This is such a high leverage regular season game that I can literally say, according to ESPN Analytics numbers:

Sean McVay's decision to take a delay of game instead of going for reduced the Rams chance to win the Super Bowl by 0.16%.

In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.

just try to make stuff that moves you

that’s really all that matters

you can’t worry about the outside response

you gotta just focus on how you feel about the thing you’re making

if you think it’s good and cool then it’s a success

No way this is actually true, is it? They don't even have a few dozen crap movies from the 70's?
Netflix has 21 movies available from before 1980. Netflix is not in any way a film library or archive.
The Hitchcock films Netflix added in June have been held over for July.

Plus, they added 3 pre-1980 movies + retained 11 others.

That brings Netflix’s pre-1980 total to 21, the highest it's been in a while.

Small detail for movie set in the future like 25-100 years:

Everyone has like 50% more plastic surgery in television shows and movies than they do now.

Cut to guy watching TV and the people on the screen have crazy jawlines, enormous cheekbones, etc.
