I mean yea they had to do something historically unprecedented which breaks the competitive balance of the sport in order to stop choking in the playoffs, that's why everyone hates them now 😂

There are few more egregious examples of the inefficiencies of capitalism than the existence of Netflix.

It's fine though, because I'm sure they'll keep growing their subscribe count forever so their stock valuation will keep rising with it. This seems reasonable, I think!

Two months after its streaming release, a singalong version of KPop Demon Hunters made $19M in two days on only 1700 US screens, less than half what a full wide release gets now.

The Demon Slayer movie has been way less culturally impactful and it made $650M at the theater to date!

Jerry Bruckheimer produces two Beverly Hills Cop films which make $300M+ in the '80s ($850M+ today). His legacy sequel goes direct to Netflix and is immediately forgotten about.

He does an F1 movie with Apple and it makes $600M+

Martin Scorsese is debatably the greatest director of all time. Netflix buried The Irishman, refusing to give it a wide release, and it only made $8M pre-covid.

Apple gave Killers of the Flower Moon (a far harder sell) a wide release and it made almost $160M for Apple.

Kathryn Bigelow and Guillermo del Toro directed the Best Picture winners of 2009 and 2017, respectively. Each made >3x their budgets at the box office.

Both have new films this month with >80% scores on RT. Netflix is burying both w/ limited releases and refusing to disclose box office receipts.

Netflix's inflated stock valuation is based on the false belief that they'll someday kill the entire theater business, so they intentionally set money on fire by refusing to put things in theaters that would otherwise generate tens of millions of dollars in supplemental revenue.

Capitalism, baby!

Netflix’s chief content officer Bela Bajaria says the ‘STRANGER THINGS’ series finale will not be released in theaters.

“A lot of people have watched ‘Stranger Things’ on Netflix... I think releasing it on Netflix is giving the fans what they want”

Roofman was great. Buried under the silly true story adaption is a surprisingly deep character study deconstructing humanity's need to connect w/ other people as a means of survival.

Also it's funny! And very sweet. Tatum and Dunst are fantastic. Stay for the credits.

So a guy who was a non factor this year and a guy who was a non factor in the 2020 regular season.

You see my point tho, right? Like it's a *very* different team. Definitely more different than the Mets are then vs 2020.

I mean they're a completely different team now, no? Outside of Betts, Will Smith, Kershaw (lol) and Treinen (also lol), is there anyone notable on this roster who was with the team in 2020?

It's felt like the org's been moving in the direction of "buy as many arms as you can and take the best of who's left at year's end". Some guys will be out for the season (Gonslin), are fresh from only pitching half a season (Snell, Glasnow), can be moved to the pen (Sasaki) or are just dumped (May)

They had 10 players make 7+ starts this season but only one throw 120+ innings. They trade a 100+ win regular season team for one w/ bottomless arms in the playoffs.

Feel like this is gonna be the model other big market teams try to chase, unfortunately

I think that's all part of political "talent" in the literal sense, and he's a generational talent in that regard. Like deadass, I've never seen anybody do this as well as he has. It's kind of incredible lol

Lol yea that's a great name. And agreed it's sad they never replaced it. Admittedly feels kinda gross that MLB has been chasing gambling money in Vegas for years but has seemingly abandoned a state where a plurality of its young people are Black

So apparently there's no professional baseball of any kind in the state of Louisiana?

No minor leagues, no independent leagues, just 3 of the 6 teams in a LA-TX collegiate summer league.

Feels like a thing that MLB should try and remedy, no?

The argument I'd always seen is that the one knee stance was about helping w: framing, which always drove me nuts every time I'd see a catcher get crossed up and be unable to block the ball because of it.

But if the benefit is really to their health? Yea that's totally fair. No complaints from me.
