Should I buy a subscription to this?

bro
YES
you have access to over 2,000 of the greatest films of all time for like $99 bucks a year

I just pirate them for free lol

Go on the site and see if they have anything you want to watch, there's no paywall for that.

lol why would you pirate when you have disposable income from working in media?

why tf would you make the effort of pirating 2,000 films when they're right there for you for like $100 a year?
think about it this way: if you watch a film a day for a year, that's 27 cents a film

>if you watch a film a day for a year
yikes, that's pretty onions.
Real men like me need time to work on their cars or tinker in their woodshop

Tried to watch adaptation last night
Shit kept on stalling out so I turned it off

I have a subscription, but I don't really watch anything on it because my gf doesn't like "boring" movies and I'm sick of her complaining about me hogging the tv

I don't know
I don't think it's even available in where I live

ps4 when

yeah this is pretty infuriating. on the whole, I think it's worth it because I just wanted to run through a bunch of these movies and find the ones that are really really good, and be able to quickly bail on the ones that I hated

and have you noticed the inconsistency in the web players? there's the ones that buffer with a circle, and the ones that buffer with a rhombus. the circle ones work better, but still sometimes have problems. the rhombus ones freeze up, and you have to manually nudge them forward. you have to babysit it the whole time.

anybody reading this considering subscribing: it's simultaneously an amazing and terrible service. you will fill out your knowledge of tons of classic films, but you have to overcome some problems with the site itself.

also not nearly as many criterion releases are available to stream as you'd think. ones like The Rock, Armageddon, and Robocop, obviously aren't there. but there's even some gaps in the stuff you'd expect. Truffaut's Day For Night wasn't there for a long time, and it leaves at the end of the month. they constantly cycle stuff in and out, usually as part of a theme. but they've been focusing on female, gay, or black movies, so you can discard most of the "newly added" movies each month. and I appreciate that they tell you what movies are about to leave. at the beginning of each month I check the new and leaving categories on the site's homepage.

80% of them are chick flicks (only highly praised by women). so you really only have to pirate 400 over the course of your life. easy

also no matter how many films you watch a week you should save the best film for sundays, that way if you get better at prediction and discernment, if you find you watched a superior film throughout the week, you failed.

So you willingly watch girl movies 80% of the time and blame others?

yeah it's pretty good. just subscribe for like a month and see how you like it

depends if its very cheap to you then go ahead.it has good amount of decent films.

you can subscribe through your phone by downloading apk on android.

Download bluestacks (android emulator) on your computer, make an account, set location to USA, download the Criterion Channel app from the emulator, make a CC account and your good to go

>why would you get something for free when you can pay for it
gee idk why i would not spend it on dumb ass fuckin movies and shit. also, youre a twat

why would watch films on your phone
I don't get it

jesus christ.you make account on your phone and then you can use same account on other devices.

not all movies are on criterion. I'm not paying dozens of streaming services. and at the end, I can't not-pirate everything since there are some obscure shits that nobody serves.
>film a day
I don't do that. maybe 3 per week, sometimes rewatching. now it's $1 for a movie (when sticking to single service) and I probably can't rewatch it years later, download it and make webms out of it. though I would rather do that than going to cinema.

I have netflix, Amazon prime, hulu, and criterion. I watch criterion the most.

>Should I buy a subscription to this?
It really depends on what you're looking for if its modern releases or films from the greats don't bother you can just pirate them. My friend and i watch a lot of old japan films and westerns that aren't available on torrenting sites and a lot of them are on there. You can use their search bar to check

Just get a ptp account bro lol

How

ptp?

Pass the popcorn

The player and search functions are crap, but the selection and quality are unparalleled

Definitely beat torrenting for me (unless you're on a private tracker or something, and can get HQ stuff pretty easily). They have lots of stuff that you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else, and you get access to all the bonus content (interviews, analysis, etc.), which is actually also quite good
