When I found out Paramount+ was removing Star Trek: Prodigy I bought all 20 episodes of S1 from Amazon Video since that was the only way for me to watch all 20 at the time. On 6/27, I lost access to episodes 10-20. Amazon has done what they can, which isn't much.
All 20 were accessible when I paid for all 20. The full season is what I was buying. Now, I only have access to 9 of the episodes.
What is the point of buying digital content if they're just going to steal it back from you afterwards?! Is this not false advertisement?
Nine Inch Nails' And All That Could Have Been DVD, released on this day in 2002. I found a folder of raw screengrabs from 2001, during the editing process, where some of the footage was still interlaced from the consumer DV cameras I filmed on in 2000. Here are some enlarged details, which have a phenomenal early-digital texture to them now, and it’s remarkable to see the resolution we were working with to put that film together (these were direct TIFF frame outputs from FCP - all the compression you see in here is from the camera!)
I always loved the way interlaced frames digitally ripped an image apart, and it inspired me in the creation of the “With Teeth” visual aesthetic a couple years later. In 2004, as the prosumer digital video world was continuing the clunky transition away from interlacing, I discovered the first version of Apple’s Motion software did not know what to do with interlaced footage, and would in fact render the interlacing as part of the video when you zoomed into it. That happy glitch accident formed the aesthetic foundation of the video for “The Hand That Feeds.”

Guess which movie I bought myself on Digital Video. It's none other than the one and only 2023 remake of the Little Mermaid! Figured since the DVD and Blu-Ray release won't be till the very end of the year, getting it on Digital video is the best option.
