Can you help a completest

There may be some in this thread?:-

It may be also worth PM’ing Harmy to see if he still has any? (or may know of someone who has?)

Good luck with it mate 😃

I think it’s interesting how largely immune to the soccer craze the United States is. It’s kind of like how ABBA was a huge hit everywhere on Earth except for the U.S.

The US has had some peaks and valleys with interest. MLS has actually been around for 25 years now and I’m reasonably sure it’s fairly successful (granted I don’t follow it but it’s still around and it gets decent tv coverage). And interest does spike during most World Cup years, especially when the US is good (relatively speaking). Women’s World Cup was very popular last time out IIRC, especially given that we won the thing somehow.

EDIT: Looking at the short-lived history of the Women’s WC, we’ve done quite well. What’s up with that, rest of the world?

And Dancing Queen was number one in the US for a little bit, and you even hear it on American radio stations from time to time, but compared to how the whole thing was received in the rest of the world, it’s nothing.

Thank You for the Music related content - take it the ABBA appreciation thread 😉

Then again, I’d be nervous if any film I produced had a six-figure loss.

It’s not a loss though. It just didn’t meet projections. Maybe they needed to rethink their projections.

If they spent 500 million on it then that is a loss.

I don’t understand why so many people here are so eager to paint Solo as if it isn’t a box office failure. It’s not like any of you have a personal stake in it.

There are?

A box office failure is usually when a film doesn’t make it’s money back, yes? Well, we don’t know what the film cost, do we? (do we?) I don’t know where the ‘$500m’ figure comes from I see bandied around - a guess? (someone replicated the cost of Rogue One and added extra on for the re-shoots, maybe?)

Solo has certainly under-performed - in context it could be said it has flopped in comparison to the other recent releases - yet did anyone expect it get near the ST figures - or even R1? I imagine the big-wigs will be looking into it and trying to address it, should they feel the need?

Personally, I don’t care too much - it’s not like Disney is going to pull the plug on future Star Wars films after 1 under-performing film (despite many articles stating it would) after the 4 released so far - so we’ll still be very likely getting more SW content in the future (which is something I’d like to see).

World Cup 2018

Well in Brazil - thought Mexico had them on the ropes early in the 1st half - yet couldn’t quite make that good play pay - and then Brazil grew stronger…

Brazil under Tite - 25 matches, 20 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss. 54 goals for, 6 against. He’s really got them playing as a unit - with a few individuals flourishing and expressing themselves within the system.

Would like to see Firmino start ahead of Jesus - though I’m a little biased 😉 (I do think his work rate and anticipation, as well as his link-up play with Coutinho would add a bit more to what Jesus offers; not that Jesus is a bad player or anything like that).

It’d be interesting to find out how much Lucasfilm/Disney make for each SW film from worldwide blu ray / dvd / digital download sales, sales to the tv companies in numerous countries around the world for showing the movies, merchandising & licensing deals (lego, funko pops, clothing etc), advert partners (car & battery commercials etc), and their own toys and merch (t-shirts, posters, games, collectibles, books, comics, figures & models, and toys aimed at the kids market).

I suppose we’ll never find out exact figures for sure - though am willing to bet it’s a pretty penny considerable amount to add to the balance sheet.

A cool series of Criterion-style covers…

More pics of the collection - https://imgur.com/a/09uA4

To download - https://imgur.com/a/bgESk (there is also a ‘Star Wars’ cover instead of ‘A New Hope’ version)
 

From - https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/7xq3jm/custom_star_wars_blu_ray_covers/

Well in Kylon1138 😃

Who made these? They look incredible! Is there any way they can create a different version of the cover for A New Hope to something a little more accurate to the film?
Like this:

May well be worth asking ‘Kylon1138’ on reddit mate (unfortunately he’s not a member on here) if he’d be interested in doing something like that? 'Tis a cool collection of covers 😃

I’m almost a 100% misanthrope at this point, which next to no expectations of good behavior from my fellow man, and even I am amazed at how little the American people care about the massacre that just happened.

The Capital Gazette shooting?

As an outsider looking in… it seems for the main part such tragic events as this have sadly become ‘the norm’ in the US - where prayers and thoughts are offered - yet nothing/little of note changes/happens to prevent similar shootings in the future.

It’s easy to say, yet maybe a look at how other countries around the world have addressed events such as this and what they have done to try and prevent similar acts from occurring? (or as much as anyone can) - instead of the usual rhetoric.
