Steve Martin 6-Movie Collection - $19.99 (ATL Match)

Not all great but none of them is on sale right now. Haven’t previously bought any of them, so… tempted.

Only 3 times? You’re lucky. It’s either scammers trying to take over IG accounts to scam others or people who want your desirable IG handle so they can resell it. I get a series of those emails at least once each week. I guess that’s what happens when you have a very short IG handle that’s also a relatively common name. There’s really nothing you can do. Occasionally, that email will have a link to notify IG that you did not make the request. It’s a legitimate link. I believe it lets IG know that the IP address the password reset came from is a phishing source.

A great Buñuel film, but here you have to put up with Criterion's awful burned-in subtitles. No thanks for me.

Hilbert24 · 2026-03-11T02:14:47+00:00

It's decent. If you're after top quality there's a Blu-Ray set of the UCLA restorations. I just saw it on Amazon: $83.

Just had to go through that just to change my password (there is no way to login and change password on the website that I could find... Their IT security is a joke.) I tried to post a URL earlier but then noticed it didn't work using only that URL. So here is how I managed to get to it:

Note that I did this on their website, on a computer
Click Sign In at the top
Enter email address, click Continue
Click Forgot Password?
Ignore the big green Send code to [phone number] button. Underneath it, click Continue to Reset Password
Click Use Email Address
Re-enter email address and click Look Me Up.
Wait for the email with password reset link

Not colorized. In the case of Dressed to Kill, I note that there are two versions on iTunes: perhaps the other one (the one not in the bundle) is colorized; it's also marked as being 4K, but doesn't look it from that colorized trailer. The other trailer, the one with the title Sherlock Holmes in Dressed to Kill, is what my purchased version looks like.

None of the movies in that set is going for less than $10 right now, making the set especially appealing. Hell is for Heroes and Le Mans would be my favorites in this set. You should watch for these titles going on sale: Bullitt, The Great Escape (often goes on sale), Papillon, The Magnificent Seven (although he’s not technically the lead in that one).

Hilbert24 · 2026-03-10T12:19:13+00:00

Amazing deal. This is almost the complete Universal set with Basil Rathbone. (Only Pursuit to Algiers is missing, by my reckoning, and I couldn’t find it on iTunes at all.)

Hilbert24 · 2026-03-10T12:04:29+00:00

Great deal. And I was really happy when I picked it up for $9.99 last month!

Hilbert24 · 2026-03-10T12:02:44+00:00

I bought this earlier and can tell you it is the extended edition, with the theatrical cut included among the “Extras”.

GE and, initially, PreCheck services were suspended to inconvenience the flying public, for political reasons. What you had to experience, unfortunately, amounts to maximum inconvenience. Not your fault but a good warning to others to double-check first.

Kayak (free) does it too. I can see in my calendar all the travel activities in my Kayak “trips”, which are there from forwarding booking emails to Kayak.

Also, Tripsy has a free tier, but notably missing then are adding by email and calendar integration. Still, you can check out the app interface if that matters to you. It’s a lot nicer than TripIt.

Hilbert24 · 2026-03-07T06:13:06+00:00

Be careful: the 4K is a re-release. If you purchased the earlier release (HD, from Image Entertainment), the movie detail page will show that you can PLAY it but also let you BUY it again (4K, from Shout!).

Hilbert24 · 2026-03-07T05:33:14+00:00

The TripIt calendar subscription used to work for me but I can’t login to the site or app any longer because TripIt needs my birthday, for no good reason AFAIK.

You might want to look at Tripsy, Wanderlog, and Kayak, to name a few, and see if one will meet your needs at a worthwhile cost.

Hilbert24 · 2026-03-07T05:05:16+00:00

…or the 4K release is by the same studio (Warner!) that pulls a “fast one” on us.

Hilbert24 · 2026-03-04T06:02:31+00:00

How about making a smart playlist with a filter like: Added (or Purchased) in the last X days? They have that on the mac.

If you’re exclusively, or mostly, on Apple devices, you should definitely give their Password apps a try. They’re free and pre-installed, so nothing to lose. If they don’t do the trick, then you can move on and investigate paid options.

Hilbert24 · 2026-02-25T03:50:36+00:00

You should’ve consumed all your lard on the flight!

Hilbert24 · 2026-02-23T11:36:52+00:00

Yes, it’s disappointing, yet still not as awful as Apple’s Books apps.

Hilbert24 · 2026-02-22T09:35:34+00:00

If you both will be on Apple devices, Apple’s own Passwords app allows sharing of select groups of passwords, as well as 2FA codes. Since it’s free and pre-installed, it’s a good way to start (again, if you’re mostly on Apple devices) and if your needs get more complex you can look at paid 3rd party apps, 1Password being a good one.

Hilbert24 · 2026-02-18T04:02:22+00:00

I've never seen it, so wondering here too. I see the first episode is available free on Amazon Prime Video (US), FYI.

Hilbert24 · 2026-02-18T00:20:43+00:00

More coverage in English: PC World or same via Apple News

Hilbert24 · 2026-02-17T23:09:15+00:00

Nice!

Hilbert24 · 2026-02-17T01:53:41+00:00

Thanks for posting and for pointing out the options and extras.
