  - They had some nice looking trees at the local stands but at those prices I think we're looking at a 4' tree which is making me a bit sad. - Krusty Nov 26, 11:19
- Are they real trees? That’s a crazy price either way I guess -- nm - Flavorize Nov 26, 11:04 1

  - For a lot of companies it is. - spamlet Nov 26, 10:26 3
    - And it's also a trap at the same time. The rule for me was 1 drink, shake hands, gtfo. - colin Nov 26, 11:10 2
      - I don’t drink so it’s an endless supply of questions on why not when I get a Diet Coke. -- nm - spamlet Nov 26, 11:12 1

Glass Onion must be doing well. They’ve added shows for tomorrow at one of the theatres I was looking to go to. -- nm - spamlet Nov 26, 07:33 23
- I enjoy the theater v. streaming debate but never understand the logic behind the "theaters will/should die" side. - rollo Nov 26, 09:54 2
  - they (mistakenly) think everything they used to shell out bucks to watch in theaters will just port right over to a streamer 100% - hollywood big shot Nov 26, 09:59 1
    - It would be telling to poll theater goers about what streaming platforms they sub to. What do you think is the % seeing Glass Onion with a NFLX sub -- nm - rollo Nov 26, 10:07
- They are thinking $12-13M for the 5 day. Someone at Netflix finally realizing what they left on the table. -- nm - MDH Nov 26, 07:46 16

    - Versus $0. Still makes money. -- nm - MDH Nov 26, 09:09
    - Agreed, sort of what pixie is saying. The company rakes in $8B / quarter. A one-time $100-$200M box office return barely dents that. -- nm - budice Nov 26, 08:50 1
      - RiJo had all the leverage to demand that any Knives Out they paid him $450m for got a full release but apparently he didn't -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 26, 09:00
  - they know, they just don't care. unlike the studios, Hastings/Sarandos understand the value of exclusivity. the more you can watch in theaters the - hollywood big shot Nov 26, 07:49 10
    - I mean, I'm not dumping Netflix regardless of where it shows up first. Would cost the 4 of us 1/2 a year of the subscription to go to theatre - Beaker Nov 26, 08:11 3
      - if they start acting like a studio for even 4 major theatrical releases, that doubles a project's cost for P&A marketing (they barely even market - hollywood big shot Nov 26, 08:15 2
        
        I'd do ads for the service and highlight their upcoming theatrical releases. They're spending ad money to get subs, pimp their theatre movies that way -- nm - Beaker Nov 26, 08:19 1
        
        plus the usual articles and stuff that the entertainment sites do. And not for every movie of course. Glass Onion, Grey man, massive stuff -- nm - Beaker Nov 26, 08:20
    - Someday they will realize $425M in expenses and $0 in revenue doesn’t make a financial statement work. -- nm - MDH Nov 26, 08:06 2
      - they've been spending $17b/yr since the studios started cutting off their licensing deals. until subs crater, they're not going to change - hollywood big shot Nov 26, 08:13 1

        It's got a proper UK theatrical release only. I'm going to see it tomorrow. -- nm - LMS Nov 26, 08:47
- I went at noon(!) on Wednesday(!!) and it was quite full. Netflix should delay the streaming release for a week. 😋 -- nm - Sub-baroner Nov 26, 07:40 2
  - It's not playing everywhere. Delaying insults small markets. -- nm - Kellyanne Scrabblestats Nov 26, 08:16 1
    - they insulted LA/NY too until they wanted to seriously contend for Best Picture (Roma was in like four houses here but then LA crowds kept showing up) - hollywood big shot Nov 26, 08:20

Players standing around and bitching after a penalty has been awarded is my least favorite part of soccer. It’s a pen. Move. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 26, 05:47 3
- *makes several exaggerated emphatic hand gestures to try to convince you otherwise* -- nm - Mop Nov 26, 08:33
- It was a crap call, but agreed you're not going to change anything. -- nm - Reagen Nov 26, 05:49 1
  - I hate it. It’s a delay tactic but it’s so obvious. If you’re the captain, ask a question. If you aren’t, get out of the box. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 26, 05:55
this ref is paid by the card. -- nm - Reagen Nov 26, 05:21 1

    - seems good, but it basically clinches advance for England, while we still must win our next game. -- nm - psilotum Nov 25, 20:08 1
      - Yeah. When Iran beat Wales earlier, it kind of neutered this game for the US. Tie or loss regardless they still have to beat Iran on Tuesday. - Volnelk Nov 25, 20:20
