Sheen in Red Dawn. How come he was not in Outsiders? Did Cruise get his part? Prior to his big role in Platoon, then subsequent cake and eat it to work in Major League ( another Randy Quad sighting, which are usually good) Sheen built a solid resume- LUCAS, FERRIS, and even EIGHT MEN OUT. At $2 mm an episode, like Dave Chappelle said, they control you.. and Sheen went public in order to expose the inequities of CBS and Lorre. I just hope this hypothetical is not true.
HYPOTHETICAL
I FEEL BAD FOR CHARLIE. HE MUST HAVE KNOWN THAT SOMETHING WAS COMING... MAYBE A BLACK LIST... BUT THIS? THIS IS COLD.
OLD ILUMINATI RULE - NEVER EXPOSE THE PYRAMID, THE POWER.. NEVER SPEAK OUT OF TURN, AS AN ACTOR, NEVER SPEAK OR HAVE AN OPINION, BECAUSE YOU BRING THAT OPINION WITH YOU ON SCREEN. ACTORS MUST BE PUDDY... MOLDED INTO CHARACTERS.
I THINK THE NBC PIECE WAS WAY OVER THE TOP AND I AM SURPRISED LAUER ONLY GAVE HIM A BJ FOR 5 MINUTES , NOT LONGER.
I WONDER HOW MUCH CHARLIE HAD TO PAY NBC.... HOW MUCH YA THINK H HAD TO WIRE MAUER TO BUY HIM>??
IT WAS NOT THE TODAY SHOW, IT WAS THE CHARLIE SHEEN SHOW,.... STARRING.. CHARLIE!
WE WILL NEVER KNOW BECAUSE CHARLIE LEANED HIS LESSON, HE WOULD NOT RISK HIS KIDS...
We all know, being loyal readers of the gajonka, that a stock that trades at $8 is not inferior to a stock that trades at $888. In fact, most of the time, the $8 stock will be larger, and more valuable - defined by asst size.
Guess how much profit Apple made last year- after taxes? $53 billion
Guess how much long term debt Apple owes at the end of the same year? $53 billion
Google netted 14 b last year and only had $3 b in long term debt. You would think, excluding cash, that Google would be more valuable right?
Market Cap
AAPL 636 b
Goog 501 b
Facebook is sneaky, they redefine their long term debt- calling it other liabilities. So they enter 119 million (mm) as their long term (l.t.) debt figure, and assign $2.5 billion to the column titles "other liabilities" - this is a column that has grown from $305 mm to 1.5 b to 2.5 b, per their income statements.
FB net income last year = $2.9 billion. Note how much smaller that figure is relative to aapl and goog.
FB market cap: 294 billion
Wow- how do we decipher this? This is valuation defined.
Finally, Netflix, has been borrowing $500 million more every year. They netted 266mm in '14, and enjoy a $4 7 billion market cap... who knows why.
All stock charts have risen over the past two years. What goes up must come down.
Stamps.com is one company that has room to grow.
STMP 37mm net income
STMP $1.5b market cap
Compare that with facebook.
Finally, CRM, saleforce.com - this company has lost money over the past 3 years.., but the stock price keeps rising!!!
Credit due for this one - a huge laser weapon nestled along the equator, positioned on one side of the ice planet. Just Brilliant. The red streak we see as Ren watches ( see trailer)... that is the large laser unleashed by this baby. Very nice.
DARK SIDE HEADQUARTERS
Well, the first sketches of Snoke have been unleashed. Again, I don't know how I feel about this. We had Bossk ( see huge write up on him in the previous post), He-Man has King Hisss... and Cobra Khan, and a huge amount of snake people... plus Cobra Commander is a snake, well, he has 24 eyes scattered along, around his head, which is why he uses the cape - so he can show only 2 eyes. Notice a theme? That's right... the reptilian reveal is real. We have a strong alliance with aliens... and in particular the Greys and the reptilians.
Say hello to our new high lord leader! Darth Snoke! Oh boy.
Here's Serkis on Snoke, on 11-15-15: The scale of him, for instance, is one reason. He is large. He appears tall. And also just the facial design – you couldn’t have gotten there with prosthetics. It’s too extreme. Without giving too much away at this point, he has a very distinctive, idiosyncratic bone structure and facial structure. You could never have done it [in real life.] and... Supreme Leader Snoke is quite an enigmatic character, and strangely vulnerable at the same time as being quite powerful. Obviously he has a huge agenda. He has suffered a lot of damage. As I said, there is a strange vulnerability to him, which belies his true agenda, I suppose.
plus , there's this from Serkis when asked if Snoke had appeared anywhere in the canon/universe:
No, he’s a new character in this universe. It is very much a newly introduced character. He’s aware of what’s gone on, in the respect that he has been around and is aware of prior events. I think it’d be fair to say that he is aware of the past to a great degree.
Wow- this is a mind-blowing interview- thanks for the highly insight focused interview Andy, can you shovel the crap any more?
It's funny how large our ( Empire, First Order ) army of soldiers appears. Over 30 years we have given ourselves a new name, storm troopers a new look, and we have done well... under the rule of the new Sith Lord Snoke... and perhaps a little push from Luke. We are talking 30 years here, remember... still.. too many years wasted.
Phasma will be 86'd in Part 7. An easy kill to pair up with Solo's death, per Harrison Ford's terms to return. Phasma has "I am going to be the one of material cause that dies in Part 7.
We must recall, lots of toys will be sold, so Disney has teamed up with both Hasbro AND Mattel to get the money machine rolling. Look at this, a reptile face, they call him Zeb... but I have no idea who the heck this is:
Hasbro has this rebel ally for sale. He looks like one of Snoke's henchmen.
Toy lines always spoil so keep an eye on the toy lines... we were able to get a look at the Cobra Commander from Gi JOE ala Hasbro.
Does Ren wear a mask just because Vader did and there is no reason? Does he have an injury which the mask helps make him more comfortable around people? I don't like it. The look of the mask... could they have chosen something better? 30 years later and the innovative ideas hit the shitter.
Hmmm... have not seen this before.
Luke may have stepped over the the Dark Side and permitted the Empire to return to its former glory.
Luke
It appears Luke has joined the dark side and has been keeping things orderly by suppressing the rebellion... ( his sister?) and permitting the First Order to stock pile soldiers and build a massive star system weapon ( which apparently can wipe out star systems, but we only get a test as it blows up what's her name's castle.... are you kidding me? A castle? I thought this weapon is being billed as more powerful than the Death Star... why the heck are they using it for a job a few TIE fighters with bombs can do? I hope they can figure out a way to make this work...)
I had to... Vader has to be in all posts.
It makes sense... remember - the only reason why Star Wars has not done any post jedi films from 84 to 99 (15 years of no star wars). is because Harrison Ford wanted nothing to do with it. It took a little extra money to get Harrison on board for this... and his character's death was a requirement. So part 7 will be all Han, and Part 8 and 9 will give Luke his screen time. Mark Hamill has done voice worik because his teeth are horrible.. chippy and black.
Interesting... think about all the possibilities Disney had... they chose Abrams... fresh from Star Trek... and there is so much that could be done.. and it appears that very little has been done.
So be patient, Harrison Ford did not want to get involved with three films... and he will go out in style. Luke will be taking over the top billing after Han Solo's death.
Hey, Skip, let's go play catch! Wanna ice cream soda? Ya like Root Beer? What's that? Your name is General Hux and you have an important position in the hihger elite levels of the Empire... and all of this with a look of a 14 year old??? really? Well, thanks for sharing.
Another guy who will be the focus of all three films, in his case, is General Hux, who looks like he is 15 years old! Great! I guess they think he will grow int the role as a film will be released every 2 years. Captain Phasma looks like an easy kill and she will be the big casualty on the dark side. Can't wait to find out why the heck she is wearing that silly shiny chrome outfit... if it is better why don't we see more of them. If you noticed the soldiers dressed in black in the big army pic...those are TIE fighter pilots. They have a sh** load of them!
Just released today, a look at Snoke.. so much for keeping the truth about our relationship with aliens under wraps. Hwood, in the most anticipated film in 20 years, had to include some love for our rulers.
Well, we bring it back to snoke. I just hope he is deadly. Also, I see no reason why they cant bring back Darth Vader.. or at least his outfit and mask. Plus, we should see a Boba fett cameo... and if we don't they are just stupid.
Below is an okay trailer for the dark side. The idiot uses phantom menace music until getting right at 0.54. Enjoy. I still love the Ren walking and lighting the sabre as he walks in the snowy forest.
Here's an OK trailer, th e proper music applied at 0.54
Why are we forced to have to listen to these guys talk their fu%$^ing heads off all game?
It's time. I mean, it IS 2015.
Ever get angry, irritated, aggravated, annoyed, bothered, disturbed, sometimes even enraged, soured, or even vexed when watching a sports game- a moment of what should be comfortable entertainment?
Well, it has been bothering me for YEARS! I cannot take it anymore, and I know, I just know I will be helping others - improving the experiuence of the majority of viewers who feel that the announcing has become a sport in itself... and that humans are not that stupid, we can figure it out.
SOUNDS OF THE GAME ["SOTG"}
The SOTG button will eliminate the announcers feed and give you the sounds of the ballpark or arena. We will have mikes planted aeverywhere, even the mikes used for the broadcast that they kill only to use when giving us highlights. We will hear the crowd, we will hear the umpires, and ast tie we can even hear the players or the teammates on the bench. We will still get the animated visuals, all of the bells and whistles that come with a broadcast-but no talking, no announcers.
It will be like if you stepped into the arena ... but instread all you have done is stepped into your living room.
