Russia and Germany are on probation with Germany on house arrest in 1929.
Jump to 2020's and Russia is in its own yard but China is getting on its nerves. The USofA has a Berlin problem with the added progressive groups demanding crazy ideas made into law, think pronouns and equity. The social activists group BLM got a boost from the Marxist leadership - same time tested method of riot in the streets, crete division and of course fine tune race as the principal sword.
This quick induction is just a reminder of history. Even if the Department of Education with its lack of interest in any history because indoctrination is the progressive socialist's game. The first film clip is from "Babylon Berlin" series, amazing to watch, well researched, and the message nobody in 1929 noticed except a few was Market Crash.
(Note:Hitler used the Left groups to get into power. Here in 2016 those went crazy when Trump won. OMG history repeats and Trump will be "him") Half of a pronoun joke is all I got.</p><p> [

<p/>
I was not looking at HBOmax as a monthly budget item because ATandT is not capable to handle really good content on a one2one basis muchless the big Vault of classic film and DC based movies. The rollout of HBOmax as the stream and theater release date is the same for 2021. This plan is USA only and expect last minute changes.
<p/>
Why am I being polite to HBOmax after throwing fire and brimstone on ATandT since forever? The Warner Media structure is outside the telecom/network structure. Sorta like, "we know how to make and distrube film you (ATandT) do not".
<p/>
First, Beyond The Trailer addresses the Stream and in theater same day for all 2021 releases and other topics.
<p/>

<p/>
Second, this is a big deal because pandemic means content cannot rust away on the shelf. Movie theaters have done some sketchy things like 15 screens to fill, jack prices up on everything. But for ne the worst thing? Made getting into a seat as painful as trying to get on theme park ride. (Pass the bleach, masks, gloves.) I will not go in the door.
<p/>
Third, Ask for my opinion and if the moon rocks land in Australia, ISS supply mission is nominal, and Hamiltion is not in the car for Formula 1 race, you may get some words;this is all true for today December 6, 2020.

<b>My Comment on Beyond The Trailer video above.</b>
<p/>
1.0 Okay this is one of those times where a little history made its way in. Modern movie going changes. Sometimes with a wrecking ball and sometimes with tech improvements and for sure the pandemic (covid-19) has forced a big change.
<p/>
Update December 8,2020 (00:58:00 ET):
<p/>
The last big shakeup was 2013 when the transition from film to digital. Quite a problem if your theater was local with a couple of screens - Hollywoon Ordered and that was it. Comply or die. This time the pandemic puts theater out on a limb with public safety removing the rope that allows the owner climb down.
<p/>
November 6, 2013 Slice of scifi took a call on the death of local theater. After that another call on some movies look the way it should only on theater sized screen.
<p/>

End Update
<p/>
1.1 Historically Warner Bros. failed at every streaming "experiment" it put up on the web. DRM servers turned off with no warning, stupid device restrictions, and high price. Now, with someone in charge that knows how to work a streaming business plan even I am going to throw $ in for at least a quarter. The stupid sliding window release method made them truckloads of money when reels, disks, and file transfer. It also boosted infringement because, people want to watch and will buy, unless their region I blocked. Note, grabbing a non-licensed movie is infringement not theft. Taking a DVD out of (store) is theft not copyright infringement. (NOT a lawyer but I do know how to read)
<p/>
1.2 Back in the day there were Drive-in Theater and local Movie House. Then the crazy Mega-Theater w/up to 15 or more screens to fill (if lucky). This is where quality dropped to the point I did not go. I drive to Air & Space IMAX Theater at Dulles Airport near Washington DC. Me and wife tried the newer Dinner and Movie places; food + booze + movie did not work for spouse. Staff either didn't care or was not trained in how to be invisible in this kind of arrangement -- she will not try 2nd time. This is the consumer that drops $75 on munchies, a drink or two + ticket, one chance. I am not qualified to answer for families who may want to drive a carload of kids when I have seen up to $15 each tickets. Not going to get all "what about the experience" mushy - I did take a bunch of kids once and only once (sisters and nieces bribed me).
<p/>
1.3 So, here we are. I am going on the record saying Disney is off my list, they are going to do something pretty special to get even Rental Stream (PPV) $ out of me.
<p/>
1.4 From the top: I have to keep my BigBucks Xfinity so I can watch that model change. Netflix just increased to $14 month for a rather basic subscription but for now I'll keep it (demographic target is not me but the new stuff still has me watching). Amazon Prime Video is never going away, however, the content fight will get messier. HBOmax running on my Amazon Fire TV thingy that all TV's have? Got to recheck. Also, and it my be just me, NEVER buying TV that requires Internet connection to setup or update. Do have Kindles for just browsing for fun movie or series to fall asleep on.
<p/>
1.5 Cannot pay monthly for everything so some products have to be left out:
CBS All Access = 0 (nothing for me), All Disney = 0 (EVIL Corp), hulu = Divide by zero cause Disney, Paramount = (waiting). The Amazon Prime Video channel subscription is stable so I do add any channel (WGNa, Shudder, Fandor, AMC, etc) when there is a series I must see (WGNa, Almost Paradise was blocked on Xfinity. I Bought each episode on Amazon).
<p/>
1.6 What Warner Media has done is structure a way to watch what I like at home day 1 and if I must I will go to IMAX for 3D.
<p/>
1.6.0 The AMC on the next block is off limits until I am vaccinated and doctor is happy with that experiment. (Don't skip getting complete procedure. In my case I have to wait and see beacause even for Flu shot I have restrictions on kind of shot.)
OOPS. Too long? TMI? (copy paste into blog now)

