Heads up! Incredible Hulk is not porting to Fandango at Home

I found a code inside my Incredible Hulk steelbook. It was an old Universal "reel heroes" steelbook. I redeemed via iTunes on the hope that Apple would upgrade me to 4K. No such luck; it's regular HD; no biggie. Movies Anywhere shared it with Amazon Prime and Google Play without issue, but Fandango at Home is not cooperating. I tried the ol' disconnect and reconnect trick, but still no luck. This might be a licensing issue between Universal and Disney. You might have better luck if you get Incredible Hulk from Disney instead of Universal, maybe??? Film distribution is byzantine to me.

Btw, don't judge me if I have some bad movies; I redeemed nearly all of them for free.

Hunger Games 5 Movie Collection

I literally have no idea where else to put this, cause I’m out of options. If it’s not allowed, just take it down. I apologize regardless. I’m just feeling a little desperate.

I have contacted Lionsgate Support twice about a missing digital code from the 5 Movie Collection. I bought it when it released, but I just opened it because of the new movies and after reading the books, and no digital code was found. They have denied me twice, on two separate accounts with no reason and no reply.
What is the issue? What am I supposed to do? It’s like the movies hit Movies Anywhere and they want to get every single dollar they can. I’m literally between moving houses after a natural disaster, won’t be back into my home for another 3 months and a digital code is the only way I can watch the movies. What do I do?

Edit: I’ve gotten DMs saying they think I’m scamming because I added the part about the natural disaster. Number one. I didn’t ask for shit. Number two. Hurricane Helene destroyed our house and we finally got help and have been living in a hotel for fiveish months now. We will be stuck here another couple of months. The only way I can watch movies is on my phone cause everything I own is in storage. Not a scammer. Not asking for anything. Just want advice. Everything in my life is fucked enough. Thanks.

Okay I have been looking for this movie for years!

I watched this over ten years ago in Vegas when I was visiting my grandparents. I was about 6 or 7 years old and I’m 22 almost 23 now so I know this is a long shot but… It’s about two kids a boy and a girl. The girl had blonde hair and the boy had dirty blonde hair. They get the youth sucked out of them so it can be transferred to these old shriveled up people. There was definitely an underground tunnel system I saw them walking through before they got to a room. I woke up to it and I still can’t figure it out!!! Any ideas you have are welcome and appreciated!!! I feel like it was a fever dream at this point or I may be going crazy. 😂 I feel like the boys had to wear blue and girls pink (I also have a weird memory of every one being in sync on a street) but I could be mixing it with the something else. It’s been a while!

Purchase Sync Issues to Apple & Fandango?

I did a Fanflix redemption this evening for the Warner Bros. sci-fi package, but for some reasons the movies did not sync to the Apple TV app after redeeming in Movies Anywhere. I tried the account disconnection & reconnection, but now I've lost the library entire in iTunes so I can only see purchases made directly there even though in both systems they show connected. Out of curiosity, I went and looked at my library connection in Fandango and it also did not sync my redemptions there, though curiously when I lookin Google Play and Prime Libraries it did.

Anyone else seeing a similar issue? Or know of a possible fix?

EDIT: Just got an MA response to my support ticket and they acknowledged there is an Apple porting issue at present. No timetable on a fix but at least appears to be a known issue.

Cooties via Fandango no longer available?

I noticed Cooties had a listing on Movies Anywhere, and I thought Fandango also had the MA flag on it when I purchased it but it never transferred. When I went to confirm on Fandango it didn't have the flag anymore but then I checked on Movies Anywhere it clearly has a listing, but when I tried clicking the Fandago link it gives me an error message. I then confirmed the movie should have been listed with the last drop. Is Cooties actually available or is this a known problem?

Clark

Did Clark kill his manager? I’m guessing Captain Clark killed him because he was planning on letting her go but that doesn’t make sense even because he was already lost inside and went crazy. I don’t think the movie director even knows. The MRI company would have had a leak day one and the whole world would have known about backrooms. entertainment is the movie. if you really think you will see many holes. not a masterpiece imo.

Can You Redeem Digital Codes Without Needing the disc?

On some older movies that you can get digitally, you have to put a disc into a computer drive then type a code somewhere, I don't have a computer and have found a bunch of my grandpa's old movies that I could redeem, but I can't find anyway to do it on just my phone, does anyone know a way? And no, fandango won't work, movies anywhere won't work, so idk what to do.

I'm having trouble with modern editing

Hi.

Just a quick note. I went to see Nolan’s *Odyssey* and really liked the movie—it was epic—but I really regretted that the pacing was too fast, especially the first 40 minutes. I’ve heard complaints about the movie on all sorts of topics: historical inaccuracies (since Homer was accurate ;p), the Bechdel test, etc.

Generally speaking, I’m not a Nolan fan, but this is the first Nolan film that actually stirred up some real emotion in me, and the epic nature of the film left me feeling depressed after the IMAX experience—like I had to come back to reality.

But that’s not the point. Am I one of the few people who have a huge problem with the editing pace of contemporary films? I grew up on European cinema and American film classics. I love the films of Tarr and, of course, Kubrick and Lynch. As a visual artist myself, I’ve made video art pieces that are becoming increasingly hard for my friends to watch—for example, the ones who constantly say they like things to move fast ;p.

I’m not saying every film has to be like Benning’s—whose work I appreciate conceptually—but I really get the impression that the concept of film editing is universally shifting to meet the needs of viewers raised, for example, on TikTok and constantly exposed to multiple screens, multiple screens, and an overload of everything. I missed longer takes in *Odyssey*; in my opinion, long takes let a scene breathe, but contemporary films actually give me a headache. *The Odyssey* is cool in that regard (for the first 40 minutes, I felt like I was watching TikTok, but then it was okay), but I remember watching Eggers’ *Nosferatu*, which I hate—sorry. That movie’s editing was so fast-paced that I had to take a headache pill.

I remember scenes from *Taken* with Neeson ;p, where the guy climbs over a fence and there are 13 cuts in a 3-second scene of him jumping over it—which looked like some kind of parody back then, but today it’s probably a glimpse of the future.

Do any of you also notice and have a problem with the editing speed (I’m not talking about action scenes, but in general) of contemporary films? I’ve come across the term “hyper-editing.” It seems to me that even hyper-editing itself—for example, in *Koyaanisqatsi*, which I love—is already too slow today.

I remember watching *Koyanisqatsi* with friends who complained and had a hard time sitting through the scene with the long shot of the airplane, and even the shots from the “Greed” section didn’t seem particularly fast to them.

I think I have an issue related to my upbringing in cinema, my general patience, and my need for imagery. I have a problem with the speed of editing today. Mainly in American or commercial films—of course, there are still slower films, and there are films where fast editing works well—but I get the impression that it’s being used where it doesn’t fit, because the attention span for moving images has changed in recent years, yet I’m having an increasingly hard time with it. Is there anyone else who has a problem with this?

Apple TV

My August lionsgate movies have ported to MA but not to Apple TV. I’ve disconnected and reconnected multiple times and nothing. I didn’t have a problem in June or July.

There's also a $10 Amazon bookshelf, but right now I'm getting a "There was an error accepting the invitation." message.

Make sure to click on the "all" tab. It is now opening by default to the "Discounts and Deals" tab which does not have the free movies.
