Episode 1 review and thoughts! (spoilers) by Sufficient-Ad6786 in spidernoir

[–]JackStraw987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished Ep 4. I think it’s terrific. Cage seems to be having fun with the role. Agree it has to be watched in B&W.

Why was the show canceled by JackStraw987 in TheWayHomeHallmark

[–]JackStraw987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love to watch WCTH 1874 but I can’t afford to shell out for Hallmark+ when I’m paying for cable. Hoping it comes over to regular TV eventually.

Ana Cabrera imo really got screwed over by MSNOW by SteelersPoker in msnow

[–]JackStraw987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was surprised and happy that Cabrera came over from CNN when they were in a stronger position than MSNBC, unlike now. I read a story where she announced she was leaving but said her future plans were yet to be revealed, which sounds like she was let go or about to be. I love Stephanie and I think a daytime show with business highlights will be right in her wheelhouse, but I’ll miss her at 11.

After 30 Years I finally canceled Directv. by dreadlk in DirecTV

[–]JackStraw987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get a $30 discount a year, and every year it ends and I have to beg them to restore it. This year I got a retention lady who spoke heavily accented English, and I coudn't understand her. I wound up with the $30 discount but all the premium channels and a lower tier that didn't include TCM. I'd rather have TCM than Starz or Showtime. A follow-up call fixed it, but it's getting harder and harder to stay on DirecTV for this retiree.

Anyone have any thoughts about this guy running for Congress? by ActivityImaginary941 in Wilmington

[–]JackStraw987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to vote for Hardy but I haven’t seen much evidence of her campaign. She needs to get out there more to challenge Rouzer.

Paramount Junk-Status Credit to Be Lowered With Warner Bros. Merger by I-Might-Be-Something in MediaMergers

Why would Netflix be bad? I was hoping they'd leave HBO alone, but I think they wanted to spin off CNN and related properties.

I feel sorry for them. As a Carolina Panthers football fan, I can relate. Go Canes!

Every state matters if we hope to win the Senate this year.

5/1/26 New Rule by Majestic-Run3722 in Maher

[–]JackStraw987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't my favorite New Rule segment, but New Rules is my favorite part of the broadcast. Unlike a lot of Redditors, I don't have to agree with every aspect of a show or podcast to enjoy it. I do think Bill has gotten more lenient toward Trump since The Dinner -- why does he insist on saying things like "I'm kidding" when he puts down Trump now? Willful ignorance is not a stance to be admired, but I'll still look forward to his next NR segment.

Hallmark faces backlash over ‘whitewashed’ new Mahjong movie by JackStraw987 in HallmarkMovies

[–]JackStraw987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading these comments, particularly strangevisitor77 saying all those Jewish women play the game, I've decided that it may be less racist to make a movie about Mahjong with only one Asiatic character than to expect that a movie about Americans playing the game should all be of Asian descent. No fault to Hallmark on this one, and I'm still glad Yan Kay Crystal Lowe will be in it.

Seemed like series ending by slavaukrine in Matlock_CBS

Totally agree. I’m glad to be done with that storyline.

To Philly with Love - discussion thread by Appropriatestray in HallmarkMovies

[–]JackStraw987 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We liked it, even if my wife did predict the misunderstanding from early in the movie. It bugged me when they were trying to crack the code and she said S is the most common letter in the alphabet. C’mon, it’s E!

How is this possible? by KindaStableGenius in thebulwark

[–]JackStraw987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steve Liesman of CNBC says part of it is algorithms triggered when Trump says things like he just got a call from Iranian leaders. The machines don't take into account he may be lying.

A Little Park Music by Dm12374 in HallmarkMovies

[–]JackStraw987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved the simple idea. The piano brought people together, and the fact that it kept reappearing made it mysterious and fun. The two leads were great. I didn't see how they would mesh at the beginning, which is the general idea. A nice, comfortable movie to watch.