[ The Apollo mission was a project that happens sometimes in history -- think The Great Wall of China, a massive project driven by the events of the time. The Cold War Soviets already set the bar by putting a satellite in orbit. All we the USA had was one big bluff. Soviets publicly said they would be 1st, also a bluff.<br />
<br />
The public needed an ego boost so President Kennedy gets on TV and bluffs Soviets. (The rocket people in Army & Air Force had nothing.)<br />

In the 1960's I lived outside Langley AFB on the Hampton side. Then I could walk across the bridge and look around and day dream (restricted areas are well marked and I knew better to test MPs.

MIPCOM: Keynote Speakers Explicate Content, Delivery, Advertising and Social Platforms<br />
<br />
Before I offer opinions I wish to thank MIP for the great speakers and full length video. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/mipmarkets" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/mipmarkets</a><br />

1.0 Social Ground Zero -- Twitter<br />
[ Note on "TV x Twitter - MIPCOM 2015" presentation<br />
-- Think about the new shiny toy called social TV and what it will be asking you to give up in order to play by rules that are, at best, not in your best interest. We already throw useful, sometimes personal, data at Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Google and others but I get twitchy when "TV x Twitter" promises a world of fun without cost. I may be overstating my position on this platform -- needs more study. ]<br />

1.1 DeathStar -- Google<br />
[ What Google built in order to make mobile experience better - Has nothing to do with making video work better. ]<br />
<br />
[ Mobile: google AMP ]<br />
<a href="http://www.niemanlab.org/2015/10/get-ampd-heres-what-publishers-need-to-know-about-googles-new-plan-to-speed-up-your-website/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.niemanlab.org/2015/10/get-ampd-heres-what-publishers-need-to-know-about-googles-new-plan-to-speed-up-your-website/</a><br />
<br />
Basic concept is simple. No javascript. Restrictive CSS, images and video can be constrained at will for performance. JSON is okay because it is the loader. HTML5 multimedia tags are AMP custom elements. Think Facebook Instant Articles done "The Google Way".<br />
<blockquote>
But this stripping out out tags also reinforces a walled garden. AMP is an open source project, but tags like amp-img are killing and replacing elements that have been part of the open web for literally decades. It’s forking HTML</blockquote>
<blockquote>
For better and for worse, this is essentially a rollback of how HTML and web technologies have evolved over the past decade. It’s a little jarring that so many of the sample AMP pages on display this morning look a lot like the web of, say, 2002, shrunk down to a phone screen. Like an IE 5.5 emulator.</blockquote>
However, another non-standard standard promises good things. We like good things until all user control is locked down. By user I mean me and my mobile.<br />
<blockquote>
And it’s yet another case of a technology company coming along to promise a better experience for users that takes one more bit of power away from publishers. That is, of course, a reasonable and good thing for technology companies to do! Blogger and WordPress empowered anyone to publish online; this hurt professional publishers but the tradeoff was a net gain for users. Google, Facebook, and Twitter created amazing platforms for discovering interesting content; this hurt professional publishers but the tradeoff was a net gain for users.</blockquote>
1.2 We have the Force -- Not Yoda, that other guy<br />
A brief history of phone vs human (I think so) from Jacques Mattheij (<a href="https://twitter.com/jmattheij" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@jmattheij</a>). I pulled out one point, read it all.<br />
[ SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 Whose Phone Is It Anyway? ]<br />
<a href="http://jacquesmattheij.com/whose-phone-is-it-anyway" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://jacquesmattheij.com/whose-phone-is-it-anyway</a><br />
<blockquote>
And so we arrive today. Where you think that you own the computer that you use and the phone in your pocket. You see the network as a peripheral of your computer and your phone, with your device as a node in a network operated by ‘peers’.<br />
<br />
But that’s not the view of the phone company and your ISP. They see that phone in your pocket and that computer on your desk as a peripheral of their infrastructure.</blockquote>
I was going to add a few more historical essays (less than "now" old) but physics got in way. Pesky relativity.<br />

