MoviePass Shuts Down, With Parent Company Citing Failure to Raise Funds https://t.co/TDLkWNUVu7 — Variety (@Variety) September 13, 2019 MoviePass, the business by Helios and Matheson that would be our film savior after slashing its initial price from nearly 50$ for Unlimited Movies to a mere 9.99$. Alas, the dream has died. The change drew a flood of new customers - and left competitors scrambling for ways to implement their own movie subscription service. As of this writing, AMC Stubs is a runaway success, and Regal Unlimited is still in its infancy. I have neither, as both plans arrived after our theaters were shuttered from Hurricane Michael. The AMC will not reopen, with no word on the Regal. The app, from secondhand reports, seemed glitchy, with poor location-realizing services.

The posters were just too obnoxious, I couldn't subject you good people and myself to that. This is nice though. From IMDB. I am going to refrain from pointing out things like “Why are some emojis available immediately but others aren’t? Do emoji die?” where I can. That’s not tech, that’s “Who did this, and why aren’t they in jail?” (And that’s sarcasm). In case you were wondering, yes, it does have the same issue of characters from one app going into others without any ill effects that Ralph Breaks the Internet had, but it’s a movie. You do what you have to.

Disney's Ralph Breaks The Internet , the 57th entry into the Disney Animated Canon, was released on Wednesday, November 21st, 2018. I saw it - Loved it more than the original, wanted to watch it with the mind of a Network Admin  instead of turning my brain off all the way. While more technically sound than I expected, there are a few picks here and there.
