Too much water under the bridge, for me. I refuse to support anything Disney.

Don't know. Don't care. I don't give money to people who hate me, any more.

Yes. I find it much more attractive when channels are low key about supporting them. Those channels I go out of my way to support, directly. If they hit me with ads on top of the YouTube ads, I won't part with a nickel.

@snakedogman With all the gimmicks they've got to show any kind of visual they please, you'd think they could show a fight scene without shaky cam and a million cuts. Watching Bruce Lee in a cheap Hong Kong flick, using one camera on a tripod capturing the action, is much more satisfying. Watching Buster Keaton is much more satisfying.

I guess you're too young to remember Thor from the comic books.

"Talented performers taking actual risks to produce spectacular performances." Yeah. That's exactly what Hollywood never does. That's why the outtakes of a Jackie Chan movie are as entertaining as the movies, themselves. That was JACKIE jumping from building to building and breaking his ankle on the landing. Dude wore a cast with a sneaker painted on it to finish the film.

@trapenoone6904 I think torrenting is chicken-shit theft. It's people like you who make the world a worse place. You don't like a movie company so you steal its shit? Very noble.

@letsfindsomepeace9207 I gave up on the theater experience a long time ago. You've always gotta put up with the rudest person(s) in the audience, which ruins the immersion in the film. I'd rather watch it on a big-screen at home.

@llla_german_ewoklll6413 I think the coof was the straw that broke the back of more than one mass-media paradigm. A lot of t.v. and movies relies on momentum from previous eras when they were the only game in town and movie-going was a cultural phenomenon. I don't think the mass audiences even exist any more, at least not to be herded into a room full of strangers to watch a movie.

@jojosoni6355 Staying in schedule is because of their whole money-making paradigm being so messed-up. Movie makers need to take a longer view, but the studio system is all about quick profits. I'm hoping to see a new wave of independent labors of love that out-class what the Hollywood model is capable of producing. There's a definite convergence between the production values of the big studios and what a team of independents can create, without the time and money pressures that plague Hollywood and reduce all that potential to mind-numbing shallowness.

@mrknarf4438 I agree. Now action scenes are choreographed by couch potatoes raised on animé.

@shanehackett4683 Senators and politicians in general have made themselves too useful. That's the real problem. The best thing politicians could do for us is to leave us the fuck alone and quit killing us with all their "help."

I like Tom Holland, but they still haven't cast Spiderman the way he was depicted in comics when I was growing up. To do it right would take more of a Robert Downey, Jr kind of smart-ass, not the earnest and nerdy Toby Maguire or Tom Holland types. Peter Parker was a total cynical smart-ass, who treated his friends well and DGAF what anybody else thought.
