Tuxedo Catfish posted:The preview for Sonnie's Edge really grabbed me -- I liked the aesthetic, the music -- but the writing is so loving bad I tapped out without even finishing the whole 17-minute episode. Just atrocious. wot a tweeeeest! Peter F. Hamilton is not a great writer.

Dr. S.O. Feelgood posted:Yeah, they have some really good deals like that sometimes but for most of them you’re ineligible if you already have an active subscription. I canceled mine for a while, but the new Spotify premium deal brought me back since I was already paying for Spotify anyway. I had no idea Spotify was doing this until I saw somebody post about it today. I use Spotify on my phone every day but I never would have known if I hadn't seen someone else talking about it.

Is Hulu still doing that thing where if you get the pack-in subscription you're not allowed to give them more money for the ad free one? I got mine with a Spotify subscription and I couldn't upgrade it to no-ads.

beanieson posted:Anybody start The Spy on Netflix yet? Sasha Baron Cohen playing a real life Mossad agent embedded in Syria, the trailer looks great and reviews seem pretty good. just to save you guys the trouble this is NOT a show about Sacha Baron Cohen actually going to Syria and pretending to be a Mossad agent

I’m having a hard time sticking with Season 2 of Jack Ryan because one of the two major plot lines appears to be that the one guy is too loving fat to be CIA

ONE YEAR LATER posted:It's strange to criticize the writing when there's like a half dozen spoken lines per episode. In any case the music, especially the main theme, is great. Writing includes the plot developments and events that happen, not just the dialogue.

Chas McGill posted:The Mandalorian is fun. The only bit I really didn't like so far was the introduction of all the other Mandalorians with different suits and gadgets. Getting the armour upgraded felt pretty video-gamey as well. Fett was cool because he was the last of his kind/a true lone wolf etc. Yeah that’s really the only part of the series I’ve disliked so far. The Mandalorian friends felt video game goofy.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW posted:Would it matter? It's obvious Canadian police give less than two shits about animal torture. American cops also become extremely cautious and passive in response to animal abuse yet justify anything up to and including homicide based on a whiff of marijuana or seeing dark skin. I presume Canadian police don’t have a policy to murder family dogs on sight, at least.

I generally think it’s crazy to suggest people skip seasons of anything that’s not an anthology show like American Horror Story but it’s an especially bad suggestion for The Expanse.

nate fisher posted:Finally watched End Game right before my Disney+ expired, and it is everything I hate about comic book movies. I know I’m dealing with the subjective here, but I just don’t see how anyone who is over 13, could say that was a great movie. As someone who grew up reading Marvel comics I was I could, but the Avengers movies are just big misses for me (the one before End Game was the best of the bunch). They’re all bad except Thor Ragnarok and Antman

Ignis posted:If you're enjoying it, stop watching it on Netflix like Right now and go watch it at Hidive or Funimation. The version you're getting has all episodes cut off in half (plus you get the option of a dub if you so prefer) By cut in half do you mean they don’t replay the episode with different voice actors? I think there are a few more differences but they were never anything I cared all that much about.

tweet my meat posted:Watched Blow Out on Pluto TV. It's an old Brian De Palma flick about an audio engineer for a lovely horror movie company who accidentally records a suspicious car accident that leaves a prominent politician dead while he's out recording sounds for a movie he's working on. There's a handful of things wrong with it, but as a whole that movie still holds up incredibly loving well. Approaching the Noir mystery story from the perspective of an audio engineer is such an inspired choice and I absolutely loved when the movie got into the nitty gritty of the audio editing and investigation process. It also has one hell of a loving ending. Pluto TV has some really cool programming and since they've stopped airing anti-healthcare propaganda ads nonstop it's been a lot more tolerable. I've caught a lot of campy old horror movies I otherwise would never have seen.

Jolo posted:Haven't watched Dredd in a while so I looked up where it was available to stream. It's available on a streaming service called Pluto.TV which has a bunch of movies on demand and also live tv channels which run with ads. Ads suck but maybe I'll get lucky like watching You're Next on TubiTv where they just put a single commercial before the movie. So I go to Plutotv and quickly realize that there's no search option at all. I page through a bunch of Action listings and then a bunch of SciFi listings but don't see it. I sign up for an account with a throwaway email thinking maybe they've locked things like the search feature behind providing an email address. Nope. No search at all. I go back to Justwatch.com and look it up there and click the link for plutotv there. I'm finally I'm able to pull up the movie which is listed as: Dredd (LAS): https://pluto.tv/on-demand/movies/dredd-(las)-1-1 There’s dialogue in that movie?