I'm not going to search ESA for official words because it's obvious a suit (director, producer) didn't catch the wardrobe fail. I was stuck doing a satellite briefing back when. My standard uniform was beat up t-shirt & hat. Oops, CONUS wide TV is Suit, tie and no headgear. I looked pretty official (never again on the wrong side of camera.) ]<br />

A space probe built and launched by The European Space Agency was successfully landed on a Comet looping around the Sun between the orbits of Jupiter and Earth. At the same time, back on Earth, a shirt became just as famous. Here's my take on Dr Matt Taylor's shirt choice during the televised interviews, and the so called #shirtstorm or #shirtgate that followed.</blockquote>

Big Weekend With That World Cup Thing Called Football; Are You Still Beating Your Wife?Update: Feb 02, 2018 -- PDF link is good. Video is ok. Facebook link gone.

If you got to this far, thanks and sorry 'bout the click bait title but it is something all need to ponder.<br />
<br />
Football + alcohol + [favorite toxin] + nationalism = What? Right, YMMV. From happy guy all the way to zip tied to a steel post crazy.<br />
<br />
Guys that fine looking female is not your personal workout bag. Not the live-in help. And most of all not your inferior. Your wife, mate, is your equal partner or more. I DON"T HAVE THE WORDS that express the ruin that should befall every man that punches, twists, maims or kills his wife or girlfriend. It is either "bad code" so delete yourself or it is bad living -- sober up /get clean, get a shrink if need be.<br />
<br />
I can't do anything -- you don't want to know why so don't ask. Maybe a pretty video will get your attention. And yes the video is directed at you advertising and marketing. I may not know much about what ad suits do in Real Life but I have spent plenty of time in Marketing Support tasks to know senior marketing people see women as tools or a means to an end -- dinner and pussy.<br />

I watched the videos, read the blog, read the critical acclaim, read opinions of women who had daughters play with the toys, and read all the unnecessary legal documents relating to alleged infringement. i.e., Goldieblox's preemptive request for a jury trial. All of that is common knowledge by now; that debate is tabled. The debate moves forward or dies in my mind.<br />

</object>Goldieblox has shown its real colors, grifter pink. Pink has tainted girls products since the later part of the last century. Nothing wrong with pink if that's your thing. However, when a toy company declares its mission is to inspire girls to become engineers, pink princess is not the path. The toy is a hokey ruse by marketing people. Looking at <a href="http://www.goldieblox.com/pages/about" rel="nofollow">Disrupting the pink aisle</a> what do you see? Marketing, slick flimflam marketing. What about the number of engineers worldwide; male 89%, female 11% you ask? All I can say is, no data. Try this stat.
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Over 55 percent of males who majored in science acquired jobs in physics, mathematics, or engineering after graduation. In contrast, only 34 percent of female majors in these same areas obtained positions in related fields. Correlation of these results to other fields was not possible. For example, 68 percent of females who majored in humanities secured teaching positions after graduation; only 52 percent of similarly trained males secured similar positions. Further analysis is necessary to explain these different outcomes for men and women, including understanding “What are the influences of expected outcomes on the labor market. -Angelica Salvi Del Pero [1] ”

That is a solid figure. There is only hype at Goldieblox as I have noted above. Headline grabbing stunts do little to untangle the issues women deal with in education and workplace when selecting a career in STEM. Maybe I am being too harsh. Maybe I am just not getting it.<br />

I suggest everyone read <b><i>Blueprint for the Future</i></b> [PDF] because there are meaningful solutions offered up with the cold hard facts.<br />

[ Nothing like flashy white papers to get a politician's heart rate up. You know Capital Hill runs on paper loaded with stats, all kinds of numbers, even numbers that are plucked out of the ether. I worked in "DC" for way too many years to dismiss studies made to push legislation through. Now I find examples of pure comedy.<br />
<br />
Copyright lobby produces some really pretty studies. Here is a screen grab of two studies relating to Copyright. One is by the lobby for tightening protections and the other study is by the lobby that does not want new restrictions. Guess who.<br />
