In most cases the outcomes have been settlements, most farmers simple can't afford to sustain the fight. I think there have been some that made it through the court system and ended up working against the farmers.

I haven't read this whole report, but I read the relevant section starting on page 29. It was sourced from this Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/feb/12/monsanto-sues-farmers-seed-patents

Pig is a really unique and fun movie. John Wick meets Top Chef, or something like that...

Are you saying that we should have Allowlists vs. Denylists for types of gun violence that are acceptable? This seems to be the fundamental premise upon which we disagree....

From my POV, intention is immaterial because there are no 'good' gun deaths, so splitting hairs has no values.

It sounds to me like you're saying if you go to a mall and have a mass shooting in a totally sober state, that's bad, but if you get hopped up on bath salts and then have a good old fashioned shotgun rampage, that's ok and we shouldn't count those ones....

Apple licenses the content from the creators -- that's true of almost every network and many film distributors as well.

Few distributors make their content in house. 'Netflix Original ' doesn't mean it was made by 'Netflix Studios' -- they don't exist. What happened was (for a series) that either a complete season or a pilot was shopped around, and Netflix bought the (exclusive) rights, which made that piece of content a Netflix Original. For films, they have usually already been made and are in a limited theatrical run (eg. Festivals) or are being shopped around privately. I imagine a limited few have distribution deals made prior to production, but that's still not 'Netflix' (or Apple) making that content.

Apples launch content (eg. Ted Lasso) was produced to prop up the platform, but the method by which that content was discovered, funded and then licensed is not much different from how a traditional network (like NBC) might function.

Not a remake, but there's a sequel on the way... I'm not super hopeful but maybe I'll be surprised? Flashback did get a remaster and release on (at least) Switch, but i found the controls unintuitive and dissatisfying. It was a bummer.

Technically true, but it needs to be non militarized, can't purchase the missile mounts (or the missiles etc.). My point stands.

I will also accept "I am rubber, you are glue" as a possible answer.

Papers, please. This was dystopian but it still felt like it captured the banality of some of communism's negative side rather than just creating moustache twirling villains.

Limbo/Inside, but especially Limbo

Flower and Journey, kinda both equally

Most modern AAAs (thinking TLOU/2, Horizon etc.) will tend to have very well done 'world' lighting -- usually veering towards realism, but when it comes to expression of a unique cinematic look they tend to be samey in my mind. Great, but samey.
