I can tell you that once the Olympics are done, Peacock is gone from my platform. It is trash. 

Same. Second thought: what will these people do on camera to justify anyone watching? Go on fancy vacations? Sit around a carefully curated table and talk about... stuff? Maybe an unpopular position but I hate it when people use their children as entertainment content. I have hate-watched a few Kardashian episodes and…

Library card gives you access to kanopy that is free streaming of old movies, documentaries. Sign in with library card. Won’t solve all watching choices, but it’s an option.Libraries also have tons of movies, tv series to check out.Free.

I think they need—like, genuinely need—money. No one’s going to hire Alec Baldwin right now post-Rust and while mom influencers can make good money (even Hilaria after her Pero si! Yo soy Latina nonsense), they have SEVEN children in one of the most expensive cities in the world

Yeah. He was great on 30 Rock, and he was in some pretty good movies (The Hunt for Red October, for example). The “Always Be Closing” scene added to the film adaptation of Glengarry Glen Ross wouldn’t have been the same with any other actor delivering that monologue. I also love his voice as the narrator of The Royal…

I like Baldwin, professionally — like, I think he’s a good actor, and all. But doesn’t almost everyone in the world think that he personally is a huge dick?

The bit ends with him basically admitting his idea would probably never work because people are lazy.

Less programming at more cost than when all of these streamers started, of course. We know the streamers’ goal was to attract as many subscribers as fast as possible, not to build a sustainable, profitable business model. That’s why these companies borrowed billions of dollars to produce the flood of content we got…

The 700 Club plays for roughly two hours a day on Freeform because of an iron clad contract. So that’s it.

And, in the meantime, Tubi just keeps getting better and better. They’ve really upped their classic movie offerings in the past few months.

The only streaming I’m paying for right now is Starz, and that’s only because I got a $.99/month offer. I’ll be cancelling when that’s up.

Lukewarm take:  the Betelgeuse cartoon (not voiced by Keaton) was pretty damn good.

gambling is also bigger than it’s ever been so imagine there will be a lot of crossover between that and people paying to watch. probably very juicy data if a fan duel account and a peacock account use the same email to login.

felt like they were true at the time. 

That doesn’t change his/the point that Fox and the media as a whole doesn’t have to be this way. And it didn’t until the Reagan Admin revoked the Fairness Doctrine in the 80s that paved the way for Fox News madness.

TIL that Cyndi’s version is a cover!

Good point. I hope you’re not bothered if I suggest that Thor/Hemsworth actually got better (love him in Ragnok) whereas Reynolds will likely never step out of his very lucrative wheelhouse.

Is part of it not also that we've just grown up? 

Down.

I’d argue that being a dick has always been his thing. His humor has relied on sarcasm and a general dismissiveness toward other people’s feelings for a very long time. It just used to be on stage, directed at a straw man breaking the unwritten rules of society, so we tended to agree with him. There was more to it,…

this kinda boils down to “I miss when I was a kid and could just assume the adults around me were competent and caring.”
