90% of that collection of movies suck. True, an occasisonal good movie does come on, but not enough to justify the sky high cost.
Dan, for the record, I don't give a flying **** what awards a movie has won. Awards don't make a movie good. What makes a movie good is my own personal opinion of it. If I like to watch it, its good, regardless of whether its won an award or not. In fact, many of the movies I like have no awards at all. So if you purchased those channels to see award winning movies, that's naieve. An award doesn't mean you'll actually find the movie enjoyable. It means the academy did. Also, most of the movies on those channels I've seen over and over again. One thing those channels severely lack is variety. It seems like the same movies are coming on time, after time, after time. I swear, when I had HBO a few years ago, it seemed like some movies came on five times each day.
And yes, Sopranos is defunct Dan. Defunct (in this case) means no longer in production. You can watch HBO till you die, but you'll never see another new episode of Soprano's. And I believe the same holds true for Curb.
If I want a collection of mostly terrible movies, played time after time, or want to watch repeats of shows, I'll just buy the movies or shows themselves once instead of paying a monthly, never-ending fee to see them repeatedly. Or, I can see award winning movies on such channels as TNT, TBS, TCM, occassionally on the four local channels, ABC Family, you get the idea. There are no shortage of other options for watching good, award winning movies.
