Winston’s fate at the end of the ‘Scorch Trials’ chapter is very brutal. He is left to withdraw on his own and turn into a Crank, in a very gruesome scene. Another kind of death for Winston is Teresa’s betrayal. This movie is way darker than the first one, as a lot of side characters die very fast. But it’s not really about that. Every death in the movie draws attention to how the noose of danger is getting tighter and tighter for the Gladers.

This is really a great thread for discovering new (even often overlooked) options to paid streaming services like movies and TV shows through library apps. Rather than rely on some random blog post that likely contains an affiliate link or two, this type of crowdsourced information is far more valuable.

To summarize, the Scorch Trials movie left out a lot of good details from the Scorch’s world. For instance, the book gives so much more detail to how bad the Scorch world is and to the main characters’ progress throughout the story and their personal changes throughout the story. As for a plot, the Scorch Trials movie followed the main plot of the book, but cut out a lot of subplots with minor characters. The movie went for a more action-packed, one-dimensional movie.
In terms of the Cranks, their storyline is only viewed from the perspective of action scenes in the film, whereas in the book, they are an ongoing fear of the protagonists and their backgrounds are explained in more detail. As a result, the ending of the film is more definitive than the ending of the book and is greatly different from the other. This difference between the two mediums is evident when trying to create a film out of a book because each medium has its own limits as to what can be expressed effectively.

Someone identify the movie? This thread could become a decent resource on specific titles, having a known peculiarity, eg being only available on the German Amazon Prime or even the uncut version only being included on a special edition Spanish Blu-ray. As a horror aficionado, I’m aware of where to find uncut versions of the 80s slashers. The French extremity films and classic old Hollywood noirs will likely have their own specialists. Sharing one’s knowledge is how we get around these types of restrictions.

I’m here to read the comments. Mostly people post really interesting ways to find media that most people have never heard of, and those are more interesting than the media itself.

As previously noted, Blackwood Academy is a BritBox ‘International Mysteries’ title – not sure that’s the best category but it’s there. Hoopla (if your library subscribes) is another platform where it appears to be streaming – I managed to get hold of it on there last winter. Availability is a bit of a shambles at the moment, although there has been talk of a Blu-ray release from the show’s creators – no release date has been set yet though. Good luck finding it in the meantime.

If you’re craving a dark comedy, then Don’t Let Her Know is the movie for you. This too-funny-for-words film is available for rent on Google Play Movies and Apple TV, and it’s even included for free on Pluto TV’s on-demand library as part of the ad-supported collection. Although I found the main plot pretty compelling on its own, I ended up watching this second to catch a lot of the wonderful background humor. I paired Don’t Let Her Know with I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore for a wonderful double feature—both are wildly chaotic and also somehow charmin’.

I wonder if the anthro dragon design is a problem for the film. They’re not standard Western dragons or Eastern dragons. They’re bipedal with quite expressive faces and their wings function as additional arms at times. I think this look would be difficult to animate in a believable animal-like manner and achieve sufficient ferocity whilst still being expressive. It may be that test footage did not look quite right and therefore needed reworking and thus extra time.
There are countless other behind-the-scenes decisions that go into deciding whether or not to make a movie, and it’s all mostly a series of intricately interconnected choices regarding a movie’s design, tone, and technology. Perhaps one of the largest decisions made was that the core visual style for the film just wasn’t working, and therefore the entire production of the film stalled. This concept art could give a lot of insight into why the film has yet to be released.

Note that public domain is not the same as expiration of copyright. Twilight will not go into the public domain for decades. As with any book, only the rights holders can authorize the work to be shown. So you will not find free, legal, ad-supported films like Twilight on services like YouTube or Tubi unless they have made a special deal to show them. Older films are typically shown on free ad-supported services because the license is cheap. New films, especially high-profile adaptations like this, are very tightly controlled to maximize revenue. So for the first few years of a film's lifecycle you will find it in theaters, on rent-by-email services, and possibly on one or two subscription services. Eventually it will make its way to free-with-ads services, but that will not be until much later. It all follows the lifecycle of monetization.

You want to watch old vintage Godzilla movies? ‘Monster Wars Godzilla’ isn’t always the easiest to find but I have managed to get it on Vudu as a pay-to-rent title when Toho have it licensed. It’s also been great on the HD transfers making the old rubber suits look brilliant. Recently it was added to ‘Creature Features’ on Peacock and was great to see an old title like this up on the streaming service. Apparently NBCUniversal have some old distribution deals and it turns up from time to time, including this Halloween.
I also found out that my local indie theater was hosting virtual screenings of films like this as part of their “Kaiju Throwback” series. I ended up watching this on a screen near me and even participated in a live Q&A via Zoom with a historian of Japanese film. It really opened my eyes to the artistry of suitmation.
