so Amazon in the US: do you all have The Green Knight and Moonfall for free? or is that just up here? - Beaker Apr 21, 08:59 4
- It is different up there. I don’t see either for free on my phone -- nm - spamlet Apr 21, 09:03 1
  - JustWatch says Green Knight is on Fubo and Showtime -- nm - spamlet Apr 21, 09:04
- No to Moonfall. It's $20. The Green Knight is available if you sub to Showtime, otherwise it is $10 -- nm - TWuG Apr 21, 09:03
- have green knight. havent checked else -- nm - budice Apr 21, 09:02
here's the real poll:if you had to pay for all of your streaming services, which would you keep full time? me: hbomax, hulu with ads, MAYBE para plus. -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 08:53 14
- Paramount+ has had a current show I watch more often than the others, but they're all still too seasonal to make me feel fine paying 12/12 months. - Max Apr 21, 09:01
- HBO Max; Disney+; Paramount+ intermittently for binging Star Trek shows. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 21, 09:00
- I have Netflix, HBO, Disney and Apple (free)—the rest I rotate, getting one month and cancel subs (through Amazon)—Paramount, Cinemax, YouTube TV, and - Flavorize Apr 21, 09:00
- Netflix, HBO, Prime and Hulu. We pay for all of them right now. I share my log-in and I have a few apps like Disney and BritBox thanks to others sharing with me. -- nm* - Krusty Apr 21, 08:59
- Prime since I have prime anyway. D+ for the kids. HBO. - sycor Apr 21, 08:59
- pay for all except for Apple, which is toast when freeness is gone -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:58 2
  - I decided to keep it because I've been very satisfied with the shows I've watched on it. (Lasso, Severance, Slow Horses, Finch, Foundation) - Beryllium Apr 21, 09:02 1
    - we had it free for a few months so we powered through a bunch of stuff, but we didn't keep it. -- nm* - Andie Apr 21, 09:07
- D+ hbomax prime -- nm - budice Apr 21, 08:56
- I am paying for all the services I have -- nm - decline Apr 21, 08:55 4
  - yes. I want to drop NF and Hulu, but Amy watches them. -- nm - Spawn Apr 21, 09:03
  - Same. And I'm considering adding crave and/or paramount+ when Strange New Worlds arrives. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 08:57 1
    - I had Paramount+ on a 1-year deal and recently cancelled it. I will probably pick it back up in the fall for a few months to catch up on - decline Apr 21, 08:59
  - look at you! -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 08:56
Lol. Top Republicans wanted Trump held accountable for Jan 6th. -- (link*) - znufrii Apr 21, 08:53 1
- I hate these people so much. -- nm - Diva Apr 21, 09:00
Actual question I asked my boss this morning... - Mop Apr 21, 08:51 1
- Mop, it's good to hear you have a functional unit -- nm - decline Apr 21, 08:53
*snort* Warner Bros. Discovery is shutting down CNN+ and is expected to provide details to staffers Thursday. -- (link) - decline Apr 21, 08:42 22
- IIRC CNN channel access wasnt included -- nm - budice Apr 21, 09:10
- They had some tempting story headlines, but I was still never moved to want to pay. PBSNewsHour is free and the best news with least ego. -- nm - Max Apr 21, 09:07
- someone here (I think) summed it up perfectly. Having a streaming news service that doesn't stream the news isn't going to succeed -- nm - decline Apr 21, 08:52
- I wonder where Audie Cornish lands -- nm - ty97 Apr 21, 08:49
- Holy shit, LOL! -- nm - Mop Apr 21, 08:49
- Faster than a Quibi -- nm - budice Apr 21, 08:45
- Chris Wallace is going to murder someone -- nm - ML Apr 21, 08:45 11
  - I'd be surprised if he doesn't get a CNN- show. -- nm* - ty97 Apr 21, 08:48
  - His show was the only good one which is nuts. Though he failed to press Cameron on Avatar 2 details like... at all. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:46 3
    - I have a hard time grasping what a colossal misfire this was. I mean, people don't even want to watch CNN for free. -- nm - ML Apr 21, 08:48 2
      - so I was actually the target user for the good version of the service. election night coverage, disaster coverage, etc. but it seems that - amanda Apr 21, 08:54
      - I subbed because of the low price and wanted less talking heads, more harder news. It has that -- mostly. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:54
  - Rex back to posting Internet Memes -- nm - budice Apr 21, 08:45 5
    - *stealing other people's content -- nm - ML Apr 21, 08:46 3
      - is retweeting stealing though? I'd never see half the stuff on Twitter I do if not for him as I hate following 100's of accounts - Beaker Apr 21, 08:48 2
        
