I agree. I love A24 for the independent movies. Movies that would’ve never gotten a chance anywhere else.

At the very least, it could tarnish the A24 brand and end up like Blumhouse, producing these “legacy sequels” to movies that didn’t really need a (another) sequel to begin with.

I had no idea this was a thing. So say someone has the proof document of an out-of-print book, could that person go to some company who could reprint the book for the person to be in their personal collection?

I’m curious if this will sour the partnership between Blumhouse and Universal. The Halloween sequels didn’t do as good as 2018’s Halloween, and now this new Exorcist legacy sequel not meeting box office expectations.

For a dead franchise like The Exorcist? Yup. But Universal also gets rights to use in theme parks and streaming, so they MIGHT make their money back.

That’s why you hear it’s a big gamble for this new trilogy of Exorcist movies.

How does the company stay afloat when they’re constantly replacing satellites? The money, the logistics, and most of all, the materials. What a waste.

One thing that really bothers me is Instagram “hearing” conversations. I swear the app is listening in, even with the microphone being disabled for the app. My wife & I would talk about a certain product or restaurant and sure enough, we see ads for it on Instagram the next time we’re on it. Very disturbing.

I have a 7.1 home theatre setup with a 4K 55” hooked up to AppleTV.

I use the Infuse app. They have a free trial version in the App Store. Tried it, the setup was easy for me and the player did exactly what I wanted: play media files from a local network drive. Supports a wide range of encodes, audio codecs, 1080p, 2160p, HDR, and so forth. I bought the lifetime subscription after that, which is good for all future versions including the big updates.

For setup, I have a small PC with 2 x 5TB HDDs shared through my local network. Both the PC and the AppleTV are connected via Ethernet (no wireless or you might experience playback issues from time to time)
