New Disney Streaming Service: Disney+

[EricJ]

Most of the reviews have not been kind, saying that WITHOUT the nasty Let It Be breakup material, it's...sort of pointless.

Well, whatever: It's not the first time we've had to put up with a poor remake just to get the original on Blu-ray.

[Ben]

Actually, Let It Be isn’t a great film. And reviews for this have largely been glowing.

[Daniel]

Seeing Paul discover "Get Back" in real time was so amazing.

What’s with the removed titles!? I mean, I get that maybe the 20th films have other licenses that may not have run out yet, but…Maleficent!? That’s an outright Disney-owned title!? Could also be a license thing, of course, but this is why streaming only makes for a convenient "movie collection" and isn’t a replacement for a physical movie collection.

Of the new titles, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Mr Popper, for what it was…very sweet family movie that seems perfectly timed for a warm 'n' cosy Christmas viewing.

[gaastra]

Man that fantastic four folder will only be the cartoons and the awful reboot film. It's the same fox titles over and over getting removed. Disney does not need to put fox films on plus unless they have full rights. It's getting annoying by this point. garfield and dr doolitle has been removed so many times now. Come on now disney.

but…Maleficent!

Those pesky hbo max and starz deals.

[gaastra]

Masterlist "through the decades" has been on the pc app but not roku. It's back on roku! It's the masterlist with everything on disney plus on one page. It's in the "all collections" folder.

Yay Ron!

[Ben]

Hmmm…might try and give Ron a watch before my disc gets here and I can still cancel it if it’s not great, though apparently it’s a decent little flick.

[gaastra]

Eww home alone 4 and 5. Why does disney hate us? Also looks like percy jackson sea of monsters is gone and back on hbo max again.

[Randall]

I peeked at the Facts of Life/Diff'rent Strokes "Live in Front of a Studio Audience" special. (Originally aired on ABC, I assume.) What a neat idea, a real hoot for us Gen X'ers. Jen Aniston as Blair? Kevin Hart as Arnold? Wild! Fun to see 99-year old Norman Lear dropping an F bomb on national television. And the girls from Facts of Life have barely aged at all, save for Mindy showing her silver hair.

[Ben]

What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis!?

[Daniel]

Watched on the telly the other day, yep ABC! It was fun. Thought Jennifer Aniston was terrible as Blair, though. Like she had never watched the show. Same for Gabrielle Union as Tootie. The rest were pretty good, especially Ann Dowd, but those two really took you out of it. The highlight was Lisa Whelchel singing the theme! She still looks phenomenal. Aside from the height, it looked like she was plucked right out of the rerun. Ageless beauty. Blair was always my favorite and I'm huge fan of Lisa. Rooted for her on Survivor and love her current show on MeTV.