        It's not, but that's not what he does. He's a serial content thief and misinformationist. - ML Apr 21, 08:49 1
        
        I think beaker is right, that the original poster still gets the "views" (most of the time), due to a quirk in video embedding in Twitter -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 08:55
    - spoils - he never stopped! -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:46
- I cancelled yesterday. How does this fall on the Scaramucci Scale? -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:43 3
  - 22 days! -- nm - decline Apr 21, 08:50 1
    - I believe that's two Scaramuccis then. Very respectible. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:53
  - 3 out of 4 Qwiksters. -- nm - Baruno Apr 21, 08:48
Across the Spider-Verse drops 8 months. Release date now June 2, 2023 -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:41
Imagine actively provoking Mike Tyson... -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 08:27 9
- "Welcome to Mike Tyson's Punch-Out" -- nm - budice Apr 21, 08:35
- I mean, it appears that things like "being present" and "being female" provoke Mike Tyson. -- nm - ty97 Apr 21, 08:33 7
  - Not Mike Tyson of the last decade plus. Tyson's not the same man he was many years ago. I feel like that guy had to really bother him for him to react - Krusty Apr 21, 08:45 6
    - Here. -- (link) - Shaun Apr 21, 08:47 2
      - that video seems highly edited and leaves out a great deal seems like... -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:51 1
        
        like the sky marshal a few rows up thinking "I only have the one gun, I'm going to mind my own business here." -- nm - Max Apr 21, 11:41
    - Counterpoint: He just beat up a person on a plane. -- nm - ty97 Apr 21, 08:45 2
      - And I stand by what I said in that the guy provoked this response. I don't agree with hitting anyone that isn't trying to hurt me but I also - Krusty Apr 21, 08:57
      - I'd be willing to consider it self-defense, at least until more is known ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 08:54
ST Poll: Rank the Streaming Services you currently have -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:21 50
- BBC iPlayer and Redux (secret staff one), that's it. -- nm - LMS Apr 21, 08:58
- Tier 1: Netflix, Hulu, HBO. Tier 2: BritBox & Prime. Tier I have it but almost never watch it: Disney, Apple & Peacock -- nm - Krusty Apr 21, 08:47
- Netflix, D+, CBS, Disney+, Amazon. Apple+ via phone deal. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 21, 08:43
- Whoever listed CNN+, not so fast -- (link) - spamlet Apr 21, 08:42 1
  - well, that was fast. -- nm - Andie Apr 21, 08:44
- MUBI, D+/Star+, HBO Max (just because of Tokyo Vice, so it will drop out soon), Netflix, PrimeVideo, Paramount+ (which comes with cable but I can't - Marlowe Apr 21, 08:39 1
  - Star seems good if you can get it -- nm - budice Apr 21, 08:39
- Peacock, D+, Hulu. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:39
- Tier 1: D+, HBO Max Tier 2: Prime Tier 4: Peacock, Paramount+ (cuz they free now). MLB.TV aint bad on the TMobile free promo -- nm* - budice Apr 21, 08:34
- Prime. D+. AppleTV+. Netflix. (I think. NF does have shows I actively watch, but so do all those others.) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 08:31
- Netflix and Disney+, need to just go ahead and cancel Apple+ until Ted Lasso comes back, and we hardly ever watch anything on Prime video. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 21, 08:31
- Rank for most watched: 1) Netflix, 2) Hulu, 3) HBO Max, 4) Prime, 5) Disney+, 6) AppleTV+, 7) Paramount+, 8) Peacock (free) - Inigo Apr 21, 08:30
- in order of watch frequency, it's hulu --> hbo max --> peacock ----------> NF --> para plus --> disco ---------> prime ---------> dplus - amanda Apr 21, 08:29 8
  - oh I guess I ahve apple tv to. I literally have never logged in. -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 08:30 7
    - watch Severance -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 08:32 2
      - is afterparty there too? I guess maybe I'll log in. -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 08:36 1
        
