Title: HBO and Cinemax - Free Preview Weekend
Post by: Squid on May 15, 2020, 08:20:31 AM
Free Preview Begins Today: May 15, 2020 (Friday) and ends at the end of May 17, 2020 (Sunday)


I know this is for Optimum customers.

I got this info from an email my cable provider sent me.  I don't know if any other providers are involved.  I can't find any more info online.

It seems most of the major providers are offering this free preview :

Verizon FIOS, AT&T U-Verse, and DirecTV will be showing a free preview of HBO and Cinemax May 14th to the 17th.

There hasn't been much of interest lined up but I did record "Joker" last night and will watch it later.

Let me know what you think of it!

I also have it recorded, but I've been watching the oldies like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) ... and now have moved up to the 80's - Willow, The NeverEnding Story, Legend, etc.

Ok, I'll let you know.  I didn't watch it last night, maybe I will tonight.

I watched JOKER last night.  It's VERY dark.  I don't want to get too deep on this but I think it's a much needed commentary on mental illness and the attention it gets in our health care system.

Ok, I'm not really in to those kind of movies. I appreciate the head up though!

I finished Journey to the center of the earth movie the other night and it was really good for it's age. I think The Great Outdoors (with John Candy / Dan Aykroyd) is next on the list.

Yeah, I have to say I didn't "enjoy" the movie.  I would like to see Journey to the Center of the Earth, too.  I remember it being good for its time period.  I saw it so long ago.

If you don't mind spending a few bucks and watching it on your computer - Google Play has the movie for $4.
