Ah, HBO, jumping on the Streaming Service bang waggon? Yep. Well, you ain't getting any of my money, not after you screwed up a mans lives work on Game of Thrones. Oh, and by the way, idiots at HBO, the series is called A Song of Ice and Fire, and not Game of Thrones, that's the name of the first book. But then again, expecting intelligence from a US network is like expecting a tiger not to hunt.

The Sopranos was HBO's only redeeming contribution, in my not so humble opinion.

See, I gave every one of those a shot, but none of them came even remotely close to the visceral gut punch that was The Sopranos. Again, in my not so humble opinion.

And now.....the conclusion of my thrilling adventure with the HBO gift card. I know you were up all night, on pins and needles, just dying to know what happened next... So after getting absolutely no help at all from the HBO customer service dept. , I went back to Target, where I bought the card. A nice kid tried to re-activate and register it on his own phone, and it still wouldn't work. After making sure all the numbers matched up with the receipt, he called over his supervisor, who looked like Kenny Rogers. "The Gambler" went through the same steps himself and then gave me my money back. No questions asked. He didn't even try to talk me into an exchange for another gift card, which really surprised me, and made me wonder if this happens often with HBO cards. Oh well. I'm just gonna have to be patient and wait until I can watch It Chapter 2 and Doctor Sleep, etc on another channel.

I mean, I bought both on 4K blu ray, sight unseen, spending like $22.00 average on each and I was sooo glad I did. Those are definitely keepers.

Those are definitely keepers.I don't re-watch movies very often, so I hesitate to buy many. My dvd collection consists mainly of music performances, documentaries or video collections. Most of our movies are ones my husband buys...and also a bunch that the kids left here.

My Pops will watch them, probably my brother and a couple of my kids, too, so it'll be worth it.

The CW has better shows than those.

I haven't seen it, so I'm not sure exactly what you mean.....but if you've seen my posts about the Nightmares & Dreamscapes episodes, you know that I've had it "up to here" with SK's work being given the campy/comedic treatment. What's the deal with Chapter II? Do you feel that it was treated too lightly ? (And btw I'll try to remember to reply to your comment again after I see the movie.)

It was just that, they turned IT into a Will Ferrell movie.
