  • 'F1' could be the last Apple TV+ theatrical release

    Its seems like Apple TV+ content is usually stuff you need to be in a certain mood to want to slog through. Some of it is good, some not so good, but nothing really has been amazing or universally easy to watch. 

    Heck, even Godilla was somehow turned boring and saddled with irrelevent themes in the characters' lives that made the whole thing a chore. With the IP and the cast they had, it should have been like a blockbuster movie every episode. Instead, it was light on the good stuff and felt like a job to work throuhg the boring content to get those few tidbits of good stuff. How anyone could get Godzilla to that point, I have no idea.

    Foundation was something I looked forward to with huge anticipation. By the fourth episode, I was tired. Missed about a third of the season and hadn't even watched an episode of season 2.

    The recent Matt Damon movie was... ok. But seemed difficult to really get into.

    We will see how F1 goes. But if it's another attempt at being an overly political sort of snob-fest, it's going to suck. Hopefully it avoids that. Will watch it tomorrow.

    The only way Apple TV+ is going to get universally great content is to replace their content management team. they've really done a poor job. Seems they get in the way, rather than helping. Would be a coup if Apple could get Warner Brothers exclusively on board or even buy them. Disney got Marvel and Apple can get DC and other truly massive IPs. The only fear is that they'll promply ruin it.

    The lone exception so far is Dark Matter, which was stellar. Really drew us in and made waiting for the next episode almost impossible. 


    You were very kind in describing Wolf’s as being OK. Not surprised that it was pulled from the theaters earlier than it was scheduled to be.

    If I know it's coming to Apple TV+, why on earth would I spend the extra $$ to watch it in the theater?
    Movie theaters are a dying breed just like malls.

    Sucks if you bought the first one. As always.
    I would hope you will be able to trade up for a new model. Traded in my series 9 Watch for series 10 and received $170.
