Shows I am not watching:
* The Last of Us. You can buy some shows and movies separately on HBO, but currently not that. I'd need a sub and pay a lot for just a rental. Nope.
* Poker Face the TV show, not to be confused with Poker Face the movie. A fairly big movie came out last year called Poker Face and it's all that comes up on Amazon. There is also a completely unrelated and well reviewed heist show from Rian Johnson, also Leverage co-creator Chris Downey is involved, called Poker Face. Even though I am subscribed to Paramount, which partially owns CBS and carries a lot of CBS shows... it's only on the separate Peacock streaming service. Like, I have most of CBS already, the only reason to get Peacock is just to rent that one show that honestly should be included on my current sub. I would like to see 'if Knives Out and Leverage had a baby' but nope, they should include it in my sub and not make me get another.
* Mob Pyscho - On this show I've gone from 'this fandom needs to STFU, it has a very bad weird ideas about japan and what japanese words mean problem, never touching it' to 'enough people have said interesting things about it that I really want to check it out'. (sometimes actually knowing japanese in a curse in anime fandoms)
It looks like it's currently on Crunchyroll? Huh, every other time I looked up a way this show there was only one way to watch it and it was something weird. So, maybe I will watch this one soon. I don't mind using CR for a bit, and if I get a sub for a month or two I'll get good use out of it.
Glad I am making this list and double-checked about Mob Psycho. A lot of TV I want to see, I just can't when it comes out... or am just not going to pay THAT much and then I lose track of it. I have Letterbox'd to keep track movies I want to see, but nothing like that for TV shows. I'll make a list in one of my journals, but I'll probably forget about it.
Movies I want to see but am not paying twenty bucks or whatever:
* M3gan <- Really want to see this. May cave and just get it.
* Tar <- ditto
* .... and hey I have a Letterbox'd account so I can just link my watchlist to see what's there. Some of it is too niche to be on a service and I may just need to buy a DVD and figure out how to play it. I theoretically have ways to play DVDs but I haven't actually done so in years. Some of them are just things I haven't gotten around to.
* Clerks 3 - I will someday watch this but I am not going to buy / rent / go out of my way. Someday it will be late at night and it'll just be there on netflix or something.
* I haven't seen all the the Conjuring movies since they are not all on the same streaming service, but I will eventually see them all
