Raxivace posted:Yeah. Most of the rest of the film works as a kind of straightforward Hitchcockian thriller, but that epilogue caught me off-guard in a way that a film hasn’t in a while. Isn't the framing device set up at the beginning, it's just easy to forget about it during the main event? I dunno it's been a couple of years now

I know you’re going stalker and there’s nothing wrong with that but I’d take Nashville and maaaaybe Ugetsu over it honestly. Nah just Nashville but definitely on that one

Samuel Clemens posted:You're a more open viewer than I am. Ordet is one of my favourite films, but every time I rewatch it, it takes me about half an hour before I manage to adjust to its idiosyncratic style. I just really like human faces. If a movie has a cast with a lot of interesting looking people (and I don’t mean beautiful) and it shoots them well I’ll probably like it everything else notwithstanding

FitFortDanga posted:Umm, this looks pretty suspect. A lot of titles missing from that list, including presumably huge sellers like Beastie Boys, Punch-Drunk Love, a lot of the Wes Anderson, Chasing Amy, Michael Bay, et cetera. Also, Life Aquatic, Fear and Loathing, and Mulholland Drive made ZERO dollars? I don't think so, fellas. This looks like meaningless data to me. Yeah the idea that none of Wes Anderson’s movies are at the top makes me figure this is bunk data

Origami Dali posted:There's some kind of bug where when you add an extra from a movie to your watchlist, it adds the movie itself to your list, even if it's already in your list. So you can have multiple listings for Virgin Suicides in your watchlist, and I'm not sure if they're linked to the extras or what. Yeah icons look trash and the interface is weak (but merely average by standards of streaming services) but who cares with this library?

Franchescanado posted:The RokuTV app works, but there's no way to access any extras/special features that aren't showcased on the front page. The only way to watch them through the RokuApp was to add the extras to my list via iOS app or the desktop app and then scroll through My List to watch them. I wondered if I was missing something on the extras

The new default is the USA library, and you can click the little flag to switch to the Canadian library and back.

sciencehuh posted:Oh god, I know. That weirdness comes straight from Criterion. There's also 320 films with "United States" as their country, and 1 with "Usa". Feels like a lot of their site was put together by data entry interns. Not sure how I'll fix this, but I probably should. I like the “Taiwan, province of China” vs “Taiwan”

Magic Hate Ball posted:Not to undersell their capabilities, but Criterion is essentially a boutique video label and launching the channel, even in the state that it’s in, was probably a massive undertaking. They also clearly bought and repurposed part of it, hence every movie and its extras being labeled as seasons and episodes

Origami Dali posted:Same exact poo poo happened to me while watching The Big Heat. Happened to me with terror of mechagodzilla this morning, don’t think it’s tied to certain videos Edit: I did notice that the minute tracker does not include anything after the error, so you can’t fast forward into it and the movies appear to be several minutes shorter than they are. I was on roku app, which played nightfall and dragon inn just fine, and I watched experiment in terror on iPhone with no issues DeimosRising fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Apr 13, 2019 |

Cloks posted:I loved some aspects of So Dark the Night but man that ending was Psycho levels of this isn't how any of this works. The collections are going to rotate/expand, so if you just watch stuff from those it'll be a bit like one of those curated services. I actually really like that, i never do the netflix thing where you just endlessly scroll through poo poo, pick nothing and then get bored and move on

Raxivace posted:Mostly I just find it pretty meandering. For personal reasons too, the way some characters in the film talk about the kid who likes trains hits a little too close to home for me since my little brother is mentally retarded. It’s definitely meandering, by design of course as it’s really a series of vignettes with a frame story but I guess if you don’t like that structure you don’t. Obviously the latter makes sense too and isn’t something I could speak to. I was thinking you meant something more specific about the look or narrative of the film, I don’t really see the distinction between how Dodes’ka-den portrays post war social structure and how high and low does that. Both are highly stylized portrayals of more or less “realistic” social relations.

immortalyawn posted:Haxan gets a lot of mentions online, it is what it is, but the amount of attention is undeserved. It's akin to that moronic Bella in the witch elm story, the film Begotten, or the word "intriguing", not in that it's annoying or bad, but it's unjustified hype and attention is just that. The hype around the word intriguing is unjustified

DC Murderverse posted:i thought i wasn't gonna buy anything this sale because there are so many things I'm waiting to buy that come out between now and the summer sale, but i am weak and will buy a few. I've decided I want to start actively looking for female directors because the only Criterion I've bought to this point by a female director is Virgin Suicides, so I added a bunch to my wishlist. I think this time I'm getting Harlan County USA and Jeanne Dielman because those were the ones that struck me the most. I'm also getting Paris is Burning, which has a female director but that was more happenstance than anything else. All three of those are loving great so good call
