I wouldnt be surprised if season 3 sets without "Stark Raving Dad" end up being more rare and valuable just because theres no reason for them to make very many.

That's... A really reasonable price. And Walmart does free shipping too. Grabbed it in case the price goes up.

Finally today, March 12, 2019, the UHD format has justified itself with the announcement that Crank will have a UHD release.

I'm sure this has come up previously in this thread, but what kind of shelves do you guys use for your collection? I have generic media shelves from Target that are fine but I'm running out of room, and I have to move everything off of them soon anyway so it's a good time to upgrade to something better/nicer.

I just built my own, drilled right into the walls. Before that, it was the Billy bookcase from IKEA. It’s boring, but it’s pretty much the perfect size and the shelves are adjustable to fit movies, books, whatever.

I grabbed the build it yourself shelves from Ikea because I only needed a few items to be up near the TV (the rest is in the spare room), but those are a pain to put up and not as quick as the Billy.

Target used to sell some really good generic bookshelves for 20-40 bucks that are nice and tall, those are what I've been using, but I don't know if they still sell them or not. e: looks like they raised the price to 60 bucks on their website, blah. https://www.target.com/p/5-shelf-bookcase-made-by-design-153/-/A-53185872?preselect=53155616#lnk=sametab

You're assuming that they would both get this funded and that enough people care enough about Crank ten years after the last one came out for it to make any money. Crank 3D was too beautiful for this world.

I want to believe that the reason there hasn't been a third Crank movie yet is because Glenn Howerton is too busy to sign on.

I don't recommend that as it's expensive to get enough to put them across the wall/in the corner/etc. I started out with maybe 4 and then got enough so they went around the corner.

Flicker Alley just put up the pre-orders for Paul Leni's The Man Who Laughs and The Last Warning. Both are region free dual format editions from new 4K restorations by Universal. https://www.flickeralley.com The Man Who Laughs is one of the all-time best silent films. It's been OOP for years, but Universal's new restoration is of the proper American version instead of the foreign export cut used for the Kino DVD years ago. While Flicker Alley tends to be a little more pricey, they always do a fantastic job - even as far to get Fidelity in Motion to encode/author their discs (same guys responsible for Indicator/Arrow/MoC releases).

I, Butthole posted:Always down for more Conrad Veidt, so I might use this as an excuse to grab the Melies collection too. Flicker Alley has become one of the rare labels I'll go ahead and pre-order nearly anything they put out. I also ordered The Ancient Law and The Late Mathais Pascal along with it. Still need to get the noirs, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Fanchon the Cricket, and Sherlock Holmes. The Melies Fairy Tales in Color set is a lot of fun. Lobster Films scanned all the hand-colored films in 4K and most of the films have both a score and a narrated version. Other essentials: 3-D Rarities - 2 1/2 hours of rare 3-D short films ranging from the early 20s through the mid-50s. Lots of animation like four NFB Canada shorts (with the original 4.0 audio), a few stop-motion ones, and a Casper cartoon. Masterworks of American Avant-Garde - Amazing set of experimental films from the 1920s through the 70s. Highlights are Francis Thompson's N.Y., N.Y., Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon, The Life and Death of a Hollywood Extra, Early Women Filmmakers - Great set of mostly silents, but some sound films. Worth getting just for stuff like Lois Weber's The Blot and Claire Parker/Alexander Alexioff's Night on Bald Mountain, among others. (And there's only two short films overlapping with Kino's box set) Behind the Door - Absolutely nuts 1919 silent feature. I'm surprised it wasn't remade as a giallo. Only releases I'd warn about would be the Chaplin Mutuals and Man with a Movie Camera since the UK editions have much better authoring. They basically used the French disc image for the Vertov films, which crams 5 1/2 hours of films onto a single BD-50 with poor compression. The MoC set spreads the same content to two BD-50s with extra visual essays and interviews. Likewise, the BFI Chaplin Mutuals is vastly better. Encoding is much better, plus BFI adds an entire extra set of orchestral music scores by Carl Davis and commentaries on each film. The Keystone and Essanay sets are pretty much identical, though.

Gathering up some thrift store crap you can get for a buck is just some people going "90s KID!".

People are basically forking over hundreds of dollars for absolute garbage they'll probably never even watch because the boxes looked cool. It's like there's a reason why lots of this stuff never made it to DVD let alone blu-ray.

I dig the people who have really odd poo poo that shouldn't ever have been released commercially (and a lot of it hasn't been since, or ever was and was just private tapes). They're still loons, but they're loons with interesting things rather than 173 copies of Jerry Maguire.

Some of it is definitely interesting but when people are paying upwards of 100-200 bucks for a movie they know and acknowledge is unwatchable I find that to be a little loving nuts.

Yea I mean people in my life think it's pretty bizarre that I own like 200+ movies, but the main criteria is that I really only buy movies that I know I will want to watch and then probably rewatch in future months/years. I don't have anything on my shelf that's just for show and never gets watched, everything I have has at the very least provided me with a few hours of entertainment.
