Interesting. They filed for the TM - but don't actually have it yet - in December, which is presumably after the Arnie movie was announced.
They also opted not to change the studios name from "Busted Tranny Productions".
Ya, there are several registrations listed, that was the one that looked to be theirs. Maybe they had one of the other ones before, haven't clicked through them all.

The American Manhunt documentary on the Boston bombers was interesting. One thing I took away from it was the absolute trainwreck American law enforcement can be. Just a total mish mash of jurisdictions trying to work together. I know we like to s**t on our law enforcement but between this show and Flint PD it could be MUCH worse.
One it was leaked where the suspect was there was literal armies of law enforcement converging on scene and at one point someone started shooting and the popped off a hundred plus rounds for no reason. What an absolute s**t show.
Just finished the first season of the Diplomat. I have to say, i really enjoyed this. Seriously had a West Wing feel, maybe just a little more R rated in some parts. but the series aspect is sound with that side kick of humor.
Arnold is the greatest (him personally and the docu). Certainly my childhood hero though, so Im watching with rose colored glasses. Had a lot of history and footage that hasn’t been seen elsewhere.
The McGregor docu is the best example of a PR piece I have seen in ages- its about 5 years too late though.
Downgraded to the discounted "with-ads" subscription only to find the advertisements are not compatible with previous generation Chromecasts, which is almost exclusively how I play all streaming content. Because of course.
On another note, the advertisements aren't as distracting as I expected, although I've only watched a few series so far. I expect it would be disruptive in a feature-length film, however.

I watched the first two episodes of Black Mirror. Both were good. Very different from each other which is one of the things I like most about Black Mirror. You can't predict what type of episode is coming next.

I didn't really think Ep2 was a black mirror episode. There wasn't really a techno-dystopic bent to it. I also haven't made it to 6.3 yet. But I do think with how poorly Netflix usually manages it's brands, Black Mirror is something of a bright spot, outside of reality it's one of the few brands that has kept momentum beyond 2 editions.

The majority of the episodes this season are not tech focused.

Weird season for me..
Spoiler!
Episode 1 felt very Black Mirror-ish but I felt was pretty lame. Episode two I thought was really well done, and left me feeling physically ill like I did at the end of Shut up and Dance. Episode 3 was a cool premise and Aaron Paul was great, but the ending was very predictable for me. Episode 4 had a spectacular twist but other than that final 10 minutes there wasn't much to write home about. Episode 5 was the best of the bunch, IMO. But again, not very akin to the Black Mirror universe. Season overall I'd give 7/10