        Afterparty is fun. -- nm - Andie Apr 21, 08:38
    - watch Ted Lasso. -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:31 3
      - I watched s1. s2 happened at a bad time and I never revisited. -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 08:34 2
        
        you've watched The Morning Show, right? Season 1 and 2? - Andie Apr 21, 08:34 1
        
        oh yes. I hate watched both over xmas break the years it came out. -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 08:35
- D+, Netflix, Crave (via in-laws account), APV (via Student Prime) -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 08:29 8
  - We pay for the top tier Netflix and it is $24.13/month. That's getting into craziness territory. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 08:35 7
    - Why the top tier? Is it the 4k, because that feels like that plus vidya game patches would decimate any internet data caps. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:40 6
      - Data caps? *laughs in unlimited Gigabit* We also share. -- nm* - Shaun Apr 21, 08:42 2
        
        That must come in real handy when a game decides you need to redownload the entire thing plus some. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:44 1
        
        It certainly is. It's also a big reason why I don't have additional storage for my consoles. Why bother, when I can delete and d/l at will. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 08:47
      - I have the top tier because I share. I really want to explore cancelling. -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 08:41 2
        
        I'd be open to cancelling, but I'm pretty sure we use it every single day, so as of now, it's still worth it, imo. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 08:44
        
        Ah sharing. I only share Peacock with Krusty and Spotify with my bestie. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:42
- Peacock and Tubi. -- nm - Meg Apr 21, 08:29
- I pay for Netflix and Disney+. Both are C+ right now. I use my brother's Amazon. Currently a B+. Our condo cable includes Crave, which is HBO - Andie Apr 21, 08:28 3
  - really netflix is the shining star of navigation. -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 08:31 1
    - because Crave is wrapped into our cable, and because Rogers sucks, we have to navigate using the base channel it's on, not an app -- (edited) - Andie Apr 21, 08:33
  - Re your IM, I don't use it ever, but I don't understand why Prime's interface is so bad. -- nm - MDH Apr 21, 08:29
- HBO Max, D+, *UTube TV*, P+, NF,, Prime, Hulu. -- nm* - Spawn Apr 21, 08:28
- We don't stream much. 1) HBO Max 2) Netflix 3) Prime (but it's for shipping so basically N/A). Might drop Netflix. -- nm - MDH Apr 21, 08:28 2
  - I use Netflix Disc/DVD more than anything. -- nm - MDH Apr 21, 08:28 1
    - If I ever get an XBOX Series X, I might look into this to see if they still carry rare movies. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:41
- I canceled all of mine around December/January. (I guess I have Prime video still since I have Amazon Prime?) -- nm - ty97 Apr 21, 08:26 1
  - you would! Comes with a free Twitch stream too (which is nice for Critical Role :) ) -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:27
- NF, Prime, HBOMax, Hulu, Disney, Peacock - decline Apr 21, 08:26
- Based on usage? Hulu, paramount, disney+, peacock -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 08:25
- Inside: - Dark Callisto Apr 21, 08:25 1
  - YTTV probably is the real #1, but it's not really apples to apples. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 21, 08:28
- Plex is the big winner, then 1)HBO 2)Hulu 3)Netflix 4)Paramount 5)Amazon -- nm - colin Apr 21, 08:25 1
  - Apple is... way far into the distance, barely a spec. Amazon should be right there if it wasn't for The Boys. -- nm - colin Apr 21, 08:27
- 1)HBO Max 2)Netflix 3)Hulu 4)Peacock 5)Prime -- nm - rollo Apr 21, 08:24
- D+ (Marvel/Star Wars/+), Amazon (free shipping is the main driver, but content picking up), NF, Apple (got for free, won't reup) - Beaker Apr 21, 08:23 1
  - For Americans: Crave is essentially HBO Max + Paramount. Disney+ gets the HULU stuff up here -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:26
This is diabolical. But would be satisfying. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 21, 08:20 1
- i've been told period-space-space is wrong and i'm to stop doing it. - colin Apr 21, 08:25
The Jets need to get Deebo Samuel. I don't blame them for missing out on guys like Hill but we need a #1 WR and this might be our best and last - Krusty Apr 21, 08:19 3
- I'd love to see him in ATL with Arthur smith - Strongbad Apr 21, 08:24 2
  - I haven't read about Atlanta being a landing spot or interested in trading for him. It seems like us, GB and the Saints are the most interested - Krusty Apr 21, 08:40 1
    - I don't know if they're in the running. I would just be excited to see him as a Falcon given what they did with CPat last year. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 09:41
Zillow! -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 21, 08:19 14
- I assume it was previously a TGIFridays restaurant? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 21, 08:37
- I love the design of the house, but absolutely hate the colors and all that junk would give me nightmares -- nm - decline Apr 21, 08:35
- It’s too much… everything. Why have one of something when you can have sixty? -- nm - mafic Apr 21, 08:30 4
  - It’s either memories of a life well lived, or someone has spent a lot of time hunting through thrift stores and rummage sales. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 08:36 3
    - That much of anything speaks more to obsessive acquisition than anything else. -- nm - mafic Apr 21, 08:40 2
      - Funkos are OK though right?...asking for a friend -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:43
      - oh, those people are **collectors.** -- nm - Andie Apr 21, 08:43
- i'd love to trip balls in that house.. -- nm - colin Apr 21, 08:26 3
  - pictures 13 and 26 would make you swear off drugs for life I think if you got stuck in there for any length of time -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:29 2
    - i'd lock the door to the doll room.... -- nm - colin Apr 21, 08:43 1
      - I'd keep moving them around so anyone else in the house would always be like "didn't that one used to be over there yesterday?...fuck this house" -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:44
- i bet those are some pretty cool interesting people to have to your dinner party. I don't hate it. It's too much for me but i don't hate it. -- nm - Andie Apr 21, 08:25
- "What's your favorite color?" "Yes." -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 08:24
- That’s probably an incredible house once you get everything off of the walls. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 21, 08:22
Heheh -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 21, 08:15 3
- That's terribl(y funny) -- nm - Max Apr 21, 09:08
- LOL -- nm - Mop Apr 21, 08:49
- heh -- nm - mud Apr 21, 08:22
This is where the weekly releases by Disney make it harder to drop than Netflix, for me anyway... - Beaker Apr 21, 08:12
In that clip, Putin looks like a man trying desperately not to poop. -- nm - Baruno Apr 21, 08:11 2
- Real talk, he could be trying to hide tremors. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 08:18 1
  - That's what it looks like from the one frame I saw. Definitely some graboids in the area. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 08:19
Atlanta Film Festival: Judging a film project by its cover, which of these is your most and least favorite? -- (link*) - Qale Apr 21, 08:10 3
- there a link i'm supposed to see? -- nm - colin Apr 21, 08:28 1
  - Oh dear. Sorry about that. Need more coffee? Also Soul of a Beast has the best trailer I've found so far. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:34
- Summering looks like a kid-flick I'd have touted back in the day. Sushi Noh is a clear cut nope.com.org/runaway -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:12
I think the sign maker fell down these stairs. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 21, 08:06 1
- This is what happens when you hire the creator of Magnetic Poetry. -- nm - Baruno Apr 21, 08:10
The Bad Take All-Stars are out in force regarding Netflix. -- nm - The Allfather Apr 21, 08:01 13
- It's unreal just how bad these takes have been. Nothing rooted in logic or truth whatsoever. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 08:46
- It’s just fun to pile on. My hot take: Netflix has multiple Will Smith movies currently available—he’s radioactive—so is their stock—coincidence?!!! - Flavorize Apr 21, 08:44
- My All Star hot take - Dano Apr 21, 08:15 1
  - Add to that... -- (edited) - budice Apr 21, 08:16
- One thing that I find interesting that I haven't seen talked about yet... -- (edited) - Inigo Apr 21, 08:13 4
  - would viewing numbers reflect non-paying accounts though? -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 08:15 3
    - Not sure what you mean, but let's take my account for example. - Inigo Apr 21, 08:20 2
      - "You are currently watching 257 hours of Netflix per day. Something's off." - Reagen Apr 21, 08:23
      - ok, I wasn't sure how they tracked. I assumed 1 account watching something would equal 1 watch rather than 5 watches from different spots would equal - Beaker Apr 21, 08:21
- You see, this perfectly demonstrates the truth of my particular cultural hobby horse. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 08:07 1
  - Make sure to post about your hobby horsing to Polywork -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 08:11
- with bells on! -- nm - mud Apr 21, 08:04
- Bill Ackman: "Imma genius, but boy did I get Netflix wrong." -- (link*) - budice Apr 21, 08:03
I'd never heard of this before. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 21, 07:56 2
- Yikes, Karen Black looks like Carrot Top when he was on steroids, and is scary in that clip. -- nm - Max Apr 21, 09:14
- :-D -- nm - mud Apr 21, 08:03
