- Dirty Harry -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:15

  - I kind of hate that title/direction. I thought the whole point was that things were moving beyond the 'royal family'. -- nm - Volnelk, First of his name Apr 12, 10:21 4
    - Huh? It's the Skywalker saga, to think that the final film would deviate from that seems odd. Also - was that Palpatine? Or Hamill's Joker? -- nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 10:22 3
      - I had the same question, but the Star Wars fan in my office said Snoke -- nm - Roger Mord Apr 12, 10:28 1
        
        Oh, apparently Ian McDiarmid was a surprise appearance so Palpatine -- nm - Roger Mord Apr 12, 10:29

- yeah, quite good but ...what a drag (grim stuff, slow pace) -- nm - mud mud Apr 12, 09:47 3
  - It's a gut punch of a show, that's for certain. -- nm - LMS UCO in OCG Apr 12, 09:56 2
    - Like Broadchurch S01 gut punch worthy? -- nm - Shaun Apr 12, 10:00 1

- They should have booked some rooms at Trump Hotels. -- nm - Spawn Snow Apr 12, 09:23
Interesting. You haven't seen a leaked GOT script because they basically use script snapchat. - Volnelk, First of his name Apr 12, 09:06 4
- Interesting, but seems like it could create problems if that's all there is. I assume they have to give the basics of the story to the actors. - pmb Apr 12, 09:13 3
  - The context can be provided verbally by the director on the set or at a read-through though. -- nm - Roger Mord Apr 12, 09:16
  - ::something happens, causing you to react negatively:: -- nm - script Apr 12, 09:14 1

Apparently a standup comic died onstage yesterday, and the audience thought it was part of the act. Ian Cognito. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 08:50
In shocking news, Disney's shares were up 13% this morning. -- (link*) - Shaun Apr 12, 08:40 8
- DisneyPlus content and price really hit the sweet spot -- nm - budice Apr 12, 08:43
- JPMorgan priced it at $137, and that triggered the lemmings. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:41 6
  - perfectly offset by my loss in NFLX today - Reagen Apr 12, 09:42 5
    - with that mindset, you'll never get a car with doors that open like *this* -- nm - Walder Freyformojo Apr 12, 09:43 4
      - (Shopify is the one I like to not think about) -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 09:51

        it's funny that given his limited screentime, Russ Hanneman's responsible for my two go-to catchphrases from Silicon Valley - Walder Freyformojo Apr 12, 09:48 1
        
        Don't forget Three Commas! -- nm - David Apr 12, 10:05
Is there crack in that new BTS song? I can't get the chorus out of my head. KPOP is the devil - Lady Pippy of the Stormlands Apr 12, 08:35
Am I the only person that watches Netflix for standup comedy? They have TONS of comedy content. -- nm - Volnelk, First of his name Apr 12, 08:30 9
- No, but I am picky. My favorite is Bill Burr -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 09:25
- Stand up on tv always disappoints me. Just like the BIG movies, I need to go see it to fully enjoy it. -- nm - Spawn Snow Apr 12, 09:02 1
  - It's ridiculous how much easier it is to laugh/smile when you're in the live setting rather than at home -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 09:29
- I've watch John Mulaney's stuff. I love him. -- nm - Mop Apr 12, 08:59
- I watch a lot of standup too. Honestly very few of their shows grab me. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 12, 08:55
- Lots of kids shows. A bit of a necessity here. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 08:52
- Yep-Love the Ali Wong one and the Hasan Manaj (Homecoming King) -- nm - Flavorize Apr 12, 08:51
- fwiw, haven't paid for Netflix in 5+ years. Use Free Months to catchup. My streams: Amazon, VUDU/MA/GooglePlay, Cable (Spectrum App) -- nm - budice Apr 12, 08:37
- We watch all kinds of stuff on Netflix. Not as much standup - but my kids watch that. -- nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 08:30
This was the best response to that tweet about Jay Cutler. -- (link) - Tim Apr 12, 08:29 1
- It's weird to make such a big deal out of "My husband likes to have his mouth on my boobs." -- nm - Shaun Apr 12, 08:34
From day one, Disney+ will have better content than Netflix, all of which is vertically integrated. And there is a reason why... -- (edited) - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:26 32
- Here's the thing for me though(which I've said before): It's too much spread to too many places. Disney's going to have new Marvel TV series? Great - pmb Apr 12, 09:35 4
  - we're in the proliferation stage right now where everyone's trying to fight out their ground. Consolidation comes later - Reagen Apr 12, 09:44 3
    - In the end, it's going to be Comcast, Disney, and *maybe* one or two others as the primaries. - David Apr 12, 10:01 2
      - I picture a BOP or ST channel to have programming along the lines of the channels that the characters in the Ready Player One novel had -- nm - JD Apr 12, 10:04 1
        
