If that makes you cringe, you won't like the scene where he is dragged by a rope on his neck in the 3rd movie.

An antenna has served me well. I have a Tablo that puts the broadcast on my network where I can watch off connected devices. It has a DVR, and there are programs that allow you to take the shows off the DVR and move them to wherever you'd like. I also use commercial removing software before putting the show on a Plex server.

Everything I paid for up front. The only monthly subscription available is the guide data to the Tablo. I bought the lifetime option when I got the device. It's more than paid for itself already.

The only issue is that there are fewer and fewer quality suites in standard broadcast TV. I've got a great catalogue of NFL games though.

So it’s HBO has been trying to diversify and it failed evidently. Now they want HBO to focus on what they do best and leave the other demo for Max. Make sense when you think about it, if you don’t fall to the trap HBO=HBO max that WB trying to get rid off.

Yeah, what a bummer. Both are my favorite, but it’s weird looking at them now.

You don’t have a properly setup seedbox / download machine but I have a one click interface for all the services mentioned.

I pirate because the actual native streaming version is somehow almost always worse than the pirate encode. And it’s not because I have slow internet. Their service is just fucked.

It takes me about 10 seconds to pirate an episode

Weird how y’all attack one but not the other...

as long as there is no advertisements, i will stream, but the moment there will be advertisements in series or movies i will go to high seas. i absolutely hate advertisements. that is what ruined movie watching and series on cable tv. i disliked it when i was young and dislike it when i am older.

even for sports you already pay these expensive prices to watch sports and still we get fucking advertisements!

There's going to be a character called Her-ass-in-dull-a ?

lol

rookie numbers

Great writeup!

While still a PR piece there was a recent interview with Landgraf that I thought had some interesting responses in it. Much more so than this one of Bloys.

Wasn't that before they left their SO's and presumably when their relationship started?

> Then you had the female skewing shows like And Just Like That, Gossip Girl, Julia, Pretty Little Liars, Sex Lives of College Girls, Made For Love, The Flight Attendant,

Why did they cancel Minx then?

Honestly the best late night show I’d actually watch is Graham Norton but they really need to figure out their streaming strategy. They give it to a cable channel on a two week delay in the US.

The best concept I think for a late night show is actually WWHL with Andy Cohen. He schedules Bravo honestly like a genius, with one big tentpole franchise sort of evenly spread throughout the week, and then immediately follows the episode of like RHOBH with two of the main cast members from that episode to discuss what happened.

Listen we just let it stream in the background so miss Sarah Michelle Gellar can get her streaming numbers.

If you consider this a spoiler then you should just avoid clicking anything that has “The Last of Us” in the title

Are you kidding, those raised during the 80s are why anti piracy in the gaming industry became a thing.

Go out buy a game and a pack of blank cassettes, a few hrs with a duel tape deck and your mates all had a copy. Just had to remember to turn the volume way down or deafen yourself with binary screeching.

Then came code cyphers / word look up in manuals etc. Tho those were quickly beaten as usually there was only a limited selection of challenges which wasn’t difficult to determine with patients and a pen.

Yup, definitely a push.

Yeah, then it’s pulled while you’re mid season. Or worse they have season 1-3 but season 4-5 is exclusive to another service.

Pirating is way more convenient though. I can download a higher quality release faster than searching through a handfull of streaming sites.

My brother in law did this in school using my pc. He made cash, I got a growing music library from direct rips.

People now in their 40/50s are the ones who started the whole pirate scene with BBS's, they're the ones who are more likely to still pirate compared to the 15 - 30 age group.

Before the refund policy I would pirate to demo if I was unsure.
