5

        Thanks. I'm also going to make the assumption that most of the 29 in front of him were not fellow Sharks. -- nm - crash davis Aug 1, 16:36

- Oh. Oh! It's weirder than I thought! (spoilers) - Baron of the Rings Aug 1, 15:52 4

- If you tweeted that, I would give it a like. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 13:38
bery! - mud Aug 1, 13:20 4
- I'm not looking forward to the smoke. I want to go sailing, but I don't want to get lung cancer. - Beryllium Aug 1, 13:36 3
  - I question your dedication to sparkle sailing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 13:39 2
    - If its not from the french smoking section, then its just sparkling tears in your eyes and black lung -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 1, 15:54
    - oh man, I need a fan cam for sailing -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 13:40
Heh -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 1, 13:17

Streamers: With Black Widow streaming number at $60 Mill...does Disney release Shang-Chi day and date and rework the actor contracts? -- nm* - Remlik Aug 1, 11:35 28
- The answer was a hard no until Delta made COVID-19 a thing again. Their (terrible) choices now are last-minute delay and simultaneous release. - David Aug 1, 13:50 3
  - oh btw on a podcast back a couple of weeks ago you pronounced it wrong.... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 1, 13:52 2
    - I have an excuse for the title, I'm from Chicago. 😊 -- nm - . Aug 1, 14:14
    - I've seen this post. He always comes across as chippy on social media. -- nm - David Aug 1, 14:12
- They need to get with it and do it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 13:14
- I think if they were going to do Premiere Access, they would have already announced it. We're too close to release to change it, imo. -- nm - Inigo Aug 1, 12:05 1
  - see I think so as well. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 12:15
- Yes. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 1, 12:03 16
  - I think they stick to exclusive theatrical if only to tell ScarJo “SEE? No way Black Widow hits those thresholds.” - Mop Aug 1, 12:19 15
    - 🍎 and 🍊, though. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 13:40
    - They sacrificed the revenue of Shang-Chi when they scheduled it for Labor Day Weekend. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 12:28 9
      - They chose that weekend and then Delta Variant lol’d. -- nm - IAmQale Aug 1, 13:31
      - I don’t think our traditional notion of “good” weekends applies right now. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 1, 12:42 7
        
        They scheduled it for a bottom 2 weekend in normal times, at best. If we are ‘back’, that means end of summer fun, not theaters. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 13:02 3
        
        There's a year and a half of backlog to get through. Everything is a viable weekend now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 13:09 2
        
        The 800lb gorilla picks it’s weekend. They chose the worst. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 13:26 1
        
        Those are pre-Covid rules. Behaviours are scrambled now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 15:51
        
        plus there is nothing else on that weekend being released -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 13:01 2
        
        It’s MCU. People move because of MCU. You put it a week later and make that week move. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 13:03 1
        
        Nah. they didn't dump it. you're wrong. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 13:25
    - Simon Liu is not the Hollywood equivalent of ScarJo, that's a pretty awful comparison. -- nm - ty97 Aug 1, 12:27 3
      - Yes, but I'll do the same thing I did with black widow: pay for premiere access, because my kids aren't vaccinated. - Beryllium Aug 1, 12:37 2
        
        There aren't any other Premiere Access titles scheduled right now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 12:40 1
        
        Well then I'll wait. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 14:14
- -- nm* - Remlik Aug 1, 11:48 1
  - yes! -- nm - mud Aug 1, 11:49
- I don't understand what you're asking. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 11:43 1
  - Sorry I meant to mention Shang-chi! Do they release it day and date -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 11:49
Good idea: hiking from 5,500 ft to 7,000 ft to enjoy the mountain views. - spamlet Aug 1, 11:23 7
- Where in the world is spammy now? -- nm - ty97 Aug 1, 12:05 3
  - College visit in Boulder. -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 13:28 1
    - yeah, you wouldn't have time in a college visit to acclimate to the altitude. -- nm - loosilu Aug 1, 20:58
  - I dunno, but I think I hear banjos. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 12:47
- Yep, they generally recommend a day or two. We're able to do that by driving up from the coast, but it's still an adjustment. -- nm - Meg Aug 1, 11:36
- Not sure I'd agree with that first part being a "good idea." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 1, 11:26 1
  - There may have been a guy ready to code me at one point but I made it. -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 11:31
OTD: Aug 1, 2015 Rush play their final show, Working Man is the final song -- (link) - Remlik Aug 1, 11:18 [youtube] 1
- Jerry Garcia would have been 79 today -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 1, 11:20
We definitely have high altitude smoke today -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 10:57 1
- It’s been smoky here in east TN. So weird to get the migrating smoke all the way from the west coast. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 1, 11:14

