I'm excited about the Akerman collection. A lot of those were in a collection on Filmstruck and I didn't manage to watch them all. Now I can get caught up and then some.

Looking forward to seeing the Akerman films on the Criterion Channel, I haven't seen any of them

Just did a Targets rewatch. Quite something.

(the newly added Akerman films)

noticed that Synonyms is on that list, would recommend it

looking forward to seeing Zombi Child

I like some of that guy's other stuff.

in Synonyms Tom Mercier is both really relatable and strange/unknowable, I think it’s one of the more interesting first-time performances I have seen

I don't listen to many commentary tracks because I don't make a lot of time to rewatch films, but the commentary for The Limey is interesting and hilarious, with screenwriter Lem Dobbs grousing at Soderbergh's choices of what to cut from his script, and Soderbergh mostly just taking it, occasionally pushing back.

anyone experienced/solved this? watched Anna Christie yesterday, can't see shit today! It sucks. Keep it simple, i'm a moron here.

https://gizmodo.com/the-criterion-channel-should-be-my-favorite-streaming-p-1834150845

I've had a good experience with the iOS app. I think it has better developer support than some of the other stuff they're doing.

Limey commentary is a true classic of the form

Morbs, are you watching on a browser window, or on a tv with a streaming device like Roku or Apple TV? Need some more details. Thanks to HDCP Chrome on Mac won't work for playback, but Safari works fine.

I'm also having trouble! Glad I wasn't alone.

I use Chrome on my Dell laptop.

Just checked the Criterion Channel facebook group and apparently this is cropping up for a number of users. Alfred, do you watch on the laptop screen or push the video to a tv with an HDMI cable? It seems the cable and the tv have to be HDCP-compliant.

I push the video to a TV from a laptop, and it will only work if I set the remote to the applicable option. Even if the connection is plugged in, Criterion won't play the film if I have the remote set to TV or DVD.

Normally I plug the laptop into the TV with an HDMI cable, but the streaming ain't working on laptop-only either.

TV aint an option in the hospital.

ie keep it simpler

im quitting if this doesn't resolve in 4 days

If you haven’t already, definitely try using a different browser

^^^

different from...?

Different from whatever browser you're using.

Morbs, do you know what the program you use to access the web is called? Might be Chrome, Edge, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox ...

Chrome - https://www.google.com/chrome/
Firefox - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Opera - https://www.opera.com/

All free and fairly easy to get running if you have a few minutes.

I just got it to run on IE.

Anyone caught the first Maren Ade feature?

https://www.criterionchannel.com/leaving-may-31/videos/the-forest-for-the-trees

Yes, it's very good! Funny and sad, all about loneliness, I really enjoyed it

I am stoked as fuuuuck abt this Cheryl Dunye program, everyone should watch The Watermelon Woman

I downloaded Firefox and it's fine. I'd wanted to avoid downloading another browser.

Whoever somewhere that one time was saying they'd never seen any Atom Egoyan ... now's your chance!

The Naked Spur rocks.

Always more interested in what titles are leaving at the end of the month, tbh, as those are more likely to direct my immediate viewing.

I recently saw "Man of the West" and did not dig it, so wary of wading back into Mann westerns.

the leaving-June-30 list is nuts! so overwhelming I only managed to watch Foxy Brown lol

Was just looking at it, trying to get a handle on it. Lots on Luis Buñuel and Jean Arthur.

Douglas Sirk, Fritz Lang, Jane Campion, LQ Jones, Saul Bass,...

Tom, delete the Criterion Channel now, please!

Godard going away after this month.

...sort of like he did at the end of Faces/Places?

finally caught up with Between the Lines today, which had a little too much Stephen Collins and Bruno Kirby, but all those early Joan Micklin Silver films are good.

wait a minute, Redd, i only see 3 JLG films listed as leaving out of the 26 they currently host.

I'm glad you have the Channel now, Morbs, I always figured you'd find it a great service if/when you finally got it.

Watched Blood on the Moon last night, Akerman's D'Est today...still trying to decide what to watch tonight.

xp under the Leaving July 31 tab I see 14 JLGs... https://www.criterionchannel.com/leaving-july-31

The rubrics for Directed by Jean-Luc Godard says 22 films in the collection but maybe some already went away.

Oh looks like all twenty two are there.

A Walk on the Wild Side, which was part of a Saul Bass series also going away, with music by Mack David - Happy Birthday!- and Elmer Bernstein.

well i've seen all on there cept Le Gai Savoir. xp
