I just looked and they're raising the price of my Netflix to $13.99. I thought I already paid that anyway so I checked and apparently I've been paying $13.09. So yeah, sure, 90c whatever.

I feel I could save money by only resubbing to Netflix a couple of times a year then catching on all the shows I care about but I’m so incredibly lazy I just give them money for poo poo I rarely use.

I know and I hate it. I mean that's cool that they're doing their own things. I do enjoy a lot of them. But I feel like Hulu has so much more in actual televised content as well as old movies. But still, we share accounts with my in-laws (we pay for Hulu and they pay for Netflix), so I can't be too mad about it.

Take a page out of my book...we only ever watch that crap on her birthday. On my wife's birthday, we watch whatever she wants - Titanic, The Notebook, Sex in the City, etc. On the reverse, we only ever watch Star Wars either when a new movie comes out or on May the 4th. Totally works.

Does your wife have even an inkling of what its like to work a job, be an adult, or have an ounce of self respect? If so she wont make it past the first season. Its such a painful timebubble on top of that.

Also the second movie is like, aggressively ignorant of what actual struggle is.

SATC2 takes everything that I hold dear as a woman and as a human—working hard, contributing to society, not being an entitled oval office like it's my job—and rapes it to death with a stiletto that costs more than my car. It is 146 minutes long, which means that I entered the theater in the bloom of youth and emerged with a family of field mice living in my long, white mustache. This is an entirely inappropriate length for what is essentially a home video of gay men playing with giant Barbie dolls.

The scene referenced at the end of that article is probably the single most haunting sequence in film history and absolutely not for a single one of the reasons the entire production company intended.

Wouldn't that have been Friends? I admittedly didn't watch Sex In the City but I remember reading something about Monica's apartment being absurdly expensive and out of reach for a bunch of supposed 20-somethings. It was explained away by saying she lied about her grandmother or someone still living there and being on the lease so it was rent controlled.

Now that Im all mad about this dumb movie I need to point out another thing about iit. The film is theoretically about feminine bonding and empowerment in Abu Dhabi. The film could not be made in that country because it is against the law, as depicted in the film, so the film is actually an inception level fantasy of bringing female empowerment to Abu Dhabi.

That's true of every show set in New York. How I Met Your Mother had a good gag where after spending a weekend in the suburbs the Manhattan apartment shrunk noticeably.

Im normally fine with such thing, but in a film where life affirming feminity is being able to afford a hundred thousand dollar+ vacation and thousand dollar+ womens undergarments it comes across as yet another complete willful ignorance of reality for the purpose of creating a more captilist friendly interpretation of social issues.
