He definitely will! It wouldn’t be the same without him! His Pennywise is my favorite character!

I hope this show digs deep into the racist history of Derry that Mike narrates throughout the novel. Cutting Mike's narration is one of the biggest flaws both adaptations make as it really impacts the tone and theme.

I would never dismiss an entire show because of a bad season (or even a bad series finale). If you loved the show, then love the show, but I can't see suddenly hating everything because of a season that wasn't good.

It's definitely heightened, but if you've seen The Brothers Bloom, it feels of a piece with that version of the world.

The ad sales decreasing makes sense considering they absolutely gutted stuff like TNT and TBS. Harder to sell ads on reruns of things. It's been weird to see them advertise stuff like Silicon Valley on TBS so hard like it is a new show and won't just be a watered down rerun of what people that want to have already seen.

The trouble with Castle Rock is that they ran it quickly into the ground.

I never have been a fan of her, but I liked her in The Peripheral a lot.

The EPS is much lower than expected. WBD will have a hard time convincing the market, with this very slow growth in subscriptions. If Q1 2023 doesn't turn out really well, I bet Wall Street folds.

Yes! I'm also very much looking forward to S2 after that great season ending. They were just shooting a bunch of scenes in my town but nothing that would provide any hints at S2. :D

Personally I generally prefer to pay to keep it simple.... but if they make paying too difficult which is quite common.... then I will take it for free no problem.

billion? geesh. i thought their whole plan was to be profitable.

Good punish them for their bullshit!

I'll say a few episodes have strained my suspension of disbelief (I don't think anyone in a nursing home is going to campus a drainpipe) but overall look forward to it every week. Will watch anything with Natasha in if.

Best episode!

I think all of the seven episodes (I guess 8 just came out? or is about to?) have been a lot of fun. It's cool that a show that silos most plotlines into just one episode can succeed.

No need to compare, they are both excellent at what they do. The common thread for both is the people who create and also fund these shows respected the source material enough to do it justice. Arcane has more leeway but they didn't shit out something compared to the recent Resident Evil show that did their own thing, but it became a teen drama which is a different genre compared to the games.

Genuinely dont understand how Dana can act so happy every post ppv, talking about how much money they made via buys and the gate, then keep raising the price.

Actually I do, them hookers and coke dealers dont pay themselves.

Well Netflix actually makes money unlike the others. Also they're already the most expensive (or almost, I guess HBO Max might be more expensive) and with the password sharing thing, they probably think it'll go better with the price decrease. It's also limited to a small percentage of their base. 100-countries sound like a lot but it's only 10M people (which is 4% of their total base).

Plus they want to limit the impact of inflation and exchange rates in many of those countries I guess (it's kind of nice in general it goes the other way around)

IMO they should more revamp their tier systems but I guess it's still a good thing

Damn Muschietti got carried by the cinematographer and great material in It Chapter 1. Everything else he has done is mediocre or worse. Wish they would let him go but oh well.

The special effects/cgi in Legion is really good throughout the series.

The idea is to extract as much as possible. Sometimes that is lowering the price to increase market share or users. 100 people paying $10. They drop it to $9 but now have 120+ people you make more.

Yeah, if MLB buys the rights and removes blackouts, they are going to jack the price up of MLB.tv a lot.

The problem with “reviving” True Blood is that everything after the initial story arcs, both in the source material and the show, gets really fucking dumb.

If Bill Skarsgard is in, so am I.
