and not to brag but a certain someone DID also recently score a SEALED DVD box of the complete run of The Facts of Life. that someone? it was me! that someone was me!
― scott seward, Friday, 1 March 2024 01:03 (two months ago) link
xpost -- good thing too! (I hadn't had a 4K player before this, so it was a good investment all around.)

The all-region part, of course, is still pretty handy for the old Blu-rays if you've started collecting those from multiple regions
― Rich E. (Eric H.), Friday, 1 March 2024 01:41 (two months ago) link
Especially if you live in a region B backwater like me. One of our chain stores was doing a clearance on budget bluray players which were all-region DVD and menu-switchable for BD regions, I bought 3 so if one fails I have a backup. About 30% of my collection is region A and my Sony 4K player is hard locked to region B BD, region 4 DVD (which I believe is illegal in Aus, but whatever).

Yeah my player automatically plays any region DVD and Blu-rays, just have to select a button on the remote. A saviour.

(Should be a comma after 'DVD' there. You get the drift.)

on brand Wes Anderson from that NYTimes article
Anderson, who asked that verbal tics like “uh” and “um” not be excised from his quotes, told me that he had always admired how Criterion covers tended to be “more adventurous than, uh, what a movie studio would be inclined to go with.”
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 1 March 2024 04:19 (two months ago) link
I'd argue Region B is actually a better region than A to be in these days! But yeah I own a multi region player.
― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 1 March 2024 10:46 (two months ago) link
There are even region B Criterion discs, I own a couple

what's a charter subscriber? like the channel?

People who signed up when it first launched.
― Chris L, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 13:42 (five days ago) link
i'm not sure but in 2018 I got an email about being a charter subscriber and have been one since. I think it was from people who had filmstruck subscriptions and then became initial members of the Criterion channel?

Charter members are ones who got a membership in the first month. I got a membership card for being subbed for the first 3 months.
