Hearing from someone at the court case on Twitter that a settlement was reached today for BBIG. Spike AH as well. Looks Colucci, Goldstein & Distasio out! That combined with the resignation of Philip Jones means all the toxic elements are out.

If Colucci is out earnings + merger should be on deck in a hurry

Got a little bit of eyes on AMC. I think if it drops to the 6-7 range that calls for 10ish 3 months out will print hard. That seems to be the pattern-- they walk it down then it runs a bit then they walk it down again. AMC has some tricks it can do with the APE dividend as it relates to issuing further dividends which can force covering if done right-- APE being baked into options contracts through 2024 at a 1:1 ratio means AMC would squeeze with it if it ran.

The root of the conflict at BBIG has been Colucci (corrupt board member who made himself CEO through likely illegal means) and Philip Jones (corrupt CFO who has been trying to embezzle company funds by paying it into companies providing no value to BBIG (AIPros which appears to be a shell company that does nothing-- claims it does the same kind of stuff AdRizer was doing but it was revealed they were just trying to steal AdRizer trade secrets, and IHeartRadio which Colucci's wife works at-- probably not actually going to IHeartRadio)

BBIG developments in the past few weeks

  • AI Pros payments of 5 million rescinded
  • Philip Jones was found to be responsible for BBIG not negotiating their loan payment and forcing the company to pay 30 million (for stock price in the mid term I thought that was bullish, but for company health in the short term that wasn't ideal) as he did not respond to lenders nor former CEO Lisa King to get signatures to extend the loan. Amusingly some sleuthing (ie facebook stalking of his wife's facebook) found he was "on a family fishing trip" with his wife at the time
  • Philip Jones stepped down as CFO due to a negotiation directly with Ted and Lisa's legal teams and replaced with Ken Slack, the CFO of Zash. This is HUGE as this was the main guy who was helping Colucci screw the company over, and the fact that he did this without consulting Colucci gives a real "time to get out of dodge" feel.
  • "Special master" hearing scheduled for today designed to expedite the court proceedings a bit.
Super bullish on the Philip Jones step down-- to me that feels like the court may be winding down and it's becoming increasingly obvious that this is unwinnable. I really do think Q2/Q3 earnings are going to be great and this legal dispute being positioned just before Q2 earnings was not a coincidence. I think Philip Jones

Right now the objectives are:

Get Colucci out
Get Independent Board members in
Get earnings
Get merger

I believe the resolution of the court case will accomplish the first two items, and the merger/earnings will occur shortly after the court case.

Bear case is of course that the court case stalls long enough that the company has Nasdaq compliance issues, but the judge seems to be prioritizing moving things along quickly first and foremost so it's hard to imagine this lasting much longer. I do not think bankruptcy is a real risk here-- Zash has solid financials and this ticker will be a gold mine for them if they get that merger so I think they'll keep BBIG afloat-- I also think BBIG's financial situation is being exaggerated by Colucci to help generate FUD as there is a short hedge fund in a bad place here that has connections with Colucci and some other guy on the board whose name I forget as per the whistleblower testimony from Eric Noble

I've been positioning any calls with longer durations and have been going harder on shares, so I'm pretty ok with waiting this out. Every month I accumulate more.

I do also have some Intel 2025 30c. Hard to not see that being an easy 5 bagger+ when the stock market stabilizes and Intel's chip manufacturing kicks up in 2024

The only truly bad FEH influence would be if they dumbed the gameplay down to FEH levels.

If Peach feels like fighting she could win, maybe. She has a lot of weird powers.

Most likely she'll just helplessly whine and hope Mario comes to save her

I count DK being able to freely hoist her onto his shoulder and carry her helpless wherever he wants as a win for him

So he likely wins.

I've come to find stuff that is too sweet (ie strawberry shortcake) to be a little much for me (although I still enjoy it, just VERY moderately).

I agree with this general sentiment but Strawberry Shortcake is a very strange one to list for this and not one I'd consider too sweet.

Most stuff with frosting is too sweet.

