criterion channel streaming service launching april 8

for those who may have used filmstruck and are lamenting its death, or are in the market for a streaming service, please note that the criterion collection is launching its replacement service on april 8th.

and if you sign up early, you apparently qualify for a permanent discount on the monthly or annual price.

this won't apply to the user here who occasionally starts threads about how much he hates criterion & every film made after 1950, but for anyone who does enjoy the criterion collection, this sounds like a good opportunity for fairly significant savings.

and, for any canadians in the room, i checked with customer service yesterday and it appears that this service is available in canada. i haven't registered yet, but i plan to next week.
