Honestly the only reason my family still watches TV is because of college football, and HBO. My main problem with not having TV is that I really miss having Swedish (and sometimes Norwegian) TV channels, especially for sports, but also a few other programs. Sure I can fix a lot of that with a VPN, but that's just more money to spend alongside 3 different streaming services just to have acces to the sports I want to watch and whatever other streaming services for other kinds of entertainment than sports. It's easily more expensive! And an appartment that really isn't built fof good wi-fi doesn't make it better. I really consider going back from time to time and might do so for the Olympics.

Aegon's Conquest 2. Dance of Dragons 3. Blackfyre Rebellions 4. Robert's Rebellion I hope there's a bit of Maegor and Jaehaerys and Alysanne. But of course, the parts where there is an "action" will be primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re just so much better than cable tv. yeah...I love them, too...but...between sports and movies/tv series I already have 7/8 of them (paid, not counting those I can cheat and get for free when I'm not supposed to)... frankly, I'm just on the edge of going too much further...only the idea of having my beloved content even more fractioned between thousand of streaming services is driving me sick...it's not that I can grab money from the trees in the garden in front of my house...

Federer91 2,140 Posted October 30, 2019 #594 Share Posted October 30, 2019 The new Terminator is getting a looooot of hate. I personally enjoyed it, even though the plot is largely a one we have seen before. Better than Salvation and Geneshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,477 Posted November 3, 2019 #595 Share Posted November 3, 2019 My sister just finished watching Forest Gump for the first time. Man, I forget how good that movie is. Easily in my top 3 all-time. It’s pretty un-American that she hadn’t seen it yet. I should honestly be a requirement in schooling. “Sport has the power to change the world.

heywoodu 13,552 Posted November 3, 2019 #597 Share Posted November 3, 2019 By the way, I feel like there's at least 15 movies you mentioned are 'easily in my top-3/5'. How?

How? Well, when your a cinephile it’s hard to have a favorite . Plus, I forget so many whenever I do rankings . It would be my dream to write screenplays. If journalism or Public speaking doesn’t work out, then I might give Hollyweed a go. heywoodu 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,477 Posted November 9, 2019 #600 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Another new HBO show dropped today. It’s called “His Dark Materials” and it’s an alternate dimension, mystery, big brother, conspiracy, sci-fi, magic show. It has a lot of potential potential, but the first episode wasn’t as gripping as “Watchmen”. I believe this show is also based off a book(s). I’ll definitely watch the rest of the season, but it’s a unique look and tone for HBO. It’s normal your normal HBO or television show for that matter. I’m genuinely curious to see where they go with it. HBO still killing the game this year. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
