Is my inability to watch the weekly picks on my """""""external monitor""""""" because of this?

holy moly, what a disaster.

A lot of this is very bad but I really want that Criterion email address promised so fingers crossed this first free month sees some serious fixes and UI updates.

At least from the Android app I can actually play video. First time since their first weekly movie I've been able to get past "External Monitor."

Does the criterion channel have The Rock?

Because I would find it hilarious to make my first watch on that channel The Rock

My first film watched on Filmstruck was, as a matter of principle, BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY.

I am sadly unable to recreate this christening with Criterion Channel. :smith:

I mean more of that Bill and Ted is always seen as dumb movies when they had they some pretty highbrow jokes

Their "Bogus Journey" is a riot of visual invention and weird humor that works on its chosen sub-moronic level, and on several others as well, including some fairly sophisticated ones.

I take it the lot of you had a similar experience with a movie magazine lol

I'd recommend it if you're looking for something that's understated and without much action.

Yeah, it's a lot of dialogue and driving around without much physically occurring. It's one of those where if you're inclined to think you'll love it, you almost certainly will.

Yeah, Cinemax has a lot of really terrific content under its banner but it's gotten so little love from above that not even the Android app has casting capabilities and no Fire or PS4 apps exist so unless I torrent everything or buy Cinemax again through Hulu or Amazon, I have no way to get it on my tv. Really was thinking HBO Max would remedy this because why wouldn't they just throw it in and live fully in the year 2020? But uhhh
