A Disney+ Review, From a Disney Aficionado

It's finally here!

18
Carson Armstrong

It seemed too good to be true! When Disney announced its' own streaming network with all of the classic shows and movies we all love, we thought it was too good to be true. Obviously, I had to sign up. The day that subscriptions were allowed, I signed up for an account with my family. So we did our waiting until yesterday, November 12th 2019. Finally, it is here!

Yesterday after classes, my boyfriend and I spent almost an hour and a half perusing the selections offered. So many classics from the vault, adventure packed Marvel movies, calming nature documentaries from National Geographic, and even Disney Channel shows and originals! If that wasn't good enough though, they also gave us a variety of DIsney+ originals (I'm most excited to watch What If and The World According to Jeff Goldblum).

Yes, this streaming service is extremely innovative and I am grateful for its invention, I also had a few complaints about the network. While they are minor and I will not be giving up my subscription any time soon because of it, I would like to see them fixed in the near future.

First, there are subtitles that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn off. I don't know if I am just dense or if this is just a setting that cannot be changed, but I cannot figure it out. I know opinions on subtitles are mixed but, as I am one of the people that prefers their shows without them, I need them off. I would like at least clarification from Disney on this feature. Preferably, I would like this problem fixed. But until then, if anyone knows how to turn them off and wants to help me, please let me know.

Additionally, they don't have ~all~ the movies. There are some Marvel movies that are still on Netflix and they didn't include every Disney Channel show (hello Sonny with a Chance?!). This is a super picky critique, I recognize this. I know that they are adding more content as time goes on. Let's just see what content gets added before I recognize this concern as a full on complaint.

All in all, I am very excited to keep watching (yes I said keep). There are a ton of movies from my childhood on this service and I am so excited to see what I haven't discovered yet.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
