Yesterday, I talked up the films of the recently departed Agnès Varda. Today, the Criterion Channel went live and they’ve put up fourteen of her films, a few of which are among the best you’ll ever see.

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to upgrade our service plan. Hopefully this will help us address some of our performance issues.

Again, awesome and thank you.Report
Yeah, I almost feel like I should note that I am not getting paid by them! I’m just pretty stoked about this one because I only heard about Filmstruck right as it was ending and people were saying how great it had been!Report
I guess it’s better than just not having them available at all, but I’m not a fan of this new system where every content owner sets up its own exclusive streaming service. But I guess those who wanted a la carte cable should be happy.Report
I think it works fairly well. We have the trifecta of Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix. Were it up to me, I would dump Netflix and just keep Amazon (free with prime so why not) and maybe Hulu, though I bet I could find everything I wanted on Prime. Then Add Criterion and I am gold for what I want to watch.Report
It really helps that I have pretty specialized tastes. This and Shudder for horror covers about 95% of what I want to see.Report
