random thoughts. rants. general nonsense.

I agree, Netflix autoplay is horrid.  It's on everything.  I just finished a movie, why would I want some vaguely connected "you might like" movie to start next?

With that said the "skip intro" button for TV shows should be on everything.

EDIT: The autoplay should function just like the skip intro.  Make it so I have to click it to start the next movie, trailer, episode, whatever.
 
What I hate is that when I'm watching a show on Netflix, not only does it autoplay the next episode before the credits finish, but also auto-skips the intro on the next episode.
 
I just wish I could look through the Netflix catalog in peace.
 
I have a Roku TV and the Netflix app on there is even worse. Not only does it autoplay everything if you stop for .3 seconds on a title, their originals expand to fill the damn screen and THEN autoplay. Somehow, it's even worse than it was before.

Actually it turns out I was complaining more about autopreview (while browsing) than autoplay (after viewing).  Autoplay is bad, but it only kicks in once per show (and you can fix some of it here: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/2102, although I think it doesn't cover the credits problem).  Autopreview hits you several times a minute if you don't browse quickly enough, and mute can only mitigate part of it.  I guess I'm not really a gamer, because I've never been able to navigate Netflix without hitting one of these autopreview landmines.
 
Just got an idea for a Superman (well, really Mxyzptlk) story that's so completely stupid and bonkers it just might be awesome.

George. I feel Ringo is talked about way more often. Heck, I know practically nothing about George.
 
George is lesser known, but Ringo is the more underrated. No one underrates George, they just don't talk about him. Ringo is frequently slashed for being a bad drummer, when he's perfectly competent. He may not be the best drummer in the world (or even the band), but he gives the songs what they need. 

If one was to ask "who is the better musician?", then the answer would be George.

I like Harrison a lot. He did arguably one of the very best solo Beatles songs (with this joyous and appropriate modern dance music video):


Amazing video of Prince shredding the solo from one his best songs at his Hall of Fame induction:


He invented the star studded benefit concert with 1971's 'The Concert for Bangladesh':


He was in supergroup The Traveling Wilburys too:


Not forgetting that George was a brilliant film producer/financier too.

I think he's rated highly.

Ringo on the other hand is unarguably inferior to the other three Beatles talent wise, he wasn't a founder member, wrote no Beatles songs anybody would consider in their top compositions and has had a fairly lackluster solo career. However despite this famous jokey comment:

He was a fantastic drummer and did write some memorable, if silly songs, so I'd say he was underrated.
 
One simply does not talk about George Harrison without bringing up this:

 
i'm george harrison's biggest fan and i'd never seen that. guess i was never really that into the simpsons.

and 'What Is Life' is not even one of the best songs of All Things Must Pass!!! in 69' i think george was a better songrwitter than john or paul, and i think that him on his peak was at the level of the other two during their peak.
