I don't get it either...

I am not privy to at and t financials. I'm sure they want a Netflix with millions, probably tens of millions of paying subscribers and with filmstruck, they probably have thousands. Whether they make a little money or not, they probably want their employee hours going to more profitable enterprises. But who really knows why a big company does anything.

You know filmstruck is far from perfect. There are plenty of good movies from the last 40 years and very very few on filmstruck. But when you look at the treasures... I counted 33 Ozu titles tonight after watching Floating Weeds. I've seen Tokyo Story and maybe a couple others. I thought about taking a month and working through all of them. It will not happen now. Similar deep dives could be done with Melville, Renoir, Bergman, Fellini, Tati...these are the real deal, not just historically important but watchable for pure entertainment value as well.

I will have a sort of binge for a month. Then see what Criterion will do to provide legal streaming access to its catalog. I hope they get it together soon.
