Some chains have trivia games you can play along with on a handheld device while you wait for your food. This might just be a series of shorts to keep the little ones entertained while you eat your chicken at your own pace.
I pay for HBO Max, and ESPN Plus. Without also having Xfinity cable, you can't watch jack shit. Local sporting events are blacked out, no NFL games and shows like Real Time with Bill Maher and others are inaccessible. It's a fucking scam.
Why does the idiot who wrote the article say it killed the cord cutter's dream? It is exactly what the cord cutters want. I do not want sports not to exist, I just do not want to have to pay for them because I have cable or satellite. If I wanted sports I could get a sports streaming service which becomes a reason to kill cable for sports fans. BTW if you thought the pro-sports package was going to be cheap, you are a fucking moron. Pro sports are the most expensive channels and access out there. Basic cable customers have always been forced to pay for that shit whether they watch it or not. The only thing that costed more than sports was PPV. Premium movie packages were always less expensive than things like ESPN and MSG being forced on you in the basic package. I knew the breakdown. It gets even worse when you have to buy multiple sorts channels on higher tier services. Now sports people are having to pay their share of the licensing and greed of the pro-sports world and not difuse the payments to non-sports watchers. Exactly what cord cutters want. I do not want to pay for your pro-sports, but I am perfectly fine with your enjoyment of the medium. Now pay your masters for their coke and hookers.
OK, you have a digital copy and it gets deleted somehow, then you can download another digital copy via torrents. OK, it sucks that you cannot go to funimation's site anymore to get one, but it really isn't like they are going to come after you for downloading or making another one with your physical media. OTOH if you have the cheap ass 10 dollar crunchyroll membership you get most titles, and if you have a VPN to give you international access you have all the titles. Maybe that goes away someday, but for 10 dollars you are getting streaming on multiple devices for all of crunchyroll, sony, and funimation content? As far as I am concerned if you purchased a copy of it for yourself on your own systems, then you have paid the creators and distributors their due. I even think there is a good argument to be made in court if they happen to want to go there that you own a copy. The only thing you do not have is a remote backup on funimation servers, and a right to give away copies to other people who did not pay for it.

Idle has said that he wants nothing to do with Cleese or Gilliam and implies that the Netflix documentary was done as a bit of a cash grab.
Funny enough, Crunchyroll started it's life as an illegal upload site for subbed anime. They're basically the Walter White of streaming services
They should have done it like netflix and made the ad tier first, then jacked the price. this way you separate the cheapo ad guys and then you keep your premium people on their same plan. That is just a perception thing.
DirecTV is doing something that actually makes sense: they're offering customers a chance to temporarily (or permanently) opt out of local channels for a $12 per month discount. “Consumers have been voting with their wallets for years that pay TV — as currently constructed — is too expensive and restricts their choices,” said Rob Thun, DirecTV’s chief content officer, in a statement. “Our new ‘No Locals’ package enables customers to take an important step forward in culling out certain types of content they may no longer care to watch and better balance the price they are willing to pay.” Of course, the irony here is that the biggest obstacle to selling satellite dishes when they first came out was the lack of local channels. Now the idea of switching between satellite for national channels and to antenna for local channels doesn't seem nearly as outlandish as it did at first.
Maybe you just pitch a good movie with the premise and drop the knight's tale name because your main character is dead. A connection to a movie without the actual character or actor is just an obvious attempt to ride the coattails of the previous movie without any of the previous movie. Being a fantasy movie with only practical effects sorts of rules out a need for a reboot also. Make a new movie and stop trying to use the old one to fool people into watching. The algorithm wasn't wrong.
