I don't think I can really say it was good or bad but much like the movie it was certainly an experience. I loved it. It was so preposterous that the more it was the more we liked it. Definitely the strangest movie I've seen in a while. Fiennes is masterful and Taylor-Joy is a joy to watch. (pun intended) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost went with YouTube TV but only Hulu carries SNY where I am. But YouTube has more channels, allows for more simultaneous streams, and is cheaper. Hulu's exclusive content is OK, but IMO if you're really putting that much weight into original programming, no live TV streamer is going to hold its own in that department compared to Netflix and HBO, unless you're counting the fact that Hulu comes with Disney (and ESPN). I did do a free trial of YTV a while ago and it's also worth noting that their app is also way better than Hulu's. I don't know what is up with Hulu. We have a bunch of streaming apps and rarely use Hulu. Recently when we try using it to watch Yellowstone or Dopesick it freezes up and shuts off every 10 minutes or so. Frustrating enough that we don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The live section freezes up all the time when I switch channels. Like regularly. If I wasn't forced to use them for the Mets I honestly would go with someone else.

I watched High Plains Drifter the other day which doesn’t seem to be highly reviewed but I liked the horror feel I got from it. Then I watched the Wild Bunch which was good but I didn’t really get into the characters. Next up…? I have The Searchers. I lived in Durango, MX for a few years which John Wayne, among others, adored. I’ve already seen the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and it was ******* great as well as Unforgiven.

NFL, it's not too bad, as you can't see the announcers mouth moving, and the dialogue it's just a little later. Baseball is horrible, the batter swings, is getting out the batter's box, and you hear the crack of the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how old you are but Fonda, Robards and Bronson are great in this Sergio Leone classic. Pretty sure it was filmed in Italy. I saw it in a huge theater in either 1969 or 70. and yeah... Frank is a real bastard in this. And like all Leone films, it is looooong. Need lots of popcorn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is the not the firestick, it is Hulu. At least one firestick is necessary because they lost the remote to that TV. The firestick has a remote which will turn the TV on and allow you to adjust volume. Last night we were lucky to get 10 minutes in Dopesick before a shut down. That is on the "smart" TV. I guess I will try to reinstall the app on that TV and maybe it will work better, but I am not optimistic. It seems to lock up with the chromecasts and firesticks.

JetsfaninNorthHollywood Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 It certainly set dentistry back. Even today my dentist said he's had patients from young adults to seniors make reference to it. And of course Seinfeld and the "Anti-dentite" run a close second.

RutgersJetFan Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 The first 40 minutes or so of You People is absolutely hysterical. Julia Louis-Dreyfuss had me falling off my couch laughing. The flick starts going in a lot of places that really needed to be gone to, and then it just...stops. The whole thing becomes some very stupid and very cliché pile of drivel after that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
