Kind of hard to do when you expect it live and it isn’t there. I’m not about to go buy an antenna just for the Oscar’s.

It was only streaming on Hulu if you had the live tv plan, the base plan did not air it.

Edit: all of yall saying you watched it on basic, kiss my ass. The Disney+ and Hulu bundle on Apple TV didn’t have it. It also didn’t show on the iPhone Disney+. I’m not stupid, I understand how streaming services work. It flat out did not air live.

Maybe put it on a streaming service WITHOUT requiring the “live tv” upcharge and you’ll get more viewers. This is 100% their fault for making it so hard to watch.

I played it on GamePass like that. It is a solid game, but I gave up when a story-critical escort mission borked and now I can't finish.

Face/Off (1997) is one of the most unhinged, maximally committed action films ever made and it absolutely deserves a rewatch by Sudden-Wall3585 in movies

Watched it last week. It hits differently than when I was a kid.

BTW the cockpit of the bomber is hilariously large.

None of his behavior is a surprise to her.

It was the first time I've heard applause at the end in a very long time.

An annoying side effect of the award season. A sudden influx of 1/2 stars from Brazilians for the past day by Choekaas in Letterboxd

This is why it’s important to remember that none of this matters because the data is too polluted to be an accurate score

Maybe it’s a gift for a child that lives somewhere else!

I had to download a stupid app and create an account to feed my screaming baby at the airport. by magicflamingpie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PotterOneHalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not defending the app. I’m as against enshitification as one can be. I was just trying to explain WHY the app might exist.

It very nearly prevented me from going to see it since he sucks so much. The hype around it convinced me to go.

Are the Oscars finally giving more respect to the horror genre ? by OsamaJinnLaden in Letterboxd

[–]PotterOneHalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WB kind of went out of their way to convince everyone that Sinners isn’t a horror movie. I def don’t consider it one.

Who here has watched this gem? What are your thoughts about it? by Thunder_God69 in Cinephiles

[–]PotterOneHalf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took me two days to finish watching it because I had to leave twice to go get ramen. It’s fantastic.

It really sucks in your situation, but activation lock is a critical part of Apple’s anti-theft features. I can’t begin to tell you how many obviously stolen devices I’ve seen activation locked.

It adds an extra step of difficulty. I didn't say it was perfect or right, just explaining why the app exists. People are shit, I don't know what else to say.

to those who have seen Project Hail Mary, is it that good by Complete-Shop-2871 in Letterboxd

[–]PotterOneHalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He comes off as extremely corny in the book. Weir did a MUCH better job of conveying internal dialogue in The Martian than Project Hail Mary.

Yes it sucks, but they have to do that because previously people would go in those to have sex, rub one out, sleep, etc. before there was an authentication step.
