I like digging into official rules of sweepstakes. In this year’s Starbucks for Life, there are more 6 months of Starbucks prizes than Coffee Brewers. -- (edited) - Qale Nov 29, 16:53 2
- Counting on those 1st prize winners not claiming their full money's worth, while they have to provide all the coffee makers ? - Meg Nov 29, 17:10 1
  - The coffee maker is listed as about $400. You’re right that luring people to come daily for their prize can spur even more spending though. - Qale Nov 29, 17:12

  - Braised Panda Parts. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 29, 16:21
- There's zero chance I'd eat at Panda Express but I would happily donate to a pet charity. -- nm - Krusty Nov 29, 15:02 2
  - If you're so inclined, here is their main website with a donation button up at the top. :-) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Nov 29, 15:40 1
    - Donation headed their way. -- nm - Krusty Nov 29, 17:41
- my nearest Panda is stingy AF with the meat and when I ask for a little more they give me shit -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 14:54
Cinema owners asked Netflix to play Glass Onion in more theaters and for a longer period of time. However, Netflix reportedly declined. -- (link) - budice Nov 29, 14:23 20
- I'm not surprised by the one week release. I am surprised by the 3.5 week break before it hits streaming. -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 15:00 4
  - That's what they had to agree to in order to get AMC and Regal on board. A 30 day theatrical window. -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 29, 15:32 1
    - so even extra dickish to not make $100m+ during the full window just . . . because -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 15:37
  - Yup. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 29, 15:00 1
    - Yikes, I didn't know that detail. Big piracy window. -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 15:05
- also told exhibitors not to trumpet that it made a killing on just 600 screens with no real marketing push . . . or else -- (link) - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 14:34 12
  - Wouldn't "the only way to see this smash hit now is to sign up for Netflix" be good marketing? -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 14:41 11
    - i personally don't think features drive subscriptions over the long haul as much as series, but when DVDs were still a thing, exhibition was basically - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 14:45
    - No, that's a way to get a lot of ppl into 30 day free trials and then drop you -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 14:43 9
      - I don’t think Netflix does free trials much these days. -- nm - Qale Nov 29, 15:13 2
        
        Netflix does not offer free trials, but you have the freedom to change your plan or cancel online at any time if you decide Netflix isn't for you. - rollo Nov 29, 15:16 1
        
        sure, but people are lazy and forgetful. plenty of people will just sign up and let it ride. -- nm - mafic Nov 29, 16:39
      - To have any chance to hold onto a subscriber at all they have to entice them to sign up in the first place. -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 14:50 3
        
        IMO the long-tail of their entire library is what gets/keeps subscribers, not the latest addition to it. They should get as much exhibition money up - rollo Nov 29, 15:04 2
        
        there was a reason Netflix paid $100m to keep Friends for one extra year before it got siloed on HBO Max. their biggest performers were always legacy - hollywood big shot Nov 29, 15:26 1
        
        Yup the original gets you to sign up since those are what get the marketing push, the legacy stuff gets you to stay once you are already there -- nm - con_carne Nov 29, 16:14
      - I bet the 30 day trials are going to go away OR be modified so that the latest projects aren't accessible. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 14:44 1
        
        a bunch here are a week free only now (Paramount+) -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 15:04

GUILTY! (In the voice of the jury in Superman) -- nm* - Jovian Nov 29, 14:09 17
- Another breakdown of the verdicts for each: -- (link) - Jovian Nov 29, 14:28 3
  - throw. away. the keys! -- nm - mud Nov 29, 14:29 2
    - Between the five of them. Guilty of 17 of the 28 total charges. -- nm* - Jovian Nov 29, 14:35 1
      - and they will all (with exception of Caldwell) be remanded to jail until their sentencing. -- nm - Jovian Nov 29, 14:40
- Rhodes, Meggs - guilty. Harrelson, Watkins, Caldwell - not guilty -- nm - mud Nov 29, 14:12 11
  - But it's a weird mix. For instance the others are guilty of conspiracy to obstruct, but Rhodes isn't, though they're all guilty of obstruction. - pmb Nov 29, 14:16 7
    - If he obstructed independently, not conspiring with others? -- nm - Meg Nov 29, 14:56
    - confusing mix helps them in the appeal, right? -- nm - mud Nov 29, 14:18 3
      - Possibly if there's confusion about the jury instructions and that's the basis of the appeal. -- nm - pmb Nov 29, 14:38
      - "Your honor, I'm just a simple caveman seditionist ..." -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:18 1

  - Pre Only Murders in the Building, sure. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 14:25
  - I'd say quality. And Brandi Carlile has never been as big as she is right now. - pmb Nov 29, 14:18
- That's not even factoring in the requisite Selena Gomez and Alec Baldwin cameos -- nm - rollo Nov 29, 14:10 1
  - Selena & Brandi should do a number♪ -- nm - mud Nov 29, 14:28
