TV/Movies Megathread

[The Brain]

Watch the first. Then watch the second. Then stop.

I like the 3rd, not as good but still worth a watch. I really like the setting.

Third was interesting.  Not sure it was good or not.  Never watched past that.

Not missing anything.
The rest after 3 would be like watching the autopsy of a crash victim.  Followed by another autopsy.  And another.

That's been my take on the situation.  Never felt like I missed out on anything.

Is it really the case that the only way to watch the new Star Trek is to subscribe to yet another fucking streaming service?

Yes.  Unless if you live outside of Canada/US, where it's on Netflix.

That being said I don't regret it.

There are others ways.

Yeah, the setting was interesting.  Too bad the plot sucked.

Get used to it. That's the way TV watching is heading. Cord cutters will find it soon cheaper just to shut up and get cable.

I only ever paid for cable for one year.  I don't like their business model and I have no interest in throwing them money.  So no, I won't be getting cable, even if all the streaming services went out of business tomorrow.

Of course I also don't like the balkanization of streaming, so I won't be signing up for CBS's service just to get one show.  I think niche streaming services will tend to die off (see SeeSo, Crackle, go90).

Depends on how much and what kind of TV you truly want to watch. A la carte pricing is slowly becoming a reality, and for those of us that don't ever watch 95% of cable TV's offerings, it's still going to be better to pay for a handful of streaming services over the $60-120/month price of cable packages.

Well, good luck with that 2 years from now under a Trump Administration FCC. After he's through with dismantling net neutrality, Ajit Pai is going to personally supervise everybody plugging back into cable TV circa 1995.

Trainspotting II on TV. Worth watching, Languish?

[Eddie Teach]

Possibly. I'm not watching it though.

Trainspotting II on TV. Worth watching, Languish?

Based solely on the fact I didn't know it existed: no.
