To add to that, Star Wars isn't a big deal in China anyway, and never has been. The original film came out less than a year after Mao died at the very beginning of the Dengist period and was not screened in the mainland. Because of that, there is zero nostalgia for the two or three actually good films that powered the west through decades and decades of awful worthless Star Wars movies. John Boyega being in some of those movies has nothing to do with their lack of popularity in China.

Yeah video game movies might be the next big thing. The Pentagon will absolutely help fund a shitload of Call of Duty films at the very least - they already send advisors to consult for the games. Any Hollywood executive would greenlight that series immediately just based on all of the free US govt funding it would get.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I leapt from Marx's forehead like Athena
Updates for the OS yes, but lots of new software features no. For example, the iPhone 11 never got the software update for making Face ID work with a mask on, despite being the new phone through most of 2020. There’s always a bunch of random software features not released for older phones, but the Face ID mask update being only for the newer phones was fucking criminal.
Yeah what is with all the sours these days? I like a good dry cider now and then, but every beer sour I’ve ever had was just awful.
Proof that these cars are made for cops.
And the slightly wobbly streets will slow down the car drivers. Straight and even grids are fine for trams and horses, but they're turned into racetrack murder zones if you let cars on them.
Movies are proletarian and one of the cheapest public communal activities you can do outside the house with friends/family/people you just met. Go out and collectively experience some films with a mixed crowd of strangers and loved ones, comrades. In this capitalist world you will struggle to find a going-out activity that costs less.
At least that's how it works in theory. In practice, I hope you like assembly-line superhero computer animated visual catastrophies, because that's all that hyper-financialized Hollywood is making, and there are no indie art house cinemas in the average suburban hellhole.
