At least when people bag on my industry it's not te part I work for...and I usually agree with them. Though it does drive me batty when people get it wrong.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Being locked up in studio contrcts didn't help. Also not recognizing the had radically different customer bases. It's angry making to those of us on the online side. Management set us up for infighting.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay, Irish punk!
I think that's all I have to contribute right now. But I mean it!

Is it strange that I'd rather talk to you guys than my table of friends out back?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's all Netflix's fault. They made slavering fanboys (I'm one of them), and suddenly the world was a very different place.

I don't think it's their fault at all. I eat up all kinds of media. I think we did all the things I said above, and I think there's a place for everyone. Competition good!

I think the kind of people that are going to flock to Netflix are more likely to get territorial about the market space. You're going to get people who think it's important you like Blade Runner more than Serenity.
She says, entirely uncharitably. I don't think the average consumer cares where their movie came from, not passionately. The people who bother to hate Blockbuster or Redbox are probably some sort of avid side-chooser from way back.

Thanks for the smile!
I think you're right. I think there are people who will go to AMC because they want to see Arthur on Friday, and there are people who will go to Magnolia and see whatever's playing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm surprised I'm not more tired than I am, given that a) I stayed up until 11:30 to watch the championship game, b) I had trouble falling asleep, even with the Trazadone and c) I was awakened at 4:30 am by the storm.
And I have to get up early tomorrow for a dentist appointment. Whee.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
DJ, I think it's good you have both virtual and real shoulders to cry on, and I have definitely found Irish punk to be quite comforting myself.
