Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Bumping this because this is some Grade A horse poo poo.

quote:

Friends, one of the most popular shows of all time, is leaving Netflix in January 2020, but don’t blame Netflix for this happening.
Friends is officially leaving Netflix on Jan. 1, 2020. You only have a few weeks left to watch one of the most popular shows on the streaming service.

We’ve known this exit would happen for a while now, but as it happens with such things, many fans are just learning about Friends leaving Netflix. Accordingly, many fans are voicing their displeasure at Netflix about the departure. Unfortunately, that anger and disappointment is misdirected.

Netflix did everything they could, basically, to keep the series on the streaming service for the longterm. Way back in 2015, Friends was added to Netflix, and the streaming network, at the time, had the rights to the series for four years. In 2019, Friends was scheduled to leave Netflix, and after fan uproar, Netflix was able to lock in the rights to the series for another year.

Netflix had been planning to make a deal for the rights to the series all along. Under the fan pressure, Netflix was able to make a deal with Warner Bros. TV for another year of Friends, but it was at a tremendous cost to the tune of $80-100 million for the year, according to Vox.

After that, it was clear that Friends would leave Netflix, and that’s because WarnerMedia, which owns Warner Bros. TV, is starting their own streaming service, HBO Max, and they want this series to help attract subscribers. WarnerMedia paid $425 million for the rights to the series and to stream the show on HB0 Max, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

HBO Max launches in the spring of 2020, and the series will be on the streaming service when it launches. HBO Max is even trying to get a reunion special for this series going! Of course, they were going to bring the series home.

As you can see, Netflix was simply cut out of the deal. If you blame Netflix for anything, it should be for showing all these studios and media conglomerates that it pays to keep control of their content. Netflix paved the way in the streaming industry, and now, there are copycats all over the place.

Obviously, it’s still a bummer that this series is leaving Netflix. It’s one of the most popular shows of all time. Very soon, you’ll have to buy all the episodes on DVD or subscribe to HBO Max.

It will be really interesting to see what happens next. Obviously, this series is something people watch on Netflix, but it’s unclear if people watch Friends on Netflix because it’s on Netflix and everyone has a Netflix subscription or if people subscribe to Netflix because the streaming service has this great series. The answer to that question will likely be answered after the series leaves Netflix.

The hit comedy leaves Netflix on Jan. 1. Spread the word and make sure your fellow Friends fans watch the series before it leaves!

What in the seven hells is HBO max and why the gently caress would I give a poo poo about it?

I'm obv not gonna buy some DVDs of this dumb show but it was nice to just throw it on in background while I was doing other poo poo.

Also Fraiser is leaving Jan 1.

Trying to convince people to sign up for 100 different streaming services for $10/mo each surely won't lead to those people going back to just pirating everything.

HBO Max is $15.

Also some of the articles aren't even sure what actual HBO content will be on there.

Progress!

EDIT: I spoke with my S/O who is in the UK and its getting dropped from their Netflix as well but with no other way to watch it because HBO Max isn't a thing there.

Just reboot the series with an all new cast but literally every single line of dialog unchanged and film each episode 6 times with each actor playing each character once

I decided to just keep HBO Now and pirate the rest. I went through my subscription costs and I may as well have had cable this entire time. I guess I also have Amazon Prime, but I mostly have that for free shipping and the ability to get things in like two hours.

I’ve got Netflix and Amazon Prime and that’s more video content than I’ll ever consume in my life

For great HBO series I just borrow them from a friend online, or subscribe for a month if I really like the show (last one was GoT...)

I didn't like how the Friends never really let anyone else into their clique. They'd let people orbit in their periphery but ultimately they were just second class friends who were never considered part of their group.

It's strange... when expensive DVDs were the only option, bittorrent really took off. Then Netflix showed up and it was much easier than pirating, so everyone started paying for that instead. Now, everyone wants their own streaming service and it's become harder than pirating again... What a useless, stupid industry.

the one good show from each new streaming service will all get dumped onto some discount platform in a couple years most likely if we just wait

Yes but now pirating is even better since people can just rip content directly from streaming services and reupload elsewhere

You made me think: did any of them have *any* friends outside the 5 of them?

I can think of Fun Bobby and bald Bonnie and maybe a couple more, but it must say something that they seem to only have each other as any kind of friend.

Rachel has a coterie of screeching stereotypes show up as friends a couple times.

Gunther was a good enough friend to regularly invite to parties.

I recall for the episode where Rachel and Phoebe have to put together a bridal shower for Monica, they stole her address book and invite a bunch of nobodies that we’d never seen before because they were apparently such losers that they were the only ones available on short notice.

I know too much about this show :eng99:
