Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 My Apple TV HBO Now app also turned into HBO Max too, but it didn't retain my list so I had to rebuild it. Oh well, not much of a gripe if that's the worst that could happen. The amount of content available at launch, like @Raziel said, is really impressive. I was already happy to spend the $15 for HBO Now, but the added content makes it even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I had no intention whatsoever of getting yet another app. My first thought after seeing all that was on it? "Motherfucker!" I need to see what monthly thing I can cancel so I can justify this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 The TCM section is so in-depth I'm having a hard time envisioning how Criterion Channel is going to justify its continued existence; if I hadn't been a charter member and hadn't just re-upped, I'm not sure I would now. And between the two services, it also crosses off practically every CC release I was thinking of buying on Blu-ray. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind fo sucks though that its the only DCU show there. I was hoping YJ and Stargirl might be on as well. DCU isn't available on the PS4 so I tend to be forced to watch it on my crappy computer.

And between the two services, it also crosses off practically every CC release I was thinking of buying on Blu-ray. I read some discussion about this very thing earlier today. Keep in mind I haven’t seen HBO Max at all. The main points were that Criterion offers better curation, special features, and has a huge back catalogue if you want to go beyond their big features (ie their spine numbers). If those things don’t matter much, probably HBO is the better choice. There was speculation that Criterion has longer term streaming rights on some titles, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited to add: the specific comment I read was that “The films they have are to complete the deal they had with film struck. Once that deal runs out they will no longer be on hbo max.” Grain of salt, and all that. Edited May 28, 2020 by Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the middle of Westworld right now, so I can't go back and look, but if I remember right, it had some weird titles in there like Armageddon or some such shit. Armageddon is in fact a classic so I kind of understand why it'd be placed there. Anyway, this is my favorite streaming service to date as far as movies go anyway. I don't think it's perfect by any means, there is still a lot of stuff they need to add but the movie collection alone is fucking crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm still assuming their other streaming services get folded into this buuut who knows.. I would love a combo deal like Disney+ has even though I only subscribe to Disney+ and do not have HULU/ESPN+ I'd be down with some sort of HBO MAX/DC Universe combo instead of paying full price for both.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, any 90's action/sci-fi movie could be considered as such. I don't really think Armageddon is classic but it is something I really like. It's no Bad Boys or The Rock but what is. I still need to catch Armageddon REWATCHABLES.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Uh, having it in the same tab as GONE WITH THE WIND is a weird move, but okay, if you think it's a classic, you do you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Gone with the Wind is a trash movie. It's super racist, glorifies the Confederacy and is super racist. On top of being boring and badly paced. And Scarlett O'Hara is a terrible character, she starts the movie as a miserable person, doesn't grow or change and ends the movie as a miserable person. I'm giving the points to Michael Bay on this one. Edited May 28, 2020 by elizium 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm pretty sure, taking a look at the full TCM stuff, that there are additional "HBO" labels on some of those "classics". I'm suspecting that anything on the HBO NOW side of the house older than 10 years got lumped into the TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 “Classic” is an adjective here in the same way it used in the label “classic rock,” e.g. anything over 15 years old. It is not a reference to quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s terrific. Though there must be a difference between Prime US and Canada, cuz this says that Michele Soavi’s THE CHURCH and STAGEFRIGHT are on there, and I can’t find ‘em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 We’re doing the trial for Apple+. We’re in the middle of Rob McElhenney’s show Mythical Quest: Raven’s Banquet. I’m not a gamer so I didn’t expect to be that into it, but it’s remarkably funny. The highlight for me is F. Murray Abraham playing a faux erudite alcoholic fantasy author who writes video game cut scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Armageddon (a movie I hate with a fiery passion) is in the TCM section because it got a CC release for some godforsaken reason. (Though I've heard there is an amazing commentary track where Affleck just trashes the movie for the entire run time.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) That is a true act of snark from them right there. (the release itself, not the commentary) Edited June 4, 2020 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 HBOMAX has removed Gone with the wind due to the racial protests, "temporarily". It will return after they had some bullshit thing about it being "of its time" or somesuch. Fuck that shit. I know its my white privilege showing but what's next?
