Re: Charlie Brown Specials

A lot of people seem to blame Apple for this, but the truth is whoever is in charge of Peanuts didn't make this deal just because they really like their iPhone. Any of the networks or their parent companies could have ponied up the money for the rights to keep this on network tv. They obviously didn...

Re: New Disney Streaming Service: Disney+

I feel much better about Loki s2e1-4 after seeing e5-6. I even told my wife that there was no way they could wrap the story up well with one episode left and I absolutely eat my words.

Re: Why does the Wilhelm Scream keep bothering me?

As an experiment, I plugged GeffreyDrogon's original comment into ChatGPT as a question, and the block of text I posted was its answer. Sure enough, almost the entirety of “lisamartin’s”comment is in the AI's response as well.

Re: Samurai Jack: The Birth of Evil (2003)

A good show was Samurai Jack that I used to watch as a child. I'm inquisitive about its watchability on the World Wide Web.

It sounds like you have a strong reaction to certain sound effects, such as the Wilhelm Scream, that can take you out of the movie-watching experience. While it's not uncommon to have preferences or sensitivities that affect your enjoyment of media, there are a few strategies you can try to help you...
