Is This the End of Ad-Free Streaming Services?

While Amazon Prime continues to add exciting titles and originals like the upcoming series “Malice” starring David Duchovny and the horror-thriller Trunk, they are also adding something else; ads and streaming subscribers are pissed.

The golden age of ad-free streaming appears to be fading as major platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube tighten their grip on ad revenue. This shift has sparked an outcry from users accustomed to seamless viewing experiences. But the financial allure of advertising proves irresistible for these giants. Subscribers Are Abandoning Ship: The first domino fell in January 2024. When Amazon Prime Video introduced limited ads to its streaming platform. Despite prior warnings, the move stung many who had already witnessed a 43% price hike in May 2023. The company justifies the change by citing the need to “continue investing in compelling content,” promising “meaningfully fewer ads” than traditional TV. However,

Spoiler-Free Film Review: “The Complex Forms” (Slamdance Film Festival)

It is January 22, 2024 as I write this review, and I have my first strong candidate for my list of best films of 2024: writer/director Fabio D’Orta’s genre-blending Italian chiller The Complex Forms. With his film, which he himself lensed in luscious black-and-white, D’Orta uses for inspiration classic cinema both Italian and international, investing these inspirations with a modern sensibility and a maverick vision. The budget may have been low, but the look of the film — including fantastical, beautifully rendered creature design — belies that fact. Christian Del Ben (David White) is down on his luck to the point that he has agreed to sell the use of his body to a mysterious entity for a sum of money that will help him get back on his feet. This takes place in a mysterious villa, the location of which none of the men who have made the pact know about. Del Ben is roommates with the affable Luh
