Up to #3 now on iTunes...
Maybe, I should try to sell one of my three Blu-rays of it.Up to #3 now on iTunes...
So, all in all, people are flipping out over nothing. And the ones screaming "censorship", clearly have not read the articles, just the titles
It kind of infuriated me when I observed such reporting!I saw numerous press accounts of it yesterday where they said HBO Max was pulling it but made no mention of the fact that the move was temporary. It's hard to blame someone who might have only seen one of those half reports. I think that's might have been the driver of all of this.
I think it's simpler than that, I think it's just plain ignorance. And, those that do know better are using it as a lightning rod for further discussion of a larger issue.There is also a stubborn refusal among a certain percentage of the media consuming population to understand that a subscription streaming service is not meant to be a perpetually available library of all content ever created, and that content frequently rotates. They are choosing to inaccurately view a film disappearing from the service as being the same as someone breaking into your home and stealing something off your shelf, when the reality is it’s the same as HBO deciding not to show a movie on their TV channel this week.
Wife and I a few years ago finally sat down and watched it beginning to end.I have owned Gone With The Wind since it was released on home video in numerous formats and I don’t believe I’ve actually watched it from beginning to end.
Over many years, I've seen similar comments about many iconic movies. IMO, it's due to circumstances, expectations and simple subjectivity.Wife and I a few years ago finally sat down and watched it beginning to end.
Was the last time we ever need to watch it.
I don’t see the acclaim.

I've had a similar response to Citizen Kane and that was after seeing it for the first time in a movie theater after its restoration.Over many years, I've seen similar comments about many iconic movies. IMO, it's due to circumstances, expectations and simple subjectivity.
HBO GO goes away on July 31.
As HBO Max is currently not available on Amazon Fire or ROKU, I am not sure how HBO GO users will be able to access HBO MAX on their TV if they are not an AT&T brand subscriber or have a Samsung Smart TV from 2016 or later.
