still surprised that, like harry potter, the lotr movies didn't do a special 20th anniversary rerelease where they retouch a little bit of the dodgy cg here and there probably because the original versions still put butts in seats and a special edition would cost money

has anyone done that besides Lucas? and he only did it because he was so gobsmacked by the possibilities of CGI compared to 70s practical effects and no one was able to tell him it was a terrible idea and force him to stop

speaking of slightly cleaned up re-releases this arrived today it’s a new scan they did for streaming, there was a limited release last year that sold out instantly so I had to wait another 8 months for this to show up. has director commentary too

Elder Postsman posted:i watched the lotr extended versions a couple weeks ago and it took me six nights to get through them years ago a local theater did a marathon screening of all three extended editions. i went with a few friends, in part because i'd never got around to seeing return of the king and figured this was the time and the way to do it. even the hardcore LOTR fans were burned out by the end, think it started at noon and ended sometime past midnight. glad we did it but also will never do that again lol

Casual Encountess posted:a kind of lovely realization i had a few months ago is with my latest lap into older films that i can now say that i've pretty much seen every notable movie from like 1973-2005. like sure there are like hellraiser sequels and whatever i havent gotten to but for the most part i can confidently say that ive seen almost every mildly notable movie from those eras. and its kind of wild to me that many of those movies will never have any kind of modern equivalent made. like heat for example, or like the hunt for red october. hell even a theater comedy like superbad that just absolutely swept pop culture is never really gonna happen in that way again. movies like die hard or terminator 2 were lightning in a bottle that just doesn't happen like that anymore. I would argue Fury Road and Terminator 2 are cut from the same cloth, in that FR was the first action movie I had seen in ages that I left the theatre all smiles

qirex posted:speaking of slightly cleaned up re-releases this arrived today this is the other reason im bluray hoarding. i love a good commentary where two cast members hate each other or the director crawls up his own rear end in a top hat deeper and deeper. also its cool netflix added indonesian subs to stuff but the stuff with indo audio as well has a different fuckin script and its not how i wanted to practice my indonesian. but it was the first time ive seen it as an option and that was a cool moment of visibility. i found out while hungover and rewatching evangelion this weekend. i went to switch the dub to sub and boom indo audio/sub and i had to take a second. it was weird that it was specifically evangelion because i have super fond memories of watching the english dub with my cousins there one summer when i was like 12 off bootleg vcds i bought at a market and it felt super loving surreal to do that in reverse.

i watched a lot of anime as a kid despite growing up in america because my dad woild always come back with a bunch of bootleg poo poo and it would be a total tossup between japanese/english/indonesian audio and subs in any combination so i have a lot of weird memories of like first watching gundam and akira with indo hardsubs with the japanese audio. i really admire the wild west of bootlegging there like hed come back with binders full of random poo poo like every halloween movie AND like 14 jean claude van damme and steven segal movies and poo poo. watched a lot of kung fu movies that i will never remember the name of but half the time i watch a shaw movie and a sleeper memory activates.

the extended version of the third hobbit is actually rated r, there's blood and flying orc gore bits [and an extended stupid vehicle section why do you make fantasy movies for a living if you love vehicle scenes] e: still not worth watching, it was just funny having it on and wondering "how is this pg-13"

I bet Peter Jackson was originally going to just make one Hobbit movie, and then some g-men showed up at his house and put the screws to him since Hobbit movies and paraphernalia form 80% of New Zealand's economy
