I love that the Star Wars shows are basically being directed by totally unexpected people. They got Peter ramsey (Into he Spider-verse), Lee Isaac Chung (Minari), and Rachel Morrison (the DP on Black Panther) for Mando season 3. An absolutely awesome assortment of people

Reply to comment by AhhBisto in How are you liking Season 3 of The Mandalorian so far? by esran7
Mandalore stuff is great. Grogu stuff is whatever- honestly wish they had the balls to keep him with jedi training as it doesn't add much to the story anymore. I do enjoy seeing the new republic being incompetent with bureaucracy as well. They've set up quite a bit of runway for the rise of the first order.

And the quintessential role of the president's daughter in Independence day.

still pissed that the one movie that we get Jackie Chan to fight Jet li in a Hollywood film and it's in a movie about a fucking white kid who has a dream about becoming a kung fu master and hooking up with a hot asian chick.

Technically had funimation too, but they merged it with crunchy.

Instantpot some bone broth. Throw it on when you leave for work and when you get back you can warm it up and throw some ramen noodles in

Bad Batch is basically just a side continuation of Clone Wars. I'm mostly OK with that cause Clone Wars is fun to watch and the lore is really great (when it focuses on that). Echo is basically gonna be Daredevil Season 3.5 to facilitate "New" Daredevil into the MCU web.
That said, if we get more Andor type projects, I'm all for it- no one asked for that and it's arguably the best thing Disney+ has produced

But also should blame the CEO types of those VFX companies for taking on said impossible deadlines. They're also at fault for just piling up a bunch of shit on their employees and intentionally taking a low bid in order to get the prestige for the work.

Maybe giving them a lower budget will force them to actually get creative lol

They were pretty far ahead of their time with peer to peer payments, especially in the US. Made it also a lot easier for people to exchange cash for goods in the eBay type e-commerce space. Not a lot of companies had those abilities. Hell the fucking banks in the US didn't want to start direct ach payments until Zelle became a thing. They've since expanded their services to a couple different arms in tech.

It's actually a really fantastic cheese to use for cheese sauces in a pinch because American cheese is made with sodium citrate, which emulsifies the cheeses together, so its perfect for something like macaroni and cheese or a mornay sauce. Granted a restaurant of their caliber might straight up have sodium citrate.

was soft banned by specific states or cities for the most part. For example, in the bay area in California, it's been banned from sale for almost 20ish years. This law would make it a national thing.

there's a subtle fishy taste given it's fish, but it's eaten primarily for texture. A good imitation is literal gelatin strips. So if you've eaten just some plain gelatin before, that's basically it (that's why they're used as imitation sharks fin). I'd say the key difference is that sharks fin does have a slightly softer overall texture (so not as ridged as gelatin), but also has crunchier pieces like cartilage (because that's pretty much what it is).
It's just a status symbol at this point because it's expensive to get. Similar to Bird's nest where the stuff is rare and hard to get, but mostly doesn't taste of anything unique.

If they're just the distributors then it's mostly fine. They've done pretty decently in most markets and hulu has been Disney's anime distribution arm stateside for a while. I think the only thing they could legit screw with is the subtitle translations.

Should have taken Fox while it was up for grabs. Easily could have outbid Disney and Comcast and would have given them the IP they need for their streaming service

If Jobs was still alive it might legitimately have been a thing. Jobs and Iger and Disney have been intertwined heavily for a long time. But once Jobs passed it probably stopped being a thing on the table

Thanks Quesada!
Thankfully it looks like Marvel is letting Hickman go wild and hickman's Xmen/mutant revival story is fantastic.
