To say nothing of the old "Matinee at the Bijou" Yes, I'm old.

Presumably, some people (I'd use another word, but it probably violates board rules) came on board precisely because he was taking over... but yeah, I'm surprised that it ever rose above his starting point. I know I wasn't alone in leaving back when first word that he was likely going to buy it...

I consider this so obvious that I'm mildly surprised it has to be a discussion. Trump is setting things up so that he can do everything he wants, but when push-back comes, it's always going to be someone else who has to take the fall for it. What's perhaps more suprising is that there are so...

I don't intend it to be "doom and gloom," but simply the realistic (IMHO, of course) perspective that sustaining 8 waves of all-but identical figures... folks are bound to get tired of it. There's going to be a drop-off of interest long before wave 8 would be ready.

Hasbro registers trademarks (as was pointed out, not copyright, which is why I responded vis-a-vis the NFL in the first place, apparently misunderstanding the question) for new names all the time, but there are TONS of names that they don't bother to register. Hasbro's only going to register...

Yeah, that seemed a nothingburger, simply to set up

I'm pretty sure they only have to have the rights from the NFL. I don't think individual teams get a say.

I've little doubt that Hasbro can turn a profit on what's been announced. I'm less confident they can do so enough to warrant doing the whole NFL.

Well, the Kansas City Chiefs did manage to be one of the first helmets announced....

I hope these are really small if that's the case. If not, not only will *I* not be getting most of them (I'd probably only do one or two, anyway), but I doubt Hasbro will ever get around to completing the project. UPDATE: Ahhh, Deluxes at $25. That's it. We're never going to see more than a...

I'd be lying if I said the thought hadn't crossed my mind....

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. It's VERY easy for me to imagine that they'll go after whites, as well, and contrive an explanation that simply paints them as "extreme liberal" (the truth will not matter here, let's be clear), thus rendering the victim's plight as unworthy of their notice.

Watching the stock market crash as a result of 47's tariffs put me in mind of some conversations back when Toys R Us was going out of business back in 2018. Many of us (arguably not all) were of the opinion that TRU's failure was less to do with any of their own specific failings, nor even of...

As a Californian, I wouldn't mind terribly much being made into our own country, free of Trumpian rule.

Well, yes, Fuller does have an intentional pattern of giving the female leads of his series names that are stereotypically male, but the "too close to" comment misses the point a touch. For example, "Chuck" in Pushing Daisies is a nickname (the character's full name is Charlotte Charles, and...

Honestly, the only reason I'd think he *would* run would be if Trump was the other nominee, and it seemed that only Obama could stop him. (And, yeah, I'm aware that the intention, that only a president with two non-consecutive terms would be allowed to run for a third, would specifically...

If you'd asked that just a few years ago, I'd say there really wasn't any. Nowadays, there are several options. Some of the mainstream brands, and several newer ones. None as firmly established (at least, in the specific electric car market) as Tesla, perhaps, but perfectly ready to rise up and...

Biden was a big fan of Amtrak, so naturally I fear for its future under Trump.

Honestly, I see this less as Zelenskyy being duped, and more that he has to keep up appearances, having little other option.
