I just signed up for the week trial of Peacock premium plus because there is a few things I want watch and it seems like a dumb move to remove visibility of what content is only available with premium after you sign up. Theres no visual indication of what extra you are actually getting for an extra 5 or 10 dollars a month lol.

I might do that only because I want to watch the other two seasons of Mr. Mercedes and they’re only available on peacock if you have a subscription.

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
I'm watching the new Tremors movie. These have never really been "good" movies but this is like a straight up ripoff of Jurassic Park 1/2

Great.

Just gonna toss my worthless Death of Stalin opinion on the pile, that disgust and a refusal to watch is a completely valid take. I was really revolted by a lot of it, and I wasn't sure I'd ever watch it again. But I just put it back on my list. It's a good movie and at least I know all those guys are dead and generally seen as monsters in a monstrous time, especially Stalin, especially Beria (gently caress him) and especially all of them.

Great movie.

The first Tremors is a good movie.

As for the new one, is it worth watching?

I just realized you can watch season 6 of Schitt’s Creek on Amazon Prime (via IMDB free with commercials which is part of Prime). I was waiting for it to show up on Netflix, but no longer.

Edit: confused by the fact I didn’t see a single commercial during the first episode. What is this IMDB section of Prime?

IMDb TV is Amazon's free-with-ads thing. It plays by different rules than Prime Video.

It's not just white trash. At the rich debutante ball he asks the old Asian guy "how much is my daughter worth" and the guy whispers "500" and the Asian guy's daughter just gives this look and says something like "you're loving disgusting" and it's the most amazing, honest thing

Yeah the whole premise is this is real people who got punk’d with not much effort

None of it would be remotely funny if it weren’t one-sided

I dunno it feels like there are way more people who are in on the joke and just playing along, especially when he’s just borat. And it’s still funny. Like the lady in the dress store or the lipstick guy. It paces out the actual pranks pretty well which I find a little hard to watch sometimes.

Well, of course I know him.

I personally thought Borat 2 was just kind of okay, but I think that may be because at this point I’m mostly unphased by this poo poo. It used to be shocking to see Americans admit to horrific beliefs and prejudices and now you’ve got people openly saying it everyday and everywhere. We’ve always sucked but things have really ramped up in the 14 years since Borat 1 came out.

The best sequence in the movie is the two Qanon idiots he quarantines and goes to the rally with. The one dude gets legit emotional when he’s pleading with Tutar to help Borat. It’s loving hilarious that he was able to ingratiate himself so thoroughly in just a few days.

I liked it pretty well up until episode 5! Not as much as Hill House, but still enjoyed it. Hated it from then on, never soured on a show that quickly before. Almost to the point of trying to find a website to write an angry review but I figured a shitpost here would be enough venting

I only got like...10 minutes in to the first episode and got distracted with something else. A friend of mine said is ok, but not scary.

Bly Manor has an extremely weird series arc where instead of building up the tension and mystery until a climax it starts off strong but then gets lost in a series of flashbacks to explain everything that is going on and totally kills any momentum. By the end it's basically downtown abbey + the world's least scary ghosts.
