Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

Now at 10 days without any streamer. Watching Tubi as well as Plex, and so have watched:

• The first ever episode of Mighty Morphing Power Rangers. Zordon really asked for teenagers with attitude. What an idiot. Mind you, after their first feckless fumblings, it's clear that Jason at least has taken the time to read the manual, since he gets into summoning and combining giant robots like he's been doing it all his life.

?The OG alternate pilot has them acting kind of like bullies before Zordon ropes them into fighting his battles.(also the boom comics go into detail as to why teenagers AND a group of friends)

Watching A Writer’s Odyssey, a recent Chinese fantasy film, on Tubi. It’s pretty good but weirdly feels as if it has more lavish cinematography and CGI than is appropriate for the story (a low-key fantasy novel), like the visuals team just really wanted to show off what they could do.

Also, I prefer the original title (Assassinate the Writer), it just makes more sense.

(The story is about a man who starts having weird dreams about a fantasy world after his young daughter is kidnapped. After six years of failing to find her, a tech mogul offers to do so if the man murders an obscure web novel writer for him. It turns out that the writer has created the world the man dreams about, and that whenever his villain suffers a setback, the billionaire becomes more ill.)

I really need to cancel Disney+. I keep it around because it's got all the old Marvel and Star Wars stuff that I like, but when I consider how often I actually watch any of it, I'd probably have spent less buying them as individual downloads on Amazon or YouTube.

See how hard it is these days - I wasn’t able to cancel it before, just suspend it for a month. I think you need to do an online chat to cancel.

It's going to be even harder in my case - I get the service as an add-on via my phone provider. Last time I wanted to change it (after they automatically upgraded me to premium when Disney+ went to split pricing) it took the better part of an hour just to find the add-on on the provider's website.

On the bright side, that means I just need to find the service and turn it off. If anyone needs to negotiate with Disney it'll be the phone company.

Anyway, going to wait until Fantastic Four hits Disney+ (tomorrow I believe) and finally watch that. Then I'll dump them.
