VagueRant posted:Oh, for real? I've been meaning to watch Glow for ages but the trailer (and presence of Mark Maron?) somehow convinced me it would be kinda sad and mean-spirited. That's deffo going to the top of the list then. Thanks, peeps! It starts a bit dark- early on the lead character does a bad thing that hurts her only friend- but it's all about the rebuilding. Everyone's very flawed, but they're rarely beyond redemption. A bunch of women who have problems finding a kind of common purpose in a stupid campy wrestling show.

Hah, the one episode of the new Trek that they aired on CBS ends on a cliffhanger. Like it's decent but gently caress you

Croatoan posted:They did the same with ST:TNG. Also it wasn't terribly bad! This one was written by Brian Fuller so we'll see how long into the series it remains to be good but I'm willing to eat crow so far. Yeah but you didn't have to pay to see part two. (And also I think that was just one long premiere, later split in two parts for reruns.)

The thing that confuses me about that is, it's not like Agents of SHIELD really does much in the way of marketing for the MCU movies these days. They'll mention a couple of the developments off-hand and then get on with whatever story they're telling, and the Marvel movies don't reference the series in any way. So it's odd that Disney would want to keep it around for that reason.

Croatoan posted:Well they're moving it to Fridays so consider it dead by the spring IMO. I'm pretty sure now that there's an economic incentive to make this stuff less functional. You don't want the viewer looking at the whole catalog- you want them looking at the stuff you want them to look at, because it's an original or you paid a lot to get the rights for it. It's the same with how bookstores decide what gets the fancy displays close to the entrance and what's just stuck on the shelf. And Hulu doesn't have an Instant Watcher equivalent (though I can't be sure I'm not seeing their entire movie library through the app, they seemed to lose EVERYTHING when Filmstruck started, not just the Criterions.) At this point I may just be keeping it to finish off the original Outer Limits.

Lurdiak posted:Apparently my arch nemesis found all the dragon balls and Will and Grace is back on the air? Not only that, NBC renewed it for a second season before airing anything. I kinda want to see what happens if it turns out to be a ratings disaster but it's NBC so who the gently caress would notice

Everything I've heard about All Access is such a clown show that I'm willing to wait for Discovery to eventually show up on Hulu or whatever.

What I'm saying is I'm waiting for it to fail. Could be years but I don't see these guys surviving the first market contraction.

Amy Sedaris' new show is pretty fun so far. She's delightful as ever.

The Silmarillion is still controlled by Tolkien's estate, the current executor (his grandson) being someone who's opposed to any adaptations at all. The reason we have versions of The Hobbit and LotR is because Tolkien sold those rights to Saul Zaentz back in the late 60s.

The plan is for someone to buy them out and then profitability will be their problem. That's also why they're slow on the whole "Nazis and bots everywhere" problem. They need a high user count.

Well yeah the whole Russian bot thing has kinda tanked them and now they're flailing around trying to make themselves look presentable but not actually alienating the horrible fascists. Plus there's the whole Silicon Valley "it's free exchange of ideas, man" bullshit

Slamhound posted:Nope. They don't have to do poo poo. If they "need" revenue on paper, then they'll manufacture it. But at that level of power/influence/money, they don't need poo poo. I mean in the simplest terms, payroll, overhead, keeping the lights on in the offices. Unless they've managed some deal with local governments where they just don't have to pay utilities (which is entirely possible.)

I suppose my question is, are they just doing constant refinancing or are they constantly finding new investors?

Are there any sources for this that aren't the Daily Mail? Because they are often wrong about many many things.

There may be a device where the characters switch to English just to be not so subtitle heavy.