      - 2/2 - I maybe should have abstained on the first ;) -- nm - Meg Aug 1, 10:58
      - 2/2 -- nm - JD Aug 1, 10:57
      - 2/2 -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 10:50
      - 2/2 and spoiler to the second question - Peglegpete Aug 1, 10:50 1
        
        👍 -- nm - JD Aug 1, 10:58
W AKANDA forever, or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first -- (pic) - zeitgeist Aug 1, 10:44 [Attachment]
I was doing research after the podcast last night and stumbled across this now-comical AP evaluation of Disney buying Marvel. - David Aug 1, 10:37 2
- *laughs* -- nm - James Gunn Aug 1, 10:38 1
  - That's when Mr Miller did the analyst equivalent of a bat flip -- nm - JD Aug 1, 10:41
Wow this is a hell of an article about Charles Whitman and that day. -- (link) - Jovian Aug 1, 10:06
Mets unlikely to sign Kumar Rocker after his Medical’s revealed elbow concerns. He did not participate in the MLB MRI combine medical exam. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 09:57
Recommendation to turn on the women's beach volleyball right now USA v CAN -- nm* - con_carne Aug 1, 09:54 3
- Is this a different one from last night? -- nm - David Aug 1, 10:23 2
  - I am guessing not. It was on my NBC affiliate but not live -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 10:26 1
    - Yeah, I was watching it last night. Really, really intense match with an unfortunate controversy. -- nm - David Aug 1, 10:29
Kim's jukebox is spinning all the hits today! -- (link) - David Aug 1, 09:35 [youtube] 2
- Someone told that guy to not touch the mic but he so badly wants to touch the mic. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 17:27
- good grief -- nm - mud Aug 1, 10:01
Raya is probably the most profitable film of the pandemic. Disney just hasn't said the numbers for it. -- nm - David Aug 1, 09:34 16
- Sidenote: F9 was done on a $55 million budget? That's impressive and very profitable. -- nm - Inigo Aug 1, 12:07 1
  - Missed a digit. F8 was 250mil+. Only the 1st one was under 70mil. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 12:13
- KMT will sue if they do. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 10:37
- The only thing that points you in that direction is Disney Trending. Which isn't scientific or known. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 1, 09:41 12
  - I think you know that I disagree with pretty much everything you say is known. (Post edited to correct one math error) -- (edited) - David Aug 1, 10:23 11
    - You lose me when you say 2/3 of viewing minutes are repeats is comically high. Ask the parents of a Disney kid…how many times did the kid - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:55 5
      - It's also doesn't account for multiple people and families using a Disney+ account. That can seriously decrease the amount of money/per minutes viewed - Inigo Aug 1, 11:16 3
        
        I'll go with Occam's Razor: Disney is a PR company. If they had something worth the PR, they would have released it. They didn't. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:59 1
        
        That's the wrong Occam's Razor. Disney is a business. It costs them money if the talent know they're underpaid. -- nm - David Aug 1, 13:49
        
        Or any international buyers at all. This isn't as finite as you want it to be. -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:21
      - Remember the second-screen comment. -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:15
    - We'll find out about Black Widow's Nielsen's numbers on Thursday. - Inigo Aug 1, 10:49 3
      - Puppies and rainbows. -- (edited) - David Aug 1, 11:14 2
        
        No worries. I still love you. :) - Inigo Aug 1, 11:52 1
        
        With two million in sales and a 134-minute run-time, Black Widow should have a Nielsen rating of at least 268 million minutes. - David Aug 1, 14:11
    - Inigo just became my hero. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 10:40
L.A. firefighters cycling across country to commemorate 9-11. In this heat!?! -- (link) - Meg Aug 1, 09:27 3
- When I got out of the movie last night it was too cold to put the top down. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 10:36 1
  - Don't know which way they're going but this is one option :/ -- (link) - Meg Aug 1, 10:57
- It's super hard to consider 9-11 milestone anniversary in the same year as a far more dangerous attack in the Insurrection on January 6th. -- nm - Qale Aug 1, 09:33
Lollapalooza: After his homophobic rant at another show, Dababy has been kicked off the show and the headlining slot he had tonight -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 09:21 6
- This doesn't make him Da Brat. That's a whole different person. (And presenting gender.) -- nm - Qale Aug 1, 09:32
- On the plus side, now we all get to move him to the "heard of them" column. -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 09:26 4
  - Featured on Dua Lipa's "Levitating" so good chance he was already there. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 1, 09:43 3
    - Pop music ST needs to put its money where its mouth is and show up to ST Turntable once in a while. -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 09:58 2
      - When it comes to music knowledge, I'm about eleventy-first on ST rankings, but I do tune in to Hits 1 so I'm not completely out of the loop -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 1, 11:04 1
        
        Dua Lipa: sexy. Pop music-based inferiority complex: not sexy. -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 12:55
