If you're on the fence about Paramount Plus they're doing a special with $1 for the first three months. It is funny how they're advertising it as the service's "birthday" while completely ignoring that it was just the same thing as CBS All Access.

I'm pretty sure the entire media industry has figured out a scam where if they just alternate $1 sales every few months I'll keep on the hook and lose somehow. Like I know its actually that they're counting on the fact that I can't remember to cancel once the sale price is gone. And lots of people probably do fall for that. But I keep feeling like I'm missing the scam as me 3 months of 99 cent Epix give way to 3 months of $1 Paramount+. But its probably me just realizing I didn't watch much on Epix in those 3 months.

"Did you say 'Cancel'??? Well in that case, here's an extra 3 months free!" At this stage they're still worried about subscriber number quarterly goals than actual dollars. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Mar 2, 2022 |

Considering the USMNT plays two matches at the end of March that might be paywalled behind Paramount+, I might as well bite the bullet.

Thanks for reminding me of this, I always get grouchy when their games aren't easily available and I would've forgotten about this promo I'm sure. Shame Ink Master episodes on there are just the regular season ones, as there's an episode or two of the Specials that I've not been able to find.

It's weird how Paramount has apparently been a company for years but when CBS All Access became Paramount + they both had the same near-zero amount of stuff to watch. Technically there are double the Treks around around but otherwise Paramount+ is mostly good for scrollnig through to get that feeling of the early 00s surfing the cable menu on the weekend with nothing interesting on until you find something not so uninteresting as to make you prefer surfing more.

Speaking of, I saw that they have Moonbeam City on the service and while that show wasn't good per se it did have some high points. Like Will Forte just continuously naming fake albums in a bid to seem cool.

Apparently alum is something used in pickling according to the surprisingly low amount of articles that pop up on Google? https://gunaxin.com/seven-myths-seven-classic-cartoons "First of all, let's take a look at what Alum really is. Because according to the cartoons, any substantial mouthful will shrink your head to humorous Beetlejuice-like proportions. Basically, because Alum was used in pickling brines (due to its astringent, sweetish, acidic properties) and was very useful and potent at shrinking cucumbers into said pickles, it only made sense that as a comedy vehicle it would, when mixed into whatever the victim was going to eat, would shrivel the mouth/face/head and make them unable to even speak, or make them hit a really high octave. And therein lies your funny. Bugs used this device a time or two, the most well-known of which was this particular cartoon titled Long-Haired Hare from 1948. During this exciting episode, we find the titular bunny doing his classic battle with opera singer, Giovanni Jones. If you haven't seen this, you can imagine where the Alum might come into play." I guess people used to do a whole lot more pickling from their garden vegetables than we do today so it's pickling effects would be more commonly known.

Sekhmnet posted:https://gunaxin.com/seven-myths-seven-classic-cartoons Yeah this always cracks me up about early-century cartoons, how they indirectly demonstrate how much closer to the land the audience was. Everyone pickled and canned vegetables all the time, everyone did their own gardening, everyone used home remedies like castor oil, everyone who didn't live in New York City (and have to constantly dodge construction sites and pianos being hoisted into penthouses) lived on a farm and all their comedy was based around the antics of chickens and cows.

If she wasn't lovely to service workers I'd maybe find something amusing about her grifting dumbass rich new yorker buffoons, but as-is can't handle it.

I was also hoping the show would explore how Vivian the journalist was very much guilty of the same crimes as Anna, just browbeating and blackmailing sources until they agreed to go on the record, but when I got to the part where her water broke and she calls the trainer to guilt and shame her into being on the record and everyone in her office stands up and claps in the most Sorkin way possible, I knew that wouldn't happen.

I'm glad that so far on Severance, Petey didn't immediately become that sci-fi/thriller panicking character being chased that shows up with information just to be killed almost immediately. I was so prepared for that to be the case and pleasantly surprised when it didn't happen.

I don't like Our Flag Means Death. It's weird enough that I want to like it, and I'll probably finish out the season, but I also didn't really laugh. The vibe's pretty cool, the sets are very obviously stagey but everyone's very gross and weird, kinda like a Terry Gilliam film without the insane camera set ups and maybe not quite as smart? But I guess if the jokes work for you then the show works, and they didn't work for me so...

Super Pumped has Joseph Gordon Levitt playing the Uber CEO and Quentin Tarrantino is doing the narration for some reason. But the show just feels like a cheap knockoff of The Big Short. I think it's because Uber doesn't have interesting people, they are all just assholes.

There's nothing interesting about the story of Travis Kalanick; rich techbro gets it into his head to "disrupt" an industry, skirts and sometimes outright breaks every law in sight, and fosters a toxic atmosphere of misogyny, then gets forced out. With Theranos, there's at least some fascinating layers of the onion to unpeel, like how loving weird Elizabeth Holmes is, how bizarre and shady Sunny Balwani is, all of the weird poo poo they did to defraud investors and vendors and the FDA, etc. Bad Blood is a hell of a read.

The thing I’m saddest about wrt Elden Ring taking up all my time (well, I’m not sad at all, this is basically the best game ever) is that I haven’t gotten to watch more Severance past the excellent first episode. Soon!! The only shows I’ve caught up with and now finished are Euphoria (great but messy), Gemstones (underwhelming finale but overall killer season), and The Afterparty just now (fantastic show, and I correctly guessed the killer! although so did most everyone else)

I called it after episode one! And you said i was mad! Mad! I was completely wrong about most everything else though. This Theranos current affairs drama thing has killer needle drops, and it's directed fairly well. Surprisingly compelling. Michael Showalter strikes again -- excited for Season 3, when things will have escalated so far that the cast are trying to fight off Antarctic sea pirates. I haven't liked Amanda Seyfried in a role this much since Big Love. Naveen Andrews is wonderfully weird and pathetic, he's really blossomed into a good character actor himself (not that he was ever bad at all).
