(How could that person have any self-respect as a connoisseur of cinema when they were watching versions of great pieces of art that had been dumbed down for the small screen?! oh my oh my :)<br /><br />This is the first time I heard about FilmStruck (well, khm, I come from a place where masses of people still rely on torrent sites instead of legal streaming), and reading your post on it made me think this site would likely use buzzwords (or at least, implicitly rely on concepts) such as “curation”, and, perhaps some others along the lines of “critical”, “cult”, “art”, and “independent”. I looked it up and I was not let down :) By the way it looks really great, and seems like it does fill a gap, and caters to a niche that has not been well served by sites like Netflix. <br /><br />As for your question, I would think this site exemplifies a general tendency towards hybridization or “singularity” in its digitalization of films, and by offering them for watching on our (more or most) recent devices (that are utterly different, and that enable utterly different viewing contexts and experiences from the original and earlier viewing contexts and experiences of these “classics”)… But surely you are right in pointing out that they not simply just do that, as the site also seems to try and reaffirm certain boundaries and distinctions based on certain, relatively strict criteria of (“cinematic”) quality. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176370085096625626noreply@blogger.com
