DangerousJ Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I just saw "Free Guy" Pretty good. It feels like Truman Show meets Matrix kinda. The cameo and surprise "Arm stuff" in the final battle made me lol. I didn't know Taika would be in it much less as the main "villain".

J-ride Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Next month on the 19th the Cuphead Season 2 is going to drop. I don't know if anyone has seen it but it's basically done as a 1950s style cartoon show and is surprisingly good. I love that the characters even have old timey accents. My kids love it.

Wellman Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Damn, although probably expected, AT&T were spend heavy and obviously usually bet poorly. With the Discovery folks involved I suspect before long, maybe within 18 months, their Discovery Plus will merge with MAX and a heavy diet of reality tv with a few scripted Warner Media related shows from other channels and movies will be the only order of the day on that service. Haven't watched the majority of the stuff they made for MAX but it was mostly of good or great quality from those I heard have watched. Quote Link to comment

Darc_Requiem Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 4 hours ago, Gimpy said: Now this makes more sense to me. HBO Max seems to be the fastest growing of the streaming services. Honestly it's my favorite of all them due to the sheer amount of quality content. The layoffs don't surprise me, with them merging it with Discovery+ that's a given. Plus by all accounts Zaslav likes to keep his own people. So based on his actions thus far, any redundant position will be eliminated on the HBO Max side of the company.

MillionX Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) That's the smart play... the HBO brand itself is strong, so it makes sense to keep pushing HBO Max as the main thing. It surprised me in the beginning when people had doubts for some odd reason. Right from the start, they don't have the unfortunate problem that Disney has since they aren't forever associated in most people's minds with "family-friendly" content. I'm still not interested in ever getting Disney+, tbh. They already shitted all over the Star Wars franchise, and the Marvel universe is also going downhill fast, imo...as it's clear that the all-powerful Agendas will continue to take priority over everything. (*it would not surprise me at all if behind the scenes, they actually do have a strict "prime directive" of certain progressive things that MUST be adhered to on everything....e.g.-- "Male character must always be offset by more competent female characters...they are also better in every aspect, including strength, speed and fighting ability." and of course "Redhead = automatically cast this as a black person.", etc... Context and story/world logic have no bearing on this; it's just the rules." All we need is for some former writer/producer to spill the beans on that shit; it will be hilarious for it to be exposed.) Edited August 5, 2022 by MillionX Quote Link to comment

Actually a few weeks ago, Disney Plus added the Deadpool 1,2 and Logan (wolverine 3) movies to their service which are all related R. Also the old Netflix shows (Daredevil, Luke Cage et al) were recently added which had some fuckin/cussing/violence that was TV-MA. So that's one less black mark. https://www.christianpost.com/news/disney-plus-adds-r-rated-movies-to-streaming-platform.html MillionX and Wellman 2 Quote Link to comment

Wellman Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I am torn on whether I should just go for the Disney Bundle now or try one of those free month offers so I can watch Prey first and wait until the annual renewal. If I get Hulu, outside a few things I don't think I will watch much. And right now I mostly just want to watch Prey. Quote Link to comment

Streaming rights have become a mess now that every big movie company outside of Sony wants to have their own service within the last five years. At one point Disney had to take down Black Panther and HBO Max lost the Potter films for a few weeks. I think The Predator film Black did might have been just before or maybe after they took over Fox's stuff so who knows what it's status is. DangerousJ 1 Quote Link to comment

But it was a good fun violent romp which is what I feel all Predator movies should be. I also really liked Predator 2 as well. Danny Glover and Gary Busey were fantastic IMO.

Wellman Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 The whole AvP scenarios work best away from Hollywood. Games and even comics have the room and potential to let things go nuts as fans and some creators would want with that sort of concept but a movie budget and run time can't give the proper feel and menace without a handful of decisions that fuck it up.

Yeah that is the problem with serial tv folks who grow to like a character will make excuses of try to defend them as being not as bad they are. Hell I have done it from time to time, grew up watching soap operas in the summer with my mom when she was home and I still do try to catch episodes whenever I am off, a bunch of the most popular characters on those shows (General Hospital especially) straight up need to be in jail or under mental evaluations for their actions but they stick around cause the actors are hot/charismatic or just great actors who can make weak scripts decent.
