I suspect the short prison sentence is because he flipped on the people above him.

Netflix is pretty much nothing now except foreign reality TV. Thank you for reminding me I need to cancel them and Hulu.

Being married and getting paid opposite weeks, gpay is essentially the only google offering I am in no hurry to break free from.

Though it would be nice to see competition in the space.

Terrence Malick is not best known for a film about a sociopathic killing spree.

Whoever this journalist is, they are uncultured swine.

Isn't this movie like 17 years old?

About 10 years ago it was probably closer to 80% IPAs. It was a big joke here that IPA stands for I Pretend (I'm not an) Alcoholic.

The only reason there is more on the market now is because we all stopped pretending the taste of motor oil with grapefruit gave us a better buzz.

Even now, most breweries will only seem to offer 4 varieties of IPAs, a pilsner/lager and a stout. Maybe an Amber but I feel the Mac & Jack's copycat scene has mostly died out now.

Stop being a cop and get into private security for all the rich folks he just peacocked for.

If we let conservatives ban 1984, they will be forced to stop pretending they have read it, and comparing everything irrelevant to it, while we can still illegally access it.

Something to think.about.

Is something lost in translating 100 Years of Solitude from Spanish into English?

Absolutely?

Are there many books originally written in English that are better than the English translation of 100 Years of Solitude?

Very very few, actually.

Except this isnt a random person looking to get famous. This is a well respected journalist and editor represented by established publishing houses and a respected law firm.

I hate saying it because its an obvious statement, but he literally wrote the book on the subject.

If people are being interviewed specifically because they previously participated as a source in a book and they are provoked to give the same specific anecdotes they gave to the original author, just to get around paying a fee, then the original author's work is still being adapted.

I think what probably happened is Apple refused to greenlight production with the author's involvement. He might be the specific editor of gizmodo that Apple had swatted about 10 years ago, accusing gizmodo of espionage.
