Riker : Mmmm! Goddamn, Picard! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Warf would be happy with some weak ass Lipton right, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this?

Really? It was ALL over my landing page for Disney plus. Certainly right around the release dates for the specials they had big banners and everything showing new episodes etc . . and each special got its own banner saying SPECIAL 1, 2 3 and 4, respectively.

I mean, they kind of have?

That is not at all up to Disney.

“But this Fantastic Four’s Reed Richards is a terrible first impression.”

“The problem with the big streamers is that there’s often a feeling that nobody’s “home” — you have a handful of premium original shows and movies and the rest feels like random filler with no organizing theme or principle.” this was true of most of the cable channels as well though.

“ And apart from Street Fighter and Oldboy, they’re all English language films.” that is probably more me than it though, as those are the films I could eyeball and have a rough idea of when they were made and if they wer considered classics or important etc . . ..

Things I see on Netflix:

Sorry I meant run TCM as a streaming channel on Max, not as a cable channel, which clearly works.

Seconded!

They dont have the money to run it as a channel, so they sure as hell dont have the money to run it as a stand alone streaming service!

I mean, I am seeing them and I am 100% not going in looking for them. They just show up in my scrolling through category carousels. I am sure that it is just my algorithm at this point gussing I am likely to watch.

Yeah but that is not what anyone means when they say streaming.

There actually was a decent amout of this sort of thing at Disneyworld in the Star Wars areas. Low branding and designed to look like the costumes.

Streaming is not like owning. Streaming is renting.

And every one of the movies was written and directed by men,with the exception of the movie held up to be the best of them all, Empire, which was written by Leigh Brackett.

But it is only Iconic within that fairly small community.

There are absolutely things you should buy on physical media. Niche items, smaller films, lesser genre items, special editions, and unsuccessful films that you like. That has always been true.
