Hey, don't scoff, I'm sure the Armageddon dividends paid for Criterion editions of a bunch of those weird black and white mime movies that you and like two other people have ever even heard of.

I'm cool with that me droog as long as there aren't any dumb words on the screen that I have to read. If I wanted to read a book, I'd enroll in Nerd University.

Anyone using Filmstruck? Any thoughts on it? I'm probably going to sign up for a trial and see how it goes. Already have two streaming subs and access to some Criterion through my local library, but am very curious about how it is...

Just saw the other thread for it :( Will re-post there (disregard!)
FEBRUARY: The Before Trilogy; Woman On The Verge of A Nervous Breakdown; Mildred Pierce; Cameraperson; and The Tree of Wooden Clogs (for real this time).

ugh @ Criterion being yanked from Hulu several months before Filmstruck has their shit together enough to release a Roku app
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 15 November 2016 22:50 (seven years ago) link
Filmstruck's a little slower than mubi, as in, I have a few more loading hiccups throughout the movie, especially in the evening.
I had to open another browser and turn off adblock to make their merchant software work. Their account status and login stuff is confusing.
The stream breaks after a few hours (?) of inactivity, so you can't pick up where you left off. You have to check to see what minute you're at and reload.
The library is big, but there's no easy way to sort through it, e.g. by decade, director, actor, country of origin, or genre. There are some duplicates in the library (there'll be a Criterion and non-Criterion version side by side), and it's not clear where the "extras" are. I didn't see a lot of movies in the Turner Classic Movies vein. I thought it was a TCM-related service, but the catalog is more ostentatiously "prestigious" than TCM's.
The picture is good on my laptop. The subtitles are left-justified black bars with white text. I'd like to have better subtitle options like Viki or Drama Fever have, but what Filmstruck has now is usable.

I think they are...Wenders usually licenses his films to Criterion when the rights revert back to him. (Supposedly the long cut of Until The End of The World is coming once Warners license (which prevented that cut from being issued in the US) expires).

Criterion Forum?
Some definitely check out: Janus Films is fixing to tour the Marseille trilogy; Terry Zwigoff said Ghost World was coming; Jeanne Dielman got a resto recently, and Criterion hasn't done a bluray.
― "I must believe that my charm was not in my ass." (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 31 December 2016 21:42 (seven years ago) link
I thought the Jeanne Dielman resto was was for the OG criterion? did they rly do another one in the last couple of years???
rly rly rly super hoping this is some I Am Cuba thing w/ the flag

I downloaded the filmstruck app to see what they have in their catalog (not subscribing right now)
AND STALKER IS THERE AS A CRITERION RELEASE
it doesn't let you preview, maybe I'll do the free trial now just to see how it looks

They just added Me And You And Everyone We Know on Filmstruck as well.

I can't find the info now, but Janus sponsored a 2 or 4K restoration that they toured around the time Akerman died. The original DVD (from 2009) was slightly controversial among fanboys because it was DVD-only when they were starting to do simultaneous Blu/Standard releases, and there were some reports that they used too much compression squeezing the main feature onto one disc, resulting in image issues on higher-end playback systems.
