My google-fu might be off, but it looks like ABC doesn't have it's own streaming service yet (I have to be just missing it)? I know with Paramount and Peacock app you streaming your local broadcast on them. It might be best to reach out to a family member who still has cable and borrow their sign on to get ABC. Does Disney+ carry ABC shows? I don’t have D+, but that seems like the obvious place for ABC to put its shows.

feedmyleg posted:What about Locast? I get CBS, NBC, Fox, ABC, PBS, etc. all for free based on my location. Locast is what prompted the discussion. I tried it this morning, and they would only allow me to watch it in 15 minute increments without paying $5 a month.

That's weird, I get all the local channels with Sling which is why I use it for football season. Then I have my separate paramount app if the games are on CBS and then the NBC app for Sunday night. It is a massive massive pain and yeah I have no idea why local channels don't just stream for free. For whatever reason I had a digital antenna that worked great and then one season just stopped picking up any channels. I even bought a brand new one but couldn't get anything.

Oh whoops, missed that part of the discussion somehow. The 15 minutes thing wasn't the case when I last used it, but that was ages ago. I just use an over-the-air digital antenna for those incredibly rare times that I actually want to watch network TV. But even then, mostly I'll end up on MeTV or Laff or Grit or some other bizarro local channel showing Bonanza or whatnot.

I used Locast to watch all my local NFL games last season, but yeah I did pay the $5 monthly which stops the donation prompts. About 25 bucks for an NFL season was worth it for me. I tried the OTA stuff before and it was pretty poo poo using one of those adhesive window ones. They obviously work a lot better if you get a real antenna and put it on your roof but I'm sure as hell not doing that. I use Hulu TV now which is quite costly but the family uses it.

It definitely depends on exact placement of the antenna and your apartment/house. I've had my antenna at 3 different apartments in Brooklyn over the past 8 years with wildly different results. Sometimes just moving it a few feet can make a big difference, so I just got an extra-long coax cable so I can extend it to the ideal spot every time.

I use Locast more than any streaming service. It’s worth 5 a month. I don’t even live in one of their covered areas but it’s pretty easy to get around that with a Chrome extension. The downside is I can’t use the Apple TV/iOS app so I have to airplay from my Mac to Apple TV.

The White Lotus continues to be really good. I think this was the best episode yet. Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett are my faves so far, but Molly Shannon's performance was  She perfectly embodies the horrible rich mother-in-law, it's amazing and awful to watch.

Regarding last night's ending: Apparently, the script was they would walk in on Bartlett and Gage's characters loving. When they got on set, they were like, we should do something a little more unexpected, so they suggested they walk in on Bartlett eating Gage's rear end. Mike White liked the idea, and they worked it out with the intimacy coordinator. In an interview on avclub today, Gage said that he felt completely comfortable filming the scene.

I don't know if I fully understand the level of praise quite yet, but it's very good regardless and I am still early on so maybe I'll understand why people think it's a goat soon enough. It's a pretty hard show to categorize. It's sort of like...If Wes Anderson was less self indulgent, not twee and very violent? I dunno lol. I wasn't really sure if I like it after just a couple episodes. After a few I was fully on board. By the end of both seasons, I can say that it's one of my favorite shows ever. And Perpetual Grace 100% deserves a watch afterwards.

Mark Ronson has a docuseries on Apple TV called Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson. I've watched the first 4 episodes, and it's fantastic. Each episode focuses on a specific trend in music, and the history and artists behind them. So far they've covered autotune, sampling, reverb, and synths.

There's another movie kinda in the same vein: Capricorn One Sam Waterston, Elliot Gould, OJ Simpson!, James Brolin. Plot: US Government fakes a Mars landing/mission, and then to cover it up the government has to take out the astronauts involved. It's on HBO Max.

Oh yeah, I havent seen that one. Marathon Man is on demand on Cinemax right now. Executive Action (1973) with Burt Lancaster is on daily motion, but it was too boring for me. Its a movie with dramatized scenes of a conspiracy against Kennedy. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3uhs0j the trailer is pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycRe9oNWK1E

I have a problem with the Danny McBride shows like Vice Principals, in that the characters are unlikable and just continue to be irredeemable shitwads in a sad way. I was kinda worried The White Lotus would be like that (I know he has nothing to do with it) but they're doing a good job adding levels to the characters that make them entertaining instead of just awful.

Ken Marino is hilarious. Really....the entire cast is very good. I'm now a fan of Jason Momoa. Even two 150 minute movies isn't enough to capture the entire novel. Dune would have worked so much better as a television show.

Inspector Hound posted:Wasn't there a sci fi miniseries? Yes. Sci-fi did a three part series, running about five hours back in 2000. Far better than the Lynch movie (imo). But it had a pretty strict budget as you might imagine. They followed it up with a Children of Dune miniseries in 2003, in which the first part was dedicated to Dune Messiah. An early role for James McAvoy. And they clearly had a larger budget for that one. But still limited. RestingB1tchFace fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Aug 6, 2021 |

I appreciate when a show does not care at all about trying to make the characters likable or sympathetic in any way. The characters on The White Lotus aren't portrayed as complete psychos, but it does have a few that have zero positive qualities, like Shane and his mom, and they're absolutely nauseating but also extremely entertaining. Shane and Kitty doing their "money money money" chant was equal parts terrifying and hilarious. The White Lotus characters are much more realistically awful than anyone on a Danny McBride show, which makes it a lot more rage-inducing to watch.
