Jenna Ortega is phenomenal in Wednesday, but what about her co-star who plays Thing? He is just a hand, or is he? Netflix Memes shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the series, and there is a whole body that goes with the hand.
Victor Dorobantu is the man behind the appendage. And the actor was part of the scenes he was in; he was just hidden.
I love that they used a human to play the part and didn’t just CGI him like so many other projects do. That is why Thing is so realistic in the series. It is because he is real.
Netflix is going to do something they have never done before. They are going live! For this inaugural event, they asked Chris Rock to do the honors.
“Chris Rock is one of the most iconic and important comedic voices of our generation,” said Robbie Praw, Netflix Vice President of Stand-up and Comedy Formats. “We’re thrilled the entire world will be able to experience a live Chris Rock comedy event and be a part of Netflix history. This will be an unforgettable moment and we’re so honored that Chris is carrying this torch.”
What’s the worst that could happen? I mean, the last time that he did a live event was at the Oscars. Oh…
I am sure Will Smith is shitting a brick over this…as he should!
The comedian’s live event will stream early next year.
Let’s be honest. We all share the passwords to our streaming services. And many of us share our Netflix one with others. However, the streamer doesn’t like that because it costs them money.
So they have come up with a solution that works for them. Let’s say you want to share your password with a loved one who doesn’t live with you. They say that’s OK, but you will have to pay to add them.
How much will it cost you? Netflix hasn’t said. But Engadget says they expect it to be either $3 or $4 per extra person. That is around what the streaming service has been charging in Latin America, where they have already launched this service.
Would you pay to add your family members? I wouldn’t, but I don’t have any.
This upcoming season of The Crown is so controversial that King Charles III wants to stop it from streaking without even seeing it.
Today, we got a glimpse of what they are focusing on. And here is a description of what is coming to Netflix on November 9th: As Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton) approaches the 40th anniversary of her accession, she reflects on a reign that has encompassed nine prime ministers, the advent of mass television and the twilight of the British Empire. Yet new challenges are on the horizon. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong signals a seismic shift in the international order presenting both obstacles and opportunities. Meanwhile, trouble is brewing closer to home.
Prince Charles (Dominic West) pressures his mother to allow him to divorce Diana (Elizabeth Debicki), presenting a constitutional crisis of the monarchy. Rumors circulate as husband and wife are seen to live increasingly separate lives and, as media scrutiny intensifies, Diana decides to take control of her own narrative, breaking with family protocol to publish a book that undermines public support for Charles and exposes the cracks in the House of Windsor.
Tensions are set to rise further, as Mohamed Al Fayed (Salim Daw) arrives on the scene. Driven by his desire for acceptance of the highest order, he harnesses his self-made wealth and power to try and earn him and his son Dodi (Khalid Abdalla) a seat at the royal table.
So do you think the new King has something to be worried about?
I don’t know about you, but I know a lot of people who are cancelling Netflix because the cost is getting too high. Well, the streaming service has come up with an alternative.
Starting on November 3rd, you can get Netflix for $6.99 a month. The catch is that you will have to sit through about 5 minutes of commercials for each hour of viewing. While you will be able to view most of their programming, some of the titles might not be available to stream. You also will not be able to download any of the shows or movies.
Are you going to switch over? Or will you be doing to Netflix what you did to Kanye West this week and cancel it?
