The reason cable over IP was never pushed is because the logical step for that is to just be cable via apps on phones and smart TVs, which the cable company very much does not want because they still want to charge you $10 a month for box full of twenty year old tech you need to use to watch cable with(per TV).   …

much as i loathe STD (aka the Michael Burnham Experience), it can hardly be said that Star Trek is dead. Strange New Worlds is going strong, there’s a new Starfleet Academy teen drama coming. Lower Decks is an animated hit and Prodigy seems to have survived. There’s that extremely random Michelle Yeoh TV movie coming…

Honestly I’d probably rather get force choked than deal with a room of those ghoulish CEOs.

Don’t look at it til everyone’s out of the room to be safe...

With video game movies being all the rage I assume this is an adaptation of the recent Lord of the Rings: Gollum by Daedalic Entertainment.

The biggest problem with cable was always that you had to get an entire expensive package to get it at all. You’re paying a lot of money for a bunch of stuff you never use. And you couldn’t just cancel and resubscribe when you wanted.

Someone doesn’t understand corporate agency or entities.

Yes, Apple still exists as an entity. Its past deeds still belong to it. 

Sports and hidden/equipment fees are the biggest drivers of how cable/sat package prices got out of control. You could legit knock your bill in half taking those out.

It’s just regular old PEMDAS: Paramount+, Exponents, Max, Disney+, Apple TV+, and Subtraction

I’m sure this will probably end up still being a better deal than cable... up until the companies get a little greedy and decide to make it the same deal or worse.

“Look, you’re not drafted into the Real Housewives. You either want to be on the show or not,”

Imagine that, an employer who makes a shit ton of money off the backs of his employees doesn’t like the idea of them gaining more leverage and protections.

You didn’t have to pay for broadcast TV.

I have had Prime since it began and I now fly the Jolly Roger for videos.

Great interview. Pine seemed like a very thoughtful and humble dude.

“This is a really dense film and I was told many times to cut it. I was like, ‘I just don’t want to cut it,’” he said. “I just find it very funny.”

Yea but just think of the value this is bringing to the shareholders!

“ARR, Mateys!”

Chris Pine:  How much could a shabby apartment in LA cost?  Ten dollars?

OMG that’s disgusting! Where did you acquire these episodes so I know where to not look.
