Lord of the Rings / Rings of Power

Lord of the Rings / Rings of Power

It debuted on Amazon Prime tonight.
It's pretty good so far.
Amazing scenery and special effects.
I think I read the budget was $250MN for the series.

So far, so good.

I guess if I'm still alive I'll see it in another 20 years. Not worth all the other **** to pay for just that on some streaming service and waste bandwidth.

@DeWayfarer I subscribe to amazon prime so I can get free shipping on the stuff I order every two weeks or so. The free movies are a bonus, even if most of them are lame.

I don't subscribe to any other streaming movies like Netflix or Hulu.

@DeWayfarer I have it as part of my Amazon Prime package. I also get free music and discounts on stuff I order through the mail.

@DallasCowboysFan it's still streaming! Your paying for bandwidth no matter what.

@DeWayfarer So you use somebody else's Wi-Fi.

@LordShadowfire that's laughable! Especially here! No one has their WiFi unpassworded. And those that do have bandwidth locks.

@DeWayfarer Ever heard of asking politely?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire again laughable. No one even visits to ask. Everyone keeps to themselves here. And why everything is locked up.

It's what society is coming to.

@DeWayfarer I don't know where you live, but a lot of cell phone plans offer unlimited downloads for the month. My program with T Mobile does. But I still use less than 2GB a month. I use wireless when I can.

@DallasCowboysFan It's not just the data. It's actually everything all together. I would also have to get a different TV. Nor do I have a computer, so forth and so on. My income is extremely limited as well. What I can't afford, I simply don't use.

This cellphone of mine costs me nothing, data included. And antenna TV costs me nothing. Which it always has.

Call me a minimalist, yet I find everything of the latest is specifically designed to drain everyone's income. Which I simply don't have to begin with. 🤷🏻‍♂️

BTW do you understand just how much data just one movie is? You would only see one half of any movie at 2 gigs on a HDTV. So your better off buying a DVD. And that DVD includes surround sound which I actually do have. Very old though.

@DeWayfarer I have a cell phone plan with T Mobile ....the 50 and over plan.....fifty dollars a month, taxes included, unlimited data.......but I still only use about 2gb a month.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@DallasCowboysFan it doesn't matter what kind of phone plan you have if your TV doesn't get hooked up to the internet in some way.

I'm not going to buy one! I can't afford to!

Once again... I pay NOTHING! That's $0.0 per month.

I won't embarrass you by how much data I can get. Nor by how much I actually use. It's well over 2 gigs per month without a streaming, for pay, service. And that's without Google's update app data, because that's all turned off. Google play is totally disabled on my cellphone. And so is the YouTube app.
