I just saw a bit of Bermuda Tentacles on SyFy. I think you would have enjoyed it.

I think there was a The Phantom TV mini series aired on SYFY in 2010.
It told story of rise of 22nd Phantom (in comics there were 21).

Did GOG give up on getting movies on to the site? I have not seen one released in a long long time.

The only movie I dig out of the lot so far is, The Gamers 1 :/

Yarp. I'm actually surprised they even bother to keep the movies tab for the store. I doubt much of anyone wanders into that section to buy anything these days. Hell, I never bothered to buy anything even when they were still adding stuff.

Nonsense! They're going to add another one as soon as they add another game to the "Reclaim Your Games" section and actually hand out the promised prizes for their last 4 contests!

I'd love to see real movies and real TV Shows here like most people pretty much, but I have serious doubts that that will ever actually happen, more or less which I came to conclude after watching a few interviews with Marcin Iwinski of GOG a couple of years ago. Basically it went something like this:

(paraphrasing)
Marcin: We would love to be able to bring DRM-free Hollywood movies and TV Shows to GOG.com. Surprisingly there are rights owners that are willing to embrace DRM-free with some of their titles also. The problem though is that while most video games are owned by a small number of intellectual property owners that usually have global rights or easy to negotiate terms with a small number of parties, movies and TV shows have dozens of rights owners almost always with complex regional distribution rights and it is almost impossible to get all rights owners for a given movie/TV show to agree to DRM-free and global distribution and other terms all at once. But we may be able to get DRM-free titles regionally which vary from region to region. Our question to our users is - would you be happy to see DRM-free movies and TV shows show up on GOG regionally if we're able to do this?

GOG community: Large resounding echoing "NO F*CKN WAY! GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION OR NOTHING!"

Marcin/GOG: Thanks for your feedback everyone.

And the file on project "bring real movies and TV shows to GOG.com" was closed, sealed and brought to the basement of GOG.com headquarters to be filed in the historical archives under "Projects That Will Never Happen Due to Mutually Incompatible Conditions for Success". Not long afterward GOG stopped releasing any new movies whatsoever on the site.


I'd love to see content show up here DRM-free whether it is regionally sold or not personally, but I'm either in the minority, or those who oppose the idea whether big or small in number, are big enough to make it not happen ever more or less.

I think in order to do something like this what they'd have to do is go up the corporate ladder a rung or two to their parent company CD Projekt, and have them spin off a new subsidiary that is based on selling Hollywood movies and TV shows DRM-free without any other constraints or pre-established userbase ideologies, completely separate from GOG.com and its ideologies. This would certainly be doable, and in fact CD Projekt themselves already sell all kinds of things on https://cdp.pl/ which contain DRM and/or have completely different customer ideology/mindset including commercial DVD/Bluray movies, music, and I think they might even be an authorized Steam reseller if I'm not mistaken. So selling DRM-free regional movies would fit into their pre-existing business model, or one of a new spinoff easily. But it sure doesn't seem to fit into the GOG model, at least for now and the forseeable future.

Not to poop on anyone's fantasy ideas mind you, I'd love to see what everyone else here would love to see happen. I just don't think it /will/ happen because the userbase wont budge on regional distribution, and the rights owners in a complex web of legal rights issues that vary not only from movie to movie and show to show but even from season to season or show to show - neither side will ever likely compromise or try to resolve the issues, so I've given up hope we'll see DRM-free movies take off here any time soon.
