Jake and the Ilx man

xxpost If we wind up going down that road, can we just make it a behind-the-scenes series about the fashion empire of Gordon Gartrelle?

DJI: lol only FuboTV (of all networks) has both Holland films, Starz and DirectTV have the Far From Home as well. weird, but I guess Sony sold the rights to them prior to Disney+

No Incredible Hulk on Disney+ either iirc (which I'm sure people are crying about).

D+ had the first Holland film at one point (I’m pretty sure). IIRC, they made deals w/licensees to get back some of their content for a limited window around launch.

(They only recently got Moana, which is a big deal)

Anyone know the arcane corporate goings-on that led to this?

Spider-Man: Far From Home is streaming/on-demand on Fubo, Starz and DirectTV, rentable on AMC for $6, in print on DVD ($31) and Blu-Ray ($18), and available as a 4K download from Amazon, Fandango, Vudu, Apple TV, Google Play, Youtube, Redbox, DirectTV, AMC and Microsoft for $10, $15, $16, $20 or $31 depending on platform.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is streaming/on-demand on Fubo, FXNow, DirectTV and Spectrum, available for digital rent or purchase (in SD, HD and 4K) on Vudu, Amazon, Fandango, Apple TV, Google Play, Youtube, AMC, Redbox, Microsoft, DirectTV, Google Play, and Microsoft for $2.99, $3.99, $9.99, $12.99, $13.99, $14.99, or $29.99, and in print on DVD for $7.59 and Blu-Ray for $16.

Into The Spider-Verse can be rented and bought on the same platforms for $2.99 to $29.99, and bought on DVD for $11 or Blu for $13.

A box set of the three on Blu-Ray, with bonus digital download, including the bonus features (so probably the 2-hour alternate cut of Spider-Verse) is $33, basically the price of any two of them alone.

I have literally zero knowledge of the arcane goings on, but my inference is that the owners have licensed the films to various retailers, rental outfits, and DVD/Blu labels. In the last case, possibly one that they own.

Finished the first season of Dead to Me. I was lukewarm through most of it, but I liked where it went the last couple of episodes.

It’s good!

Looks like same arguments and stuff (and the gals seem to have aged much “better” than the guys):

Where’s the Road Rules reunion?

I think a lot of those folks appeared in later cycles of Challenge / The Gauntlet and shit like that.

(Season 2 of Road Rules was great – the one with Christian, Devin, Effie, Emily, and Timmy.)

I don't even remember Road Rules before the Challenge era to be honest.

Today I learned that George Wendt is the maternal uncle of Jason Sudekis.

must've inherited his face-punchability from his father's side

re iCarly above and Sam not being in it: "what - really?? she's the reason I liked the show (as an adult waaaaay too old for it). that kid was funny"

"Jennette McCurdy, 'iCarly' star, has quit acting and resents her career"

https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/03/entertainment/jennette-mccurdy-icarly-quit-acting/index.html

sounds like she primarily acted to help her family out and now she's like 'fuck that'

Cool

stop trying to make paramount+ happen

"I ultimately quit after my mom passed away, because with her death kind of died a lot of her ideas for my life, and that was its own journey and a difficult one for sure," McCurdy said.

The whole experience led her to say: "I resent my career in a lot of ways," and left her feeling "so unfulfilled by the roles that I played and felt like it was the most just cheesy, embarrassing" thing.

that is a commendable amount of perspective for someone in her position (or anyone, actually). good for her

Hopefully she'll look back with a different perspective on the role someday (and not feel embarrassed); she was funny and did good work.

Trying out Par+ now. To answer Josh’s question: sadly, Beavis and Butt-head does not include the videos.

The movie selection is so ratchet... clearly much of the good stuff had been licensed out. There’s Grease 2 and Grease Live, but not Grease (etc.). All three Godfathers are there at least.

The first episode of the Real World thing is good. They could have half-assed it, but it’s a real production. If you liked the original, you’ll dig it.

(This app also has some prime Nineties Nicktoon nostalgia, if that’s your jam. As for me, I’m firing up “Daria”...)

i'm sure this has been asked before but surely there's already a meta-service that accepts login details for all these OTT providers and scrapes them into a single interface?

...you mean Roku? (I half jest; are you talking about a web interface?)

Amazon Prime (Fire Stick) also lets you search most of them from the main/Home area.

(I think the AppleTV app also does this, but I don’t use it.)

Watching “Rocko’s Modern Life” with the kids – everything about the aesthetic is so insanely “‘90s.”

Apple TV does that for some things but not everything. Netflix doesn’t make their stuff available to the Apple TV app.you have to go into Netflix app to find anything in yhere.

As mentioned, Roku's search app is fairly good for this

it’s been awhile since i used my Roku stick. it used to be discrete apps iirc.

"Fake Famous" was an OK doc, but think the third (or fourth) doc I've seen this month that ends with the arrival of Covid shutting things down.

It turns out Becky from The Real World was in spiritual communication with John Lennon (including songwriting assistance) from 1987 to 2002.

There was a season 5 of Ballers and it is on HBO Max and it is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Entourage looks like The Sopranos in comparison.

xpost loool that was so very

it's amazing how everyone on the real world turned out exactly like you'd imagine they would

ty for the insistent recommendations of Patriot itt, that show was amazing. agree with whoever said it had one of the best depictions of depression, and it was just genuinely surprising and funny throughout. it's hard to think of anything else that combines such warmth with such darkness and humor

xp I wouldn’t have predicted the turn that Eric took, but it makes total sense.

I’ve been rewatching the original series; it’s still such a pleasure / so much fun.

xpost Yeah we finally finished Patriot and the perfect balance of warmth/bleakness just cannot be overstated. People doing horrific things and being put through horrific ordeals side-by-side with some of the coziest, chummiest depictions of bonhomie I've ever seen on tv. Cool Rick's day-long bachelor party was just great, such a cool hang with people genuinely enjoying one another's company. And then some shit goes down, naturally. But walking that tightrope without the show ever becoming tonally jarring...masterful. Contrasted with something like Search Party, which failed on that count imo and proves that it takes a skilled hand to pull off a balancing act like that.

i could have sworn there was a patriot thread but apparently not

i need to get through the second season still

Patriot depicted the not-so-banality of evil in a way that gets to the crux of why we have so much cause for despair as a society, yet have hope that human individuals may redeem themselves, but without letting individuals off the hook for personal failings

and also highlights the absurdity of the whole enterprise

i could have sworn there was a patriot thread but apparently not

What's good on Amazon Prime Video
