Not me, I don't think. The "they hosed up" folks seem to just think its all about the Netflix and Hulu thing and debuting new content constantly with a loaded schedule. I figured it was gonna be carried fine by the vault but I did kind of have that underestimated to "just" MCU/Star Wars/Simpsons/Disney Movies/Disney Channel stuff. I kind of forgot how many movies were "Disney Movies" beyond just the classic animated stuff or how much animated stuff Marvel had or like wildlife documentary stuff and more. I even kind of forgot they had the Muppets. Definitely underestimated how much Disney owns.

No it wasn't you. In yesterday's earnings call Iger said D+ is up to 26m subs from 10m at launch, with about 20% being from the Verizon deal (a smaller proportion than the 33% at launch) Looks like all the new MCU stuff will hit before those subs lapse anyway, so that'll be the incentive to re-up.

One of the first things I did with Disney+ was fire up Flight of the Navigator and disappear into a nostalgia hole. Been so long since I've seen the whole movie and never in HD. The SFX still hold up really well (some of the earliest use of CGI) and it's nice that it doesn't have mustache twirling bad guys. The antagonists are nuanced, they aren't bad guys and generally mean well if they are a bit misguided. I loved the movie as a kid and it holds up I think.

Wasn't Willow the one about the lady who turns into a hawk? I didn't like it but the 5 pointed twirly ninja star was pretty cool.

Willow has a character falling in love with... A bird? Chicken? I don't remember a hawk woman in Krull, but a guy turns into a hawk or eagle to meet a fantasy movie woman in the series Maniac.

No, Willow definitely had a lady that turned into a hawk and I think a dude also turned into a wolf or something at night? There is definitely a really buff devil dude in it with like big horns or something.

The unicorn's horn wobble in Willow was a bit too obvious, and Tom Cruise was a little too sexy. Though even if you don't like the movie, you've gotta admit it was rad when James Earl Jones turned into a snake.

And everybody keeps screaming gently caress YOU PIECE OF poo poo at Jeff as they walk around because they think he's harvey weinstein

If there are any Survivor fans on here, I can not recommend the latest episode of Australian Survivor enough (episode 3). It was one of the best episodes of the show in history (including the US version). It's one of those masterfully told end to end episodes so you don't need to watch anything prior, and the show (and this episode in particular) does a fine job of filling in gaps with flashbacks and previously ons. Check it out with a VPN on the tenplay site or PM me if you're having trouble finding it.

Whenever friends come to town, and I get to take them round I excitedly point out the Flight of the Navigator house (the first one, not the one they move to). Nobody ever cares as much as me. The movie absolutely holds up too, I agree. (The house is worth about $4.5m, which I assume includes the parking space for the space ship at that price).

Sure, I wouldn't go about it the same way but I just.. . get him. That's what makes it work so well. I totally sympathize with him, while also recognizing that he often takes it way too far, to his own downfall. But then that becomes schadenfreude too. Escobarbarian posted:Most of Curb is about how Larry is an rear end in a top hat but everyone around him is even worse True, but that varies. Sometimes he definitely is the rear end in a top hat in the episode. But like, Seinfeld (obviously) or Its Always Sunny are all about the lovable assholes, where you both identify with them but also look down on them, so you can both laugh WITH and AT them at the same time.

I like Sam Raimi and he proved that superhero films could be good and didn't have to automatically suck. However, I don't know if I want Sam Raimi style movies in the MCU. And I guess if you look at the original evil dead it was kind of a horror film for the most part? It was still kind of silly though.

Man, I loved Scrubs when it aired but I should not have tried rewatching it last year. It is extremely of-its-time and JD’s constant relationship troubles and insecurities wear real thin by the third season. Also Dr. Cox isn’t as funny now, he just comes off as a cruel rear end in a top hat.

It's a solid/fun spy show ever since they got rid of Brody and more importantly his annoying family. The president isn't a spy but she is a tyrant.
