Is this movie about the superhero or the speed at which incels lost their life savings buying ape jpegs?

They made a huge, huge, huge effortpost. It's disturbing. I mean, there's even forecasts for future price in like 6 ways there. There's drunk and there's "my life savings is in here, let me extrapolate the ways this must happen in my favor" ways of writing.

god damnit this was exactly my first thought. "Flash, it's gone".

I can't wait to see people try to apply all sorts of logics to putting movies on the blockchain, just showing how incompatible blockchain is with common sense and normal life.

It will be offered in Mystery and Premium editions. The Mystery edition is $35, offering a Mystery bag with 16 possible combinations, and a quantity of 10,000. It includes one of four key arts (Prime Barry, Young Barry, Batman, or Supergirl) with various levels of rarity revealed after purchase, one of four explorable dynamic menu interfaces (Prime Barry’s apartment, Barry’s Childhood room, the Batcave, or the Batwing cockpit) revealed after purchase, The Flash theatrical film, and special features and digital collectibles based on the dynamic menu location.

“In this immersive Web3 experience, fans will find themselves on an exhilarating adventure with The Flash as he tries to save the future. In this interactive journey, participants will be helping The Flash navigate through the mysterious “Chronobowl,” a gateway into four dynamic menu interfaces (Prime Barry’s apartment, Barry’s childhood room, the Batcave, and the Batwing cockpit.) Fans can uncover hidden clues and along the way they’ll unlock exclusive content and behind-the-scenes footage.

“This is a chance for DC fans to own a piece of motion picture history,” said Michelle Munson, CEO and co-founder of Eluvio. This is the first time WB has released a multimedia NFT at the same time the film is in theaters. They have released two more similar experiences for Superman: The Movie and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition).

I slept with Mary and Joseph never found out
It's easy to mock but those of us who watched the transition from VHS to DVD remember how mind-blowing those first interactive menus were. When The Matrix came out on DVD, we had a movie night with the guys from work and just spent hours going through the menu selecting different language options, turning the subtitles on and off etc - we were so blown away by this dynamic experience that we never even watched the film. What's so sad about kids these days with their piracy is that often these mp4s lack that essential experience; enjoying the build up of the anti-piracy ad, then into the interactive menu, and graceful slow transitions between button presses feeding into the hype for finally being allowed to watch the film. I know everyone in this thread is skeptical but finally it looks like we found a real killer app use case for NFTs!

Ianal but bankruptcy can end in liquidation and if the proceeds don't cover the debts, investors get zilch and the lowest priority creditors get stiffed. The debt is freed from any earthly connection and can neither go to heaven nor hell.

If the funds raised from liquidation cannot pay off all debts (which they won't in the case of BBBY), then the company's creditors are paid in the order of absolute priority: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/absolutepriority.asp. The tldr is that secured debt is paid off first, then unsecured debt, and then investors. If the liquidated company runs out of money before going all the way down the list, then the remaining debts get written off. BBBY will only be able cover a small fraction of their debts, meaning that current shareholders (who have the lowest priority here) will lose 100% of their investment.

Won't the horrible mutant monkey on the nipple torture quad-copter crash when the train gets there and hits the nipple ropes? Also, lol that they had to make "Redacted" for one of the horses because they'd already assigned Gamestop to the cock rope.

In ape-world he is corruptly shorting stocks like GameStop, which will lead to his arrest and financial ruin. Apparently as a result of mighty thoroughbreds like Blockbuster and Bed Bath and Beyond.

Never heard of Ken Griffen until you just mentioned him.

So I wondered if they are asking Elon to deal with him, as they usually ask Elon to do everything to make them billionaires.
But surprisingly they have turned on Musk!
No longer licking his balls, they are butthurt Ken and Elon are buddies.
