    I preferred making something like this and pumping up with a high pressure bicycle tire pump.

    It was my understanding that the actual subscription numbers are all faulty. One of Netflix's potential undoing is that one account is shared by too many people in all markets, but it is probably much worse in India, Africa, etc... It's like to 300+ Arabs that share a single Costco account near...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I guess there are 204 flavors... I stand corrected. What I thought was burger was #27, Azuki Bean flavor: https://thisis-japan.com/kitkat-flavors/ Some of them sounds pretty fucking delicious. Guess there is really no Bat flavor or Monkey-brains...

    Japan seems so much more civilized than China; but the shit they eat in Japan is almost (if not equally) as funky as in China. Burger and seaweed Kitkat bars? Pizza flavored candy bars too? Dudes, seriously?

    So weird that the Spanish labeling is so aggressive. Excess calories, excess sodium! Last I checked my Funyuns are never self-deprecating. They're just golden deliciousness!

    The Sandman

    Well, to be fair; Constantine was kinda white AND gay... At least they made it very clear that the show was fantasy. Maybe that's the REAL agenda (as you just outlined so nicely)!!

    Prey

    OK- watched it. Wanted to hate it in the first 15 minutes because it was abundantly clear where this film was heading. Comanche-chick-wanna-be-warrior vs predator. Yeah, they kind of telegraphed the whole thing in those first 15 minutes. BUT- damn it, it was fucking entertaining! Holy shit...

    House of the Dragon

    There needs to be an adjustment coefficient for the total number of black viewers proportional to the actual number that pay for the channel.

    The Sandman

    That's a pretty succinct summary of the issue. The fact that they have injected more gay into this show than Gay Pride day in Key West is distracting and annoying and wholly unnecessary to the narrative.

    Yup-- carbon monoxide poisoning and second and third degree burns are probably the only way to make "futbol" exciting....

    The Sandman

    It's enjoyable so far. Would much rather have seen Matt Ryan return as John Constantine than have the girl from Doctor Who become Johanna Constantine. Also- it is so dark. Not thematically but literally. I want to turn the brightness up on the TV half the time. A lot of shows take this tact and...

    Star Trek: Lower Decks

    I finished watching all of them. It starts off very uneven in season 1. By season 2 it hits it strides and, at times, is very VERY good. Like SNW, it gets Trek. It also is meta, and is without question is the most easter-egg filled, best-researched Trek creation ever (without being...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I have to agree big time. Again, I remember waiting for episodes of TNG to air (and putting up with that sort-of disastrous) first season. The show had it's moments of glory for certain. But it also had a lot of crap-ola. But again, that was kind of expected in those days, when you produced 20+...

    Yup; must have been part of the many extended hours of fillers that seemed nothing like Trek that I dozed off for a few... Thank you for clarifying. So Balter is not a bad guy?

    Star Trek: Picard

    It ends up with the time travel saving the day... Back to where we were in the first 10 minutes only it's all better now. And we got to learn about Picard's troubled youth, his abusive father, his tortured mother, we found out 7 of 9 is a lesbo, Q is gay for Picard, undocumented immigrants are...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Torrid; I feel your wrath... This series (like so many these days) was fucking PAINFUL to get through. I had to do it with breaks. Each with the every-dying hope that it would get better. I've put up with a lot for my half-century love of Trek... Just when I was thinking that we are in Trek's...

    Stray - get your pussy on (PS4,5 and Windoze)

    I finished it-- a very cool game and concept. There was only one irritating level/scene (the elevator!). It was fun as heck playing as a cat. It took me about 4 hours and (I realize now) I talked to WAY too many characters/robots... It's a charming and chill game.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Pretty sure F-Troop (which was clever and funny) is banned from even the cheapo, over-the-air TV networks like Comet, etc.

    Evil

    I just finished season 2. I love that the show is going off the rails. LOVE IT! More crazy demons and wacko characters popping in out of nowhere and interacting with the cast. Will start season 3 soon. I still think the show's acting, cinematography, music and episodic nature is superb.

    Ms. Marvel

    Okay-- I watched it (up until episode 6) in a binge fashion (mostly on the treadmill). The lead is charming and, I think, a perfect newcomer for a superhero genre. Nice not to see another same-face playing all the leads (eg., Chris Pratt/Hemsworth...). The side characters make the show. The...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I recall doing much the same with TNG; waiting for each episode and then discussing them with friends. At that point in time there were two distinct things about TNG; 1) it really was the ONLY major TV sci-fi offering in its time. and 2) It had a pre-existing loyal fan-base that did not know...

    For All Mankind

    Guys; I tried the first episode of this show and I had to drink caffeine to get through it. The pace is about as fast as growing potatoes on Mars. How did anyone get through season 1? Let alone get to episode 2?

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    TNG, if you recall, had a sketchy first season. And as for testosterone content, I think SNW has more than TNG ever had right out of the gate. Pike has already had 3 girlfriends in 10 episodes.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    It was good-- much more of a true homage than the previous episode was to Alien(s)/Predator. Too bad they couldn't really forge the bond the Kirk/Romulan captain had in the original. And TOS Kirk was way ballsier than he was in this incarnation of him. Didn't love the Kirk-- too skinny, too Jim...

    Clerks III

    I imagined sitting through 80 or 90 minutes of that trailer and that would be a hard ask. I love KS and Clerks. But this looks baaaaaad. PS- Dogma was high-level genius.

    Stranger Things

    Wow-- that was an endurance event. Other than the Vecna battle, that was a long snooze-fest... What was the point of the entire season, exactly? Oh, I get it; to have Season 5. Since nothing really was resolved or explained (in any sensible way) anyhow. Please no more Russia plot.
