Is TV Streaming Still Worth it?

I'm paying almost $130/month for Netflix, HBOMax, Disney+ Hulu, Apple TV, Paramount Plus, Peacock, and Amazon Prime. That's without ads, but the top-tier plans are usually the only way to get 4K streaming. I did the math, and if I watch around 10 hours a week that's about $3 and 25 cents every day. For that kind of money, I could rent a new movie or buy an episode of TV whenever I want and still come out ahead. That doesn't even factor in free streaming services like Tubi.

Does anyone else feel how crazy it’s all become?

NORTH - Directed by Rob Reiner, Starring Elijah Wood and Bruce Willis is a forgotten Gem.

I must have seen this film a dozen times growing up, but never really felt like North got its due. A perfect family night movie. Based on a novel by Alan Zweibel. The cast is stacked with so many great performances, especially from Bruce Willis. You'll miss so many little details the first time, so repeat watching is recommended.

Can Someone Explain The Appeal of Verticals or Micro Dramas?

https://preview.redd.it/667zb27v3y7h1.png?width=1536&format=png&auto=webp&s=6863b36e2f2ba9659370ed9b375a4f4fe1211a24

Genuinely curious what people are finding most appealing about Verticals. Are the stories worth watching all the way through? Is it really better to watch tall versus wide? Are the stories chopped up so you can stop whenever you want? Oh and does it end up costing as much as a streaming service? I watch plenty of things on my phone, but I also like watching on my tv so I'm just trying to figure out how it all works!

What Are Some Alternatives to Plex on Roku?

I want to keep using Plex without Foxku (which sounds increasingly like f*ck you), but really don't want to switch to Apple, Amazon or Google. I've never built any kind of home server before on my own before, so I'm looking for the most easy and simple consumer friendly option.

What Other Movies Did You Not Know Were Based on a Book?

I was shocked to find out that Die Hard was based on Roderick Thorp's novel. Even crazier, Thorp's prequel novel was called The Detective, which was made into another movie with Frank Sinatra in the starring role, so the main character in the novel's name was changed from Detective Joe Leland to John McClane.
