Criterion app is so wack. S***tiest downloading system I've ever seen in my life

F***kkk thank god

Imagine hating on literally the greatest app/service in existence

Nah really tho what’s your issue wdym

I never said anything about their selection or service. It's specifically regarding the app. Their offline download/syncing system is stupid and outdated. No background download, device must be on at all times and user must stay in the app.

So if you leave the app you lose the download? Or you just mean you just have to leave the app and device open while your movie downloads for it to finish downloading?

Cause if it’s the second part that’s not too bad like if you’re just tryna download a movie for a flight or something

The latter. It’s not a deal breaker but severely outdated especially when other services allow background downloading

Sooo did we get an accurate verdict on Barnes & Noble doing their 50% off this month? I called around a few stores in Atlanta yesterday and no one could give me a straight answer...

complete

There’s a SS from a Barnes and noble employee online of a task being assigned to him to prepare the store for the sale starting on July 10th

Assuming thats real we should be good

What is this? A plex of every Criterion or sum?

not plex but yea

Scary how much money I’m about to spend on blu rays

oh man definitely need that Arrow blu of Hired Hand s***ty dvd still looked great but was screaming for a remaster
