Filmstruck (script, Netflix, director, watching)

[oeccscclhjhn]

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and The Criterion Collection launched Filmstruck a couple days ago on Nov 1. I will subscribe - right now I'm using the free 14 day trial and have seen Jimi Plays Monterey (1986), D.A. Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus and am watching Finding Gaston (2014), Julia Patricia Perez.



Could not get it to work on IE11, so I'm using Chrome.

I just mentioned this in reference to an obscurity in the Netflix thread. I'm waiting for the Roku app, January.... but I have Chromecast as well & that's debuting next month, if I can double team the subscription on both devices I'm in. I'm not interested in watching on my laptop...

Just rewatched Kar Wai Wong's Chungking Express (1994), which always comes to mind when I think about making an all time top 10 list, or top 5. Commentary audio option (which I've already heard) included. I've never seen supplements / extras with streaming movies.
