For $5, you don't get RuPaul's Drag Race or RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, just the international editions of the show, and all of their free youtube content.

feedmyleg posted:Fringe streaming services are so vastly cooler than the big guys I don't know if I'd consider Pluto fringe anymore. I'll give Viacom/CBS credit for this: Ever since they acquired Pluto, they've done a really good job of getting the back catalog of CBS and Paramount owned old TV shows on there. There's stuff on there that's not on Paramount Plus for whatever reason.

I stopped watching Pluto after it kept serving me non-stop alt-right propaganda during the ad breaks. Has it calmed down a bit?

This was in Colorado a couple years ago and included things like people pretending to be healthcare workers attacking access to healthcare. They were pretty nasty political ads and the same ones would play over and over again during a show so it got real tiresome.

Last Action Hero is as not-terrible as I remember from seeing it on TV as a kid. Enjoying some of the stunt coordination. Really not bad as a dumb action movie from its era, and not a computer generated image in sight. Some so-so greenscreening though.

Watched "Horrible Bosses 2". Reminds me of the pre-2010s where sequels were virtually always worse than the originals. The film was a step down from the first in everyway (which wasn't even that strong to begin with). And the ending undermines so much of the original.

I remember a post-mortem about ten years ago that revealed that even the execs who greenlit the film were more excited to see Jurassic Park.

Inventing Anna on Netflix is about what you'd expect. If the real life story wasn't so incredible, it probably wouldn't be very believable.

Finished Ozarks, kinda realized with this half-season release that it's hard to be compelling when you wouldn't really mind if any character died at any point. Like, I don't really want Marty to get away? Finished Boba Fett, baffling at how they made an enormous fight sequence in Tatooine featuring two jet packed bounty hunters laying waste to a crime syndicate boring. Thirteen year old me would be very disappointed. Caught up on Peacemaker, incredibly good. Far and away better than every MCU show by a huge margin. Crazy how much better it is when the creator doesn't have to conform to strict templates in terms of style/etc. Started watching Justified again because I never finished it back in the day, kinda forgot how case-of-the-week it starts out but I remember it getting great later on?

Was just telling a friend how angry young medullah would have been when I told him how dull I found a show about Boba Fett. It's not bad, just meh He'd also be angry at how fat I got, but that's neither here nor there. I think I'm at the point now where I almost don't care about Star Wars media about existing characters in the franchise. They have such a fantastic world of lore to work from and we're just hitting the same beats over and over again. I'm more excited about the return of Robocobb than I am about Ashoka or Kenobi.

Thirteen year old me would be very disappointed. Boba Fett felt like a dramatized version of a child playing with his Star Wars toys and smashing them together. I wanna see that final fight scene with a 6 year old narrating. "And-then then the rancor, he jump on the building and Boba riding on him and he smash down and braggghhhhh! he smash the robots." * Also he didn't have enough Star Wars toys and had to dig into some reboot toys or something, which is the only explanation I have for the mod squad. * yes I am imagining the kid from the Onion Fast and Furious bit.

Her accent in Ozark sucked too. I'm surprised it got less pushback than it did. As a deep southern person, it was not good.

Her real life accent is muddled.

Nihonniboku posted:Abbott Elementary is surprisingly funny and is on Hulu. Grand Crew was also surprisingly funny, it's on Peacock. Abbott Elementary is like the best first season of a sitcom that I can recall, all of the characters are great and they all play off each other expertly Grand Crew is also available on Hulu! I didn't think I'd like it based on the ads but it's actually pretty good if a little uneven American Auto is reasonably funny too (also on Hulu, but I swear this post is not sponsored by Hulu...)

Ok, so I finally finished The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window and it is indeed good and funny. I don’t know if I care enough to watch a second season if they end up making more, but we’ll see. The first few episodes are more low key, episodes 4 and 5 are when it really starts to get ridiculous. The bread texting was funny but my favorite part was (2nd to last episode) ”He’s still working on the mailbox! What?!”
