Martin Shkreli on Drug Price Hikes
Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
The drug costs $0.10 in India but, thanks to the prohibitive restrictions imposed by the FDA on the manufacture of more generic medicines like Deraprim, it's unavailable to Americans for less than $750. It's true that there are likely to be quality issues with Indian generics, but Pyrimethamine is widely available in Europe and an approval elsewhere ought to translate with reciprocal approval here. It used to cost $1 million to bring a generic to market; now it costs $10 million and that's the direct result of big pharmaceutical companies lobbying the FDA to make it cost prohibitive to bring competitive generics to the market. This is the consequence of government-created monopolies, so this is not so much a issue of "price gouging" and "CEO greed" as it is about government greed and its pursuit of an ever increasing expansion of its political power. But haters gonna hate based on preconceived biases and there's no reasoning or common sense among irrational people.

Disney Are Being Douchebags To Quentin
So, Disney prefers making more money rather than less?
Outrageous!
It's not like Tarantino movies ever crowd other movies out of theaters. They only play in theaters that would show nothing/remain vacant with no show times if not for his movies.
Douchebaggery of the highest order.
Tarantino is doing something really cool by bringing back the idea of the cinematic roadshow AND by making a film that is, by design, best seen with a 70mm projector (which only a few theaters in the country possess). Why does Disney care about ONE movie theater when they've got a worldwide release--especially as Star Wars is actually going to open in that theater anyway and be shown there for the first week, when the biggest returns will happen).
Seriously, I can't understand why Disney would do this, unless Tarantino royally pissed off some Disney executive who is now getting their revenge.
EDIT:
Was reading more about this on Reddit and learned that this likely happened because Disney is aggressively going to try to break the all-time box office record and therefore wants "all hands on deck" and the movie playing in as many theaters as possible.
Also, there are reports coming out that this was not a recent change but one that Disney forced through months ago, the evidence for this being that the Arclight theater in question was listed as available for the online pre-ordering of tickets for The Force Awakens over the holidays way back in October. However, it seems Tarantino was only informed of the change recently.
The Making of Stop-Motion Feature "Anomalisa"
Watched a screening about 2 weeks ago, and met the director and producer of the film. Enjoyed the film quite a bit and was happy to have gotten to chat with Charlie a bit after the screening.

Spring Valley High "Cop" violently assaults black teen girl
Oh thank goodness the Feds are getting involved. They always restore justice and ensure peace and harmony with all they do.
Jackass.
Feds are getting involved...so do me a favor...take your right hand and lift it in the air. Then smack the shit out of your face. Many incidents have been prosecuted these years. Granted, many have not. But each is a case by case. Ferguson was 100% justified (Even if there were racist practices.) Gardner, not so much. Perhaps manslaughter would have been a good start. But again, 50-50 is way different than it used to be. Used to be 100-0.

Prediction of the "official" response to this incident: "We have reviewed the incident and found that the officer in question followed all departmental policies and procedures."

I'm grateful every single day that I'm not living in anything you think of as "reality." I'm not going to "teach" you history. Learners find out for themselves (from someone, in this case, with firsthand experience).
@Trancecoach
lol...whaaaat?
are you living in an alternate reality?
west germany=social market economy,which later became to be called democratic socialism (which is what sanders is promoting).
east germany=stalinism style communism,which did end badly.
and you are right there was a short term plan but that was EAST germany,dictated by soviet union.
