I squeaked a few things through including
Superman of tomorrow on HBO Max
Animated fare. The voice of Lois Lane is Alexandra Hi Ho Daddario. The >animated version had her eyes but not her breasts.
This was not good. Much of the animation was original to the project, but
all the standard stuff people did was extremely anime, just cookie cutter >stuff dropped in by people who can?t draw. The voice acting was mediocre; >Zachary Quinto as Lex Luther actually managed to mispronounce Luther core. >Most of the plot didn?t make sense. Lobo shows up and causes trouble, but >then just leaves having accomplished nothing. Same notation for Martian >Manhunter. The main nuisance is the parasite who turns out in this telling
to be a rip off of the black goo venom Spider-Man suit who turns into a >double low rent Godzilla and not even a good Godzilla but the iguana
Godzilla from that horrible Matthew Broderick version with more than a hint >of the alien Xeno morph to his design. And I guess even an innocent victim >who dies effectively murdered by Superman, so he doesn?t even save the day.
And one assumes the director had some sort of gay agenda since he went out
of his way to put in naked men?s butts. It reminded me of what an
interviewer asked the animation team from the road to El Dorado why they
were putting in naked men?s butts and they replied ?because (DreamWorks) >won?t let us put in naked women?s butts.?
I then watched a completely different creative team doing a Batman film The >Doom That Came to Gotham. Set in the 1920s with everybody somewhat recast >and actual magic and lots and lots of death as the bad guys managed to >resurrect Cthulhu. This is one to watch with some sort of commentary or >cheat sheet to see who all the characters actually are supposed to be.

sort of Amazon outage.
So it was a problem on Amazon's end, was it?
I was wondering what the hell was going on. Inspired by Your Name's news post yesterday about Prime canceling the Australian version of THE OFFICE, I went on the app to see if it could be watched here (it can't, FYI) so I could see if it was any good. The app took forever to load and when it did, they standard panoply of available shows and movies was there, but my entire "continue watching" lineup had disappeared and when I went to search for THE OFFICE, I found that the search function was non-functional. It would bring up
anything. I thought maybe if I logged off and logged back on, the problem might go away but when I clicked on the "my account" icon, the entire app just
froze with a twirling circle and I had to physically pull the plug on my Apple
TV and let it reboot just to get out of the damn thing.
This morning the Amazon app seems to be functioning normally again.

That?s very close to what was happening here. I could see the menus for
most apps, but the play button wouldn?t be active.

LOL. In this case they apparently did it too themselves. They did
something that disabled much of the East Coast of their AWS server
(yes, I know.) Not the first time that a company managed to take down
many companies by their own mistake.
