CMC deserves a win so go SF, but I can’t watch the Chiefs anymore. So sick of watching teams just choke in the playoffs against KC. Plus Mahomes, Kelce, and Andy Reid seem to be in half the commercials I see. It’s just obnoxious.

Rebel Moon is already split into two movies, and it’s on Netflix, so he probably had full control and final cut. Yet he still somehow has a director’s cut that adds another hour?

Why he didn’t just develop it as a 6 episode limited series is beyond me.

At least in the US (can’t speak for how energy companies are regulated around the world). But there’s little doubt that major corporations, for example, are taking advantage of the situation and using it as an excuse to ramp up profits
