Not great.

I just learned Apple TV is ditching its almost utopian press platform where they made their entire catalogue available for journalists in favour of a case-by-case request system that will result in a heap of bureaucracy and me (and I imagine many others) taking much less of a gamble on their shows.

His death isn’t a problem at all. I never thought Daniel Craig was the same the same Bond that appears in films for 50 years. This is a poor argument and I’m glad to see people calling out as such.

Spoiler: it’s because he died. The writers of a franchise whose main character has been played by seven actors across sixty years think they have to come up with a plot explanation for the character coming back after dying in the previous movie. radaronline.com/p/james-bond...

Make sure you are buying Criterion discs from B&N. They are the ones running the sale, Amazon is only matching. Without B&N, there’s no discount discs.

It’s a shame that so many people will have to see this on Netflix for the first watch. It’s a beautiful movie that demands a big screen presentation.
alanzilberman.bsky.social Alan Zilberman @alanzilberman.bsky.social · 3d
Frankenstein is available to stream on Netflix today, so expect a bunch of “I don’t get the big deal” takes from people uninterested in the movie who half-watched it on their phones.
