SO, that would mean that Bezos owns most of the strip in Vegas.

If you want to sell MGM licensed merchandise, you’ll have pay Amazon the licensing fee and sell it through them. Likely going to be some anti-trust cases going forward.

In 7th grade I had no idea what a drag queen was so I thought Queen’s “Killer Queen” song was about a Bond-type secret agent lady who was “dynamite with a laser beam.”

Re: Isaac Hayes as the voice of Chef on 'South Park'.

Before he died in 2008, Isaac Hayes left a legacy of hypocrisy and bigotry when he left 'South Park' over his intolerance of comedy about his own religion despite mocking others':

'South Park' co-creator Matt Stone said in an interview that “This [Why Isaac Hayes quit] is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology… He has no problem — and he’s cashed plenty of checks — with our show making fun of Christians". Stone said he and co-creator Trey Parker “never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin.”

Craig has the charisma of a door mat...he’s a British Jason Bourne.

His rough and tumble fight scenes add to the character.

None of the other Bond actors got in those kinds of fights, fights which appear par for a secret agent:)

Yep....absolutely 100% true.

Isaac was one nasty vile hypocrite....you know, a leftist.
