i should also mention you can sometimes select no-rush shipping, which gives you digital credit $$& to spend on prime video etc

Whereā€™s Peacock?!

(I voted HBO Max-- I think Netflix has kinda fallen off and thereā€™s so much stuff on there, plus stuff I might not see another way or think to see.)

I started keeping a spreadsheet because I started watching so many more movies last year than I had been for about a decade.

Still no, not after the latest episode, whew.

(Iā€™m not sure season 2 is as good as season 1, which was impeccably paced on top of being funny and plot/character-compelling, but man do they know how to make those serious moments land.)

Voted Netflix
write in vote for EasyNews

I was able to find an extra 3 seasons of Colombo with peacock. But they fucked me yesterday, I got the thing for English premier league and they didnā€™t show Chelsea v Man city live. I had to subscribe to a cable provider with NBC sports network. Bullshit

She isnā€™t, technically. She was born and raised in London but moved to Michigan and is a US citizen.

Midnight Mass is pretty good

Anyone watch and like Black Summer?

Just finished Squid game. Loved it but one thing I still canā€™t figure out:

How do they get to 16 for the second to last challenge. After tug of war there are 40 people left. Since the doctor is killed, there are 38 that play marbles, but then the crazy woman got a pass, so there should still be 20 people left. What happened to the other 4?

Havenā€™t voted in the poll yet because Iā€™m doing my own research.

Man Foundation first off maybe donā€™t give terrible peopleā€™s estate a bunch of money but also like every single person who is a backwards naĆÆve evil dumbass is a POC and all the wise masterminds are white? Come the fuck on lol. And the fucking purple and green colors everywhere my fucking eyes! I swear I got a bad rip or something but canā€™t imagineā€¦

That said well Jared Harris and Lee Pace are treasures and I guess Iā€™ll give e2 a shot but wooow. Second they kill off Harris Iā€™m probably done.

Iā€™m assuming 4 groups ran out of time with no winner in the marble game

No Survivor talk?

Im in deep. First season watching live after picking it up during quarantine with friends. Got about 1/3 of the past seasons under my belt.

New season moves at lightning pace from the start and was certainly entertaining. Looks promising. My small group I chat with it about all have different routing interests so far as well.

Thatā€™s me unloading the moving truck at the beginning. It was the last background gig Iā€™ve done - the week everything shut down because of COVID.

I might have gotten a little bit more screen time (though who knows how the scene is edited), if not for the actor playing the dad. The car was to come up the driveway, family gets out, looks at the house, then walks in. I was supposed to carry something to the house and I wouldā€™ve been right there in front of or behind the family (canā€™t recall, exactly). But the actor - who Iā€™ve seen in things before and thought was great - couldnā€™t drive the classic car up the driveway for some reason. They got someone on the transportation crew to do it and therefore couldnā€™t do the same type of take. I never ended up walking to the house. It was a little frustrating (just a little - Iā€™m just a nobody background extra and was happy to do my little part), but at the same time always so interesting to see how people adjust to seemingly unimportant things that donā€™t go as planned. Hell, I canā€™t drive a stick, so if someone wanted me to do that, Iā€™d be screwed.

It was fun, though - I got contacts for the first time in my life so I could see on set. Havenā€™t worn them since.

EDIT: According to the name patch on my jumper, I was ā€œAl.ā€

I watched. Forgot about survivor-survivor on 2p2. Made a couple of deep runs a few seasons back. Sucked more recently.

Glad the know it allā€™s are back. The rest of RHAP has got a little too inside baseball for me. Jumped the shark with that Wandoff shit.

2 eps into Midnight Mass. I have only been to a couple of actual Catholic Masses, but this priestā€™s sermons seem more like what you would hear at an evangelical church. Maybe the Catholics here can tell me if Iā€™m wrong.

Not Catholic but married to one. There is massive, massive variance in how priests approach sermons. Iā€™ve been to one where the guy gave a good olā€™ evangelical-style fire and brimstone sermon where he singled out the one greatest evil in the entire world as, and I shit you not, not one of the so-called seven deadly sins, not racism, not sexual abuse of little boys, not the hoarding of wealth, not the destruction of the planet, not warlords and dictators, not imperialism, not slavery, not atheism, not even something silly like porn but contraception, even when used by married couples.
