Box office receipts vs Oscar nomination/win are somewhat analogous to what makes a movie great--depending on who you ask. Box office receipts is more reflective as to what public opinion is about a "good" movie and everyone wants to see. Oscar nomination/win is more reflective of a small cadre of opinions and leans more towards the artistic side. I sometimes scratch my head wondering why certain movies are nominated let alone win an Oscar.

I was not surprised that the movie "Megalopolis" is a flop at the box office. I get the impression that certain directors no longer have the impact that they did years ago---directors like Spielberg and Martin Scorsese. Is the public tired or no longer wanting to see these movies because of the content or not interested at all? #CoSo #movies https://www.vulture.com/article/megalopolis-is-a-box-office-mega-flop-olis.html

As much as I disliked Pete "Charley Hustle" Rose and the Cincinnati Reds (Dodgers fan) I have to admire his love of the game. He needs to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. #baseball #sports

Who should we trust for information with regards to places that would be considered "safe havens" against #climatechange? Would you trust a realtor or a mayor? This April 2022 newscast portrayed Asheville, NC as one of these havens. #Asheville #flooding #irony

@TheKiffness on revenue sharing:
"Eating the Cats" has 9M views on YouTube... $41K ...advertisers paid YouTube $82k to show their ads on relevant videos, and YouTube gave me half.

Pretty decent model: win-win-win for everyone involved.

It has 11M views on
@X
, plus around 30M views from other channels sharing my video... $600

I'm sure
@elonmusk
is working on the X ad revenue model, but for now
@YouTube
is still far better for creatives.
