You can do that…oftentimes I just scroll through, looking for a movie I haven’t seen by a filmmaker I’ve heard of.
I mean, Mubi sort of leans to ultra-indie international stuff from the last 20 or so years. The classics kind of filter in and out, usually based on a theme or a particular filmmaker. Right now, they have some Fellini and a few Godards (I just rewatched Alphaville last weekend…still impenetrable). There’s several of Argento’s 1980s films and some Carpenter stuff if you’re looking for horror. I saw they have the early Denis Villeneuve stuff up, if you want to see what he did before he was making mega-budget sci-fi films.
Other than that, I usually just look through the different categories and check out something interesting.
I got a notification from Mubi on my phone which I appreciated. It said “Taming the Garden” is the most watched film on the service, so don’t miss it.
I like that, since, like everything else on the service, I’ve never heard of it. So it’s nice to get a recommendation like that from the power of the crowd.
Oops, I forgot to watch anything, and I forgot to cancel. And I got charged 10.99!! Good god.
Warning: They’re half off but still kinda expensive! Some tempting ones in there though.
Columbia Pictures (Sony) 100 movies for $100, actually seems like a good deal considering that they’re valid for Movies Anywhere so they won’t just be tied to my Apple account.
On the other hand, I can’t figure out a way to buy the thing. At least on Windows and Android, the only option I get when I click on the bundle is a list of movies and a “cancel” button. I wonder if you need to be on an apple device to buy things from iTunes?
Apparently Vudu has the same deal.

I’ve tried going there through links, through the Vudu front page, with and without ad-blockers, etc, but I can’t get the Vudu page to load. I tried it on Firefox and Chrome too. Bizarre. I’m just destined not to get this bundle. :) The universe it trying to save me a hundred dollars.
