Get a loving PS4 app already, Filmstruck. I'm tired of watching on my laptop and tablet.

Anyone else find Filmstruck overwhelming? It feels like Time Enough At Last but instead of my glasses breaking I'm unable to pick any single film.

It feels like Time Enough At Last but instead of my glasses breaking I'm unable to pick any single film. my watchlist on Filmstruck hovers around 40, dips down to 30, and then back up to 40 again. I meant to work through all of their library and select which ones I wanted to see, but I've never gotten through the whole selection to see even. So I keep nosing into it and blowing up my watchlist again and again.

I'm glad it looks like a lot of stuff is sticking around long term, my watchlist is like 150 things right now. The watchlist within a watchlist is stuff that's listed as leaving soon here and generally that's pretty manageable, but there's no way I'm knocking out the ten hours of nearly-expired Visconti by the 18th.

I think I have over 200 in my Filmstruck queue. Right now, I'm trying to clear up my Blu-ray shelf, then move to Filmstruck. I'm sort of ashamed at not having seen any Ozu besides Tokyo Story. Robert Denby posted:Speaking of this, have they ever announced when The Circus might come to Blu-Ray? I'm going to guess Criterion wants to include the original 1928 version instead of only the 1970s version. While I think Chaplin's recut of The Kid is a superior film, I don't think The Circus has ever been available since the 20s in its original cut. It looks quite stunning on even the old Image DVD for a 1928 film, though. There's also the remaining First National films - The Pilgrim, Shoulder Arms, The Idle Class, Sunnyside, A Day's Pleasure, Pay Day, and A Dog's Life (The first three were edited into a compilation The Chaplin Revue in the 50s); as well as A Woman of Paris and A King in New York. There's also supposed to be a Harold Lloyd talkies set that's been in the works for ages. Also, Universal will be working with The Film Foundation on another series of restorations that includes Destry Rides Again, both the Siodmak and Siegel versions of The Killers, Winchester '73, and My Little Chickadee. The same article also mentioned that Universal has completed The Man Who Laughs and 14 other silents. The restorations used for the Criterion editions of King of Jazz, One-Eyed Jacks, and Shanghai Express (on the Dietrich/Von Sternberg set) are from an earlier partnership.

It's been said of Ozu that he made the same movie over and over, and a lot of them certainly are very similar. I've seen 15 of his movies so far and to be honest I couldn't tell you the plots of most, and it's not that I don't like them. I'm pretty sure that most of the season titles (Late Spring, Early Spring, Early Summer, Late Autumn, The End of Summer, An Autumn Afternoon) have to do with someone getting married - with Late Spring being my favourite (I have seen it six times). One that stood out for me was Tokyo Twilight, because it's unusually dark for an Ozu movie; there's alcoholism, abandoned children, and unwanted pregnancies, and it feels more like a movie by Naruse, whose work is often very dark. (If you don't know where to start with Naruse, just go for When a Woman Ascends the Stairs. Unfortunately none of his movies are available on BD. Neither is Tokyo Twilight, btw.) e: Say, are all movies on Filmstruck in HD?

I'm maybe 15 to 20 minutes into Elevator to the Gallows. I didn't realize this would be a Coen Bros-esque black comedy.

This was exactly why I didn’t watch Criterion on Hulu. Just so many options! When Hulu announced that Criterion was leaving, I got upset but then was like “wait... I literally NEVER used it” I hope Criterion releases Z on BluRay sometime. It’s such a good movie and would be super fitting for the world today.

The more Malick the better, Tree of Life has never really had a nice collector's edition type release before, that I know of. I hope they give it the same packaging as they did with The New World instead of the regular plastic case.

I bet it’ll be Criterion’s first UHD too. This is going to be a must-own since I only saw it on DVD.

When I first saw Tree of Life it was in a double feature with Plan 9 From Outer Space of all things. That was an...odd combination.

I just thought I'd point you all to David Simon's thoughts on Paths of Glory - if only this could've made the disc itself.

That Tree of Life release is one of my most anticipated releases ever. Hope it lands before the sale in Nov (provided BN is still in business). Also, good lord, the new site design is an unnavigable loving mess.

So I realize that this is the one movie in the collection nobody cares about, but does anybody know what happened to Jellyfish Eyes 2? There's a trailer on the first movie's blu-ray, but I can't find any information about it online, not even a release date. However, it was apparently filmed.

And yeah, the new cover art is way worse. The Fox blu uses the same block patchwork as one of the poster designs. edit; bonus features look great, if that matters.
