Anybody watch The Criterion Channel?

1. Love the Criterion Channel

Unfortunately, you missed it when it was Filmstruck, the service that preceded it, and was even better. Filmstruck not only had the entire Criterion Collection but also AMC's complete online library. It was awesome! Unfortunately, it shut down, but it was none other than a group of Hollywood heavyweights, among them Steven Spielberg, who helped bring it back as the stripped-down Criterion Channel we have today. A lot better than nothing, though.

I used to be a dispatcher for an internet service provider. My wife was a chef at a local retreat center about 40 minutes away from where I worked, and she got off about two hours after I did. We only had one car between us back then, so I could either take the bus home and wait for her, or hang out at work and watch Criterion Channel (or previously, Filmstruck) on my computer and wait for her to pick me up. I often opted for the latter. Got a great film history education.
