![]() I own way too many DVDs and blu-rays (and laserdiscs and at one time, Beta tapes) to not have the collecting bug, yet the fact is, many viewings are one offs by necessity. Both FilmStruck and disc can live together. I'd much rather have access to more films than less films. But not *everything* can be released on disc. and the Criterion Collection and both companies are still releasing hundreds of Blu-Rays and DVDs every year. ![]() ![]() The majority of films on FilmStruck come from Warner Bros. I think any negativity regarding the service comes from the assumption that it's a replacement. True, but I think FilmStruck and physical media can co-exist just fine. Wouldn't it be a shame if the 4K restoration of The Man Who Laughs never made it to disc, but was only available for streaming for a while and then disappeared? I will never have cable or satellite again, and it's proven especially in the last few months to be a more than adequate replacement.Īh, but one person's ephemeral viewing experience is another person's indispensable item. ![]() It's sort of like my new Blockbuster, an online film festival and a new TCM all in one. I think they're featuring the doc Hitler's Hollywood later this year with a curated selection of films. Saw some really fascinating Continental Films like Christian-Jaque's L'Assassinat du père Noël. One of the best series in this vein was a series of French Films during the Occupation they had earlier this year. But it's a great way to see films I would otherwise not ever have a chance to see. ![]()