        Exactly! -- nm - David Apr 12, 10:05
- meh. Realistically, I own most of the Disney/Marvel content I want to watch. I never watched it on Netflix for the most part. Also unless it comes - oblique Apr 12, 09:26 2
  - When Disney has the buzz of having a must-watch series, you'll watch it. - David Apr 12, 09:58 1
    - CBS hasn't hooked me yet despite some of their shows being interesting to me. There's more than enough TV for me to watch already. I'm good -- nm - oblique Apr 12, 10:13
- If Netflix becomes niche, my watching habits indicates I'll happily go with them. I spend most of time watching their 'originals' - JD Apr 12, 08:40 8
  - It’s actually pretty rare for us to make it past the pilot of Netflix shows. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:48 7
    - They take more shots and have more misses. But Ozark, Narcos, Haunting of Hill House, etc. are some of the best stuff I've watched recently. Amazon - oblique Apr 12, 09:29
    - I think I'm having better luck as the stuff I like is acquired (hence 'Originals') - JD Apr 12, 09:00 4
      - Black Mirror was an acquisition, and then became an original from the 3rd season on as Channel 4 couldn't match the Netflix money. -- nm - LMS UCO in OCG Apr 12, 09:30 1
        
        *nod* and Aggretsuko was a series of shorts before Netflix paid for a series. - JD Apr 12, 10:00
      - Kim loooves Aggretsuko. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 09:06
      - Oh yeah - The Originals was the show we found on Netflix that really got us binging older shows. nm -- nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 09:01
    - I usually let you fuckers try these things out first, before I waste time on it. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 08:56
- Yeah, I have been thinking about it and for the library alone, this is the first one I feel compelled to subscribe to. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 08:32
- so you are saying to short Netflix stock? -- nm - Lady Pippy of the Stormlands Apr 12, 08:27 13
  - Unrelated to Disney, I do wonder about Netflix as Blockbuster in 10 years. They’ve lost so much great content over the past five years. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:30 11
    - I just looked. We have about 680 titles in our queue. Only 173 are available now. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:37 9
      - I don't even have a queue. I just watch seasons of tv from my "continue watching" list. -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 08:46 7
        
        Yep. But, I admit, Carrie and I are in a different place then say, David and Kim. We don't watch a lot of TV. nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 08:49 6
        
        The average Netflix user watches 50 minutes of content daily. We are actually below that most months. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:59 5
        
        with the Marvel shows going bye bye, my Netflix use to probably drop 75%. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 09:00 4
        
        Since Umbrella Academy ended, we have only used it for Total Drama reruns. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 09:01 3
        
        I need to binge Santa Clarita soon. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 09:02 1
        
        I do too. I played the trailer for Carrie the other day - she's not interested, so I'll have to watch that one on my own. -- nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 09:03
        
        ewwww -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 09:01
      - Yikes - its worse than I thought. -- nm - Lady Pippy of the Stormlands Apr 12, 08:43
    - Time will tell. They are becoming less Netflix and more HBO - we already have that - give us a library! - Lady Pippy of the Stormlands Apr 12, 08:37
  - I would imagine the Disney+ expected impact would already be baked into their price, but wouldn't know for certain -- nm - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 08:28

  - You earned enough income in each of six different states that you had to file for each of them? I would have never guessed -- nm - JD Apr 12, 08:10 2
    - I have to charge time to the states where I travel. So this year was 6. East coast, west coast, south, and mid-west! -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 08:24 1
