Basically nothing of value to anyone.

You call in and if you get through you talk to a staffer or intern making shit money who doesn’t care they just have to be there to answer phones and emails.

They are in theory supposed to take note of it and inform the proper people but it’s just a placebo for the people calling in. Nothing happens.

McDonalds cares more that a customer would call and complain than your rep.

Also fun stuff a lot of calls and e-mails are generally from the same people over and over and over. So they know who these people are and hate them. literally the same People over and over. Also they get plenty of true crazies who call regularly asking why the rep won’t do things about aliens taking over their brain. Not kidding at all. Crazy people call a lot. A lot.

“Regular” people don’t really call or write. It’s a unique crowd and they do it over and over. It has no value except an intern having to deal with it.

This probably should have had conditions attached. I haven’t reviewed the case though.

Lots of times vertical integration is allowed easily though (for complex business reasons)

This was all working just as it is now even before the Live Nation merger. The merger didn't help the situation, but its not like it was any different before, because it wasn't.

There's not necessarily a good alternative, but thats not really whats at the heart of the situation here, it more has to do with how the deals are made and big time artists juice their deals and ticketmaster eats the shit for it. Not that ticketmaster isn't a piece of shit and scam, they are, but the artists are not innocent, nor are they ignorant of whats happening, either, they are happily complicent (again except Robert Smith)

You're missing a big part. Most acts go with ticketmaster because they make more money with them, than any alternative, especially for big acts, particularly big acts.

Ticketmaster takes the hit and shit, and the artist appears clean, but anyone who knows the business is laughing because the artist specifically is doing it to make more money and just pretending otherwise. Robert Smith of the Cure though is fucking pissed, they lied to him it appears

No

Sometimes a person comes into your life or circle for a brief time and then goes in another direction. As is life. If anything this is a very real portrayal

Yes very much so. You should also watch the documentary O.J.: Made in America as the show is an acted out version of the trial, while the doc gives you a lot of the background and real world details. You won't be dissapointed in either

No one is watching MLS so, it didn't really matter for them did it? Viewership is basically zero and selling ads against it is zero. In 10 years the Apple deal may make sense, but thats a long time away

Andor isnt very star wars. Its more like WWII style resistance and very slow burn, set in the star wars universe. Its good but it could drag fairly hard if you aren't that invested.

Mandalorian really relies on you being a star wars fan or at least someone who cares as a lot of it is callbacks, but otherwise is a episodic western

You're asking about stealth, but lets describe it easy.

Think about radar cross section like this: I put on a blind fold and I throw a ball forward. If it hits anything, it bounces back, so I know there is at least something there. If I throw it and it doesn't come back, I can assume there is nothing there. thats how radar works, but with radio waves, not a ball.

The radar cross section, is basically like if there was a moving target when I throw the ball. Except instead of one ball, I throw like a hundred. With a hundred balls, I can hit it easily if its big, but lets say its super tiny, like the size of a bee, its gonna be way hard to hit, so I may never even know its there.

Ok, but even those hundred balls, eventually I will know its there, say 1 in every 1000 balls hits it but its gonna be really hard to figure out where its going and whats happening when only 1/1000 balls hit it.

JK Rowling has said some statements regarding trans people that some people consider disparaging.

Thats it. Thats all.

She's a massive celebrity's, so the story just keeps going anytime anyone mentions Harry Potter or trans people its a super easy narrative for any media org or person just to toss out her name.

It is the same time everywhere.

We just make up what time it is to make our lives easier. There is no particular reason that we need to use any specific time anywhere or all can't be on the same exact clock everywhere. We choose to do it because it can be useful.

Lets say we all agree that noon is when the sun is highest in the sky. No matter where you are, when the sun is highest, its noon. Of course noon in New York, is gonna be hours behind noon in London. This is how it works now, more or less.

But what if we didn't care where you were on earth?. What if noon was when the sun was highest in London, and everyone else used London time. For New York, the sun will be lower. But it would still be noon

Does any of it matter? Does it matter that the sun is lower in New York and its noon? Couldn't people in new york just say start their day at 1pm instead of 8am, then go to bed at like 3am?

It helps slow down a story that may be moving too fast and bring it back to an emotional state vs. an action one. It lets us take a different look at certain characters with new info.

We should also be aware, these are often used to highlight a particular actor giving them an episode to star in, especially if they are not the main star or only one of many.

MLB Opening Day March 30th! Every team is playing on opening day this year

>Basically when I watch his movies I'm like "I dunno what am I seeing but I like it a lot". No other director has that effect on me.

David Cronenberg and his son Brandon Cronenberg (who recently released Infinity Pool) both also use that type of filmmaking style, although they use it very differently. Like a world different. Might want to check them out if you want to get the same feeling

Read some basic screenwriting books like Save the Cat, which is basically -the- book every single person writing in hollywood reads and every good reviewer has read 10 times

Watch it till the end. Just keep going, there's still lots of good stuff to go, they just do enough stupid things to get you mad.

If you want to negotiate for the new film cut you can. It takes a lot of effort to deal with this type of stuff, so most distributors on both sides don't wanna re-tread over it as the extended editions and other cuts usually come out much later than the theatrical cuts, plus its gonna be expensive. You can include them in the original deal, but like again, its gonna be expensive.

The value of alternate cuts to streaming services is likely minimal. You might see it more likely as a PPV (aka TVOD), since thats a rev share instead of a purchase

Theres also a lot of contractual issues and MFNs to deal with

Yellowstone is Sons of Anarchy, but cowboys instead of motorcycles

English language dubs are often done poorly, especially on older anime content.

Just for more completeness, while there is an insane amount of anime produced in asia, only a small sliver of that makes it to the west, but even then, a lot of it is subs-only anyways, so there isn't even a dub option

Actually you can see a study below I posted, while I was making jest, in this recent study, only 2% of 65+ year olds pirated. Thats super low as you can see from the other age groups

I linked a thing above that only about 2% of 65+ do digital piracy, so its not zero, but its a really small amount, give or take 0.005% of overall 18+ group. We'd expect over time as more people age into that group it will change, but this is where it currently stands.

This is how you do analysis. You look at the data and see what additional insights you can draw, you evaluate your original assumption and update it from the new data.

For example, we have what is likely an outlier group here (we actually probably have 2, 1 young 1 old). And you look at what the data looks like without the outlier. Does this provide more insight? Is there something unusual about the group you excluded that makes it necessary or not necessary to include. What do these separated data tell you now? Was this group just padding "no's"? Were they even relevant to ask or should we assume they never were going to be "yes's".

Its one step of many to the next iteration of analysis and research.

Additionally, its pretty common to bucket out 18-64 in a lot of research, especially things like media (media often uses 18-54, 55+, or 65+). Even moreso, we have a pretty good understanding of the 65+ group in media much more than younger groups in how they consume and spend on media (there's lots to say here but its getting deep technical).

In otherwords, there isn't juicing, what you want to do is see what the hell is happening, and adjusting the data to look at it from different angles is one step and seeing where things fit.

65+ are far less likely to engage in digital priacy.

Here's a study example showing only 2% of 65+ are involved in digital piracy. In other words, a significant part of our "no" category is likely coming from this particular group. This also shows piracy leans towards younger audiences, for example in this survey, a 18-29 year old is 10x more likely to engage in piracy than a 65+ gives us a lot of indication that the 65+ audience isn't a major factor and we may be able to get better insight if we exclude them
