Ok. Over the weekend whilst searching for a particular gay themed movie “Burning Blue” concerning two USA aircraft carrier Naval fighter pilots whom during an aircraft crash investigation find themselves in the midst of a forbidden relationship which throw their lives and careers into disarray and danger. Think Brokeback Mountain (2005) on the high seas. 😀 Anyway I found it on a streaming site for movies and TV series for which probably I am the last to know about in these forums.

Been watching a few of their movies and TV series (The Young Pope & Counterpart series both 8/10) over the weekend and have bookmarked a heap of others. I am particularly interested in pre VHS/DVD days; 50’s, 60’s & 70’s stuff and gay themed content and content from overseas streaming sites that is not geo available here in NZ, HBO, Hulu etc. I am not really interested in the latest released stuff as I know those will be out on DVD soon if I REALLY what them and I usually wait for sales on them anyway. I mean $8 to stream legally as opposed to $10, $20 and higher for DVD. I am also not interested in setting up a VPN.

The overall selection of movies and shows is quite extensive. The streaming quality is excellent. Though this sites catalogue is mainly English language based, it does have good quality (production etc) European and French Canadian catalogue. Their catalogue has all the latest released movies and popular shows and it stretches back to the 50's. Just watched Michael Caine in "Funeral in Berlin" 1966 - brilliant and the other two Michael Caine - Harry Palmer movies are also available. I also have a wonderful (ah hmmm) Bali DVD collection whose quality is quite often very questionable to unplayable and believe you me this streaming site is just day & night in quality.

Now this site has had a chequered past and there is a huge question concerning this sites legality. Their catalogue (pointing) server is based in Tonga. It is not a torrent site, per se, as in you are not downloading, locally storing and then ongoing sharing but rather is a streaming site. The sites disclaimer is: "This site does not store any files on its server. All contents are provided by non-affiliated third parties".

The only downside (criticism) to this site is if it is busy then there is huge buffering or just failure to play. Most of the content is hosted on "non-affiliated third parties" servers between two and sometimes upto four servers. But I have had >95% success rate and once a show is playing there is usually no buffering.

So I sent freitasm my original draft before actual posting to see if I had broken FUG by mentioning this sites name and address and he quite rightly stated that I had due to: “copyright infringement happening as they don't have distribution rights”. Thank you Freitasm for that clarification. So I have edited this post to reflect FUG.

As I stated above I am probably the last to know about this site in these forums. If you want to know this sites name then PM me as I will not be naming it in these forums.

You can watch this sites content directly on your computer or your iDevice and by using a casting app, in my case Web Video Caster which casts to my TV via Chromecast. (it is free with tiny Ad's or NZ$6.99 one off Apple App store purchase to get rid of the small ad's and enable Bookmarking) This casting app works and is great and they do keep it upto date with seemly monthly updates. There are several others in the Apple store but none caught my fancy as this one did. Some wanted ongoing monthly subscriptions and others wanted high one off fees and some had too many bells and whistles for my wanting and some had not been updated in a long time.

Cheers enjoy 🍷
