I dunno…Netflix sure handles my shitty DSL well…all my other Roku apps stutter but Netflix works like a dream.

I'll pay $8.99 if they let me rewrite the last five minutes of the last episode.

Yep. But if Hulu were smart, it would do deals with all streaming services and be the gatekeeper who lets us pick certain shows. That would turn Hulu from Definite Loser to Definite Winner. So simple. Think they'll do something so obvious? Naaaahhh.

Since Hulu is worthless as a streaming service due to having ads, they should extend this Showtime deal to its logical conclusion by becoming the gatekeeper for the plethora of services that will soon be inflicted on us, causing consumer confusion and aggravation due to too many choices, too much expense, and too much…

Same here. My laptop is for work. My Roku stays hooked to the TV. Don't wanna keep swapping stuff out.

Someday I'll see if I can get HBO via Google Play on my Roku…when I'm motivated…too damn much stuff to watch on Netflix right now…I'm three seasons behind GoT and don't care…maybe when HBO launches Westworld…

If they do it right, err, "right," it will be moronic, short snippets of video aimed at attracting the under 35 crowd to watching ads. Remember, ad-supported TV is doomed, DOOMED! So where are those ads going to land?

They really bought AOL for its ad serving platform. Verizon is trying to create the ad-supported analog to subscription-supported streaming, and somebody's gotta do it, it's too obvious to ignore.

They said "critical acclaim," not "derision and contempt (when it's not being ignored outright.)"

Netflix should make a comedy series about a puerile idiot who offends everyone yet still gets hired because his idiocy makes money for Hollywood.

More likely he'll dress up as Sacheen Littlefeather in "redface."

Crackle is trying to make the no-subscription/ad-supported model work, so they need stupid shit to attract the sort of stupid people who are influenced by ads. Maybe Sandler should go work for them.

This is interesting. Netflix appears to be trying to re-create the entire range of TV shows and movies, so we can all assemble our own personal Me Channel - the only channel that matters - from their library. That requires not only prestige dramas like House of Cards but puerile idiocy like Adam Sandler. Can they…

So that WAS an intentional parody? That explains a lot.

Joe Flanigan and Kristin Johnson as Jason & Gwen. It could work. Somehow they gotta have the actors be filming the rebooted Galaxy Quest while simultaneously fighting an alien invasion with the help of Jim Parson and Mathasar and Aubrey Plaza as Leilani or whatever her name was…

Yeah, I've read a lot of first person accounts from the Civil War era. That's the only way to get a legit sense of things. The war would have been impossible without the fact back then, states were more like independent nations, and people could be loyal to the idea of Virginia like people are loyal to the idea of…

Watch Man in the High Castle, skip the rest.

Stephen Strange is from Nebraska, whitest state in the Union well maybe Utah or Idaho has it beat but it's pretty damn white.
