I binged the first and second seasons while building my first custom bicycle and the LEGO Shuttle Discovery set respectively. I've been chasing that comfortable dragon ever since  . Nothing will top those two experiences.

Really like the Adam Sandler special on Netflix. It's cool to actually see him look like he's enjoying himself, rather than walking dead eyed through a lovely comedy movie. Edit: ah gently caress, that Chris Farley tribute got me A Proper Uppercut fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Nov 3, 2018 |

It came up a few pages ago, but yeah i was going to say exactly this. I grew up watching his stand up and singing/guitar bits and his early movies, and ended up hating whatever he made afterwards. This entire show is just going into what made him famous in the first place, and it was actually really good. Near the end was a really touching Chris Farley Tribute, and it got me too.

the_tasman_series posted:Any other good ‘unlisted’ movies on prime? A bunch. Pretty much every recommended movie or TV in this thread that is available on Prime, I've had to search multiple times. There have also been times that if I'm using one of the four Roku devices in the house, I have to use my phone or PC, search, add it to my watch list and then get back on the TV and find it from there. It especially sucks when it's one of those situations where it's a movie popular enough to have multiple releases and various cuts available on Amazon but only one streams for free. Also, I can pretty much guarantee that if you want something like the exploitation movies or old/obscure horror, you will never find it just hanging out on your Roku, Fire, PS3/PS4, etc. menu without putting it on your watch list beforehand. Lots of good hidden gems.

So Amazon Prime is now advertising their original shows before anything you watch on there. At least it's not straight up commercials yet, like Hulu which plays the exact same commercial every commercial break.

Well, the Mrs wanted to watch The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and it just wasn't for me. I know I wasn't supposed to associate it so much with Sabrina: The Teenage Witch, but I couldn't help it. I kept wanting it to be a horror show that had a comedic self-awareness to it, but it just wasn't. (Full disclosure, I have no familiarity with the source comics.) The fact that it lent so heavily into the horror and violence made it's more comedic lines/scenes that much more bizarre. I did find it kinda entertaining in the third episode how they managed to work in Daniel Webster as a character. Otherwise, I thought the plot was so back and forth and what kept happening to Sabrina was just confusing.

Apparently the Church of Satan is threatening to sue Netflix over Sabrina’s use of the Baphomet statue they say is their copyright. https://www.thisisinsider.com/satanists-want-to-sue-netflix-sabrina-design-statue-2018-10 The statues honestly looks similar but it’s also the pretty much standard look I’ve seen in just about any depiction of him.

I actually find the Church of Satan quite endearing. This is the Satanic Temple, which is a different thing entirely that mostly does First Amendment activism.

To give an iota of fair shake to the Satanic Temple, the statue in the show kind of is obviously cribbing from their statue. I recognized it instantly watching the show, it specifically even has the same two children flanking him in the same positions.

I just realized I forgot to watch The Terror (I read the book when it first came out and loved it). If I was to get AMC Premiere for $4.99 a month, can I watch the first season? I can't tell from the website, but I Comcast OnDemand doesn't have it.
