  1. So sad the pain the Brown family and Nicole’s friends suffered with her murder and the ensuing circus. They at least helped advanced the understanding of domestic violence. Really sad for the kids having to deal with all that crap and living with their father in Florida when he was probably doing drugs
  2. Yes 8 plus the upcoming Christmas special
  3. I watched the last part back again and it does seem Mitch and Ted’s apparent aim was to get people to buy the stock as a way to enrich the company or themselves really. I guess that may be why they made so much noise and did so many interviews claiming a lot of nonsense and seeming to use the company for their own little piggy bank while letting the losses run amuck. If they had just raised the customer fee to a reasonable amount, they probably could have gone in the black, at least if they were honestly aiming for that. So not only did they settle with the FTC for defrauding the customers, but they also got indicted by the DOJ for defrauding investors and are awaiting trial
  4. I finished it and what a mess of a business, no matter who was in charge. The original founders tried but couldn’t make a go without more money and I’m not sure things would have gone smoothly if they had gone ahead. The new guys in charge spent money like crazy instead of getting the finances under control first and Mitch and Ted ended up settling with the FTC for stuff they did with the business. No wonder the business folded
  5. I’ve watched the first 30 minutes so far and it seems to me that so far, no one is a good planner because they keep doing stuff without really having a plan first. Did they even talk to AMC Theaters first and get them on board before barreling ahead with using the app at AMC Theaters? It just seems like they keep getting in their own way, including not capping subscriptions so they could have a chance to scale up. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll see more nonsense as I watch more I have been aware of MoviePass for a few years and it seems like a generally good idea for those who love the movie theater experience. I had no desire to take part as I generally stopped going to the theaters in the last decade or two as I’ve gotten older and as DVDs and streaming have made it possible to just wait for a bit and watch movies in the comfort of your own home. I was kind of amazed that they had a few million subscribers but some really want a move-going experience. But I can’t really imagine patrons end up saving very much if they also get theater food and snacks, which is where the theaters really get you
  6. If you watch again, you'll hopefully notice the various microaggressions against the Doctor by Lindy and the others. If you weren't paying enough attention or weren't already primed to see it (if you were a Black viewer for instance), you might think "that was a weird comment" or "oh, major anti-outsider view there". The ending only cemented it. Some examples: 1) Note that the Doctor had tried other people before but got blocked and Lindy ended up ultimately blocking him as well, but didn't immediately block Ruby and even listened to her for awhile; 2) when the Doctor removed his block, Lindy at one point indicated not recognizing him as the guy who contacted her before because "they all look alike"; 3) Lindy got upset when she realized the Doctor and Ruby were actually in the same room and told them they were criminals, etc. At the end, they made it pretty clear they weren't going to go with the Doctor because of the way he looks
  7. Notice Lindy's dot had to take multiple tries before it managed to kill someone (Ricky). I think the dots were likely quite a bit inefficient in directly killing anyone so they used the Hug Slugs, who also tidied up. The plan also allowed the Dots to keep the residents focused on their bubbles and not realize what was going on
  8. Overnights: 2.12 million viewers, 2nd for the night behind “The Wheel”
  9. Executive producer says the docuseries was 10 years in the making https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/the-life-and-murder-of-nicole-brown-simpson-doc-revelations-1235912929/
  10. My initial guess is he got disappeared by the spirits as punishment for breaking the circle. But I’ve seen a good theory that his disappearance was related to Ruby reading the scroll that read “I miss you”, so he went away and she missed him and was unable to get help from him as part of her punishment for reading the scrolls
  11. I’m about 1 1/2 hours in on Part 1. Definitely heartbreaking. Nicole finally got out of the marriage but OJ stalked her
  12. First look images https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/doctorwho-rogues1e6-flpics
  13. Hulu documentary that premieres June 24 2024 On August 15th, 1981, a large, excited crowd gathered at the plaza of Lincoln Center in Manhattan for the Out-of-Doors Festival. The highlight of the event was a breaking battle between the Rocksteady Crew and the Dynamic Rockers. What unfolded would prove to be a seminal moment in American culture, a showdown that has reverberated for decades across hip-hop, dance, race, and politics.
  14. Hulu 3-part documentary that premieres June 20 2024 Keith and Sherri Papini’s seemingly idyllic family life is shattered when Sherri vanishes from their northern California neighborhood, triggering a frenzied search that becomes news around the world. With unprecedented access to Sherri’s family and friends – as well as the investigators who struggled for six years to solve the mystery of her disappearance – this limited documentary series intimately explores the jaw-dropping revelations of a relationship that wasn’t what it seemed.
  15. I hadn't considered that. Good thinking. I was kind of thinking we had seen one of those gunman before but maybe not working for Sonny
  16. Streams June 4 as a double premiere with episode 1 Synopsis: As the team stumbles in the opening round of the playoffs against the Warriors, Doc schools them in how to insulate their game from distractions.

  17. Season premiere. Streams June 4 2024. Double premiere with second episode Synopsis: Doc fights chemistry problems created by Donald's favoritism and harassment. The fragile love triangle between Donald, Shelly and V. combusts when V. refuses to stay out of sight. And attendance is mandatory at the tackiest white party in Labor Day history.

  19. Sonny has gone totally around the bend ordering a hit on Jason Laura already knew she was treading choppy waters in regards to Heather. I believe her deputy mayor already pointed the issues out to her. I can understand why she's doing it, but given Heather's crimes, she needed to be much more careful than she has been
  20. Documentary on Netflix premiering June 6. Basketball legend Sue Bird's final year in the WNBA
  21. That was weird but enjoyable and very dark at the same time. Lindy setting up Ricky to be killed by the dot in order to escape, then the whole bunch rejecting help from the Doctor because he wasn’t like them, ouch. The visuals were quite striking and the performances from the guest stars, especially the Lindy and Ricky actors, were pretty good. I give it a 7 out of 10 though I could still bump it up a point
  22. Per Google, Kimmel tapes at 4:30pm PST so if that holds he should be able to remark on the news
  23. He’ll let it all out on the next new episode lol. He did a great sum up of several months worth of news after coming back from the strikes
  24. That helps, thanks Another question is where a certain show might fit. It’s possible that someone will want a subforum for PBS’ “Great Performances” series. It’s about showing various performing arts, like plays or concerts, but some episodes are essentially documentaries. That seems like a hybrid show but would it make sense to put it under the Nonfiction and Documentary subforum or somewhere else? Info on the series https://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/about/
