I'm finding that uBlock Origin works great on one of my free movie sites (TubiTV), but doesn't work at all on another free movie site (Popcornflix). Popcornflix has some of the longest and most annoying ads I've ever seen anywhere. Does anyone know why uBlock Origin doesn't work everywhere, and is there an ad blocker that does (although the concensus of many others is uBlock Origin is one of the best). Thanks in advance for your assistance. EdPS: I understand these sites need ad revenue to survive, but it's sometimes too much annoyance. I wouldn't mind one or two not-overly-long and frequent ads, but these sites pile on so many that it makes the movie virtually unwatchable. I find ads on YouTube movies alot more tolerable, and can often be skipped (no ad blocker necessary).

looks as if Popcornflix only works in USA

Are you watching on your computer, or using an Amazon Firestick? We use a Firestick and it is great, but I don't know if there is anything we can do about the advertisements.

Not just trash talking but many movies today don't have a semblance of a story. More just a series of events. One reason I don't go to see super hero movies which IMO, are just basically a video game on a big screen. What Martin Scorsese referred to as an amusement park ride. Mindless junk that can't keep my attention. I've dozed off multiple times in a theater.

I tend to gravitate toward independent movies. Those which most moviegoers likely don't even know exist. My favorite last year being CODA, which I told everyone was going to win the Oscar for best picture. And when it did win, I doubt most had any idea about the film in the first place. Was just fortunate to catch an Apple TV screening in a theater with an actual audience, though quickly disappeared relegating it to online streaming. Though still powerful.

Some movies are ideally suited to be first experienced in a theater. Denis Villeneuve's DUNE was a perfect example. You couldn't appreciate the full impact of the movie from online streaming that you could from IMAX Laser or Dolby Cinema presentation - saw it 4 times in theater. Kept my attention for all 2hrs 40mins+. AMPAS members must have also highly regarded the movie, as it won more Oscars than any other last year. Though 'Denis Villeneuve', one of my favorite current filmmakers, was conspicuously not nominated. Neither was CODA's Sian Heder. Oscar voters must have mistakenly thought these movies directed themselves? :S
