Warner Bros. Discovery expects to launch its combined HBO Max/Discovery+ streaming service in the U.S. next summer.
JB Perrette, CEO and President, Global Streaming and Interactive at WBD, revealed the news on the company’s earnings call Thursday.
“Our primary focus for the rollout will be in the markets where HBO Max has already launched,” he said. “We plan to launch the service sequentially starting in the U.S. next summer. Latin America will follow later in the year. European markets with HBO Max will follow in early ‘24, with additional launches and key Asia Pacific territories and some new European markets coming later in 2024.”
Perrette pointed to HBO Max being more about appointment viewing with shows such as Succession and upcoming series House of the Dragon, while Discovery+ is more about “comfort viewing”, which drives subscriber retention.RIP HBO Max (and maybe HBO) (at least the name)
“These are two critical and powerful components of a strong and sustainable subscription business,” he added. “Coupled with our world-class collection of globally recognized brands franchises and characters, it is truly an unprecedented combination in an already crowded market.”

Bad so far
I guess Netflix thought the audience wouldn't give a shit unless you were hit over the head with all the fantasy stuff right away over a fucking opening monologue instead of being gradually introduced like in the comic, filling the reader with a sense of wonder and curiosity as they discover elements about the dream world organically and unravel the mystery of who the imprisoned figure is
Nope I'm the Lord of Dreams here look at all the cool shit coming please don't click the back button please ok that's me in the mansion in the scene you haven't seen yet, I'm the guy in the helmet, now back to the story

It's fine
Not GOOD, but fine. There's enough still there from the source that I'll keep watching. Just feels kind of bland and smoothed out in that Netflix way. But I guess in terms of visuals this is the best you could hope for

Watched the 10 available episodes of Players, the new show of the American Vandals creators. It's great, but I feel at one point they forgot the satire and got too invested in the e-sports drama.
By Daz Go To PostGreat scene that, 10/10 knockers.
Catching up on Rick and Morty, this episode was such a treat with mind fuck writing. Throughly enjoyed this episode with some real LOL moments. One of my favorite episodes in the series, def top 10 for me. I love how they handle timeline, multi-verse and clones decoys concept.
By Laboured Go To PostGenius!
Four episodes into The Boys, really enjoying it. Hope you get to see what happened to the other members of Payback, and see what Supersonic's power was supposed to be
It's weird how Maeve is barely in it when her position and superpowers should give her one of the most prominent roles

Fuck knows. Think she's basically a fighting expert and can take heavy blows, but she's not bulletproof or anything afaik. I assume she's more powerful than she's been shown as since she's been in the Seven for ages. Can't remember how she fared in the fight against Stormfront

Also clear that the writers have now idea how to powerscale, even a little.
In an upcoming podcast talking to The Hollywood Reporter‘s Kim Masters, the filmmaker echoed the anecdote, phrased slightly differently: “About four, five years ago they asked if I would be interested in it… So I said, ‘Have you got the scripts yet?’ Because I know how hard the scripts were to write for the films and I didn’t know the people writing their scripts. They said, ‘Oh no, we haven’t got the scripts yet, but as soon as we do, we’ll send you the scripts.’ So I was waiting for the scripts to arrive and they never did.”
Amazon responded to Jackson’s comments with the following statement: “In pursuing the rights for our show, we were obligated to keep the series distinct and separate from the films. We have the utmost respect for Peter Jackson and The Lord of The Rings films and are thrilled that he is looking forward to the watching The Rings of Power.”Uh-oh:
Perhaps even more crucially, sources suggest author J.R.R. Tolkien’s estate was against having Jackson on board. This shouldn’t be surprising as the estate had no involvement with his films and Christopher Tolkien has previously slammed the trilogy in the press as “eviscerating” his father’s books, claiming they turned his novels into action movies for young people that lack “beauty and seriousness.”

But finding the chicken or egg thing credible in a system that categorizes people when they breathe and blink doesn't mean I'm rejecting generalized gender descrepencies entirely. I may have implied that
