> They made a mistake and got too greedy and make a subscription I barely paid attention to something that got too expensive...
That's the thing, in the past I I'd go months without watching anything on Netflix yet still pay them for it, so they were essentially getting a free $8 a month (or whatever) off me during that time.
Now the prices have gone up so much it doesn't make sense to keep subscribed for something I'm barely using, just so I can easily watch a single show that interests me once every three months or so.
The only streaming service that has makes some sense for me to pay for right now is Youtube's, since that's my goto for videos anyway, and it's nice not to have ads for those.
Additionally they also have a bunch of great older movies free to watch movies on Youtube, probably a better selection (of movies I care about) than Netflix right now (saw/rewatched Train to Busan, Little Shop of Horrors, Ghostbusters, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Tropic Thunder, Fifth Element, Big Trouble in Little China, Dr. Strangelove, 12 Angry Men, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, The Truman Show, Air Force One, Dirty Work, and Dracula: Dead and Loving It recently).
There is something about his sarcastic and I'd say "self aware" delivery that makes him so funny. He was almost funnier on weekend update with bad material, because he was also almost laughing at how dumb it was. Same as in e.g. Dirty Work, which was a throwaway movie but he still ends up being funny just because he's Norm Macdonald. I think that's what let's him get away with telling these long rambling jokes that almost nobody else could deliver in a funny way, and still be entertaining
Awful. Always loved his comedy. The movie he made years ago, Dirty Work, is heavily underappreciated.
RIP Norm.
