It’s ironic, or at least a stilted “box office standard” when music “sales” are now tracked by free streams (for artists who don’t even have digital downloads or physical albums for sale).

The numbers of “sales” are inflated because those who listen to an album again and again online count as continued sales but if you buy the album that only counts once no matter how often you listen to the album. Additionally all used LPs and CDs you listen to do not count towards those “repeated listenings” as well.

So Drake and Ed Sheeran are considered to be far bigger “sellers” than the Beatles or Elvis ever were. Not buying it.

If “box office” for movies were ticking up those online streams (from all services, not just itunes, hulu, and amazon prime) numbers would grow (and not just for current release movies).

Back in the day top vhs rentals were tracked but I don’t think those numbers are tabulated anymore and they certainly never counted as “sales”.

So all charts are weird.

He also made it because Hollywood was boycotting Georgia over some gay law that they disagreed with. So Eastwood announced that he was retired from filming making but he will make one last film and it will be in Georgia.

The movie outs the media as dishonest, no wonder they won’t advertise it.

This is not a movie that most people will rush out and see. However, it is probably a movie that most people will eventually see when it streams into homes.

There was already an effort by lib media to tell people not to see it; much like The Joker, Dave Chappelle, and Bill Burr.

Type 2 Diabetes can be controlled and even reversed by lifestyle changes: diet and exercise. Eat healthy, take a walk every day. Even a 20 minute walk can a difference. Not to mention that walking lowers your blood pressure and stress levels.

My significant other would not take care of herself. I begged her to no avail. She became insulin dependent. She would come home from work on Friday with a couple cakes from the bakery and donuts. She would eat them all, shoot herself up with insulin and pass out for the whole weekend. I would not see her till late Sunday afternoon.

I don't see how that is any different than coming home on a Friday with a bottle of whiskey and drinking yourself into a stupor.

It’s a very good movie, very well done.

But the true villains are the FBI and the fake news media, so I’m sure leftist Hollywierd WANTS this movie to fail.

Saw this movie in a deep deep blue neighborhood.

I was one of six viewers that late afternoon-viewing. Most viewers were 50 or older.

Satisfied comments heard after credits rolled.

I get the idea that even in such neighborhoods the sleeping giant is there, too big to be seen. Look at the contours of the distant hills and you can see his shoulders. Wait.
