Premieres next week at the Venice Film Festival before releasing on Netflix September 27 (updated!).

Yes!

I’m howling

this is the equivalent of making a movie about a succubus and calling it SUCC

It’s actually slightly worse than that, because “chupa” isn’t just the verb “suck” – that would be “chupar”. “Chupa” is a verb inflection that reads one of two ways: when paired with a subject, it’s indicative (i.e., it describes an action being performed by its subject; hence, “chupacabra” = “goat-sucker”), but without an explicit subject, it becomes imperative. This film’s title is commanding you to suck.

Are you fucking kidding me?

You make a good ass point.

“…some confusion about when and how Netflix can be shared.” How netflix can be shared? You can’t take people’s money for a service and then demand that they use it a certain way. it WILL be shared however the fuck we want to, because we’re paying for it.

These hoes really made 3.5 Billion Dollars off of subscriptions last year and still act like they ain’t getting enough 🙄

Okay but look up where they’re starting it bc the places they’re initiating this move are like…Costa Rica and Peru and shit lke… it’s giving Big Racism. Like they’re legit starting this shit on brown ppl to punish them for having families they share with.

Here’s an article that discusses how, exactly, Netflix might try to actually force people not to share their accounts. But this is the bit I found most interesting:

“The other side of the argument says that Netflix could lose millions of subscribers if it implements a strict policy. For instance, people who share an account and chip in to pay for the service may not find Netflix’s subscription worthwhile if they have to pay the total amount by themselves. Netflix is already one of the priciest streaming service options for consumers; limiting the ability to share would essentially raise the price further.”

And:

“The expense for Netflix is the opportunity cost: How much more revenue could it bring in if it restricted account sharing to a more substantial degree? In reality, Netflix does not know the answer to this question. It has not tried this before, and there is no telling if the total of new signups versus cancellations will result in higher revenue.”

Personally, I’m a big fan of VPNs and bittorrent. If you live in Chile, Peru, or Costa Rica, here is a write up (from Dec 2021) for how to check, and hide, your region from Netflix. This also works if you’re just looking for content that Netflix streams in a different country than your own. (Here’s a 2022 guide, in case the other article isn’t helping you for some reason, altho it recommends ExpressVPN and I do not).

If youre interested, here’s an explanation for how Netflix tries to get around VPNs (cheaper VPNs are easier. Persobally, I use Nord and never have a problem with Netflix).

“And bring on more of Benedict Cumberbatch, too, please. He’s terrific in everything he’s in and while The Grinch obviously appeals to a different demographic than say Sherlock or his MCU work, it’s still worth a watch.”
