Two episodes of Batman: The Animated Series a night is enough to keep you entertained until summer.
If you're interested in Batman: TAS, the blu-ray collection goes on sale on Amazon pretty often. It is a far superior viewing experience over HBO Max, IMHO. The directory commentaries alone are worth the price.
DC Universe is shutting down video streaming on 1/21 so Superman: TAS and Justice League will hopefully show up soon thereafter.
Studio Ghibli's New Movie Will Stream on HBO Max as It Hits Theaters
Happy about that since I really don't plan to enter a theater for a long time.
Man, almost 30 years later, rewatching B:TAS makes me realize Mayor Hamilton Hill's a bit of an asshole. How'd he get a high school named after him by the 2050s?

I would be happy to never go into a movie theater for the entire rest of my life.

The only time I go to a movie theater is with friends and largely because of the opportunity to do something with them and not so much because of the movie. In even the nice theaters, they keep them so cold that even if I bring a jacket/coat/blanket, I freeze, and then that makes me need the bathroom more often than not, so I'd much rather watch movies at home where I can be comfortable and can pause the video when I need to and also use subtitles.

That's funny because prefer to go alone or with at most one or two other people. Always at an off time and never on a weekend. I don't think I've been to a movie theater in like, five years, and I miss them so much.
30 Coins, the HBO Europe horror series, has started streaming, new episodes on Mondays. I enjoyed the first episode. Has some great over-the-top characters, and some who are even somewhat restrained!
It strikes me as sort of Catholic horror-as-telenovela, only not quite as cheesy as most telenovelas. Give it a shot!
30 Coins is sub-titled, right?
Yes, subtitles. Good thing, too, because the Spanish language actors are great.
So 30 episodes into B:TAS and I find it interesting that of all the Batman villains, the Riddler hasn't shown up yet. Mind you, for whatever reason HBO Max has them in Fox's original broadcast order* even though now Fox's entertainment division is owned by Disney.
* = Which is why the second part of the two part premiere is Episode 8, not Episode 2.
B:TAS Episode 35, "Almost Got 'Im," belongs in the pantheon of greatest comic book stories ever told.

Obviously!! I can still remember watching that episode when it first aired. I had a group of friends that always got together to watch the new episodes...
At the end when the thing happens I got an intense ASMR cascade. Love that!
Is The Alienist any good?

I loathed the book. I’d imagine the show would have to be better.
Is The Alienist any good?
I liked it. First season there wasn't a main character. The second season was mainly focused on the one lady in the group. Second season was also better than the first..
Yes, subtitles. Good thing, too, because the Spanish language actors are great.
30 Coins continues to be awesome.
New episodes Mondays. For some reason this is one show I don't mind waiting a week for the next part. I like letting it settle. Or rather... unsettle.
Snowpiercer is great! I like how they shoehorned a film noir detective plot into the movie plot. I think it works well.
I wasn't a big fan of the first season, but I'm still interested in seeing the 2nd season.
In Europe, the 2nd season will start airing weekly on Netflix.
Well last night I wrapped up West Wing (other than the special episode that was recently released, but HBO Max was acting up and and pausing every two minutes last night, so I gave up until later) and today I'm feeling that feeling we get after finishing a good book, movie, TV series and wondering what to do now. I loved this series and am mourning that I am at the end of it! And considering that we just went through our own election at about the same time similar things were going on in the show seemed like synchronicity rather than coincidence!
This series is definitely going down as one of my favorites along with Downton Abbey.
Decided to watch the new Wonder Woman since it's going away tomorrow or the next day.
Have you seen The Newsroom? Also Sorkin. Also a wee bit dated, but full of timeless dialogue. And Jeff Daniels' performance is sen-f*cking-sational. He was nominated every season of the show for primetime drama outstanding actor Emmys and won one for the first season.
I'm a wee bit of an Aaron Sorkin junkie. He has a distinctive style of writing that gets on some peoples' nerves. But if you liked The West Wing, you'll probably like The Newsroom.
Condolences in advance for Wonder Woman 84.

Don't forget Sports Night.

I'll keep Newsroom in mind!
I enjoyed watching WW84 but found it lacking in some ways. First, Diana's powers weren't really explained too well and I think there was an assumption that people watching the movie would already be very familiar with Wonder Woman, and nothing about how she got from little girl Diana to adult Wonder Woman. Fortunately, I used to watch the TV show with Lynda Carter way back when, but don't think I would have gotten as much out of the movie had I been a complete Wonder Woman newbie. Second, there was a bit too much "mustache twirling" and silly over-the-top-ness for my taste. I enjoyed it but can't say that I came away super excited by it.
Oh if you haven’t seen Patty Jenkins’ first Wonder Woman, you need to get on that right away. It is sooooooo good. It makes WW84 look like a film school project. It’s on HBO Max, too.
Unfortunately, Wonder Woman (2017) does also have some mustache twirling villains.
They have every single Looney Tunes cartoon ever made. It'll take me years to wade through all of this service's animated content alone.

Oh! I didn’t realize they had them all.
Foghorn Leghorn, here I come!
