HipPriest, to moviesandtv in Donald Trump To Screen ‘Sound Of Freedom’ At Bedminster Club

I'm reading a book about QAnon at the moment and this sounds like their sort of bs

CmdrShepard,

I’ve been listening to the latest QAnonAnonymous episode and they covered the movie since Jim Caviezel is a huge QAnon nutter.

The opening scene of the movie is a couple of kids getting kidnapped by someone proclaiming to run a pageant show and I couldn’t help but recall how Trump ran Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe pageants and bragged about walking around the dressing rooms and seeing the contestants completely nude because he was the owner and there was nothing they could do to stop him.

Funny how QAnons don’t ever bring up that fact all the while they try to shoehorn human trafficking conspiracies into everything they talk about.

HipPriest,

Trump ran Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe pageants and bragged about walking around the dressing rooms and seeing the contestants completely nude because he was the owner and there was nothing they could do to stop him.

The guy just can't get any worse the more I hear about him. Jesus.

He's the most unlikely hero for any movement, anywhere, ever. But we are where we are. Have you seen those Ben Garrison cartoons where Trump is drawn to have the physique of superman? It's all madness

Bought my ticket for Friday’s showing on Tuesday. Super excited. Tom may be nuts, but I think he’s proved he can repeatedly make damn good blockbuster movies.

Time for a year or two of the worlds worst reality shows you can imagine! Wonder if the studios are going to stick with the “wait until they’re homeless” plan if actors are now also out

Just reading that execs were debating on releasing that to Deadline and surprise, it backfired. They thought it would scare writers, but of course it just turned everyone against them.

Pay your people a fair wage.

Oh no! Anyways.

Oh boy, between the writers strike and actors strike we are in for a year of reality shows being shoved out the door…

Time for me to watch all the shows I’ve been putting off. If waiting a year or two means writers can make a fair wage then I can rewatch Seinfeld.

Our Redbox kiosks are in high-traffic locations where millions of people frequently shop, such as grocery stores or value retailers.

TIL Redbox is owned by Chicken Soup for the Soul.

sramder, to news in Redbox And TikTok Set Deal For Videos To Stream On 3,000 Kiosks

Praise Jebus! It’s only 10% of of their kiosks.

That’s a crossover I didn’t see coming

LillyPip, to news in Redbox And TikTok Set Deal For Videos To Stream On 3,000 Kiosks

This was my first reaction to the article as well. The only one around me suddenly vanished a few months ago.

I almost used one when our internet was down for 2 weeks and we only had 3 DVDs lol

I frequently see them in places where people of lower income shop. I guess because they can’t afford a setup for a streaming service or don’t know how to do it? I’m not sure. It seems like it would be more expensive.

Doombot1, to worldnews in Redbox And TikTok Set Deal For Videos To Stream On 3,000 Kiosks

I can’t believe Redbox still even exists at this point… let alone >3000 of the things.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Eh, I like it sometimes. Renting a movie digitally costs $5+, renting that same movie from Redbox costs ~$2 and I don’t need to give up my info to some online service. it’s a little annoying going there physically, but I also have the option of ripping it from the DVD and watching it later (legality may vary, YMMV).

So online rentals are more expensive and less privacy-friendly. That’s enough for me to favor Redbox.

thejml,

It’s the only place left to get a physical BluRay and they’re only for $2 instead of a stream for $5+.

SheeEttin,

I was going to make some comment about how long it would be to come out ahead since I would also have to buy a Blu-ray player, but turns out the cheapest ones are like $35, and probably even less used. So it would be like 12 movies for it to make sense.

I’d still rather just hit a button on my phone and have it play than have a separate player and have to go get discs.

TheCelticPirate,

They do well in rural areas that have little to no internet options.
