Yeah it seems like yesterday when they were trying to do the prestige TV thing or bring back niche shows like MST3K. Now most of what they produce is trash. Amazon has them beat on quality, and Disney holds all of the big IP cards.

The Witcher is pretty much the last thing I watch on Netflix.

Amazon, Disney and even Apple have more interesting stuff. The Apple one has been the fastest growth and they have some genuinely good 2nd tier stuff on there as well. (Ie not the flagship stuff but still good, especially the documentaries).

Once netflix puts in ads they will lose so many subscribers.

It has the best film selection with no ads and is only $7.99 a month.

And not one star war or marvel.

Yeah I got rid of Netflix earlier this year because there's just nothing really on it anymore of quality, and their prices have just gotten higher and higher. I think I was paying more for Netflix than HBO Max which has a pretty strong content stream most of the time.

Reminds me of the old reality show called Pirate Master, that was so unwatchable that after 8 episodes CBS put the final 6 episodes on their website, way back in 2007.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
I just watched Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, which came out only a year apart and yet are very different distinctly 90s styles. And while Street Fighter is unarguably the better movie (Raul Julia was a gem), Mortal Kombat ends with Halcyon On and On so it has its merits.

I am watching SNW in random episode order. Digging the human cast and Spock so far, they seem real characters and the over world is pretty live in.

That white alien crew member is however look very ugly and fake.

I got to say, an uber luxurious ship really enhance the viewing experience.

BTW, is this Spock the same Spock in TNC or this is an alternate timeline?

Mortal Kombat is a legitimately decent martial arts flick for its era while Street Fighter has one redeeming performance. There is no argument necessary.

Mortal Kombat is probably the thread favorite for video game movies. They did a pretty good job considering the budget and when the movie was made. SF sucks poo poo anytime Raul Julia isn't on-screen.

It looks like a discount stage production and there is approximately one good martial arts fight. The Ray Harryhausen bad guy is the only other redeeming feature and he goes out like a chump in a bunch of bad cuts and weird angles

Street Fighter is pure ham.

Sure, but he's onscreen a lot, and it's so wonderfully goofy.

They have a show called "Is It Cake?" where contestants look at items and try to choose which are cake and then make an item out of cake to fool others.

I hated Mortal Kombat in the 90s because "wah, not like game"

Then I got older and it's an all-time banger. It whips rear end.

Street Fighter is an embarrassing unwatchable shitheap but Raul Julia owns.

They are both garbage movies. The difference is Street Fighter was recognized as garbage on release day. At least dumbass teens enjoyed MK at the time.

Plus they turned the Street Fighter movie into a game, and it is the WORST SF game in the entire series. Movie failed twice, it was a proto Morbius.

One day when I was a young child my father took me to see Mortal Combat. But early in the movie when Scorpion showed up, I got very frightened and peed myself. My father walked me out of the theater horribly ashamed of me and the giant wet spot on my pants. When we got into the car, he told me that I would never be a real man and he wished he had a better son.

To this day I still immediately and violently void my bladder whenever I see even a single clip from that movie.

Mortal Kombat is astoundingly cheap looking because they absolutely went to town with the 90s CGI, and everything else looks like it was dressed by a community theatre and has all of four people on screen at once.
