https://twitter.com/Criterion/status/1109098719402737666 Looks like The Criterion Channel got all the original content produced for Filmstruck, plus they have films from the major studios... just in the first month, films from Warner (Mildred Pierce and True Stories), MGM (Blue Velvet), Sony (Punch-Drunk Love, Easy Rider), Paramount (Rosemary's Baby), and Universal (Do the Right Thing and Being John Malkovich).

If you have Amazon Prime, everyone should see Cast a Deadly Spell Pretty fun made-for-HBO movie from the early 90s. Fred Ward stars as a detective in late-40s Los Angeles where magic and witches are real. Also has Julianne Moore and David Warner, directed by Martin Campbell. It can be a little cheap-looking at times, but I admire how it totally runs with the concept in full earnest.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:There should be a place to complain about how there are still movies, big studio movies, that you simply cannot legally stream on the internet in the year 2019. Two examples are the schlocky Pacific Heights and the absolutely beautiful Topsy-Turvy. They're not available in the catalog of any streaming service and you can't even buy or rent them anywhere. Topsy-Turvy will probably be on The Criterion Channel eventually since it was up on Filmstruck, even if just for a limited time. Pacific Heights is part of the Morgan Creek library, which just recently moved from Warner Bros. to Sony, so that might be why it's been absent. Likewise, the Regency library (Heat, L.A. Confidential, Once Upon a Time in America) recently moved to Fox from WB.

FYI, those with The Criterion Channel will want to check out the Columbia Noir before the films leave on June 30. Every single one has been a lot of fun, though I skipped a few I've already seen. My Name is Julia Ross (1945, Joseph H. Lewis) - Tense, relentless "gaslighting" noir. Barely over an hour. So Dark the Night (1946, Joseph H. Lewis) - Kind of falls apart at the end, but still a clever dream-like noir. Also only an hour long. In a Lonely Place (1950, Nicholas Ray) - Bogart as a washed-up screenwriter caught up in a murder. One of Bogie's best performances and Gloria Grahame is amazing, too. The Big Heat (1953, Fritz Lang) - Essential noir with Glenn Ford and Gloria Grahame, plus Lee Marvin as a vile heavy. Human Desire (1954, Fritz Lang) - Another good noir with Ford and Grahame, remake of Renoir's Le bete humaine. Drive a Crooked Road (1954, Richard Quine) - Outstanding noir with Mickey Rooney as a lonely mechanic. Also has Kevin McCarthy as a delightfully evil heavy. Nightfall (1956, Jacques Tourneur) - Interesting noir with Aldo Ray that plays with non-linear plotting. Rudy Bond is an evil sonofabitch in this and gets quite an amazing fate.

Can't believe how amazing stuff like the theatrical cartoon shorts look and the 4K HDR versions of The Sword in the Stone and The Black Cauldron. They only released a single volume Blu-ray of HD versions of some Mickey shorts, but there's some quite stunning versions of 30s Silly Symphonies up. Not just looking good, the sound remastering on stuff like The Three Little Pigs is impressive.

Taima posted:Hey I just have a question about this Disney+ stuff. From what I've heard from insiders, Disney has always been opposed to much work on home video besides new releases and a handful of their bigger titles. It took Roy Disney and Leonard Maltin pleading to let them do the Walt Disney Treasures DVDs in the 2000s and they have zero interest in porting them to Blu-ray despite having 4K masters of every single cartoon. It's really strange because there's a ton of stuff on Disney+ that's not even available on Blu-ray and still ancient early format DVDs. Like The Black Cauldron is still DVD-only, though at least a 16x9 version instead of the original letterboxed disc, all while a 4K HDR master exists.

Inspector Hound posted:Is there a place that has a good chunk of episodes or is it still a "look around for bootlegs" situation Actually, they're only 15 episodes away from having the entire series in-print on DVD.

The movie's already made, it's available. You can either watch it or not. This doesn't look like my cup of tea, but sometimes it's better to let controversial films be. What I'm worried about is this being used an excuse to justify suppressing other films. First one that comes to mind is Celine Sciamma's Tomboy, which features a 10 year old at the central character. Was that film being exploitive? I thought it was a brilliant film, but I did acknowledge that it went places that may be tough considering the ages depicted.
