I'm talking strictly from a mechanical perspective, not a content perspective. HBO Max - why do they not have an algorithmic recommendation system? I watch Last Week Tonight every week. If an episode came out last night, why is it not literally the first thing I see when I log in? Hell, it's not even on the front page, I have to search for it. It bugs the shit out of me every time. Amazon - I love "x-ray." I get really distracted by thoughts of "where in the shit do I know that actor from?" all the time. On Amazon, all you have to do is pause the show/movie and it literally has who that actor is and their IMDB credits right there. Everyone should do that. All platforms - Why in the shit is there no option, on any platform, to at least have the option of hiding things that I've already seen before while I'm browsing? In what way does it help engagement to flash 50 things at me that I've already watched before I find something I haven't? YouTube figured this out a long time ago. It won't recommend videos to you that you've already seen unless it's been a long time since the last time you watched it. And if you have already seen a video, it'll have that little red bar at the bottom that shows you that you've seen it. All of these streaming services are tracking what you watch all the time, it shouldn't be hard to implement a feature where I can also choose what to do with that information.

Not to delve too deep here, because that's coke territory. I'm not here to deride the sjw movement, which is an inclusive club where opportunities matter. But I ask myself often what these opportunities mean. There's a running theme in the theory that a realized character occupies both spectrums of protagonist and antagonist (mostly erring on the antagonist). Beyond dull storytelling, It's give a sense of false hope that the imperfections of a person are needing of an ironing like a wrinkled shirt. Every individual is a deeper well than any ocean, but that's not a concern for fiction, rather that logic and reasoning is the end-all solution to everything. Somehow echoing the same tragedy that befell the antagonist in the first place will be enough meditation to see the errors of their ways. This is one among many sticking points for consumers of what are ostentatious children's media (my little pony?) drive like an axiom as a matter of convenience. But this is serious pathos for some.This dichotomy in relative justice is supposed to drive a child into question. To see adults swallow such cheap pablum is concerting to me. We live in a fresh hell. Asking to an easy out is just to let god sort them out.

Bruce Willis diagnosed with aphasia, stepping away from acting PAGESIX.COM The "Die Hard" star will be "stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him," his family announced in a statement to social media Wednesday.

There had been rumours that Willis had something like this after Red Letter Media videos regarding his more limited roles, recently (where it also seemed like he was being fed lines). Basically, Aphasia is where damage to the brain degrades your ability to understand and communicate through language.

Amazon Said to Make $9 Billion Offer for MGM VARIETY.COM The ecommerce giant has been in talks to acquire the legendary studio and its library for several weeks. $9b doesn't seem to be that much.

Netflix Will Prompt Subscribers to Pay for Users Outside Their Households in New Test to Address Unauthorized Password Sharing (EXCLUSIVE) VARIETY.COM Netflix will soon kick off a test letting primary account holders pay an additional fee for users outside their households. If I remember something correctly it was previously shared on here that they were considering it. Looks like something they will start rolling out in the near future. Won’t affect me but I haven’t been feeling Netflix that much in recent years. I’ve been getting into Tubi recently and I find their selection more fun, especially for horror and schlock. And it’s free. It reminds me of browsing Blockbuster back in the day, with the mixture of good, bad, and the wtf.
