With $800B cash in the bank, a long long long time.

Apple TV+ is doing just fine. First year of a service with critically acclaimed series and movies galore? And award prestige? I think Apple is very happy with TV+ right now.

And, it's a brick in the services package provided by Apple One, so you have to look at the big picture.

And, ultimately, big names sell. They bring in the eyeballs and if this wins Holland an oscar it's going to be massive. Apple already gets the Russo Brothers/Tom Holland fanbase, award prestige or not. And this looks like a fun movie with some humor to it, not a dirgelike drama like many coming out these days, so it's gonna be massive for Apple if you take all that into account.

I don’t know if the Academy has changed the cutoff date this year to be eligible (since the ceremony itself is in April this time), but if it hasn’t, then it wouldn’t eligible for this year’s Oscars. Also, if they haven’t, studios would likely not release a movie this early in next year’s Oscar eligibility window if they saw it as an Oscar contender, as it would lose all traction before 2022 Oscars.

I’m in to watch my future son-in-law, I mean, he’s too young for me but I have 3 daughters 🤣🤣 But him being in it certainly means I will watch it. Probably at home though, I’m not up to chancing my local theaters.

Not sure why I felt the need to write this; the filmmaker doesn’t have a time machine to go back and correct the stupidity in the script. But I just wanted to say, this is ********, and it makes Vets with PSTD look even worse.

it says it is based on a book, so it would be harder to change too.

‘Hopefully there is more to the story why he jumped up to Oxy.

“Walker is prescribed Oxycontin to treat his PTSD”

Please tell me that this is an Mac Rumors goof up and not actually what happens in the movie. Because if it’s not, it’s quite possibly the stupidest thing I’ve read in while. No doctor would ever prescribe OxyContin to treat PTSD - the equivalent would be prescribing Xanax to treat a broken leg. They’d likely lose their medical license for prescribing a high powered opioid so blatantly off label.

Not to mention it’s nearly impossible to get Oxycontin prescribed nowadays, unless you’re in Hospice and close to dying. And, even then it’s a struggle — my mother was a hospice nurse for years, and would have to beg doctors to prescribe more powerful painkillers for her patients who were on their ****ing deathbeds. And that was ten years ago.

I’m a former Marine/Iraq Vet with diagnosed PTSD. Currently, Docs like to prescribe anti-anxiety meds like Lexapro or Zoloft, and BP meds like Clonidine, which works really well at keeping your “fight or flight” response from “pinging” all the time. And then, if you have sleep issues, they’ll prescribe meds like Trazadone and Remeron.

Klonopin and longer acting Benzos help, too, but those are getting harder and harder to get a doc to prescribe.

Not sure why I felt the need to write this; the filmmaker doesn’t have a time machine to go back and correct the stupidity in the script. But I just wanted to say, this is ********, and it makes Vets with PSTD look even worse.

Quite. It’s just not remotely credible. Almost certainly a lazy blurb write up by an ignorant writer.
