Sunday21 3587 Report post Posted May 29, 2017 NETFLIX® IS COMING SOONHold onto your popcorn, Alpha Angels. This is not a drill. In the very near future you will be able to link your Netflix® account to VidAngel Alpha and have access to OVER 400 more movies and TV episodes. We have NOT released the new app yet! But we plan to within the week. As soon as we do, we will send you an email with instructions to update your VidAngel app and link your Netflix® account.IMPORTANT: When we release the new app, your current app WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY for either Amazon Prime® or Netflix® movies until you update it. [Perhaps one could filter the movies and shows found on Netflix? I could finally watch Game of Thrones?}] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeuroTypical 9961 Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Well now. I know something got argued in front of a court, and today I see this. They're hyping something: TONIGHT6:00 PM (Pacific) 7:00 PM (Mountain) 8:00 PM (Central) 9:00 PM (Eastern) TUNE IN AT: VIDANGEL.COM/GOODNEWS 1 Fether reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeuroTypical 9961 Report post Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Yay - they're back with a new business model! Now you link VidAngel up to your Amazon or Hulu or Netflix account, and filter stuff that way. They're billing themselves as just an automated way of viewers hitting the fast forward and mute buttons, something done by millions of families as they self-censor content. Good on them.

Sunday21 3587 Report post Posted June 20, 2017 I was hoping to see Game of Thrones but the first season is, I hear, too disgusting to salvage with bleeping. I watched 5 year engagement with bleeping. Some whole segments were unintelligible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eddified 302 Report post Posted July 7, 2017 I don't know why, but ClearPlay apparently lets me watch filtered movies on Amazon for free. (Well I pay for the Amazon content, but the filtering is free). I don't even have a ClearPlay account! It works using a Chrome browser extension, provided by ClearPlay. I can then cast the movie to my TV using Chromecast. Not the best experience since I have to use a laptop (the Roku would be better). But free?! Wow. I watched "Star Trek Beyond" this way this week so I know it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeuroTypical 9961 Report post Posted June 21, 2019 Resurrecting this thread 2 years later because there's recent news: https://blog.vidangel.com/2019/06/21/open-letter-to-disney-ceo/?utm_source=VidAngel+Investors&utm_campaign=a3e7a54ba7-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_01_18_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d9f1b39c3d-a3e7a54ba7-190166121 Letter From VidAngel CEO to Disney CEO Quote Here’s What We Propose We understand you want to protect your Intellectual Property. You understand that VidAngel’s customers want to skip a few things in your movies in private. If the financial minds rather than the power minds within Disney prevail, this could be a solution. We are prepared to consider giving Disney our Dry Bar Comedy series in satisfaction of the judgment. Dry Bar Comedy is the fastest growing comedy brand in the world with over 1.5 billion views to date. It is making millions. It is growing so fast because the creators are embracing the data behind the skips of families. You could publish its family friendly comedy on Disney+. With the so called “debt” settled, VidAngel could freely transfer the “filtering” assets to the Skip Foundation and emerge from bankruptcy. “Filtering” would survive as “skipping”, regardless of VidAngel’s future fate. And Disney could profit from both the skip data and Dry Bar Comedy. This proposal would settle the judgement, respect Disney’s IP, and grow Disney profit. VidAngel would be free to focus on The Chosen, VidAngel Studios, and generating profits for its own investors, while enjoying the benefits of the Skip Foundation. I won’t hold my breath for your response and we are already preparing our appeal, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. The IMP and Sony Betamax cases changed the industry, but they dragged on for almost a decade. Change is coming. You can fight it or profit from it. What do you say? Are you open to meeting? 1 mirkwood reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmanuel Goldstein 601 Report post Posted June 21, 2019 The letter seems like a desperate attempt to avoid losing the case. I would suggest not watching a movie, tv show or music that is offensive. 2 Vort and NeedleinA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just_A_Guy 12692 Report post Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Disney’s will not deal. First, because they don’t want to deal. The last twenty years have shown that they and the other big studios aim to ensure that we get the full filth they produce for us (and not an F-bomb less!). They believe that we can’t live without them, and that will accept the coarsening and profligacy they offer to society. (So far, they’ve been right.) And second, because—I’m sorry, VidAngel; I like Dry Bar as well as the next guy, but it ain’t worth no $62 million.

If the public wanted squeaky clean, G rated movies, Disney would give them what they want. If the public doesn't want that, than Disney does not provide it. It's really that simple.

Guest MormonGator Report post Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I find it hugely fascinating how Disney is treated. The right hates them because of they won't forbid homosexuals from entering the park. The left hates them because they are big, nasty company that doesn't pay the employees well. The right hates them because golly, they do things slightly more "edgy" than Saved by the Bell. The left hates them because they don't present strong female characters or have openly gay ones. In other words, haters gonna hate. *In the interest of fairness my wife and I are annual pass holders and we go there all the time. We don't watch the movies though, we just love the parks.
