But will it integrate NFTs?

According to the Wall Street Journal, "Wicked" Parts One and Two cost $320 million ($160 million per film). Both parts were shot back-to-back. in c/movies@lemm.ee

It's probably not going to flop.

Wicked is one of the most popular Broadway musicals of all time. There's been a lot of marketing for this film, and on other non-Fediverse social media platforms there's been a lot of buzz and genuine excitement for this.

It'll probably break even on the first film's gross alone; Part Two's gross will be pure profit.

Wow, this actually worked!

Sorry if it seems like I haven't posted in a while - there were some federation issues with lemmy.ml and lemm.ee, but if you can read this post, then it seems like it's fixed now!

In case this happens again, I've registered an account with lemm.ee so I can post here natively.

At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"? (lemmy.ml)
 

Throughout my life, I've always heard people refer to the early 21st century years as "two thousand and X". For example, they pronounced 2001 as "two thousand and one". In my experience, during the mid-2010s there seemed to be a shift in the way people said it, and the first time I heard someone say it differently was in 2016, where they pronounced it as "twenty sixteen".

Most people I've heard pronounced the late-2010s years as "two thousand and X", although the pronunciation "twenty X" had started to catch on fast. By the year 2020, almost nobody used the "two thousand and X" pronunciation, except for very old people I knew. For example, most people would pronounce 2024 as "twenty twenty-four" and not "two thousand and twenty-four".

My question is: what year is the cutoff date for pronouncing the early 21st century years as "two thousand and X?" I've always heard people say it that way prior to 2016, I've never heard someone pronounce, say, 2007 as "twenty oh seven".

I hope I was able to properly articulate what I'm trying to say.

It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.

Handbrake only converts an existing Blu-ray rip to a video format, it doesn't rip DVDs and Blu-rays on its' own.

You can install MakeMKV to rip your discs, then convert them to video files in HandBrake.
