Making something better than Planet of the Apps will not be very hard. It's sad though, at the beginning I thought they would be bringing in small developers and indies, but all apps that get reviewed have at least hundreds of thousands of investment already in.
I watched an episode b/c of Jessica Alba, fond memories of her in Dark Angel. Not quite sure what I was expecting but this was definitely not it.
Johnny-come-lately but with a big bank roll... Might work this time but I have doubts old Sony execs can pull off anything on par with GoT or HoC. We'll likely just get more warmed-over remakes of successful old TV shows from the 80's and 90's.
Apple, the company that can't even draw a gun (emoji), is going to compete in Hollywood? Anyways here's to hoping we end up with at least a few good shows out of all this competition.
Ugh, sorry to be that guy but I can't remember the trick to get past the paywall and the web link doesn't seem to be working. Can someone remind me how to access the article?
Twitter worked for me - https://mobile.twitter.com/martinapennisi/status/89777774905...
