Movie Thread

[Le Redditeur]

It's just a pain in the ass to figure out where a certain movie is streamed this particular month.

[Lindsay's Liver]

I stream with a Roku and it has a search engine on the home screen that tells where anything is (officially) streaming. I like it.

I had access to Fagflix once via the family account of a friend. Trailer Park Boys was the only thing worth watching.
I've since got the complete DVD box set for cheap on eBay and haven't bothered since.
I was absolutely baffled by the atrocious selection of movies and shows on the supposedly most successful and biggest streaming service. Think of any cult classic and there's a 9 in 10 chance it's not on there. It truly is the direct to DVD for shit that's not even worth keeping available forever.

I haven't checked it out since 2019, but I remember it being mostly generic midbudget shit like Michael Bay's Six Underground and a bunch of mediocre foreign tv shows nobody wants to watch. There was also a lot of lesbian softcore.

The old Netflix where they sent you DVDs in the mail had a better selection.

Could be mandatory. Canada and other shithole countries have a thing where they try to force baka gaijin entertainment companies to promote their native shit, either by putting at least some of that shit on their portfolio or by investing.
Must be awkward if you're primarily an animu publisher.

Ozark's pretty good, anyways.

There used to be a much bigger selection on Kikeflix. This was before all the film studios caught on to streaming and realised they could probably make a lot of money with their own streaming services, so they basically gutted Kikeflix and left them with mostly shit. Then Soros and Obama came in to fill the void with their garbage woke Netlifx originals.

While that's true, I had access to it four or five years ago when the studios were all just starting to get into the streaming game. I guess Netflix was already in decline but still supremely popular and praised.

I realize that I'm not and have never been their target audience but they neither had big blockbusters I'd have expected, nor older ones, nor many of the true classics.
No Western movies at all, nothing by big name directors, no well-known cult classics and especially no actual B-movie stuff that'd be easy to get licensing for.
It was like the worst video store ever.

Yes, they had original stuff but that's all profound trash with less soul and identity than a Chinese smartphone.

The only (decent) shit the streaming services do have are old tv shows, and not always all of them.

[ebin namefag]

Those Free TV boomer channels that only show up when you don't have cable are better for oldshit TV than stramming. They're nominally free and more than likely have a better selection.

[Moe Bitches]

True. Comet, MeTV, Folk TV, H&I Cozi TV and all those other channels are great for pre 90's shows (with the exception of shows like Saved by the Bell, 21 Jumpstreet, Monk and for some reason the Office).

[ebin namefag]

The Office and Frerfs are background noise for normalfags and women. Office reruns are their version of watching the same Spoony videos from 15 years ago over and over again.
