Pirating is sadly the only way to go at this point, but I doubt we'll ever see these fuckers pay for their greed, unless pirating becomes more mainstream, which I doubt considering the state of blind consumerism and brand loyalty.
But speaking of consumerism, I still haven't seen any hype or ads for IX aside from a TV spot which finally started airing this week. The streets are barren except for Joker ads and an ad for that Blue Sky pigeon movie starring Will Smith. And the Plan 9 merch is still non-existent around here, with the only thing being a rack of unsold PEZ dispensers at grocery stores I talked about before, but those got taken down the other day. I assume its because they weren't selling. Before that, those PEZ dispensers were the only things that reminded me that Plan 9 existed. Now all that's left is some rare TV spots of which I've only seen one so far.
Pretty much. I mostly agree with Itchy on things, but I prefer to keep my political and SW discussions separate. I mean, I'll bash any Disney Wars fuck-up for hamfisting modern political nonsense into SW, but I personally don't care what some obnoxious soy latte-sipping asshole or anyone thinks or what they stand for as long as they don't let it slip into their work, unless it has an actual use to the plot that's not about being preachy, and not something like having an idiot soyboy author depict Admiral Holdo telling us about how wonderful it is that she is so "forward-thinking" and wants us to know the joys of soypro, veganism and the evils of being a man like Poe.
Anyway, here's some potential news:
Apparently a special screening of Plan 9 was shown this week and people actually walked out of the theater before the film was done. We are looking at levels of disgust that may surpass LOSS and Into Darkness. Maybe even, dare I say, GoT and TLJ.

There's also a rumor claiming that Disney basically had to (or still is) remaking the entirety of IX. Imagine. Two whole movies were made out of fear. The budget for this shit must be insane.
