Is what how I act all the time? I actually don’t care for the constant Barsanti-bashing either. He’s not great but he’s not the anti-Christ. That said, some days the lack of respect for the reader on this site is more egregious than others. If you find it so insufferable that people write things on the internet that…

Well apparently I’m not that smart. I’ve been paying $19.99 a month for Netflix Premium, which means, straight from Netflix’s site: “Watch on 4 different devices at the same time with Premium”. So how was that stealing if my girlfriend or parents want to what something at the same time? Since, you know, I was already…

I like how we keep berating the writers when we all know this place has the budget of a lemonade stand.

I’ve said it before: I’d like for Netflix to institute some plan where, for an additional cost not equivalent to the full price, one can add another household; it seems like that might bring in more money in the long run by retaining more watchers. I share my password with my mom because she’s on a fixed income and…

Seems weird to pretend that going from HBO Go to HBO Now to HBO Max to Max in a few years isn’t a confusing bit of branding. I mean sure I kept up just fine personally but it’s obviously dumb and potentially confusing for anyone not keeping up.

Seems like the fantasy is that you think they don’t like HBO Max. There were some problems at launch and it’s been an unnecessary series of branding changes over the years, but it’s been a fine platform. The problem is the continued confusing branding and another troubled launch. I thought it was a pretty easy story…

“Sir! We’re receiving reports that some random dipshit hasn’t purchased our service and has no intention of doing so! Should we send the Flix Force Squad in with the Clockwork Orange contraption?”

Same. My kids are always logging in from various devices and I’m responsibly contacting them to make sure its not some rando, but I *do* pay for an account where they have their own user profiles. What do I care if they are watching on an old ipad at their dad’s, or at some other kid’s house at a sleepover? Also, like…

What money? Nobody here makes any money.

They are very unclear on how this all works. They say it’s just for your household but that you can use it on the go but they don’t explain how they determine “your household”.  Are the restricting access to one IP at a time?   Or some other method?  What if my wife wants to watch a show on her lunch break and I do…

If my child can be claimed on my taxes they can use my Netflix account. 

I am still calling it Warner Max

For anyone interested PBS is running a documentary about the early seventies (late sixties?) band Fanny, airing at 10PM EST Monday.

There was a rumor in the physical media space that Disney might pivot back to physical releases because their streaming revenue hasn’t met expectations, and there’s potentially money to be made. But who the fuck knows.

I would like the Disney executive who made this decision to break the news to my 10-year-old who rewatches The Mysterious Benedict Society every month. 

Ryan Seacrest might be AI. Well, A anyway.

It’s not really a show with great characters, or even great plots. It’s just a vehicle for some great jokes.

Milquetoast with extra vanilla icing, please!  Asked nobody.

Like the Simpsons, 30 Rock has a lot of song-parody moments that stick with me for years after and ultimately replace the original in my head. Can’t hear “Midnight Train” without thinking “I missed it! (He missed it!)” or “Empire State of Mind” without thinking “concrete bunghole where dreams are made up, there’s…

It’s smart for the Writers Guild to jump on this. The machine models out there right now can’t even write a Wikipedia article that makes sense for more than a second, let alone a dramatic script that makes sense, but the tech is going to get better, and the developers of these tools are just going to chuck every…
