November 29, 20205 yr The Industry is pretty good. Not great, but entertaining. Seeing a big city fast paced show based on an office lifestyle really makes you long for the non-pandemic world, even if it is dramatized.
November 30, 20205 yr How To with John Wilson is phenomenal. One of the more unique things I’ve ever watched.
December 3, 20205 yr When the fuck are they gonna get an app for LG smart tv's? I like not having to have device plugged into the damn tv

I'm not too pleased with no app for our main TV, an older Vizio. I bought a new Samsung for the study earlier in the year and it has the HBO Max. My wife's solution is to buy a new TV for the living room. I suspect there is something I can plug into one of the many HDMI ports that can get us HBO Max for less than $700.

We have a Samsung, and our HBO Max app stopped working, saying we need to update the app, but providing no way to update it. WTF?
December 3, 20205 yr Because Roku does not (yet) support HBO Max I’m casting from my iPhone to the Roku TV via Airplay. So far it works fine.
December 3, 20205 yr Warner Bros releasing all 2021 movies on HBO Max - https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/3/22150605/hbo-max-warner-bros-movies-2021-simultaneous-release-matrix-godzilla-suicide-squad-space-jam
December 3, 20205 yr we use roku but luckily have a samsung smart tv that provides a little shortcut. it's mildly annoying, since we don't use the smart features for anything except hbo max at this point. my sister in law, however, only uses roku and has an older tv. what's the cheapest way for her to get it? amazon fire stick or something? she was all stoked to use our login info, and now somehow this is my problem to fix.

It looks like Saints of Newark should be out in March. I’m sure David Chase is deeply pissed his baby isn’t getting a wide theatrical release.

December 4, 20205 yr When the fuck are they gonna get an app for LG smart tv's? I like not having to have device plugged into the damn tvIt’s annoying but the airplay in LG works really well from what I have seems.
December 4, 20205 yr I just cast it using the chrome cast. But I got both that and a roku so there’s nothing I can’t stream basically.
December 4, 20205 yr Finally gave up on Roku and ordered Apple TV. The casting worked fine for HBO Max except it was still annoying to do that. I just want shit to work without thinking about it.

December 4, 20205 yr Anyone using the HBO Max app on FireTV yet? Anyone else have the same unfuckingbearably slow load times, buffers, glitches, etc? Of course, the only thing I've found to fix it is "reset your device" or "reset the app" or "check your wifi connection". Well no shit. Tried all that with no improvements. And the wifi is fine...runs every other app and device flawlessly. I guess I'll be canceling if I can't figure something out.
December 4, 20205 yr No idea how I missed a new Matrix. As others have mentioned, ROKU and HBO Max need to get their shit together. Just read an article published an hour ago stating that they're close.

December 4, 20205 yr The old HBO Now app on our Fire Stick used to constantly stop to buffer when every other app worked fine. I think it is fair to say that the people behind everything app related at HBO are just incompetent.

I think it is fair to say that the people behind everything app related at HBO are just incompetent. Having used the HBOGo app for a number of years, I would completely agree with this. Another really weird thing, their Cinemax app, MAXGo, was virtually identical in look, feel, and functionality, but contained no chromecast "link" or button, ever. Long after it appeared in HBOGo. I mean, I know it's their second-tier channel, but JFC.

The worst part for me is my TV is installed flat against the wall so I can’t get to the inputs to plug in a ROKU or Firestick. I need LG to add the app. Same goes for Apple TV. It sucks to have a TV with a great picture but I can’t access to of the main streamers right now.
December 7, 20205 yr Huge news and another blow to theatersAll the new Warner Bros. movies coming to HBO Max, from 'Wonder Woman 1984' to 'The Suicide Squad'Patrick RyanUSA TODAYThere are 18 more reasons not to leave your couch next year.

December 8, 20205 yr Curious if they’ll reverse course. The rest of Hollywood (read: key talent relationships) are absolutely losing their shit at WB.

December 8, 20205 yr I'll post this here understanding this may be too dense for folks who just want to understand what's going on with the app, but this is the background to HBO Max and the strategy and business plan behind it. I read it the other day and found it interesting. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/04/att-dismantles-time-warner-to-battle-netflix-the-inside-story.html

December 10, 20205 yr Just watched Valley of Tears about Israeli soldiers during the Yom Kippur war. Only 10 episodes. Not horrible.

December 11, 20205 yr Chris Nolan called HBO Max “the worst” streaming service. Clearly he doesn’t have Peacock.
December 11, 20205 yr I'm listening to a pretty good interview with Jason Kilar on the Sway podcast. WB is not backing down from the 2021 simultaneous release of movies on HBO Max.
December 11, 20205 yr Now that Disney+ has completely upped the ante, and shocked the hell out of everybody, wonder if WB/HBO is going to announced even just 50 new shows and movies.

December 12, 20205 yr Now that Disney+ has completely upped the ante, and shocked the hell out of everybody, wonder if WB/HBO is going to announced even just 50 new shows and movies.Well if the 2021 strategy works (making all theatrical releases available online for the first month) in addition to what HBO has done for years (must see series) they could be competitive for sure.
December 17, 20205 yr Anyone checked out the Heavens Gate doc?Sent from my SM-G981U using TapatalkI just finished it last night. I knew some about heavens gate but the doc covered a lot more details than one would casually know. A big component of the series is what drives people to join cults as well. It was worth watching but it is pretty depressing, especially seeing some of the people left behind.
December 18, 20205 yr Heavens Gate documentary was good. I recommend another documentary, Class Action Park. The 1980’s fucking ruled.
December 18, 20205 yr They didn’t hype Sean Connery’s final role as Barry Gibb in The Bee Gees documentary nearly enough.
December 18, 20205 yr The Flight Attendant wrapped up nicely even with a hamfisted opening for season 2.

December 21, 20205 yr I just got HBO Max in place of the Roku HBO finally.Am I supposed to be shocked by Class Action Park? It looks fucking awesome. And not much crazier than Schlitterbahn in the late 80s.
