  • Re: Cord cutting - what service to buy after the cable co goes away

    I'd be more interested in the Disney Properties, than actual Disney content, now and in the future. I won't be getting this streaming service at the present time, but that could change, depending on if and what they buy in the future.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      Rube made me wonder where Touchstone branded Disney films will fall in the new network. Maybe shuttled off to Hulu?

Not enough to really hurt the bottom line but when big networks and studios like this push too hard there will be blowback.
        At the Disney shareholder event Thursday some bigwig at Hulu told investors there were significant numbers who dropped live TV when the price increased, but almost all of them went to one of the VOD options instead of canceling Hulu outright. That's me. I went to the $5.99 plan, and when this billing cycle ends I'm doing the Spotify deal.

          So many options these days makes it easier to make an informed decision. Hulu Live gives me more channels than I need and access to the teams I care about so I am happy.

            It's going to depend upon the nature of the content. Anything rated R will go to Hulu, and then the PG-13 will be evaluated for why that rating was received. PG and G will likely stay with Disney+. They've already said that Deadpool will be on Hulu rather than Disney+.

              @RealJackEdwards: Attention Sony Playstation Vue users: After business hours last night, PS Vue decided to inform NESN that it would drop us at 5pm today, even though NESN offered a 30-day extension. That could mean no Game 5 for you tonight.

                • I'm surprised yet not surprised. The company doesn't want to address the fact it was founded by an antisemitic racist. That doesn't fit with the family-friendly image the company has. However there are numerous other examples in Disney cartoons but it isn't likely those films will be edited.

                  On the other hand there is still a segment of the population that is comfortable with Jim Crow and slavery. Probably a good idea not to market to them though, since they're (allegedly) boycotting the company because of "the gays." That boycott has been a raging success so far.

                        I agree.

                        Learn from history, don't shove it under the carpet. There are lessons to be learned from Song Of The South, how the social views were back then, etc. Use it as a teaching tool.

                            Warner Bros. has already taken a step forward in this department... The message is quite clear: We messed up, but we do need to show where society was at that point in time and how we've progressed....

                                In a large part of the country the "social views" haven't changed. It isn't so much History as Current Events.
