I miss stuff like the Lower Decks episode that was so good that I actually considered watching an entirely other type of show for it. I used to be so enthralled in this show and am just waiting for the itch to come to get me to start this season instead of forcing it.

I'm not having the same problem in Brave (no ads at all) or Arc. It looks like it's the takeover ad that's not rendering, so the site becomes inoperable. I cleared the cache / hard refreshed incognito again, and it's now working, takeover ad is appearing.

Thought I'd open an incognito to see what the new ads looked like. They break the site for me. Nothing is clickable, not even the ads.

Watched all but The French Connection on Thurs/Fri this past week. Real good time. Going to watch TFC this week sometime. Some very clear throughlines, really looking forward to One Battle After Another.

Finished the last 2 episodes of the season last night...

So I used to be so high on this show and sometime around maybe when I skipped the musical episode... I think it lost me. With this season over, I'm tempted to just hop in and watch the finale to set the table for season 4 sometime. How many 'skippable' episodes / episodes you'd recommend...

Enjoyed Weapons, out on PVOD this week. Paul Thomas Anderson recommended 5 movies to see before his One Battle After Another debuts this week, a few friends and I are going to watch them Thurs/Fri this week: Running on Empty (1988) - PVOD (Kanopy), The Battle of Algiers (1966) - HBO Max...

I'm sure Jerry will make excellent use of those 1st round picks.

I mean, does it violate the terms of their carriage agreement or not? Pretty simple.

There are already studios that don't participate in Movie's Anywhere, it sets a higher bar for if I buy their titles. That's the closest to any of that. The more they make their content harder to watch or buy, the less they sell. It's not in their best interest to hoard these after their...

I'm being neither optimistic or pessimistic, but rather acting on data. I've been consuming content this way for more than 15 years. There has never been a merger or consolidation that I can point to that ever impacted this use case, in my experience. It's like complaining about data usage or...

Ok, and how has that negatively impacted this topic? I get the concern, but the consolidation is not new. It's FUD unless there's already been an impact that I (a relatively heavy user of PVOD) have yet to be impacted by. The closest any of us deal with that is just the ebb and flow of...

Same, the dozens that I redeemed on Vudu and elsewhere are all still there and accessible. Our actual DVDs and Blu-Rays are still in the garage, in their deteriorating cardboard boxes unpacked since our our move into this house almost 10 years ago.
