    Borderlands (2024)

    I am a huge fan of the BL games and am looking forward to this. I must say I am surprised they went with more "seasoned" actors for most of the main characters. Interesting choice. The trailer gave me hope that they seemed to get the humor in the games. I am a little disappointed that they...

    Amazon Prime Commercials Coming To Amazon Prime in 2024

    Prime was definitely worth it when it first started. It included lots more free music and it let me upload my own collection as well. I could listen to everything I own on my first gen Alexa. Then slowly, over time, they removed the ability to have your collection uploaded, then they moved most...

    Amazon Prime Commercials Coming To Amazon Prime in 2024

    I added in the extra $36 per year to not get ads.

    Amazon Prime Commercials Coming To Amazon Prime in 2024

    This is the last straw for me with Amazon Prime. I first became a prime member when it was $79 a year and included a lot more free music. Now, they are basically raising my yearly fee to $175 per year, to get the same level of service. My membership is not up for renewal until June, by I have...

    Wonka (2023)

    From what I can tell from the few review snippets I have read, it seems that there is a divide between the fun and whimsical fans of the Wilder version and the fans of the darker Johnny Depp version. I think depending on what the reviewers felt about the previous 2 films, it affected their...

    Hulu Futurama's coming back BABY!

    Just finished watching the 1st 2 episodes of the new season. It is definitely still Futurama. Luckily, they got back all the original voice actors (at least according to the end credits). The first episode was a bit meta, but I guess they had to acknowledge the fact that this show has been...

    Voiceplay - Modern Acapella at its Best

    I am not sure if anyone else here has heard of Voiceplay. They showed up in my YouTube recommendations for some reason, and I have become obsessed with them. This is not like the college acapella like in the movie Pitch Perfect. This is acapella on steroids. There are 3 big acapella groups that...

    Ghosts (US) (2021) - Season 1

    I wonder if they could have used the ghost trap to trap the car ghost, Move the car far off the property, then release her in the mansion? Would she just instantly go back to the car, or would she have been able to be stuck in the house with the rest? These are the sort of things I think about...

    Netflix That '90s Show (Netflix)

    I enjoyed it more than I expected. The original I loved because that was my time as a teen. I was 7 thru 17 in the 70's so was basically the exact same age as the "kids". Since I was an adult int he 90's, I wasn't sure I would get a lot of the references, and I was right, but it didn't seem to...

    Netflix To Crackdown On Password Sharing

    I am glad to hear this. I can't help but feel my monthly subscription rate keeps going up partly due to all of the people basically getting the service for free. If you use a service, pay for it like the rest of us.

    Netflix That '90s Show (Netflix)

    I binged this yesterday and I agree that it did a really good job of feeling like the 70's show, but a newer generation. I think the actress playing Leia is perfect imho. She did feel like she could be a daughter of Eric and Donna. I am not happy who they chose for her first romantic hookup.

    Netflix Wednesday (Addams) - Live Action Series by Tim Burton

    I am halfway through. It is compelling enough. I think the actress playing Wednesday is doing a really good job. My only real complaint so far is that there is a little too much of the high school romance stuff going on among the students. Some places it feels like this should be on the CW...

    R.I.P Leslie Jordan

    This is really sad news. He seemed like a really genuine nice guy. I wonder if "Call me Kat" had finished filming the current season yet? It will be horrible to see them have to deal with this in a "comedy" show.

    The "Guilty Pleasures" Movie Confession Thread

    Mine is probably Electric Dreams. It might just be I loved the soundtrack. The plot is predictable and the acting not very good but since I was really into synth music in the 80's I just loved the soundtrack. Plus, it had that 80s computer graphics that we all love. :) CGI changed a lot in...

    The Orville - Season 3

    I like this show but I do think they need to stop with the Moclan stories. It is starting to feel like every species in this show is just an over-the-top extreme example of each of societies bad aspects. One species is overzealous religion, one (two?) is over the top sexists, one species is...

    The Munsters

    That trailer confused me. Is this supposed to be a loving homage to the series, of a spoof of it? When I first saw the initial black and white trailer with them going through the door, I had hope. But after seeing the bright colorful stuff in the last trailer, I am confused. And Herman's voice...

    Netflix Netflix Series - Stranger Things 4

    I will start off saying that I really liked this season so don't misinterpret my following post as complete negativity. I really don't think the extra-long episodes were a good idea. The final episode this season felt really long, and I was ready for it to end. That should not be the case. I...

    Barbie (2023)

    I admit my initial reaction was pretty bad, but then I remembered my reaction to hearing they were making a Lego Movie was the same. That turned out to be a very good movie in my opinion.

    Netflix Netflix Series - Stranger Things 4

    I have watched through episode 3. I am sort of still on the fence about this season. I know it is early, but half of each episode so far has felt more like a Teen Drama on the CW network. Complete with way over the top bullies that are just not realistic. I have hopes that it seems now (at the...

    Peacemaker (HBO MAX 2022)

    Enjoying it so far. I am a little surprised that DC is OK with someone sort of making fun of their IP. I get the feeling only Gunn would be given this much leeway. But I am glad they are allowing this. It is definitely something different than the normal superhero stuff we have been bombarded...

    Ghosts (US) (2021) - Season 1

    I do hope they get more into why the ghost are still trapped. What the unfinished business was that is keeping them there. I would have thought that Pete would have been "sucked off" after his story about his ex and seeing his grandchild. What is keeping him here now? I think it would be cool...

    Ghosts (US) (2021) - Season 1

    The more I get through the BBC version, the more I am sure that the main reason I like the US version better is the husband character. Michael, in the BBC version, is just a horrible, selfish person some times and a complete moron most of the time. I can't sympathize with him at all. In the...

    Ghosts (US) (2021) - Season 1

    I agree that British comedy in general is good. I also agree it is different than American comedy. That doesn't necessarily make one better than the other. I think everyone agrees that canned laughter is a bad thing and I have noticed that it is slowly going away, at least on the sitcoms I...

    Ghosts (US) (2021) - Season 1

    I just watched the first 4 episodes of the British version on HBO Max. I have to disagree with Peter. I think the new American version is better. It might just be whichever one you see first sets up your expectations. I am finding the British one just too British if that makes sense. I usually...

    Ghosts (US) (2021) - Season 1

    I am really liking it. I went in with zero expectations and was wondering how it would work. I don't know the overall plan, but I hope we get to see the main ghosts eventually get "sucked off" as they call it. I really like that they are expanding her seeing ghosts to everywhere she goes. This...

    What We Do in the Shadows (FX)

    I just finished watching the latest episode and I have a question. I thought that the Vampires in this world can't eat or drink human food. How did Lazlo get drunk? Did I miss something? Do they just drink the blood of a dunk person?
