A 'big brother' theme? Because she's looking at some screens? It's a promo shot to stress that this is the eighties. If it were set in the nineties she'd be on a skateboard, with a walkman and a nirvana cd.

It can be interesting to talk about - as I mentioned, I have some background in competition law and my current work relates to intellectual property - but getting particularly invested in it one way or the other is a bit dull to me.

I went to see a movie in Georgetown last night, so I got to see a bunch of stuff they have set up for filming. There was a couple car carriers filled with 80s (and earlier) cars to set up, and they turned an empty storefront into a defunct clothing store. And there was a random phone booth people were taking pictures with. Lots of cranes around, too, and a whole bunch of tractor trailers. It was pretty cool!

It was mostly younger people, so I assume the latter. We don't have phone booths anymore.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
Many Disneyland employees are paid near minimum wage, and minimum wage sucks, is what I'm seeing. However Disneyland employees are unionised. That's the context of the report you saw, the product of a survey sent to union members collecting evidence to help demand better pay. We'll see how it turns out.

quote:

Comcast has frequently been labeled "the most anti-union" cable operator. Moreover, Comcast tends to hire technicians as independent '1099' contractors to avoid paying benefits, living wages, overtime, and unemployment taxes.

You won't be seeing a similar report for Comcast because Comcast employees don't have collective bargaining power.

EDIT: Actually just recently Disney buckled down to union pressure and proposed to raise wages, though negotiations are still happening.

Probably not, since they have different fathers? Nicole Kidman is mother to both Orm and Arthur, but presumably Orm's Atlantean father is also white, as opposed to the lighthouse-owner who Arthur was born to that we can see in the final pic.

There might actually end up being some kind of interesting racial message here.

It's probably going to end up underwater but they haven't CGI'ed things up.

That's a behind the scenes shot of the set. You can see the director right there.

edit: Also, in Justice League, it's established that Atlantians create air pockets to talk in the water.

The movie is specifically set in 1984 and the image is not just "some screens", it is clearly evocative of surveillance monitors. Not really a huge logical leap. It would also be a natural follow-up to the war themes of the first movie.

Or it could be an electronics store with a window or department display of multiple TVs like every 80s movie ever, where people stop and look at some news on one of the TVs.

Apparently during the whole Justice League reshoot kerfluffle the Aquaman team tried to convince WB to just give Superman a beard using some of the examples of the hair tech they were using for Aquaman.
