piranesi Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Good news! I was worried about the "tiered pricing" aspect of having to pay for Filmstruck and then having Criterion as an add-on. But the combined total is less than a commercial-free Hulu subscription and seems worth it once the libraries are fleshed out. And a yearly subscription works out to about 9.00 for both. - note though: No Roku channel for now. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I guess I shouldn't complain because we use someone else's Hulu password, so I haven't been paying for it anyway. Another streaming service on top of paying for Netflix, the Network, and top tier cable though? Time to have the cord cutting fight with the wife again.

SlingTV is actually really cost effective if you still want to keep some kind of cable element. Blend that with a local channel digital converter box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Last I checked the collection is still on Hulu. Is it just going to get pulled the day Filmstruck goes live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Its scheduled to disappear from HULU on November 11. I don't think it's triggered by Filmstruck starting, but that's been the fixed date for awhile and now Filmstruck is pushed back to then so they can work out issues apparently with the registration process.

Execproducer Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Signed up for this immediately. Watched Tiger Bay. Two minor buffering issues which I suppose is not bad for a new streaming service. Farewell, Fandor. Hasta la vista, Hulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Going with Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, this sale go-around. Dearing on some double-dips, like replacing my Ameigo copies of Lady Snowblood and LW&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Oh, you have got to be shitting me.... Pan's Labrynth, Cronos, and The Devil's Backbone. The question of "What do I want for my birthday?" just got really complicated. That box art screams to be a poster hanging on the wall in my man cave.

I was going to ask for cash to put towards an XBone but LWC comes out on the 8th and now I have the GDT triple shot to consider. I thought that the super fucking awesome cover art for the Pan's / Cronos / Backbone set would push it to the end of my decision tree the top until I saw this. Fuck.. The art work from my favorite Criterions never seems to make to poster form. Probably a blessing because I would send them all of my money.

Curt McGirt Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Shockingly, I've never seen any of those three after following Del Toro's career in print since Cronos came out and Fangoria first talked about him. Should I put this on my Xmas list? And if your SO wouldn't like something as classy and awesome as that box art on the wall to display for polite company, J.T... well, I don't know what to say... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not notice it when I was initially going through the set. I would not go so far as to call it a poster, however. Might be something I'd throw up on my fridge if it didn't clash with my Sophia Loren pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the added bonus of having a sort of flirty conversation with the cute chick at BN about being a Criterion collector and buying OOPs and such. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eBayed the only OOP I had earlier this year (Chungking Express) because I needed the cash. It's sad. I like how much I've grown my collection, but I'm starting to view what I currently have as a quick assett too. Like, I would want to avoid doing it, but if I ever needed like a quick $400 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
