Not much at all today. Would have been a great time to put some classic shorts or disneyland episodes on as filler.

Of course not.

Meanwhile I got stung by my £80 sub being taken out when previously they had indicated it would be August…!

In addition to the recent Encanto option, Disney+ plans to release Sing-Along versions to more titles including the Frozen films and Beauty and the Beast, animated/live-action respectively. Fun. ;)

Hey! Keep that film's name…out your effing mouth! :lol:

(Sigh)…yet another week full of new stuff, and still not much to watch. Though I suppose I do have a backlog of series that I didn’t get to yet.

But also on our DVR drive I’ve been "taping" that series of Friday night TPTV schlock fests, so have a plethora ("do you know what a plethora is?" :lol:) of mostly inane B-movies…that I find more fascinating than wanting to get to the latest Star Wars and Marvels! :lol: Last few nights, I’ve been whizzing through a bunch (Scream And Scream Again, Burnt Offerings — actually quite good and a surprisingly clear influence on The Shining), and last night Gog, which is pretty terrible. And shot in "the 3rD dimension"? Nothing even happens in this movie, apart from a lot of talking mostly all on one set, so where was the 3D used!? Pretty risible "sci-fi", even for the time and genre!

Back to D+, though, and I do recommend A Monster Calls, as I’ve previously mentioned on the Forum, for many reasons. Just such an unexpected and touching "little" movie.

Another week with not much to watch. Most of the stuff today is sports docs and don't care about sports. Hate to be a broken record but they could have thrown in a classic short as well.

Still at least they are getting stuff. Boomerang steaming service has not had anything new in over a year!

That chauffeur though..! For me, the entire movie is the ending! One of the creepiest ever. Loved Bette Davis in this.

Of course, Bette and the chauffeur were also both "renegades" from Return To Witch Mountain! I did see the ending coming right from the start, though…pretty obvious when one is such a fan of The Shining…! ;)

I've seen ESPN has been joining National Geographic in its takeover of Disney's own territory, and if that "Four Days in October" is the same 30 For 30 ESPN documentary I'm thinking of in that little bundle of vintage classics, DANG, it's good:

Another Red Sox vs. Yankees '04 documentary, but this one skipping over the usual "Fan love rewarded" tropes and focusing on just the sports events of the last four World Series games...And, as Spike Lee said before game 6, you couldn't write drama like this.
Now, all they have to do is bring in "June 17, 1994", and we'd have two of the greatest ESPN sports documentaries ever made.

ESPN is really good at documentaries. I end up watching some for sports I don't even like! You're right, that June 17, 1994 was really well done.

Got curious so I logged into D+. There are several 30 For 30 docs listed in the new section. Which is kind of weird since they don't fit under any of the 4 sub-brands. Where are these going to live once they move on the front page? Are they going to add an ESPN tab eventually? To be honest, I might actually watch more ESPN content if it were on Disney+. I have ESPN+, but the only time I ever think to launch that is when I'm about to watch a specific sporting event. I always forget about it when I'm looking for general programming to watch.

I normally wouldn't watch any ESPN On Demand unless it was a live event, but I watched the first wave of ESPN 30 For 30 docs when they were on Netflix in the early 10s, and they're mostly pretty good documentaries for the doc fan over the sports fan--
"Silly Little Game", also on the list, is a little too "clever", but it's a fun look at the origins and geek-cult for Fantasy Baseball Leagues.

I actually almost tear up at the dramatic irony of the Talking Heads song on the soundtrack at the end ("Where nothing ever happens..."), as we see the day's other events that were ultimately being ignored for Bronco-mania... :cry:

Now, we also need "Catching Hell", about the search for Steve Bartman, the idiot fan who tried catching the Cubs' game-winning ball, and had to go into hiding as the most-hated scapegoat for Chicago's sports troubles.

(And given that 2004's "Miracle" was so much more intelligently and realistically done than Disney's usual corny inspirational-coach movies, I always wondered whether that one may have started out as an ESPN made-for-TV movie script before being studio upgraded.)
