Reply to I blew my previous record out of the water and saw 89 newly released films in a cinema this year. How many did you see? by TheRealClose
One (Maverick), shortly to be Two (Avatar).
In total I've watched close to 100 films this year as its my job.
I don't think you and I have similar tastes.

It's a way of avoiding luxury taxes and also keeping player salaries lower on per year basis.

I'm going to use this phrase a lot.

Yeah, Bama playing Clemson again for the title this season will be....what now?
Perennial underachievers Michigan and USC are likely in? What madness is this?
/I think the expansion is great. Don't be shocked when the same names keep reappearing tho.

I'm sorry you think Bama v Ohio State is boring.
I too hate seeing the best version of this game.

I'm in the film industry, mainly advising film finance and distribution entities these days, usually independent films from $2-$40M budget. I occasionally work with larger studios on P&A deals. I watch at least 3 films a week for most of the year, so I've probably seen over 100 in 2022. One that stood out for me was 'EO' a wonderful Polish film starring a donkey.
I truly truly hated 'Maverick' ; a soulless piece of inane propaganda, as much for Boomer values as for the military, and I generally like slick action films. I felt nothing but rage after it.
