@lemmy.mlApple 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 enough shoutouts for Shrinking here...
Ted Lasso is definitely holding up the platform, no disagreement, but there's some other great content there as well. Prehistoric Planet, too.
I was gonna come in here like 'Phone with a physical keyboard' but then I realized I had greatly misread the room...
Where is the line?
We interact with hundreds if not thousands of chemicals in every ordinary act of life. This is not just unavoidable, it's normal and natural, and has been going on for centuries if not millenia.
Are you proposing we stop cooking food (which results in chemical alterations of the underlying food). What about soap?
You have a point, but you've oversimplified it and taken it to an extreme where it's no longer a sound or balanced idea.
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.
Given what happened with Merrick Garland, it's not fully clear that her retiring would have ensured the outcome you're suggesting.
Technically true, but it needs to be non militarized, can't purchase the missile mounts (or the missiles etc.). My point stands.
But this already isn't true. Even if I could afford it, I can't buy an F16, anthrax or a nuclear warhead. So, isn't this just about where the line is being drawn? The line itself both already exists and doesn't seem to be contested.
