BFI Player and Mubi have a lot of good stuff.
Friends around me IRL sometimes seem annoyed that I’ve never watched a particular show that they love.
They seem to think that I have oodles of unallocated free time, that I spend my days just staring at the crack in the wallpaper for hours on end.
But I have a full time job, and my free time is already allocated, between family time and dvds and books and video games and motorbike trips and the musical instrument I am learning to play, and I already do not have enough time for all these things I love to do.
I'd have gotten rid of Netflix a long time ago if it wasn't for the documentaries. Though most Netflix original films are pretty much written off unless they're from an established name, in fairness.
Definitely not the vibe I've gotten at all, as there are lots of turds and duds that both companies put out, that are despised and trashed by essentially everyone who sees them. Netflix puts out more bad than good at times, I'd say.
Get both.
Only true movie fans will get all streaming services. ;)
I'm basically ashamed to admit we have Netflix, Prime, Crave+HBO, Disney+, and AppleTV+. Crave+HBO came with my internet service, though, and AppleTV+ came with my phone. And we've had Prime for awhile. /embarrassed
If I didn't have the free ones, we'd probably get rid of Prime, but that's it. Crave+HBO is great, and I want to keep Disney for future Star Wars content, and Apple for their 1st party content as well.
That's very reasonable and I agree! I'm the same. The cinema experience gets a bad rap, even on these boards, but it remains undefeated as far as I'm concerned. Even if I had the biggest TV/Projector Screen imaginable, it wouldn't have come close to the atmosphere of my first time watches of Casino Royale or Skyfall with 300-400 other excited people.
I don't think that's how it works.
collectors edition ;)
Basically all big budget blockbusters will have to probably depart release dates for the first two thirds of this year at least.
Godzilla VS Kong release date moved up to March 26, in theatres and HBO Max..
If we look at the way WB are handling the DC franchise (poor) and the fact they didn't talk to filmmakers about moving to streaming before announcing it - "excited" isn't the word I'd use. WB has some serious issues right now! That said - they might be one of the better choices even so - I shudder to think how bland Disney might make the Bond franchise.
Oh, creatively, I'd be worried for sure. I only meant in the sense that NTTD would be with a studio that seemingly has no problem taking a loss on a flagship blockbuster, and one that is also home to Christopher Nolan.
I was just thinking out loud - it's not going to happen. I don't know what is happening at MGM, but with the way things are I'd be very surprised if anyone bought it anytime soon.
Reading a lot of interesting things about the Godzilla vs Kong announcement. It seems that it's a very complicated scenario, considering there's two studios involved in the film's production and the one who invested the most stands to make the least.
Well, in that case MGM must sell it's shares it has in EON. But please not Disney.
I'd calculate, on balance, that most of the delays in the series have come from MGM, not Eon, starting with the long 1989-1995 stretch.
WB have had a few misteps, but overall i think they handle their DC movies pretty well.In the last few years they have had great success with Aquaman,Shazam,and Joker.
Interestingly, the Chelsea Cinepolis on West 23rd street here in Manhattan (NYC) still has their “Coming Soon” NTTD poster on outside of the theater. January 2020……good times!!
