Bit late to the party, but either Mortal Engines, the Young James Bond series, or Michelle Paver's Chroncal's of Ancient Darkness. They were all very engaging and transformative to a young me.

I probably remember parts of Young James bond the best, there's parts about leeches that really stuck with me. I can still remember Mortal Engines as a whole in great detail, the concept and descriptions of the city chases are fantastic.

Atlanta is one of the slowest releasing shows I've ever seen, and it's so simple. 4 seasons in 7 years, god damn.

Idk what Glover spends all his time doing, he left community early because he was so busy but has pretty much only released Atlanta, Solo and one album since 2010.

I was half way through the third episode and it dawned on me that I just don't care. The story isn't engaging. There had been like 5 minutes of monster hunting which was the best bit. I like the main 4 actors but they're not doing anything with them.

I might slog through a few more episodes but idk if I can be arsed finishing it.

I just check 1337x's trending torrents for movies and TV most days when I turn my computer on. Works well enough for me unless it's a much smaller show. I didn't notice What We do in the Shadows was back for 3 weeks because not enough people DL it for it to be in the top 100.

Good, I hope it dies and never releases in the UK. Netflix is still good here and has all the old 6+ season shows.

I'd probably say on the release day at minimum, a lot of people have 'hide read posts' on and will never see this again.

No, it's not bland. But it falls into the awful category for me at least. That's two appealing movies out of how many? A lot of these new movies have amazing detail but no soul. Pixar has had no joy for years.

I do really hope PiB and Spiderman inspire more studios to put effort into their kids movies.

I absolutely hate the art style they chose for this. Most non live action movies have looked awful/bland over the last few years.

I've only got a out 1.5tb but if I ditched Netflix I'd need to download 10+ shows with hundreds of episodes. I've already got a few 6+ season shows on my Plex but it's mostly 1-2 season newer shows because everything has segregated so much in the past few years. If you don't have Disney+ and want to see all the marvel shit, it's adding up quick. It's not like I'm rewatching all this stuff, I have 300 movies and rewatch one or two maybe once a year. I just keep everything because it's not very expensive to me. If I need more space I'll drop £100 and have storage for the next 5+ years.

Then there's the people who download 25gb 4k movies and shit, I will occasionally but I don't like to do it.

I sub for the skip intros alone, turns out it affects everyone who watches on your server which is great.

I don't really utilise any other aspects of Plex Pass but £4 isn't much to me and Plex is insanely useful to me.

Celebrities with obscene amounts of money is like 1% of actors. Most of them are just Joe shmoes in the background. Actors should get their fair share, I think it's pretty simple, even famous people have been sharing the low amounts they make from streaming.

At least celebrities really only get paid what the market dictates and actually provide joy/entertainment to the people that willingly give them money. 100% of CEO's exploit to make their billions - and they'll never get replaced, they "need" to be in charge, replace everyone else though, they like how cheap it is.

Don't crab bucket. Fight for your right to a share of the profits.
