Walt is coming for Netflix

Doesn’t surprise me. Their original content ain’t cheap to produce, and I’m sure the licensing fees for premier movies must be expensive.
Oddly enough, if there is a potential fix, it might be having the company that created binge watching going retro and (gasp) releasing their shows on a *weekly* basis:

I’ve been wondering for a while how they make money. But what do I know? I would have bought Sear’s stock on @Dennis_DeYoung ’s advice.Doog_de_Jour said:Doesn’t surprise me. Their original content ain’t cheap to produce, and I’m sure the licensing fees for premier movies must be expensive.

That’s good advice. Word is once their holiday catalogs hit everyone’s mailboxes profits will be going through the roof!YellowSnow said:

Payback is a bitch. The Sears mail order catalog was the Amazon of its day. Ask the folks at the general store.Doog_de_Jour said:

Walt his dead and his company is run by the very Jews he hated. Allegedly.

True dat. I used to love going through the holiday one every year and tear out the pages of what I wanted for Christmas.YellowSnow said:

Here’s a great archive of some of the past catalogs - some of them are pretty hysterical:

I remember coming of age during the tail end of the Sears catalog era and, uh, finding some alone time with the underwear section. Contrast that with my son, who will probably jerk off for the first time to an 8K VR video of Germans fisting and shitting on each other that he'll accidentally stumble upon while doing a search for monarch butterflies for a school project. Strange world...Doog_de_Jour said:

Local VHS rental stores got killed by Blockbuster. Blockbuster got killed by Netflix. Disney + Hulu + AP killed Neflix.
Standard TV got killed by cable. Netflix killed cable. Disney + Hulu + AP killed Neflix.
Cycle of life and shit.
In other news, Amazon and Disney (which owns most of Hulu btw) will own the entire world soon. -
Amazon needs to get on the stick relative to their own content. It's too up and down - good shows like Goliath, then some real shit.Swaye said:Local VHS rental stores got killed by Blockbuster. Blockbuster got killed by Netflix. Disney + Hulu + AP killed Neflix.

They've kind of latched into some solid Aussie programming, though. Which is nice because aussies like to get naked and are hot.

Haven't been able to get into it. I like the alt history genre, but this is just way to out there for me. Germans nuking DC? Come on - they weren't even close to getting the bomb. We were the only country on Earth with anywhere near the industrial capacity get one built in 3 years time in the midst of fighting a world war.NEsnake12 said:

The acting by the lead villains is phenomenal and what keeps me hooked. Especially for John Smith.YellowSnow said:

I get that the historical plausibility is iffy... but you have to kind of just roll with it -
Rufus Sewell has done an absolutely marvelous job as John Smith
Glad I bought Disney at $32/share -

You need to level up your suspension of disbelief my friend. I hand waved a lot of the historical details because I find the political intrigue in this world’s post-WWII fascinating. In addition to Rufus Sewell, the actors who play the Japanese trade minister and head of the Kempeitai (secret police) are superb. Plus I’m proud of the show that they actually *give you answers* rather than have some drawn out X-Files/Lost-esque bullshit. It’s not perfect, but I encourage a second look.YellowSnow said:
