Sometime in late June, my Disney+ sub is going to run out, and I’ll likely renew, but not before finally cashing in my netflix gift card and trying that service out for awhile.
I’m kinda… not looking forward to that. I still have a bunch of stuff I need to watch on Disney+, including the Bambi movies, and a few remaining other films. And of course random eps of Lab Rats or whatever.
I’m going to divide the other stuff, like the Tangled series, into seasons. Like I finished with the first season, and I’ll start the second after I renew, whenever that is.
Here’s hoping the second and third season there are as good as the first. It’s unfortunately a roll of the dice these days; I like Rapunzel as a character, and don’t want to see her veer into some kind of… weird Star Wars esque heroine, like… I don’t know, the new ones, the Disney ones. I can’t remember their names.
I’m doing the same with the other really good shows on the service, like Kim Possible. I’m stopping after the second season, there. More to savor, later.
I’m still not considering anything Star Wars related, and anything modern Marvel is still just a no-go, right now. I was thinking about the new Hawkeye series, since so short, and I like Hailee, but still… IDK, I’d rather watch Bambi, frankly.
Uhm… well, there it is. Not so sure about Netflix, as a service. IDK what their back catalogs look like, but… the originals do not seem to be my thing. It looks like a lot of cringe, or a lot of stuff that might be a chore to watch, and the only reason for me to do so would be to investigate stuff about… IDK, me, I guess.
Tho I suppose there is likely to be some gems lying around. I’m not sure what they have, really. It might be another adventure, there. I’ll need to withhold a final judgement for now.
Whatever is there, tho, it’s likely to be quite a bit less cringe than the news shit, lol. Although I must say that I do get a kick out of how stupid that stuff is.
I still watch that stuff out of the corner of my eye during dinner, every weekday. I see it as a way of venturing outside my little cultural box I suppose.
Is it just me, or is that stuff actually getting dumber? I don’t know. Maybe not, since I don’t follow it. But I do think it noteworthy that the other day I actually surprised myself by laughing out loud at how stupid and preposterous the content was, which is not something I have done in the past, or at least recently.
They’ve been going on a lot lately about Trump shit, which I’ve been tuning out; I’ve no idea what any of that stuff is. Too boring/irrelevant. I remember seeing at lunch a bunch of police officers huddled in some room during an MSNBC broadcast. IDK why, something Trump related apparently. No idea. I didn’t laugh at that tho, too boring.
I did laugh at some segment about some Southern congress thing, where two southern black congresspeople were kicked out of some congress for gun control something something. Then they came back for some reason, IDK why. But during all of this nonsense some MSNBC anchor showed some grainy footage of one of them entering the building, climbing up some stairs where a bunch of white police officers were just kinda standing around on guard, like some scene out of those old videos about the school integrations that they used to show in public schools.
It just looked so… hokey, so fake, so… ridiculous, like something out of a 70’s SNL skit about Southern life, that I literally could not stop myself from laughing. I actually hate to do this, since it makes my boomer parents feel bad, but I legit could not stop myself, lol.
I think at least part of the funny here involved the congressperson’s hilariously stupid hairstyle, which was some ridiculous afro-like thing that has not been seen in any real world situation since the early 80’s. The “news” also featured some “We-shall-overcome” gospel singing stuff, stuff that was apparently recorded in present year, like in 2023, literally. Like… what?
Whatever this nonsense is, it looks like a scripted play designed to push the buttons of boomer liberals. It’s just so… impossible, all of it, that I can’t watch anything on the news anymore without getting some vicious cultural dissonance, and it’s hard to know what to do with feelings like that. Should I laugh? Just sit, confused? Walk out of the room?
I don’t want to do any of those, really, since I would prefer not to make my parents feel bad, but still, it’s a weird ass feeling to deal with, and it’s happening literally every day now.
But… whatever. The commercials are still just… commercials. Dumb as shit, etc. MSNBC has been playing a ton of commercials lately for some new movie about some “important” “historical” black person in the 1700’s or something who was “forgotten about by history” (i.e. never existed in the first place), I guess because they want to rope in the liberal boomers for an audience. IDK, I’m not going to watch it anyways.
I’m hoping that this isn’t what Netflix content is going to be, since that is what I’ve been hearing it is on the internet. A lot of woke, with all of it being very very same-y, and thus also boring and predictable. And the new stuff is all Gen Z oriented, etc. But I’ll wait and see, first.
*Shrug*.
IDK, it’s all just TV crap, anyways.
Whatever.
LOL
