  - FUCKERS. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 12:30
Here it comes... "Speculation Is on Fire Around HBO Max’s Future, Planned Layoffs in Major Streaming Shake-Up" - David Aug 3, 11:45 38
- they've had so many changes of direction they should just make the name HBO They/Them -- nm - rollo Aug 3, 12:24
- The earnings call is Thursday. Good money that HBO Max and Discovery+ get merged. What that looks like is anyone's guess. - Mop Aug 3, 12:17
- where is that from. I'm arguing with some Old store retailers. -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 12:17 2

  - getting ready for another sale? Sell the works to Apple or Amazon? -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 11:54 6
    - assuming it did happen, it would destroy Crave as a streamer up here in Canada once their contracts ended as HBO stuff is most of their content -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 12:03 2
      - To be fair, I signed back up for Crave because of Star Trek -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 12:03 1
        
        sure, but unless it is 24/7 Trek I can just watch on Space Network -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 12:04
    - The unannounced plan all along was to shrink costs to make themselves more appealing to a larger entity. - David Aug 3, 11:59 2
      - so...killing your IP by cancelling all your shows to increase your value...sounds like "dig up stupid" level of thinking -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 12:14 1
        
        Sadly, it's late-stage capitalism 101 to cut all avoidable costs before selling. -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:17
- RIP HBO Max -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 11:46 19
  - I'm about to lose Harley Quinn *and* the Kite Man spinoff because David Zaslav is a moron. - David Aug 3, 11:50 18
    - Hmm, this might cost us The Flight Attendant, too. - David Aug 3, 12:03 16
      - I had read that Kaley Cuoco hadn't committed to a 3rd season and wanted to move on (she got some other show I think). -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 12:20 5
        
        season 3 just dropped. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 12:21 4
        
        We're talking about The Flight Attendant, which has finished season 2 and gained a season 3. Harley Quinn is in season 3 right now. - David Aug 3, 12:26
        
        Uhm... it is live action. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:24 2
        
        Confused with Harley. I’m dumb -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 12:26 1
        
        Watch out for floating telescopes! -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:27
      - But yeah, would watch another. Then again, only 70% are gone so the other 30% have to be staying to do *something*, right? -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:18 2
        
        Peacemaker! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 12:20 1

        yeah it was lacking. -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 12:16 5
        
        I liked it by the end, but wasn't as into during most of the season. -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 12:26
        
        It also seemed like a good ending for the series. Did not think there would be another season. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 12:19 3
        
        It was renewed for season 3 before season 2 even aired. -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:25 1

- I was gonna go with "thinly veiled racist garbage", but I guess I slightly missed the mark -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 11:27 4
  - 45/2 -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:29 3
    - Nm -- nm* - Beryllium Aug 3, 11:32
    - (This was my guess at how I'd perceive the specific review, not the movie.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 11:32 1
      - 45/3 -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:33
- LOL -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:26
Padres say Soto ready to go tonight -- (link) - budice Aug 3, 11:11
I believe this is a new Pokémon Scarlet/Violet trailer. Everything is going open world, Breath of the Wild-style. -- (link) - Qale As Folk Aug 3, 11:10
I'm waiting to get my passport renewed and sitting next to perhaps the stupidest people I've ever heard - Reagen Aug 3, 11:02 7
- Isn't that how radio waves work, how else do they show reruns on TV? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 11:19
- Tell them that not only can they see into the past, if they turn the telescope around and look in the other end they can see into the future -- nm - decline Aug 3, 11:11
- Those are actually good points. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:07 1
  - A loopback gravitational lens would be interesting. Seeing our solar system at some other point in time ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 11:09

  - It was too much, I moved seats. - Reagen Aug 3, 11:07 1

Avengers: Endgame had a darker path -- (link) - budice Aug 3, 10:41 3

  - Neat! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 10:33
- I'm not that surprised. Aside from Mop and others STers Loling at it, the trailer was crazy good. -- nm - Inigo Aug 3, 10:14 7
  - word -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:19
  - I like the trailer but you can cut a great 150 second trailer for a dog, and reviews embargoed and the history of the property…. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 10:49 2
    - people should cut trailers for pets. -- nm - Andie Aug 3, 10:56 1
      - Their secret lives! -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:47
  - I think some of the negative expectation was due to reviews being embargoed until today. -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 10:25 1
    - and prior history since Predator 1 and 2 -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 10:29
  - Yeah, I don't get the issue. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 10:20
- I … would not have expected that. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 10:08 1
  - I'm surprised, yet still disinterested. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 10:12

inigo, exactly. -- (link) - amanda Aug 3, 09:44 [Backboard] 10
- And it's important to note that this was a *turnout* result - Reagen Aug 3, 09:47 9
  - Also important to note that they were able to successfully frame it as a non-partisan issue. Harder to do that in a partisan two-way race. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 3, 09:59 7
    - We'll have to see where the turnout was, but I have a feeling the bulk of it is independent and democratic women. - Inigo Aug 3, 10:12 6
      - Apparently a Catholic group got panicked and started sending out texts that said Vote Yes to Protect Choice - Reagen Aug 3, 10:21 5
        
        Isn't that typical dirty tricks played in politics? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 11:33
        
        Wait, did you say that right? If so, please explain. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 3, 10:23 3
        
        They were trying to trick people into voting Yes to remove the protection -- (link) - Reagen Aug 3, 10:26 2
        
        I was about to ask how that was legal, but then I read the comment above the text. - The Allfather Aug 3, 10:28 1
        
        Yeah, I dug deeper into the twitter feed and discovered that it’s only legal because it’s fallen through the cracks due to being an amendment. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 3, 11:05
  - yeah, and I didn't mean to suggest last night that the idiots I was referring to made much of a difference, just that there were probly a lot. -- nm - mud Aug 3, 09:51
LOL (Jones trial) -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 3, 09:41 5
- Bankston on the hot mic: "You know what nobody's thought about yet....what happens when that phone goes to law enforcement?" -- nm - decline Aug 3, 09:53

  - I'm utterly disgusted that they made so much money. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 09:47 2
    - Well, it’s his mommy and daddy’s shell company buying ads and jumping to the front of creditors. That’s why he wants bankruptcy. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 10:05 1
      - Seriously? That's diabolical (and some clever but evil lawyering) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 11:22
SpaceX debris confirmed on Australian farm -- (link) - znufrii Aug 3, 09:30
DTL: that was not the kid I’d expect to have a posted 4/4 tie so at least an 8/8. — Justin Thompson c26 - Will Hunting Aug 3, 09:23 1

- John Hurt is my favorite Doctor -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 3, 10:05 1
  - Paul McGann was robbed -- nm - LMS Aug 3, 10:16
- Moore is and will always be *my* Bond. - Jovian Aug 3, 10:00 1
  - In a way, it *could* be argued Moore was the Keaton of the Batman franchise (some camp), while Patterson might be the Craig (most violent). Bale is - Spawn Aug 3, 11:23
- Brosnan, Moore, Connery, then Craig. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 09:53
- Dalton was a fine Bond, too... but Brosnan is my Bond. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 09:35 4
  - I grew up with Moore and Dalton. But I prefer Brosnan though admit his movies are super cringe sometimes. -- (edited) - sycor Aug 3, 09:39 3
    - Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies may be my favourite Bond films. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 09:54 2

Clown Warning -- (link) - JD Aug 3, 09:20 [youtube]
I'd be more interested in a movie with Jermaine Clement playing Man-Bat. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 09:16 2
