  • 'Napoleon' is a hit with the box office, but not so much with critics

    darkvader said:
    Main takeaway from this article:  Ridley Scott is a dick.

    And apparently he needs to stick to scifi and stay away from history.  Nobody cares if Alien movies are historically accurate.
    Nobody truly cares if this is historically accurate, outside of history professors and some French film critics. We want to see the spectacle, the huge battlefield sequences that Scott is known for, and want to see Phoenix ham it up. That’s all. Nobody cared that Gladiator wasn’t note for note historically accurate. Good on Ridley for telling them to p*ss off, and come to think of it Adam Driver for doing the same when his film Ferrari got a ridiculous critique…we need more of that from the talent.

  • Apple TV+ cancels Uma Thurman thriller 'Suspicion'

    I didn't know their series even existed.  I do like Uma Thurman, but knowing the series already ended, do I want to get invested in watching this?
    It was insanely stupid, but entertaining. If you’re desperate to watch something, then yes go for it. But if your tv viewing plate is full, zero need to add this to it.

  • Peacock is jacking up prices for both new and existing customers

    This is happening across seveal consumer subscritoion industries: Obama phones, subscriptions, Netflix, Amazon  Prime, Water, Electricity Gas you name it.   Why you ask?  Because they are giving away or 50% reduction to lazy people who choose not to work.   Those of us who bust our backs to support ourselves are now also paying for the lazy.    Fact Check it.

    The only thing I’m fact-checking is if you’re a clown or not, and yep, there it is right there. It’s true.

  • Fatal helicopter crash likely caused by dropped iPad

    cia said:
    To al those commenting, the headline was changed shortly after AppleZulu commented to what it currently reads.  Earlier the headline said something to the effect of "Helicopter crash caused by iPad".  Adding the word "dropped" changed the tone dramatically.
    Would’ve been nice for AI to add an “edited” tag or something to the new headline then instead of letting the dude get roasted for his comment now that the headline was fixed.

  • Apple TV+ wants to stream Germany's top football league

    sflagel said:
    The Bundesliga? The most boring football league in all of Europe? Unless Apple plans to use its financial might and global footprint to restructure it to make it more interesting, no one will tune in. Premier League is the only truly competitive league. 
    It’s literally not? Defense is a dirty word in the Bundesliga, so the games are fast paced back and forth affairs. Nothing boring at all about that league.
