i enjoyed queen of the south on netflix and i noticed that they had the original la reina del sur and boy oh boy here i thought queen of the south was crazy! i don't really watch telenovelas but maybe i should. not that i will ever watch every episode of la reina del sur.

some of us have……

misunderstandings that can be easily explained except for the fact that the misunderstood character allows the one who's misunderstanding to leave the room in a huff,

Big pet peeve of mine. I also hate when someone’s like, “Mom, I need to tell you something—”; and the mom cuts her off, “Oh good, I need to tell you something…” and that cuts off the revelation that would have resolved everything.

For years I've wanted to write a novel where the characters are basically Brett and Parker from Alien, except nothing exciting happens, they're just banging around in the basement of their spaceship, bitching about their co-workers and why they deserve a raise.

I've always wanted to write sci-fi book about the crew of starship traversing the galaxy in search of life beyond earth... and they never, ever find any.

Boldly going where no man has gone before... and collecting space dust.

Feels to me as if such a book has already been written

I’d read it! (Since I’ll never write it)

Ooh looks like both seasons of Yellowjackets just showed up on Paramount - good news since I don’t subscribe to Showtime.

I didn’t realize this when I posted yesterday but apparently Showtime is now fully included with Paramount+, for no extra fees.

There are loads and loads of shows I wrote off long ago because I never had any intention of paying for yet one more service. Now I guess I need to figure out what I’ve been missing!

Price is actually increasing to $11.99/month.

Out of curiosity, does Paramount have Kidding on there, or is that (fantastic) show still consigned to the void?

Quite a twist there at the very end...

i read this cool jack mcdevitt book and earth-people find this massive ship and all this cool stuff on it and then they discover that its basically a museum and every culture represented on it - including the makers of the ship - have been long gone for millions of years. he's also good at writing books about dead planets. in his future there WAS stuff and people can get to it but its all long dead.

Quite a twist there at the very end...

yes, it was very well written and was honestly one of the best twists I've ever encountered.

I encourage everyone to actually read that book (it's very good!) rather than the wikipedia synopsis (also good, but lacks depth)

That plot reads a bit like Le Guin's novella "Paradises Lost".

Just reading about the author of that book, a gay SF writer (when the genre was not exactly welcoming) and Harvey Milk speechwriter, sounds like an interesting guy!

my kid told me i had to see 90s japanese film Picnic on Youtube. i guess its only on Youtube. i was dubious but i shouldn't have been. cool movie. even looked pretty good on youtube.

It's on DVD, blu-ray, many pirate sites, and seems to have been on Mubi previously.

O dear god why do you do this?

God is a concept

None of those things, except for Mubi which Sic expressly notes IT'S NOT ON, is a streaming service.

It was possibly shown a theatre too, in the 1990s.

How is a bootleg on youtube any more “on a streaming service” than a bootleg on filmups.se?

It was available at the swap meet for awhile too

“When I watch movies uploaded illegally by a Brazilian teenager, it counts as official, because REPLY HAZY, TRY AGAIN. When you watch movies uploaded illegally by a Brazilian teenager to a different website, then the file doesn’t even exist, because BETTER NOT TELL YOU NOW.”

“If the rights-holders of any piece of copyrighted material do not have a license agreement in place that takes effect the immediate second that a previous agreement concludes, then you personally are free to print-on-demand and give it away to anyone. This is how publishing works.”

OK, Clippy

Great episode of the Pure Cinema podcast where Tarantino goes full film professor for 4 1/2 hours about full movies that can be found on YouTube because of none/mysterious rights issues. Some great movies I wasn't familiar with...

OK, Clippy

It looks like someone
very mildly posted some relevant facts. Would you like to
scream at them on a personal level about something you’ve made up in your head?

"relevant"

Argh, i withdraw and apologise, sorry.

Don't bother, sic loves arguing.

hard to be a pedant these days, you have to invent an entire type of guy to argue against

watched Polite Society on Peacock. it was silly. it made me want to go watch the seasons of Derry Girls that I haven't seen.

i'm excited for the second season of Barbecue Showdown on Netflix. it promises to be even more soothing and loving than the first season. for one thing they have that woman who needs to carry everything in a little wagon because she can barely walk after her motorcycle accident! how will she cope with the time challenges!!??

i've also switched from Hulu to Max to watch Chopped because on Max there are no commercials and i can watch them faster. like candy! like sweaty chef candy!

it bugs me that i pay for no commercial hulu but i also get the live hulu which means there is content that does not play by the hulu no commercials rule. man, talk about your first world problems.

Dude, live Hulu is like $75 a month! You might as well just have cable!

well, it IS cable in a way. so, what's the difference between cable and hulu live? 400 channels of bad digital radio?

i got live hulu for my dad. for his msnbc and cnbc. i'm on hulu all the time anyway. i did kinda get used to all the sports. if i don't have live sports on my t.v. i just never watch sports. but if i have it all of a sudden i'm a sports expert.

this is what i get for 80 bucks a month. and i pay for hbo so it ends up being about 100 bucks a month.

they just started that 9 months thing for recordings which is pretty cool. i can store movies for later. that way even if tcm or whoever takes it off i can still see it.

i do admit that having live t.v. when things are extra Trumpy out there is appreciated. mostly i try to stay away from cnn and msnbc. definite bad thing is no non-horrible news option. no bbc. no sky news. no al jazeera. but i can go to youtube for those.

its sad that there is no generic AP/Reuters type 24 news station on t.v. that just reads worldwide headlines. cable news being an op/ed column come to life.

"24 HOUR"

i watched The Village on Netflix. 2023 Japanese movie. there are some good visuals and the Noh Theatre stuff is great but overall.....underwhelming.

I’ve seen approx. 900 social media posts this week about how great the music cues in “The Bear” are…

come to The Bear thread & disavow us of our notions

i dare u

Guess I’ll have to check it out!

Kind of want a stuffed animal of the groundhog boy from Sweet Tooth.

or a pet groundhog

watched Polite Society on Peacock. it was silly. it made me want to go watch the seasons of Derry Girls that I haven't seen.

recommend the director's previous project, We Are Lady Parts, about a female muslim punk band

Titanic is on Netflix, if anyone’s interested

I watched all 5 episodes of the Idol and can confirm it is complete disaster, just utterly unconvincing pivots in character motivations, dropped storylines, and bad acting.
