Can't argue that. I have zero issues with them making alternate versions for China or any other place that they want to make money. The worry, of course, is that as Six Sigma style practices invade every industry and everything becomes homogenized. Eventually, it will not be profitable to make alternate versions for everybody and like everything else in life, things we watch will become "dumbed down" to the lowest common denominator and we'll be stuck watching things that were made for China.

Hard to ever say "it's official" because numbers seem to be able to be added and taken away from the tally at whim with no explanation, but these numbers have not changed for a while.
It looks like Joker wins.
Joker Total Worldwide Box Office: $1,074,251,311

Rise of Skywalker Total Worldwide Box Office: $1,074,144,248

What a close race. Those numbers are insane.
If it hadn't been so terrible and got the repeat viewings expected from a Star Wars property, it would have beaten Joker a month before everything was shut down, so I'm not going to give it an asterisk.
Looks like this somehow even went under the YouTube nerd's radar with everything else going on. I wonder if anybody is ever going to catch it and report on it. Don't hold your breath for anybody in the Legacy and Access Media to ever let you know it happened.

The nerds on YOUTUBE have moved on, now they're complaining about how bad "Picard" and Dr. Who are. Ep. 9 is now in their rear view mirrors and getting smaller.

Is it just me, or have most of them become extremely annoying?
I've actually unsubbed and even blocked the content from a lot of them already after letting them know that they had better diversify their topics or look forward to their 15 minutes of fame running out.
I still watch The Quartering on occasion and heckle him for his sponsors, but I've already blocked Geeks and Gamers and Nerdrotic among a few others. At some point they start sounding just as bad as the people they're criticizing.
Something especially rubs me the wrong way about that Nerdrotic guy. I didn't really notice it until I saw a livestream of his that was just awful. The dude is a huge dick, especially when you see him talk to people on a full live stream that he doesn't edit. Once you've seen that, it's hard not to notice it on all of his videos.
I much prefer channels like RedLetterMedia, Cinema Snob, Nostalgia Critic, FanboyFlicks, SomeOrdinaryGamers, Ryan George, and a few others that aren't popping up in my head. They love giving shit, but they're much more even handed about it so they don't come off as whiny little bitches living in their mom's basement.
I prefer the "South Park" mentality. Give everybody shit, because everybody deserves getting shit.

I agree BUT, if you want to know what the nerds are thinking and saying, those are the nerds. They've become the voices of the fandom, we need nerds like them to stand up to the industry. Love or hate Doomcock, he's a fan like us, and like us, he's pissed. You have to admit, they've gotten the industries attention, REVENGE OF THE NERDS!!

Sure... I won't argue that.
I'm just not going to watch it anymore either. These people are making a ton of money themselves now. I'm sure they've got a built in audience that's going to watch every single video they put out, regardless of what my opinion is. But I've only got enough time in my life to watch videos about what a garbage human being Brie Larson is, and I've met my quota for my lifetime on that topic. I'm glad that Jeremy from TheQuartering was able to buy a his Brie Shed that is larger than a few of the apartments I used to rent out back of his giant house though.

Just when I thought this thread would just curl up and die...there's a rift between Disney CEO Lord Iger and Lucasfilm. Turns out the that dictator Kennedy has OK'd a new STAR WARS series that takes place in an alternate time line that stars an all female cast run by a woman who was Harvey Weinstein's assistant who is a douche, she has already deleted a bunch of tweets. You'll have to go to YOUTUBE for details because the entertainment press has been ignoring this story.

Apparently the Bobs ( Iger and Chapek ) aren't thrilled with the new Russian Doll gal. The #JediKarens idea is about the last straw w/ these people. Even for Disney, enough just might be enough.
