@Strider Marvel and DC are the worst offenders of Multiverse abuse! They couldn't seem to settle on a continuity and that seriously messed with the quality of their stories.
If you're looking for a new (but short) series to watch, I can thoroughly recommend Netflix's A Man in Full (based on a Tom Wolf book);
Jeff Daniels (who I was pretty impressed by here) plays a Trump like character in business meltdown, while a subplot deals with racism & incarceration in Atlanta.
Better still at only six episodes it avoids the mid-series sogginess that blights some streaming offerings.
Idea for the BBC: Take all those antique, auction type TV programmes clogging up BBC 1 and 2 and stick them entirely on a specific channel called BBC Boomer. Go on. I dare you. #TV#UK#BBC
Amazon Prime Video subscribers are about to see even more ads. In January, viewers who didn't pay an additional $3 a month started to see commercials. Now, Amazon has announced that it's adding what it describes as shoppable carousel ads, interactive pause ads and interactive brand trivia ads. Here's more from Ars Technica. We want to know, have you, or will you ditch streaming services as they start to add commercials?
Streaming services that have added ads had better watch their backs: 52% of the people who voted in this poll say they've already dropped a provider because of ads and 36% say they're considering it. Some respondents cited the speedy delivery services as a reason to keep Prime. However, @FediThing points out that Amazon has started charging extra for that in some countries (for example, if you spend under £20 on an order in the U.K., you'll need to pay £1.99 for same-day delivery), so keep an eye on your bills.
Post-holiday Tuesday blues got you down?
Check out my latest blog post where I share some of my favorite stress-relief TV shows that have been absolute lifesavers for me. 📺
ps. Sending you virtual hugs friends! 🤗
@BeautifulSunPhotography 😀 Let me know if you watch any of them and if you liked it! Funny thing, today I opened the sub CasualUK on Reddit, and there was a photo of David Attenborough just before I saw the title announcing his birthday. I almost had a heart attack, I thought he had passed away. He turned 98! Sir David is truly a world treasure!
Eine Serie, die einen jüdisches Leben besser verstehen lässt. Aber vor allem eine Serie, die auf berührende Weise „Fragen, die in jeder Familie existieren: Familie, Liebe, Identität und Zugehörigkeit.“
Kaum zu glauben, dass diese Serie aus Deutschland kommt und in der ARD läuft.
Ein Drittel aller Werbespots für klimaschädliche Produkte
Einer Studie zufolge wirbt rund ein Drittel aller Werbespots im deutschen Fernsehen und bei YouTube für klimaschädliche Produkte. Liegt darin ein Verstoß gegen den Medienstaatsvertrag?
In Season Four, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son and his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes...
I laughed out loud at seeing that the top edit on wikipedia was the #kdrama actor best known for playing villains so nasty that an elderly ajuma once hit him on the head with her purse at a restaurant.
Watch The Glory or Queen of Tears on Netflix to see him plot & scheme!
@AnnaAnthro I don’t know that he’s The Worst (probably isn’t, in fact), but the first that comes to my mind in Shin Seon-rok in The King’s Face. He’s forever tainted for me. I started watching The Last Empress right after this and couldn’t get past 10 minutes in the 2nd episode because I was still seeing red with fury!
But yeah. I have yet to stand I’m in anything. Because of that one role. HATED that character!
@bougiewonderland wasn’t he also the meany business man in My Love From A Star?!
I read somewhere that his nasty screen personas are completely different from who he really is. Apparently his big love is performing in musical theatre!
Ah oui au fait vous pouvez regarder le film #CityHunter en live action sur #netflix !
C'est une adaptation tout à fait honnête qui reprend le début de l'histoire, adaptée un peu différemment mais tout à fait dans le style du manga.
Juste dommage qu'ils aient repris les noms des personnages '"époque Dorothée", ça fait bizarre d'entendre "Rio" et de lire "Nicky" dans les sous titres. Les acteurs sont plutôt bons, avec un Rio très crédible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff7wM4EYj5M
