Ever read a take so far-fetched, bad and goofy that you don't know where to even begin a line of attack? I can't even critique this since the "reasoning" he used to get there is so hilariously off-base. Like... Hey author! You won't read this but you should fuggen hear it form someone!

Owen! You didn't present the "problem" properly, or even fully define it. Then ya didn't address the real players or conditions surrounding the problem. Then you didn't come up with solutions or even come up with a definition of what a good movie should be.

Didn't say why "the need for studios to cut costs is real"... (That one, presented without basis, really pissed me off). Ya finished this embarrasing writeup with..."audiences need to spend more money at the movies".

What?

I dearly wish hed actually see this and be properly embarrassed enough to never write anything ever again so humanity might grow.

IANAL but i am wondering if Disney is somehow letting this case go as a backdoor way to legitimize arbitration agreements.

Like, i just can't see Disney not knowing this is the wrong case to push the legitimacy of an arbitration agreement. But if this case somehow legitimized through whachacallit... precedent... that an arbitration agreement, while binding in a primary sense, is not binding for every Disney product, wouldn't Disney (and really every company that uses binding arbitration as part of using their product) consider that a win?

Because as i understand it, arbitration agreements as a requirement to use a service is still an untested legal grey area. Anything legitimizing them at all would be a win... Right? Againn ianal

On the other hand if there's gonna be a challenge to the legality of arbitration agreements this is a strong place to start from.

Damn, i had no idea she was this off her rocker.

I dig their cracks but i don't follow the drama. Care to offer a primer on the soap opera?
