The Jedi games, Outlaws, and now Fate of the Old Republic have musical themes that use the exact same musical phrase and Im kind of sick of it. I rolled my eyes when I first heard the music in Outlaws but let it pass. But now a third thing that had the exact same tune is just ridiculous lol

And outlets are still being shut down, or sold and then slimmed down, even though they're profitable. Sometimes WILDLY profitable. But being wildly profitable and providing jobs and health insurance and a good product is a sin.

A generation ago it was not that hard to become a movie critic, because your city (not your state, not your country, your city) needed movie critics for different newspapers and local news. Why bother hiring now? Everyone listens to the same people. Super efficient.
But the job no longer exists.
