Posted April 25 Oh, nice! And Liam Hemsworth looks just fine as Geralt. Actually, I had to actively remember that Cavill had left the role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you were saying there was some sort of Doctor Who regeneration thing going on... I've not watched the trailer yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As someone else who hasn't watched the trailer yet, I thought the exact same thing about some Doctor Who-style regeneration hijinks being afoot Edited April 26 by Julius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 16 Watched The Sandman It was ok. There were a few good episodes, and a few naff ones, but they didn't really feel very joined up. The series felt like it had multiple arcs which weren't all that related to each other. The best bits were the standalone episodes like the one in the diner, and the man who lived for hundreds of years. My main issue with the show is that the guy they got to play Dream was awful. He looked like a student who had just rolled out of bed. Completely wooden and dull, and not enough presence to carry an entire show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I think he lived up a bit over the course of the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25 It's happening! Not sure what to do tbh. I want to cancel to send a message that they're being shitty and greedy, but at the same time, we still do use Netflix a lot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to cancel to send a message that they're being shitty and greedy, but at the same time, we still do use Netflix a lot. Might be more excited for Netflix's next quarterly report than Nintendo's at this rate, in sure their number of cancellations are about to skyrocket. Seen some suggest that if you are cancelling to just state you travel for work months at a time and so lose access to Netflix to mess with their figures a bit. But seriously, talk about shooting yourself in the foot, though, this is like watching a painfully slow train crash in realtime. I actually cancelled my Netflix subscription a couple of months ago because I realised I was using it more to re-watch things for the umpteenth time rather than watch new things, and to be honest, I then realised that there just wasn't enough new scheduled to keep me interested; and when I was occasionally interested in something, there's so much crap on there now that the quality stuff is easily buried also got to mention the silly amount of emails I've had from them since cancelling – Netflix are 100% the crazy ex-girlfriend! Wouldn't blame anyone for keeping it if they still use it a lot, though, there's so much on there that other than their dumb new policies it is still a decent enough deal, I just don't think it's programming is for me (and I'm getting to a point where I'm fine just picking up box sets of the few shows left on there I still want to check out). Can't help but wonder how far we put from cable-like deals which package a bunch of these streaming services together, I know Disney+ took a hit and so there's talk about them packaging ESPN and Disney+ together in more territories. I do find it funny that in a time when most industries are dominated by three, maybe four, big players, that there seems to be dozens of streaming services that all seem to think they can grab a decent enough mindshare and justify their existence. Certainly some that fill specific niches, like anime and classic movie services, but there's just way too much schlock out there on top of that. Kind of feels like we're on course for a content crash when some of these services realise that they can't afford to keep pumping millions in like Netflix did a few years ago, not to mention the writer's strike Edited May 25 by Julius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25 8 minutes ago, Julius said: Netflix are 100% the crazy ex-girlfriend Ironically one of the few shows I still watch on there. But I'm mostly using it to rewatch shows than anything they put out lately so I'm figuring out what I what to do. The easy option is to buy them on something like Prime but that could still be removed. But it seems I'm not affected by this anyway. My mom and nan had access but I think my mom got her own and my nan has now passed away anyway. Just feel like there's no real value in Netflix now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Tuesday at 07:56 AM I didn't think I'd like Fubar as much as I did, but Arnie does it nicely here. The missus and I blasted through it in a weekend with the "just one more..." approach. It's like a series of True Lies (Which I know exists on Disney+, but I haven't watched it yet.) Hope it gets a second season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
