  • China's $200 phones put Samsung on the run in Philippines [Nikkei]
  • MaXimus421 MaXimus421 Now 100%

    That lack of competing isn't because of price tho. The CCP has effectively convinced the population that Apple (US phones) are bad/untrustworthy, much like the US government has done regarding Huawei. There was a time when Apple had a decent (not great) marketshare in China.

    Yeah, they're just slinging shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. There's no real thought put into anything these days. I'm very tired of the 'Form over Functionality' bs that's being hidden behind fancy marketing.

  • The Motorola Edge 50 Neo is coming to India next week, will offer 5 OS updates - GSMArena.com news
  • MaXimus421 MaXimus421 Now 93%

    I'm not convinced. This company has purposely avoided OS updates because it's profitable to them. It causes people to buy their phones more frequently over a shorter period of time, thus offsetting the cheaper price they offer them at.

    If this is true, I suspect we will see a noticeable increase of price on their phones and much less discounts.

  • With an estimated $1.666 billion globally through Sunday, "Inside Out 2" has officially surpassed "The Lion King" (2019) to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
  • MaXimus421 MaXimus421 Now 100%

    It was a Lion King movie. Of course people paid to go see it. Box office profits (tickets sold) do not equate to an enjoyable film.

    I've never heard of anyone IRL or online claim that film was worthy of their time.

    We all got catfished on that one but I'm not surprised. You cannot remake a classic. It will work only 1 time out of 50. The odds are never good.

    Jungle Book was an exception, imo.

  • Winona Ryder Frustrated by Young Actors Not Interested in Movies
  • MaXimus421 MaXimus421 Now 100%

    Gez Z didn't grow up with watching movies. They grew up on social media. Cinematic story telling isn't something they're farmilur with as a form of daily entertainment.

    I don't blame them for this. But it definitely shows in their work. Their own generation aren't interested in their stuff, by and large. Sure, there's some that watch and enjoy it but the audience they're putting this out to who are actually interested are older. And they see their work as it is - not as good as past efforts by generations before Gen Z.

    It's why the film industry is drowning right now. There is an audience still there for film. But the majority of it isn't Gen Z. And that's the problem. There lies the disconnect.

    If you want Gen Z attention and dollars, the film industry isn't where you should be aiming your sights at. Because they aren't the audience for film. Which obviously means, you should cater the film industry to the audience THAT IS ALREADY THERE.

    And that ain't Gen Z...

    This. Guy is weird af in real life. I'm willing to ignore it all for 2 hours of another Riddick film is as good as the previous ones but I'm no fan of this guy anymore after some of the videos I've seen of his behavior off set.

    Another actor that Hollywood just turned into a freak.

    Who keeps a Moto phone for more than 2 or 3 years anyway? These are disposable devices because of the lack of software support. You buy one, and have it recycled in 2 years. Rinse and repeat.

    Nobody should be buying Motorola phones for a long term device,obviously.

    It's OK.

    I don't blame people for their mistakes. I only ask that they learn from them.
