I sort of agree with you, but in this case, this is such a Wes Anderson kind of novel it’s crazy. Always hoped for that adaption but I’ll take whatever they make too because I really enjoyed this.

The term pirating is so degrading. Let’s use the term borrowing.

Anyone who try to convince you to pay for shit is amoral?

Just found part 2 of the nevers online, didn’t see it on HBOMax, not even a trailer

Same, but more so because I live in an area with fucky internet, it’s good to have back ups

🙋‍♂️

Actually you can see a study below I posted, while I was making jest, in this recent study, only 2% of 65+ year olds pirated. Thats super low as you can see from the other age groups

adults. that's the demo.

yes the Reddit crowd is probably 90%, but many folks raised during the 80's or before were raised not to do this kind of thing.

a 65 yo was 40 when Napster launched, they understand the question.

the irony of using "ammoral"

Oh the title the search for more money.

Not even just a guest appearance, but a recurring role in half of season one, as well as one episode of season two. And playing a great character too.

Lol. A fancy way of saying “when the heart calls”.

what does it mean?!

Yarrr we be after that electronic booty

Yeah, let's all move a boat for sure. But maybe we move a boat relative to the weight of our group.

I’m too out of the downloading loop to know how to pirate any of those things, it sucks being in the 90 percent.

Only?

I agree with most of what you said except that only getting movie spin-offs for genre shows is better than nothing, I would rather have nothing.

Thats ultimately the point of the show, though. To test for weaknesses in your physique. The most well rounded athletes are able to at least not be last place in any given event, which is how you advance. Ice climber dude needed to work on his brute strength, but even still, it ended up coming down to half a second. I dont see it as a problem.

From what I’ve read, it’s just a more poetic way of saying “when the heart calls.”

The show is called When Calls the Heart.

I'm enjoying it. It's kinda predcictable but I am watching it for Milo. Also!! So funny that actress who (spoiler) stole the crypto is a bad guy here (Should have guessed Rose-JTV-would habe been. I wished they made her do a pun!), wonder if she'll return. I hope the show isn't cancelled.

They have scope to push back shows and space them out a bit more to lower the overall volume output. It just means they will not need to order so many new shows for a spell as shows planed for the last half of 2023 can be pushed to the front half of 2024. They can easily sit on limited series and they have already cleaned out the ongoing roster by axing a whole bunch of shows. Then you have the fact that the real big budget shows like House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, and even Perry Mason are already on 2 year gaps between new seasons. Even the regular dramas (think Succession, The Gilded Age, Euphoria) are on 18 month timelines. All that will help them reduce that combined 46 show volume they had in 2022.

I think we will get more big budget HBO shows even under this regime. I just do not expect any more big expensive dramas until they start to wrap a few of the ongoing series. We will definitely not be getting any new fantasy of sci-fi shows until House of the Dragon and The Last of Us wrap. Not at HBO. On the other hand it does seem like the Max originals are going to be all in on DCU shows and movie spinoffs TV shows from It, Dune, and The Batman. So less prestige and original genre fare but we will still get genre shows of this type from Max. Which is better than nothing even if it means no more original stuff like Raised by Wolves.

I think this new regime will be quicker to cancel the shows that do not find a good audience and less interested in ordering such shows in the first place. Which means less niche shows like Los Espookys, Gentlemen Jack, Betty, etc being ordered in general and most being cancelled after a single season if they do not garner big viewership ratings.

Learning and developing life skills through entertainment is evident in many species.

After years of the media portraying women as victims it's not surprising that people are attracted to these types of shows. It could be a way to develop empathy or strategies for self defence.

I personally enjoy biopics that present the true story as though it was a fictional crime drama. This removes the real world bias and allows you to consider events or motivations that lead to the person acting in the way they did.
