Time of death, 8:12 a.m. I was about 15 minutes into The Awful Truth.

:( I watched a few minutes of Still Walking to see if I could just now, must have stopped right before they pulled the plug

Gonna miss this. Went out with an accidental double feature of The Last Seduction and Body Heat (both first time--had no idea it was basically the same movie!) last night.

Only signed up very recently, maybe two months ago (I suppose I could look up thread but tl;dr!) and never got fully into the swing of watching things from beginning to end although I did revisit the beginnings of many old favorites. The last thing I watched to completion, on Wednesday, was Naked for some reason.

And today I heard somebody accidentally quote the security guard from that so I guess it was worth it.

We got kanopy like a month after we subscribe to filmstruck. There are some hoops to jump through for the former though. I think you can only watch 10 movies a month, and you have to watch them within 3 days.
i took at look at this via one of my (MANY) university employers' library websites, maybe the local public library too, and was discouraged, but going in straight through the kanopy site i was delighted to find that it offered to find my university and offered an immediate authentication using my university login. so, that was cool.
can't find anything definite about a watch limit, maybe i don't have one.
― j., Tuesday, 25 December 2018 03:40 (five years ago) link
Watch limits are set by the library, not by Kanopy - so if you don’t see one (eg top right in the phone app), you’re probably unlimited.
― sans lep (sic), Tuesday, 25 December 2018 03:47 (five years ago) link
yeah that's what i figured - there's nothing like a number in any prominent location at all - just hard to believe my cheapass state university system would ever cover such a thing : )
― j., Tuesday, 25 December 2018 03:49 (five years ago) link
Want to say I am jealous. But it is possible if you have multiple libraries attached that you could be in a state of being “between” libraries in which no watch limit is shown
― Spirit of the Voice of the Beehive (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 25 December 2018 03:58 (five years ago) link
Feel like we should have a Kanopy watching thread so we can synchronize our three days if we choose or at least exchange suggestions of what we are watching and discuss.
― Spirit of the Voice of the Beehive (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 25 December 2018 04:04 (five years ago) link

I have unlimited Criterion and 4/month non-Criterion through my public library, and so far I haven't had a month where I ran out of credits. It's so nice.
― jmm, Tuesday, 25 December 2018 04:16 (five years ago) link
Done. kanopy: thoughtful entertainment. what are you watching now?(Almost jealous of your unlimited subscriptions, but I can’t really watch that much anyway)

A new year's email:
All of us at the Criterion Collection wanted to start the year off by thanking you for signing up to become a Charter Subscriber of the Criterion Channel.
We’re excited to report that we are still on track for a spring launch in the U.S. and Canada, on the web and Amazon Fire, Roku, Android, and Apple devices. In the next few weeks we’ll be announcing our launch date and sending along instructions for making your subscription official.
Hopefully "Apple devices" means Apple TV as well as iOS.

Enter OVID, a recently announced partnership between academic documentary service Docuseek and six independent film distribution companies.

OVID will be an on-demand subscription service offering selections from these various catalogues.OVID is planned to launch in March, at which point its slate will consist of hundreds of documentary titles. Fiction titles will be added in the summer, and further curated selections will be made available on a monthly basis. The site stresses that many of these films will be unavailable to see anywhere else. It promises to feature filmmakers Chantal Akerman, Chris Marker, Bill Morrison, Jean Rouch, Wang Bing, Bi Gan, Pedro Costa, Claire Denis, Bruno Dumont, Cheryl Dunye, Eric Rohmer, Raul Ruiz, and Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet.

Charter film appears to be Mikey and Nicky
cool, gonna try this out and see if I can deal with the inevitably shitty streaming quality. does anyone else live in a city with shit internet?

Part of the reason I originally got an Amazon Fire TV was that Filmstruck was on there, now Criterion Channel won't be.

okay, seems like they worked it out because Amazon Fire is listed in supported tech now

Happy to learn today from the Bordwell blog that VHX is a temporary platform and that the Channel will have dedicated apps for the streaming devices at the April launch.
― ILX Moderator: It's Like a Pressure Wash for Your Insides (WmC), Monday, 4 February 2019 20:54 (five years ago) link
That does make much more sense. I'm fine with VHX for my own setup but it seemed kinda weird.

Is the Roku app active yet? I searched for it but didn't see it.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 21 February 2019 17:32 (five years ago) link
none of the apps are up until the official launch on april 8, per their messaging
― na (NA), Thursday, 21 February 2019 17:34 (five years ago) link
Yeah pretty much you have to use the VHX workaround until then.

i'm trying to figure out if this will be basically the same criterion movies that were in filmstruck or if it'll be more complete. their website says "access to Criterion’s entire streaming library of more than 1,000 important classic and contemporary films from around the world" but what is their "streaming library"? presumably excludes some movies they don't hold streaming rights for?
― na (NA), Thursday, 21 February 2019 18:00 (five years ago) link
sparked by me wondering if i'll be able to rewatch Head on this thing
xp yeah they have just under 1,000 titles in the collection but that includes OOP stuff like Citizen Kane, Do the Right Thing, Third Man, etc. I'd be surprised if they have their entire in print collection available to stream tbh.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 21 February 2019 21:49 (five years ago) link
The streaming library includes a fair amount of non-disc stuff like Bulldog Drummond movies and minor films by directors who have better-known films on CC disc. (Basil Dean, Anthony Asquith, Masahiro Shinoda, Keisuke Kinoshita, et al)
― ILX Moderator: It's Like a Pressure Wash for Your Insides (WmC), Thursday, 21 February 2019 22:06 (five years ago) link
> Masahiro Shinoda
Silence and Assassination turned up in the post today. what else is on CC?
― koogs, Thursday, 21 February 2019 22:13 (five years ago) link
The Channel had (and presumably will have) A Flame At the Pier, Assassin, Ballad of Orin, Double Suicide, Gonza the Spearman, Himiko, Killers On Parade, Love Old and New, Moonlight Serenade, One Way Ticket to Love, Our Marriage, Pale Flower, The Petrified Forest, Samurai Spy, The Scandalous Adventures of Buraikan, Silence, Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees, With Beauty and Sorrow, and Youth In Fury. I think they had his Sapporo Winter Olympics segment from the Olympic Films box. Only 4 of those are available on disc iirc.

They may have had the newer titles' streaming rights all wrapped up, unlike older titles.

Maybe they'll have 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days up when the channel starts for real. Less than 5 weeks!
