How the hell does Tubi have the amount of content that they do for free? It's like two or three major streaming services combined.

Same reason (or justification) all the streamers have gone in on original content: the potential market of people who just want to watch old stuff does not grow or even change appreciably.

Do you know how much an ad impression costs per viewer on Tubi or Amazon, or are you just talking out your rear end? Also Prime is not going entirely ad supported, you can still buy your way out of it for 7 bucks a month.

Tubi's great yeah. I don't even mind the ads cuz they're just like one minute intermissions where I put the tv on mute and read/do some random chores/smoke a bowl.

Live action One Piece was really fun. I've never watched the anime or anything, but solid fun adventure show, leans way into the cartoonish elements at times but it's a vibe and well done.

feedmyleg posted:It really is where 90% of the things I want to watch pop up. I am still working through Babylon 5 for the first time. Middle of watching season 1, it randomly dropped from Roku TV and showed up on Tubi. I am almost at the end of season 4 now, and this show goes to some pretty interesting places. But overall really good. The interrogation episode was really good. And the Garbaldi reveal wasn’t super surprising, but done well. The shadow war resolution seemed to get taken care of a little too quickly, but it wasn’t terrible. And I can definitely see it’s influence in some current sci-fi properties.

I love Pluto and Roku Tv for having channels that are just 1 show. I can watch Trebek Jeopardy episodes 24/7, or price is right, or iron chef. It’s great.

Genuinely I could make a 30 Movies You Have To See Immediately list and every single one would be on Tubi rn. And I'd miss like 30 more. Kinda unsettling.

Tubi rules because it's a replacement vehicle for all the lovely action movies that you could only see on random basic cable channels in the 80s and 90s.

The fact that Amazon saw good enough numbers from their freevee platform to push that as the basic service for everyone and the fact that most of the major platform owners also own FAST services (Fox Corp owns Tubi, Paramount owns Pluto, Amazon as previously noted owns FreeVee) sure indicates that it's an extremely profitable revenue stream, enough to undercut their subscription platforms.

It's not extremely profitable so much as it's reliably profitable, which is more important. Many of these businesses have zero fundamentals, they straight up change what their product is supposed to be on a whim. It was easier for Netflix to get away with this when it was the only game in town.

Watched on Tubi recently: Winter Kills just finished this...70s paranoid political thriller ala The Conversation and The Parallax View. Not as good as those but pretty drat good. Young Jeff Bridges...Sterling Hayden, Eli Wallach, Toshiro Mifune, and Anthony Perkins (with a great lil mini-Network style monologue) in supporting roles...but the pièce de résistance, John Huston chewing the gently caress out of the scenery as a character that is essentially Joe Kennedy. Brian De Palma's Redacted I get why people rag on this (I think it's a bit facile to call it a retread of Casualties of War, that and the on the nose dialogue and archetypes are part of the point) but it's the closest an American has ever come to making an honest film about the Iraq War (and they tried to redact Redacted!).

I would like to rescind my previous harsh assessment of Wes Anderson's Netflix shorts to say the others are much less grating because they're only 17 minutes long and only feature one main narrator with a few brief interjections of Fiennes-as-Dahl instead of five narrators going one after the other 'Poison' is the standout, and the only subject matter that really benefits from the format, but the other two are...fine. They're fine.

The Swan was awful. Having an adult narrator stand in for the child protagonist for most of it and flatly monalogue at the camera the whole time, completely defangs what on the page is one of the most frightening things Dahl ever wrote.

I mean they all (including Asteroid City lol) have the problem of a flat monologue removing any tension or emotion but in that case the cruelty described was so extreme I think a bit of separation actually helped it a bit. On the flipside, the Ratcatcher is so goofy that leaning into the farce was fine, and Poison is easily the best because they actually do acting and like, blocking and moving around and stuff like a real movie

Watching the new TMNT movie on Paramount+ with my kids, and hey this is pretty good. Interesting look, good soundtrack, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest; MOP - Ante Up was a surprisingly hard choice for this kids movie.
