Ever since Episodes IV through VI were released, Lucasfilm and Disney has tried almost everything to create a new, memorable cultural moment. They finally did it.
My one-day review of Disney+
So, I got a free year subscription to Disney+ from Verizon. My review after one day, if you love Disney or have young children, you will probably love it.
However, if you're looking for diverse content, then you will have to bundle it with other streaming services like Hulu or Netflix. I see myself getting tired of it after 6 months or so.
--On Edit--
If you have Verizon FIOS or have unlimited data on Verizon wireless, you may be eligible for one free year of Disney+.
Is Martin Scorsese right?
when he said that Marvel movies are not cinema. I tend to agree with him, but I would go further. What we're seeing is the corporatization of movies, and I'd throw music in there as well.
Everything is predictable. Give the audience exactly what it wants to maximize profits and minimize risks. That's not to say that the Marvel movies are not entertaining in their own way. They are, but I don't want EVERY movie to be nothing more than duplicates. I love pizza, but I don't want to eat it every night.

Capitalism Didn't Make the iPhone, You iMbecile
PSA: Nurses who work in America's Emergency rooms across America work harder and are far
more important than any single billionaire that got lucky with one or two ideas and used our broken economic system to enrich themselves beyond any reasonable measure.
So, I ask you to think about nurses if you find yourself feeling any empathy towards billionaires and their tax burdens.
Frank Sinatra once told Donald Trump to "go f*** himself"
Don't know if this was posted already, but I just found it:
Old Blue Eyes was due to perform at the opening of Mr Trump’s Atlantic City casino in 1990 when the magnate was said to have told him his costs were “a little rich”. On hearing the news, Sinatra gave his manager Elliot Weisman - who has written the new book - two options, either to pass his message to Mr Trump or give him his number and he would do it himself.
According to Weisman’s book, Mr Trump also cut the support acts including Sinatra’s dying friend Sammy Davis Jr.
