The DC Universe service also has tens of thousands of comics, so it’s similar to Marvel Unlimited, which is separate from Disney+.

Right but Marvel Unlimited doesn't have streaming video, just comics. So wouldn't it make sense for DC Universe to be made into something just the same and move all their streaming video under one umbrella?Originally Posted by mae
All this talk about DC crap and no mention of South Park and the rumoured 500M bidding war over the streaming rights? It's literally the only thing that matters here. I just want to know what South Park was licensed for!

I'm not a South Park fan but the last video I posted did get into SP a lot, yes every season of South Park will be available, and future seasons too.
Maybe. Or maybe that's how they wish to distinguish themselves from MU.
True. But I don't really think there's much need to on that front. Marvel and DC comics have pretty much held the same amount of "market share" for years when it comes to the comic books. For me at least it would make much more sense for them to put all their video streaming content in one basket. Then again WB has been making all sorts of weird decisions with the DC video brand lately.
Oof - Friends. The ultimate way to discourage me from watching.

AT&T and Charter clients with an HBO subscription will be upgraded to HBO Max free:

They also just uploaded the first trailers for some of the original content:
You know, this thing really disturbs me. I've been an HBO subscriber since the beginning and content as far as movies has declined somewhat, but the original content shows have held it up there. Now it would seem that some of the resources normally assigned to the regular HBO are being diverted to this new service and I scream NO FAIR!!!
I will admit I'm not "up to date" on the news and goals of the working of HBO/HBO MAX, but its owned by AT&T which is a fucking train wreck in the entertainment industry so far IMHO, so it doesn't give me that warm and fuzzy feeling. In fact, I get the feeling they're lubing up to screw me once again!!! lol
Anyone well versed in the proposed direction and goals for this new service?

Good news, though, Bill. If you currently have a regular HBO subscription with your AT&T (DirecTV) package, you'll get HBO Max free.
Well, that is good news, but with AT&T I have to wonder "for how long". So Okay, and pardon me for being a block head, this will not appear as a new "channel" will it? It will only be viewable thru my "Apple TV" device correct?

Yeah I imagine there will be apps you can install or access it online with a browser. This will be like Netflix or Disney+.
Thanks for all the info, Mae. I really appreciate you taking the time.

I'll echo this; Mae seems to be doing a better job of making this work for people than HBO.Thanks for all the info, Mae. I really appreciate you taking the time.

I can't believe it, but I'm with Bill. I don't think it's fair that people who have HBO through AT&T will get HBO Max, when I've had HBO as part of my cable package since before AT&T ever got into the cable business. I'm inclined to cancel my HBO subscription altogether.

A huge addition of the Criterion Collection. Wonder if I should then cancel my Criterion Channel subscription...In an effort to get some of your sweet, sweet streaming cash before you eventually burn out (not there yet) HBO is launching HBO Max on May 27.
While Disney+ has The Mandalorian, The Simpsons, plus their own movies, and Netflix has their originals, HBO Max's pitch is that they'll live up to their acronym by offering up a shit ton of films to subscribers willing to plop down the $14.99 monthly fee.
The Verge adds that all of these films won't be available upon the service's launch, but most will. So if you're a cinema buff who appreciates the classics, this seems like a worthy investment.
HBO Max will launch with over 700 movies available from the outset. In addition to the rundown of classics, the catalog will contain DC Universe films, and pretty much every big release that's run on the main channel in recent years.
In addition to iconic films being a part of the package, HBO Max will also be the home to the every episode of Friends, in addition to every series from their own network (makes sense), like Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, etc.
The Verge adds that the service will feature shows from "TBS, TNT, and more." And, like every streaming service, the catalog will expand (and probably contract in a few places) as time goes on.
As for what, specifically, they're briging to the streaming arms race, here's a very long list of films from Warner Bros. and the Criterion Collection that have been confirmed to be making their way(s) to the new service (via The Verge).
seems like everything is going the way of streaming nowadays. I'm planning on finally cutting the cable cord on the launch of HBO Max. I've bought HBO along with a cable subscription for a lot of years, but now with the pandemic, being out of work, and potential cancelling of live sports, I'm axing cable and going all streaming

I wonder if "at launch" means temporarily, and if so, for how long?
