Young Frankenstein is not available for streaming
Young Frankenstein is not available for streaming
And they wonder why we walk with a pegleg....
(And that "watch similar movies" thing can go to hell too)
ETA:
Jellyfin is great, yes.
My wife and I moved into our first house together on Halloween, 1995, so that night we drank a bottle of champagne, watched Young Frankenstein, and handed out candy. Every year since then we've done the same thing to celebrate our anniversary of living together, though sometime a different movie. This year, we couldn't find our DVD, so decided to stream it and found what you did. Apparently Disney bought it and for some reason decided not to make it available. Very frustrating.
"I'm afraid Young Frankenstein has grown up. All that's available is Old Frankenstein."
Consolation prize: the Gene Wilder documentary on Netflix is pretty good if you haven't already seen it
I was not aware of that but will track it down.
RIP to the whole cast of this film.
You probably can get the bluray from one of those bulk sellers. Pick up a bunch of movies and get combined shipping
Yeah wouldnt that reward bad behavior?
Although buying physical also send an important market msg
I watched it on a website a few months ago for class
Find a spare/cheap computer. Install home assistant/unraid/TrueNAS (bunch of platforms that run docker and have app installers but any of those three are pretty easy to get running). Pay for access to a Usenet backbone provider and one or two Usenet search providers. Black Friday will have some sales on yearly subscriptions. Install Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseer, and Bazaar (if you're huge into subtitles like me). Alternatively, also install and setup Prowlarr. Get your Usenet stuff working in Prowlarr. Point Radarr and Sonarr at Prowlarr. Point Jellyseer at Sonarr and Radarr. Share with friends. I will personally handhold anyone who wants to do this for themselves.
Please teach me
I need to be learned
why usenet over torrents?
Quality and ease. Torrents don't always have enough seeders or they disconnect. You can get by on them, but it's a case of getting what you pay for. I go through a lot of media as do my friends using my server. The cost is negligible and basically means I have no headaches.
Is jellyfin considerably better than plex for local and offline usage?
Client apps are more limited but otherwise floss purist swear by it
Personal preference, really. For me, jellyfin is much simpler to use, very easy to self-host in docker. And the clients are great too. I use desktop, android and roku regularly.
Doesn't anyone rip library DVDs any more?
Yes. My library has some DVDs but not this movie.
Don your pirate hat and sail the high seas, matey. Arrr.
The solution is there... but it will take time for normie core to require this vital skill that was lost due to netflix.
Remember folks, media is 100% discretionary spend, if corpo does not give you the service you need, it is well within your ability to punish the parasite's profit ;)
A friend showed me their workflow for piracy and it's really incredible just how easy it all is. Literally just download an OVPN config from whatever VPN provider you subscribe to, connect to the VPN and search in qbittorrent (and use the link in qbittorrent to download the necessary search plugins)
Like obviously this is a few decades of software refinement, legal battles plus a fair amount of large companies turning a blind eye to the obvious. So it's shoulders of giants and all but it's still kinda jarring
Oh no I fell on the keyboard and this link appeared.
Netflix selection has gotten worse and worse.
Oh no, I also did that thing you did and randomly generated a streaming link

That's simply unacceptable. I have a copy, but that's still unacceptable that you can't stream a film that amazing anywhere legally.
My point yes, thanks. Now how is the young generation going to learn how to pronounce Igor?
My kids will probably never buy a dvd player but you can bet I'm showing them how to find things like this regardless.
Looks like a 20th Century Fox production. Which Disney owns now, right? So why isn’t it streaming on Disney? Kind of pathetic.
I think it's either:
- they have to pay residuals to the actors for every stream, and they'd rather not do that
- not 100% sure if it applies in this situation, but somehow they can write off the value of media just by making it unavailable, which gives them a tax break
Have it on DVD
Desperately wanted to watch Young Frankenstein in the week before Halloween. It's just the right kind of relaxing spooky comedy. Tried to find it legally. Honestly tried for longer than I am willing to admit. For a few years, the subscriptions were just so convenient, and I didn't have to worry about getting a virus or knowing which link to click. Well, no Young Frankenstein was the final straw. Bring on the high seas!
About 80% of my use of Netflix is "hear about a cool film, open up the app, it's not on Netflix, close the app".
The other 20% is: Netflix creates a amazing series, I hear from it like 3 months later, watch the whole thing, ending with cliffhangers, and its already cancelled.
In this case, piracy is the moral thing to do. I wouldn't even call it piracy at this point.
YAHARRR!!! DON'T BE SO QUICK TO LOSE HOPE YOUNG SAILOR!!!! For the riches you seek are not far away!!!
I’ve only ever seen this in the original VHS
Guess I better borrow it before it's hard to find!
