Juliette Binoche looks a bit different here...just rewatched her Chocolate a few days ago..Cate Blanchett always looks so stunning.
ReplyDeleteShe rarely has longer hair and this is the only photo of her I could find in which she looks at least a bit feminine :)
DeleteGrrr. Apple is getting the best series, but I can't subscribe to more streaming services. I guess I'll miss this one.
ReplyDeleteHumans will soon be leaving all they earn to gazillion different streaming services, sadly. At some point they will have to organise one major streamer with them all together in it and sharing monies according to viewings of their programmes.
DeleteI swear Cate is ageless!
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, this isn't the freshest of her pics :)
DeleteLooks like it's time to resubscribe to Apple TV. I've been on the fence about it, but they have finally upped their game when it comes to programs. I'll probably grab it this summer when I have a little more down time.
ReplyDeleteHope you won't live to regret it LOL Apple is defo up there with Amazon, Netflix, Disney and Hulu, only Peacock and HBO Max are struggling as far as I have heard, so they will have to decrease their prices or make better programmes.
DeleteI hope all this competition works in favor of us, the public.
DeleteFingers crossed!
DeleteI think it will. It’s like when iTunes hit and the artists were pissed people could choose to purchase just one song. Well, gone were the days of producing subpar music for most of an album knowing consumers had no choice but to fork over $15 or $20 just to have access to the one or two songs that were even worth listening to out of the lot. Artists were being held accountable for quality content once it switched to single pay. The same will be true for streaming services. Can’t produce quality content? There are a dozen other services to switch to that do. No need to be tied to one platform that has lots of content, but nothing worthwhile to watch. Just cancel and move to the next. Or, single pay for movies and show episodes without subscription to these services at all. This is going to be great for the consumers, I believe.
DeleteFingers crossed, I think the competition is starting this year with both Netflix and Amazon preparing so many massive expensive epic series. But I feel that none of them caters to other tastes. Netflix rarely has anything for older people, even though they could. Amazon apparently has, but it is very difficult discovering what they have in their offer and their press is awful.
DeleteSo true. I have a hard time finding anything on both Amazon or Netflix a lot of the times. Netflix keeps catering to the younger crowd, many of which don't even pay for their service, but mooch the passwords off of their parents. I mean, every one of my friends that has kids in high school, college, or newly graduated all use their parents accounts. Mariah just lost her Amazon student discount since she graduated and has been using ours since. Jason said, "oof, gonna suck for Mariah once we start cancelling all of these streaming services!" My best friend just had a rant saying "nobody even texts me anymore unless they need a password!" LOL. And yet, they want to cater to the kids who don't pay. When us parents start getting fed up, they will start regretting not giving us old timers more content to choose from as well.
DeleteLol at Jason!
DeleteI do not generally get Netflix, they only keep what has over 50 million viewers or so, so only hits, which means that they only offer what is mediocre, but they have enough money to buy so many shows around the world and stream them.
The New Boy sounds really interesting! I hope it has a happy ending. I wonder if it’s based on a true story.
ReplyDeleteNuns are scary even when they look like Blanchett. I still remember that Lambs of God Australian series with crazy nuns... jeepers creepers....
