They could all still have their own deals on new stuff (maybe an ‘exclusive’ 12 months on a certain platform for new releases), but once the 12 months is up - they can be on any paid platform. No wonder people, go sailing on the high seas. Music is the same. Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift are both missing from some platforms. I feel I have said too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Tarantino movies in order, not one of the words removed had Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown. luckily, Pulp Fiction was on Sony Movies last week, so watched it on there (albeit in poverty standard definition). I pay out over £100 per month and the words removed want £2.50 to rent a film that came out 23 years ago. Did you see my moan about Amazon/BFI a couple of pages back? My BFI subscription was purchased via Amazon, and it would seem the bastards are filtering out BFI films that Prime also have, so I'd have to pay again for rental. I'm going to cancel my subscription and buy another one directly from BFI this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s some kind of error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll only get worse as more steaming platforms open up.. we've had Apple and Disney this year and i'm sure there will be more. You'll need 10 subscriptions soon to watch everything decent that comes out. Luckily with music, 99% of stuff is on most platforms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Talking of streaming, I was watching an Inspector Morse on Britbox last night and was enjoying it and all of a sudden there was a huge jump in the storyline. He'd gone from chatting to Lewis one second to another scene in another. I looked up the details online afterwards and most Morse episodes are around 100-103 mins long. This one was 92 mins. Seemingly 10 mins from the middle had disappeared. Britbox must have though... ahh **** it, we've got 90% of the it, lets upload it. I needed to channel my inner Morse to work out what happened in the middle! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual culprits are at it again (small group of neighbours having a little party on their driveway). Couple of middle aged women can’t catch their breath for laughing so hard, constantly.

I dunno if it makes me an old fuddyduddy or even a bit racist but I find it really grating. They always seem to have a couple of young lads on Football Focus or one of the MOTD programmes that speak like it. A lot of the teens of today seem to talk like it. I hear it in the local shop and wonder where the **** they picked the accent up from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just me There’s a street by me that did a bit of a disco one afternoon and a game of bingo (someone in the street is a DJ and had all the kit), people thought it was a laugh. Then they did it the next Sunday. And the BH, and every one of the last few Sundays gradually getting later and later. I‘d be well pissed off if I had that shit going on in my street every Sunday till 8 and 9pm. People have little kids to get in bed, do their own thing and because about half a dozen people can’t going without wine and sweet Caroline it happens every week now.

Xela Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Talking of selfish, this was Durdle Door beach today in Dorset. Due to a few incidents (people jumping off the cliffs into the sea) the air ambulance was out a few times. Look at the people crammed together on the way off the beach. Locals said there were more people there today than at any point in recent memory. People just don't care anymore, and can you blame them after the way the Government acts.

One of the reasons my folks moved house was due to selfish neighbours. Every summer weekend they'd be out in garden with their pals drinking and singing and screeching until the early hours. No regard for their neighbours, some of who had kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
