My shit ships out of a DC within 2 days. Then proceeds to take a week to get delivered.

I don't ever associate Amazon Prime with their tv service outside of Shudder which I love.

Prime delivery has been delivering here <1 day lately. Now if I could just get the city to pick up my recycling with any sort of predictable cadence. Wife will order one tiny eye shadow and it'll show up in 24″ x 24″ x 12″ box loaded with packing material. That shit piles up quick.

The only thing Prime Video is good for these days is if you wanna watch an old 70's/80's B-movie.

Eh, I don't know. I absolutely love Bosch. Marvelous Mrs Maisel I expected to hate, but can't get enough of it. The Boys is good (even though I've only seen S1. Sneaky Pete is worth the watch.

There is some good stuff on there. Along with a ton of shit, but yeah, Netflix is similar these days.

I guess Amazon is getting into big budget original movies now.

Those are the Daves I know, I know...

I think what Netflix has going for it is that I can tell if something is shit in one click. These other interfaces I have to drill into to get enough detail to know if its shit, making me even more annoyed and more likely to miss good stuff because I've put them on the back burner.

This is a good reminder though to get back in there and wade through the mud on some of these other platforms.

If you're looking for Prime content, check out Loudermilk.

Watched Robot Jox a few weeks back. Did not age well? lol

Also, Cooties is a fun riff on zombie movies and available on Prime. Found it after turning off Army of Darkness and figured it couldn't be any worse. lol

I liked the recent Tom Clancey movie with Michael Jordan. Chris Pratt has a original movie coming out this July on Prime.

TV series is thin but I liked Fleabag and Marvelous Ms. Maisel. And the Jack Ryan series.

They spent $1 billion to redo the lord of the rings as a TV series
Spent $1 billion for the NFL
$8.5 billion to get MGM’s catalog

They have the deep pockets to be players in the steaming market.

Watched the first episode.

Ron Livingston is a national treasure. :-)
[Reply]

My wife and I were at a fight at Caesars in Vegas a few years back and before I ran into Cuba Gooding, Jr and drank with him for a few hours, I ran into Ron Livingston.

Ron's been in a so many good things, from Office Space to Band of Brothers to Swingers and so on that I didn't even know where to begin, so I didn't. Instead, we just had a few drinks, chatted a bit and I left him with "Dude, I really enjoy your work. Have a great night!".

He was just as cool and real you'd expect.

Cuba, on the other hand...
[Reply]

Cuba seems wound pretty tight. I still enjoy a lot of stuff he's in.

Good to know Ron Livingston is a decent human. I've managed to separate the two in my head, but the more good people on the planet the better.

Binged all of this.

Let me preface this. I don't normally do comedies. Most of them just don't do a ton for me. The ones I've done have managed to get me invested quickly. Which this one did. And frankly I'm not sure why. I don't have addiction issues, I have never been in any aspect of recovery, but I am open to being an asshole, I suppose. :-)

There was some dumb shit in there I rolled my eyes at and jokes that fell flat for me, but the overall story kept me in and had me rooting for Loudermilk and the kid at least. And there were enough compelling moments in there to keep me in it. Plus some stuff that was legitimately funny and kept me coming back.

Really good watch. Thanks for the heads up.
