I felt the show wasn't well promoted and would catch on by word of mouth. To me it represents the perfect Netflix type show.

To me it represents the perfect Netflix type show.We started it and they cancelled it about the time we finished the third ep. Stopped right there. I figured it would be a five season show.

August 27, 20241 yr At the time, I finished Night Skies but moved on to another Prime show - The Peripheral another great that fortunately got renewed for Season 2... and then Amazon cancelled it after renewing it due to the prolonged actors strike... Many great shows available for someone to finish Edited August 27, 20241 yr by MonkeyDoughnut
September 28, 20241 yr The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal. 4-part documentary, a must-watch if you are a fan of their music.

October 18, 20241 yr The new season of The Legend of Vox Machina is just as great as the first two. Definitely geeky as it’s an animated D&D series, but it’s adult oriented with plenty of violence and language and a smidge of sex. The group of voice actors who created it are talented and funny. Final three episodes of the season drop on the 24th.
October 25, 20241 yr Season 3 of Legend of Vox Machina wrapped up awesome, and left the door open for 4. It’s been so good.
December 11, 20241 yr Fellow video game nerds, check out Secret Level. Animated series that has original stories set in the worlds of video games. The Pac-Man episode is kinda insane. Short episodes too - around 15 minutes. Keanu is in the Armored Core episode and Schwarzenegger is in the New World episode.

If you are talking about Warhammer gaming as a hobby... It will destroy your life and it will suck up your free time and your money. You will become friends with people you used to hate.
December 12, 20241 yr Yep. I'll have to beat you up on principal. Edited December 12, 20241 yr by MissingInAction
December 12, 20241 yr I’m not buying all that shit and starting whatever it is. Video games waste enough time.

December 13, 20241 yr Red one - the rock and Chris Evans save Santa Now on prime. That seemed quick…Movie is enjoyable enough.

I just don't give the slightest of fucks about this movie...but I know I'll give in to the algorithm one night before Christmas. A couple A-list stars phoning it in for a paycheck in a big budget, paint-by-numbers Christmas movie? Sure, I guess.
December 13, 20241 yr Red one is pretty funny, plus Nandor is in it. Won't spoil the character he plays

Before it was released it was getting fucking hammered by critics but it has a great popcorn score on rotten tomatoes. I might go check it out with the boy if I hear it's worth it from the surl collective
December 20, 20241 yr WSJ article: Amazon bought MGM Studios in large part because MGM owned the rights to the James Bond movies. But the owners of the James Bond IP think Amazon Studios is run by fuckin' idiots so she won't greenlight a new Bond movie, spinoff or tv show. WSJ https://archive.ph/60GWW

They really screwed the pooch when they didn't cast Idris Elba. He would have been so great.
December 26, 2024Dec 26 Really enjoyed Secret Level on Amazon, thanks to those above that recommended, The warhammer 40k episode is a work of art.
December 26, 2024Dec 26 I also enjoyed Secret Level. Some of the episodes were straightforward stories set in their corresponding game universe, but some went pretty abstract with it. The animation work was amazing throughout. The story telling was spot on. The emotional impact was satisfying.
December 28, 2024Dec 28 Mr Beast Games is pretty wild. I usually don’t go in for reality tv but this is sort of a game show too. There are some real morons competing.

My kids and I have been talking about how mentally weak these people are. They start blubbering at the drop of a hat. They should be embarrassed.

Also most of them don’t seem to grasp that it’s a competition and the odds of winning the grand prize are very small. If you can get out with five figures or more you should.
December 29, 2024Dec 29 Beast Games is diabolical. I do wonder how enough people are watching this show to justify a 22 million dollar investment.
January 1Jan 1 I watched My Old Ass with our girl Aubrey Plaza last night. I liked it overall, but Spoiler I'm not a fan of movies where an impossible scenario is introduced, which lures you in, and then the movie ends with no explanation of how the impossible scenario happened. The "it's up to the audience to decide how it happened" is really lazy.

January 5Jan 5 These Beast Games contestants are such morons. There must have been an IQ test to get on the show.

January 14Jan 14 just stumbled across "On Call". Gritty police procedural set in LGB. so far I'm digging it.
January 15Jan 15 Beast Games It's both pathetic and amazing. The Squid Game guard costumes crack me up. Edited January 15Jan 15 by MissingInAction

It's like watching the Stanford prison experiment in real time. Some of these idiots need to learn basic calculation of expected future value. The guy that held out for 100k at the very beginning got it. And speaking of money, I just do not understand the economics of streaming. Between insane prize money being thrown around like candy, complex sets and games, thousands of cameras and dozens of support staff, how much money is this costing? How in the hell does Amazon turn a profit?
