5 buxx gets you 3 months of Mockbusters, geezer teasers, straight to video tier garbage. And that’s just the stuff netflix, Disney, Hulu, quibi and paramount+ removed

And the larger these companies get, the more art and culture become "assets" to be destroyed for government discounts.

Crazy that we're just moving back into network TV from the 80s, where either you somebody with specialized equipment who recorded it or you watched it in the small window that it was available. They could bring this stuff back to the service, though, and call it "reruns".

It's full of genuinely excellent old films who's ownership rights are expired and runs the gamut all the way to total loving poo poo that is several notches below straight to dvd. Like, home movie level stuff. It's the last streaming service that's actually more fun to browse than it is to watch stuff on and that's a compliment. Also, it's crazy that, of all these lovely services, somehow Amazon Prime seems to be the least cynically run. That is loving amazing.

Tubi has the entire Josh Kirby Time Warrior series so I was finally able to see the sixth episode after 20 years. A+ service

I don't there's anything cynical about Amazon Prime streaming because they just put anything on there. It's like the place to discover things on Neil Breen's level of production.

Look at how there's literally no options available in the US for cheap cars anymore. This is still some bullshit. I paid 12k for my car back in 2018. The same model with around the same mileage is no closer to 18k. We want to replace my partners car but the only thing we can afford is something that's pretty much the same age and miles

Feldegast42 posted:Also Narnia is hella Christian and if you want to adapt that side of it (and honestly you kind of need to for a proper adaptation) you have to have people that at the very least won't immediately turn it into Evangelical propaganda Hard disagree, give it to the God’s Not Dead guys with a 9 digit budget and let them cook. Sanding off the Christian stuff just leads to the opposite problem the Golden Compass has and leave you with a film a lot more boring than it should be. Let them double down.

Apparently the pilot of Wheel of Time had 10,000 notes by Amazon producers. They have like policies that state you need an action scene within the first min of a new show, cliffhangers, etc doodled out by software execs who have no experience with being creative. I mean that being seen as creative freedom just shows how poo poo they're competitors are, who are mostly private equity monsters

People who had no exp with music so greenlit whatever musicians could convince would be popular instead of trying to affix their notion of what "good music" is due to being fans.

Oh, I meant purely in terms of their catalogue. There's tons of great poo poo on there that no one could care about, that an algorithmic approach like Disney's or Netflix's would have memory holed years ago, but that Amazon just leaves there. Masses of old kung fu movies, forgettable but kind of interesting 90s thrillers, zero budget sci fi films, classic westerns. I have no doubt that working on their mega budget shows is as miserable an experience as it is everywhere else. There's some comparable horror stories from their lord of the rings show.

A friend from college posted something about seeing that movie in the theater and it being an extremely moving experience, and how sad it is that it's all definitely true and that there are more victims of sex trafficking being held as slaves in America today than there were slaves in America pre-civil war (there definitely aren't).

Isn't that kind of a recurring thing with Qanon, where the statistics are so ludicrously high (like 1 in 10 children getting kidnapped) that they should be immediately noticeable in everyday life

It's, like, not even the interesting Kinski-kind of insanity where you are legitimately captured by the guy's intensity despite knowing what a loving shithead he is. It's just, this guy is a shithead with shithead ideas, the kind of guy who makes me feel sorry I watched any of his movies. He probably thought he was the good guy in the first Escape Plan.