I like dark chocolate a lot as well as coffee flavored sweets. Carrot cake tends to be pretty good. Also lemon cake. Apple and Pumpkin Pie are great. And vanilla ice cream-- I'm a weirdo and sometimes will just get vanilla at like Baskin Robbins.

Seth's endgame stats are great and you can freely use him without risking your other units exp growth. Most broken unit in the series in my partially informed opinion.

But yeah it's mostly the bases that end up carrying them. I mean I've used Marcus (who is probably the worst of the games I've played) in endgame teams even and while he can't carry the team without stat items he isn't a liability. I don't know who the worst Jagen in the series is but I do actually wonder if any of them are so bad that they become dead weight.

what i don't get is that darcy was generally disliked in dark world but then everyone seemed to be totally cool with her in wandavision.

i personally haven't liked kat dennings in anything i've seen her in - including wandavision. her style of comedy just doesn't work for me at all.

Well I can argue from the point of view of a person who likes Darcy.

She's definitely making a lot less jokes in Wandavision and the character comes off as a lot more competent in general. There's a clear difference to me and I actually prefer her in non-Wandavision appearances because of that, because I'm not ready to see her in a role where she seems like she knows what she's doing-- it's a bit abrupt.

FE8's Jagen is very good. Although, Jagens in general aren't as bad as people used to think they were. Like in FE7, it turns out it takes a long time for Marcus to actually fall off and there's more to the game than just the final chapter.

FE8 and SoV are different enough that I don't think it really matters which order you play them in if you plan to play both.

I think the risk of Jagens was always more the risk of them sucking up all your exp if you overused them rather than them outright sucking. Someone just lost sight of that at some point and now the narrative is "well people said they were terrible but their growths aren't that awful for their bases" and that was not really ever the major takeaway to have regarding Jagens.

Although Seth doesn't really have this problem either because of the abundance of EXP available in FE8.

Lopen

So what the fight is most likely here

Yoshi = Kyle Reese
Baby Donkey Kong = Sarah Connor

Now it plays out more like could Yoshi with Baby Donkey Kong beat the T-800 and I feel like the answer to that is definitely no, but I think T-800 wins just going straight for Donkey Kong too. But there are reasons this could be more directly Donkey Kong vs T-800 with T-800 out to destroy the banana horde or whatever else, and in those situations DK wins.

So it still really boils down to whether the Terminator is coming to kill Donkey Kong or not. I feel like it's better form to assume he is, but the answer is COULD DK win and I do think he COULD in many scenarios as long as he wasn't the direct target for termination.

See that's the real thing

If Terminator is out to kill DK then he's coming to fight him as a young-un we haven't really seen in combat or he's coming to fight Cranky before he sires him or something else.

"So why do people hate this movie again?" I had trouble kind of explaining it at that point, honestly.

Our thoughts mostly align on this movie, and I've always felt the same about it. To me it's just not really in that bottom tier. I mean it's among the lesser of the MCU movies that AREN'T there and I don't completely love it or anything but there is stuff I like and I don't mind watching it. Like I'm in the minority but I'd rather watch The Dark World than Thor. To say nothing of the real crap like Iron Man 2/3 and Age of Ultron.

I've always written it off to two things.

I love Loki, and Tom Hiddleston in general really. So all of his stuff here is slam dunk for me.
I like Kat Dennings and Darcy is a fun character. I unironically enjoy Two Broke Girls-- like it's not my favorite show but it has funny episodes and is above average for sitcoms of that era. So I'm not cringing at her comic relief stuff here and more of it is probably hitting for me than most.

I'm not sure if it's quite that simple but that's been my best guess as to why it's hated. There isn't much going on that isn't related to Loki, and Darcy gets a lot of stupid comedy. If the former isn't a big thing for you or the latter irritates you, then you probably hate on this movie.

I don't mean to cop out but I think the scenario needs more fleshing out

Like is DK Sarah Connor or is he Kyle Reese here. Basically is the target or someone trying to stop the Terminator from getting his target.

DK wins if the latter due to being strong enough to crumple him and plausibly able to get the jump, loses if the former due to the T-800 picking smarter weaponry and strategy for the task.
