Also it’d automatically add the movie to your radarr instance

It’s been a while since I’ve sailed the high seas. How difficult is it to get subtitle tracks these days? I’ve gotten used to having them on everything.
Most things have it and what doesn’t, OpenSubltitles, an open source subtitle resource, does. It’s just linked right into my Jellyfin. I haven’t had to manually find subtitles in years…
You will probably want to have a passing familiarity with Docker.
Can it not just be for movies, but for food places as well?
We made a backup - a taqueria. If 5 options get axed we have tacos. No regrets!
A huevo!
I just say “lets go to that place you like” and see what they reply with.
“Okay!”
Now you’re fucked.
Can you put it in the map, my phone is acting weird.
“Can you book an Uber?”
Then you just drive to the closest cantina with margaritas
What was that place called again?
It exists, it’s called Handshake
Not to be confused with the Handshake app for Jobs/Internships
Also not to be confused with handjobs.
Or Shake Shack.
“Handshake | Let’s Agree”
Apparently it is pretty rubbish at connecting people.
Could be. I’ve used it only once, it worked fine then, but I’m not really in a group that needs tools like this on a regular basis.
Then you add it to the pile of movies you don’t have time to watch together
Found the married person with kids
I’m lucky if I get an hour a day to myself outside of work.
I find i can get alone time if I just skip sleep!
One person picks three (movies, restaurants, events, etc.) that they would be happy with.
The other person selects one out of the three.
Alternate.
We tried that. My wife said my hours of research into restaurants was “low effort” so now she picks three and I choose
You pick by aggregating multiple factors and weight them by probability.
She picks by vibe.
We do one more layer, so it’s called 5-3-1.
Person A picks five options.
Person B eliminates two of them.
Person A selects one of the three remaining.
We alternate who gets to pick the five.
The problem is the catalog is functionally infinite. How can you feel like you’re making a good decision if you don’t exhaust a category?
You don’t have to make a good decision. It’s 20-90 minutes of your life, not a fucking career.
The problem is the catalog is functionally infinite.
It narrows down significantly by region, for restaurants, and by time frame, for events.
Movies as a bit trickier, but you can ballpark that by genre and maybe “new releases” / “<streaming service>” / “criterion collection”
If you’ve got a big enough pool, you’ll get plenty of crossover. “You just matched with a person who wants to go to a Knicks game, watch a horror movie, and dine out at Sopo Korean Eats” is going to get plenty of hits in Manhattan.
I thought we are just matching with a spouse or sig other on what to watch next?
Ah, I thought it was a dating thing
It probably works either way, but I want the local version.
My wife and I read like 4 baby name lists out loud in the car for our second kid but had much better luck with an app we found that had like 4k names, each person reads and swipes, and it shows you the ones you agree on.
Maybe it’s a hammer and nail thing but it sounds good to me for choosing the shared “to watch” list.
Awesome, more isolation.
We used an app like this to pick a baby name
I just have a massive list of movies and shows I want to watch, and I run it by my wife. She usually just tells me to pick one. Then the burden is mine again.
Let me introduce you to
shuf | head 1. This is literally what picks the next movie for us. If either of us are unhappy, we just remove the movie from the list and try again.
This would never work. We enjoy a lot of the same stuff, but sometimes we have to justify certain movies to each other. Like “The Cabin in the Woods”. She thought it was classic horror and would never swipe right of her own volition. Likewise, you think I woulda swept right on “Twilight”? OF CORSE I WOULD! Swipe right on every movie I see cuz I love her and we watch whatever she wants.
But this way we never watch my movies
Needs a third option then. Swipe right for “would watch”, left for “wouldn’t watch”, but also swipe up for “I strongly endorse and believe you’d enjoy it if you give it a chance”.
Maybe also a fourth. Swipe down for “absolutely not, I know you really love this movie but I just can’t watch more Jason Statham.”
Double tap for “I see everything with Jason Statham just on principle”
Yes and a genre filter, please.
Given the age of thirst post, I’m pretty sure the app already exists.
I’ve actually thought of this as a new dating service. Too bad I’m lazy.
Get after it someone who needs an SO.
So, basically Mojo Upgrade, but for movies instead of sex?
Good Lord - even couples are no longer able to talk to each other. They need an app?
Oh to be young, back when the world was simple.
When you’ve got 2 kids that go to bed between half an hour and an hour before you and every other night you can use it for watching a movie or a tv show, how much of that time do you want to spend cruising 5 streaming platforms to pick a movie? That’s easily a half hour wasted.
Instead, as we alternate putting kids to bed, the awake parent could be screening movies and match from the previous day review. Meaning we could spend our time actually WATCHING said movie.
We can talk when the kids are awake, but we cannot flip through the Netflix catalog at the same time. Either kids are watching the TV or we don’t want them watching the TV, in either case you can’t use the TV.
Edit:
Go one step further and allow a spouse to preselect from movies and TV currently being watched they would watch for tonight and I will pay for a subscription!
The app “Queue” does this, as well as the other 50 mentioned in this thread
