It's nothing new. That app has been that way forever(?) now. That's partly why losing the iTunes app is such a problem... and I've refused to update my OSes so far (at least) in part because of that. BTW, I finally decided to just write a review for the AppleTV app (in their App Store) to...

Never heard of it before, but maybe I'll give it try... _Man_

Really wish Vudu would match these various complete TV series deals. _Man_

AppleTV app/UI is basically "broken" -- seems like some huge design flaw w/ how their aggregator works. It's also very annoying for foreign language films w/ subs vs dubs (when they sell a dub-only version) -- I've mistakenly bought the wrong/dubbed version a couple times because of that in the...

Hmmm... apparently, I do have a soon-expiring cashback deal w/ Amex ($11/month back), so I'll probably just do that for 1 month starting this weekend unless I can somehow get that $60/year deal (for ad-free). _Man_

Is there an actual promo code one can use? I canceled little over a month ago when my annual deal ran out, but would resubscribe at that rate if ad-free, especially w/ the Super Bowl coming this Sunday. _Man_

I actually caved and bought the 4K disc, which includes the DC, from a Gruv BF sale, LOL. That deal is good, if one doesn't already own many of those, but yeah, I already own most of them whether on BD/4K disc and/or digital (and at least a few I wouldn't care to own the digital on top of BD/4K...

I might be the only one around here who actually ended up buying the 100-title sale bundle (from Apple/iTunes)... and that included both those, which I didn't have before. I figured there were somewhere between 30-something upto ~50 of those 100 I'd like to add (or upgrade to 4K in a few cases)...

Interesting that they didn't have quite that much overlap between the bundles on Vudu and Apple/iTunes... and unfortunately, apparently none from the year-plus-old, big Sony Classics 4K boxset, which I suppose I should be glad to have recently bought a couple afterall. Definitely not doing the...

Laborious indeed... which is a complete antithesis to going w/ streaming IMHO... and enough of a deterrent that I've so far largely avoided most/all these various, otherwise great bargain, sales there. I've mostly decided I'm better off just saving even that cost (despite the great bargains)...

FWIW, Delicatessen is apparently also in 4K -- not sure when it got upgraded -- and $5 (again) now. Definitely another Jeunet title worth owning, if one doesn't already... _Man_

Maybe Criterion will eventually release this on 4K disc -- they did on BD ~10 years ago... and then as part of a trilogy-set-of-sorts a few years later, which I own. That might actually be more likely than for Sony to do it as standalone. But The City of Lost Children 4K is actually the one...

Yeah, I didn't mention Devil's Backbone because that one had already been $5 back last May when it was already 4K -- and I bought it then. Hmmm... FWIW, I recall seeing Still Alice (2015), which isn't actually on sale anymore, but was at least on Amazon last week, is another title from that...

Looks like the small handful Criterions that dropped to $5 were ones that dropped that low in previous, rare $5 sales -- I apparently just happened to miss buying those 3 before. The rest I didn't already mention are all documentary types like For All Mankind and The Buena Vista Social Club...

Hmmm... I finally started getting around to rummaging more deeply into theses sales again and just noticed there are indeed a (very?) few Criterion titles that dropped further down to $5 apparently starting Christmas Day, not the week before when they all dropped to $10. I'm still rummaging...

But no deal just yet though, right? ;):lol: _Man_

They probably will... but despite my concerns a couple years ago, it seems (at least so far) they may still allow preexisting HD purchases to be upgraded to 4K afterall. Certainly, I don't recall any actual cases where they didn't at least eventually get upgraded anyway... though there's often...

Yep, the mid-year sale at $5 was only for a small selection IIRC. Don't recall if there was actually one this year -- you're probably right there wasn't as I apparently haven't bought any such so far this year. FWIW, Arrow also seems to only drop their prices to $4 nowadays (although still...

That's not really an annual thing (unless you see much lower than $10 prices)... as they seem to do that (more) often enough. The (sorta) annual one I've seen (the last couple years) actually marks some small selection all the way down to $5, IIRC -- and I bought a good handful that way the...

One of the various problems/complaints w/ the AppleTV app, if that's what you were using. IMO, very lame design of Apple -- they of all tech companies should really know much better than this me thinks. _Man_

Well, this sucks! Just noticed my purchase of that bundle apparently didn't "take" or something. No idea what happened. :huh: _Man_

FWIW, the couple 6-film sets of Studio Ghibli titles are back on sale at lowest prices ever -- Vol 1 was actually that low for 1st time back during BF week, but don't recall any mentions. $45 for Vol 1, which probably has the best and most popular titles (other than Castle in the Sky), and $40...

I'd say buy it and then maybe wait til closer to the theatrical release of Part 2 in March before watching it at this point, heh -- well, it's really only ~3 more months to wait for Part 2 at this point... BUT definitely go see it in a true IMAX screening if possible... if they do a rerelease...

Yeah, I've just about given up using iTunes for Windoze for managing and ripping my music and mostly just settled on using Apple Music and then occasionally just playing whichever CDs I still want on my system instead of the ripped files. It just doesn't seem worth the hassle to still keep...

For me, I'm also feeling like it's probably best to have an alternative way to fully access Apple/iTunes content I buy/bought anyway even if they fix the current issues I have w/ the ATV app... although we do also have Movies Anywhere, Vudu, et al for those cases that are eligible -- I do own...

Not necessarily a digitals deal, but related (and probably at least some of you are already aware by now). You can get Apple $100 GC right now (of course usable for iTunes) w/ $15 store GC/credit back at a few different places, including Amazon, Target and Best Buy. They usually limit 1 per...

Too bad there's not much I tend to want from them, especially as their service seems to deteriorate. I still have a couple GCs (w/ ~$62 combined total remaining) I bought from them 2-plus years ago at 20% off. Been saving them mainly waiting for a handful TV series in my wishlist to go on good...

^Yep, same for me. I have complete series bundles of Smallville and The Wire both that way. I have all seasons of Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire the opposite way (all bought/redeemed as individual seasons) where I can't access the episodes under their complete series bundles unless I...

Randomizer would be useful for me for some long running, episodic series... especially many pre-Y2K-ish, 20-25min sitcoms where I don't really feel like picking specific episodes nor often feel the need to watch in original TV release chronological order... A randomizer for such would...

I never use that app... but problem is Apple also plans to ditch that app (along w/ the movies counterpart) in the near(?) future, forcing everyone to only use the sucky AppleTV app AFAIK -- and for me, the AppleTV app's What's Next (or Up Next) functionality (whether w/in a series or across the...
