I’ve rented a couple individual streaming movies from Amazon. the service worked well.
It’s called Amazon Prime, and my first year payed for itself by the second or third purchase. I signed up for it when I bought my Fire, and I wanted to stream movies. I recommend it highly.
I dumped Netflix the fifth time I heard of an old movie, wanted to watch it, and they didn’t have it. Their repertoire has gotten really poor.
They tried to do a remake of GI? That’s insane, soft porn or not, and whoever thought it up should have been summarily fired.
I agree. But they eventually remake all the old shows because there are no new ideas. They take the old title and the new show/movie is the same old crap that does not resemble the original at all.
Some old plot themes can still create many laughs. My favorite has always been “the fish out of water” theme. Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres. A few years back, they tried to make The Cavemen from the insurance commercials into a series, and that would have been a good theme for that, but they chose a different direction and made the caveman characters elite snobs.
I guess I was right because it flopped after something like three episodes.
It must have been really bad.
Dawn Wells was built like a brick...
It just wasn’t funny. The protagonists came off as unlikable. Name a character from Gilligan you really didn’t like. You can’t, even Ginger and Mr. Howell had good qualities. I wonder if there is YouTube of the The Cavemen show?
bump
lots of good and bad stuff at Youtube
Truedat. But it’s an amazing repository of old cultural stuff. Also some really kewl educational stuff. I found several really good videos about Prince Rupert’s Tears there. Nifty if you like physics.
Son, pornography has existed in one form or another since males first started fantsizing about sex.....Why do you think God gave you two hands?
Lots of John Wayne and stuff too
I refuse to make the joke I was about to make. It was a take-off on an old Steve Martin gag about Farrah Fawcett.
Yes. “Stuff.” I came across a 500 lb gal doing porn the other day too. I don’t have filters on my searches. I’m starting to wonder if I should....
There are 12 steps programs that address porn addiction.
“safe search” is a great idea
I know first hand the damage this stuff does to a relationship. I refuse to be an actor in someone’s movie in their head. After a while I was just “I hate you go away leave me alone I don’t care what you think or want”. It was very demeaning and I wouldn’t stand for it.
It is demeaning, and not how people should treat one another. I’m sorry you went through that.
The place to start is to explain that it is a mortal sin, and they that do such will not inherit the kingdom of God. They need to repent, confess their sins, and not do them any more. The idea that saying words alone saves them from eternal punishment no matter what works they produce is subtly dangerous. What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? and again Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
