We called the theater and listened to a recording of what movies were playing and at what times.
We also called Time & Temperature
With more choices comes more dillution.AustinAg2K said:The Porkchop Express said:
Would it be so terrible for all the streaming services to just merge into one thing with a Google-esque search engine that you use to find what you want and watch it?
I'm sure that's naive on me on about 300 levels with anti-trust and monopoly stuff
It's probably just me being an old man, but a lot of times I feel like there's to much content out there. Some nights I spend 20 minutes just scrolling through stuff only to give up and not watch anything. It sounds stupid, but sometimes I wish I had less choices.
Still surprised there isn't some streaming curating service out there yet. Tracks what you watch, has an algorithm to predict and find new shows you'll like. When a new season or premier of a show you like, or suggested show, starts it will auto(or manual by choice) subscribe you to the service and remind you the episode has aired. Then when the season is complete auto cancel the service. Prime and Xfinity almost do this now, but no one has nailed it yet.CheeseSndwch said:
There's probably an app for this but I recently began putting together a spreadsheet to evaluate all of the streaming services I'm currently subscribed to, what I actually watch on them regularly, and the monthly/annual cost. My goal is to rotate between streaming service every quarter and avoid being subscribed to everything all at once.
Disney+ didn't make the most recent cut but I plan on resubscribing for Season 2 of Andor.
pretty sure Netflix and Prime both do this already.Quad Dog said:Still surprised there isn't some streaming curating service out there yet.

It's also not a true subscription to the other service. You won't have a login to it and everything runs through the Prime Video app. This could be a positive (less juggling of logins and payment info in one consolidated place) if it wasn't for Prime Video being probably the worst of all the major streaming services in terms of stream quality, user functionality and I've also run into issues where they have episodes misnamed, out of order, etc.Quad Dog said:
Netflix won't subscribe you to other services like Max or Apple+. Prime does some of those services, but it isn't as automated and curated as it could be.

Disney has ruined my childhood favorites…

Turning it into woke garbage. Duh. Are you trolling me? Flagged for trolling…

They acquired StarWars, comic books (Marvel), Indy, and then trashed those properties. There is probably more, but I don't won't to spend anymore time on obvious things you (the troll), already know…

You'll never see a true, universal recommendation because Netflix does not share their data with anyone. There are apps where you can go mark that you liked a show after watching it, but the app can't get the data directly from Netflix.
I never said they ruined my childhood, just my childhood favorites. Do you even understand what I'm saying?Legal Custodian said:aggiephoenix02 said:

I thought you were done. Just stop dude, you're ruining the thread.

Learned some new things on this thread. Do you know why Lucas was so locked in on Kennedy? That's a weird one for me.

As a historic target audience of the Mouse (2 kids under 10). The problem Disney with imo, is they've lost the trust of the core audience. I don't mean putting out bad movies. Those happen, but it's the content itself that is questionable or inappropriate for kids. And that's the biggest red flag.
For example, Spidey and his Amazing Friends. Very younger kid show. It has a person name Jerry who apparently has "They/Them" pronouns. Link
Is that acceptable for kids that young? No.
Do you think a younger kid has any clue or concept of this? No.
My kids no longer get to watch that show.
it means now we have to screen all the content which means watching less of their content because of the extra effort.
Same for Inside/Out 2. We liked the first one. The kids liked it. We are talking about this being our oldest first theatre movie this summer. But there's hesitation because we don't know what they are trying to sneak in. We can't consider taking them until we get a better idea of what is actually hidden in the film.
What Disney has to do, is something they certainly are unwilling or unable to do. Admit they've messed up and start to undo the damage they've done and earn people's trust back.
