Happy to see that Clear and Present Danger is getting an individual UHD release in June. Previously it'd only been a part of that Jack Ryan set and I wasn't really interested in Sum of All Fears or Shadow Recruit.

After the others, it was inevitable but welcome news. Really enjoyed Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games. I can see how it warped a lot of Dad brains from being fun and cool.

Is anybody here into Ghanian movies? I poked my head into a charity shop and they had a ton of Ghanian movies, which I have never seen before. Was this a find? Does anybody here collect Ghanian movies? There were more still scattered throughout the other shelves.

I'll buy almost anything if it's that steelbook packaging where they have the slipcover made of hard plastic like that. I love that poo poo, the one they did for Total Recall is probably my favorite.

I watched the regular HD version of Crank for the first time in about a decade and hm that movie has definitely aged hard since it came out. Not necessarily in a bad way, it makes for a pretty good snapshot of style from the time. The loving google maps transitions… Gripweed posted:Is anybody here into Ghanian movies?

I look forward to listening to your upcoming podcast diving into Ghanaian movies, which the thread shall now name.

The best Star Trek movies are about searching for something. 1 is the search for Disco McCoy. 2 is the search for Khan. 3 is the search for a way out of killing your most popular character. 4 is the search for whales. 5 is the search for God. 6 is the search for a metaphor about the end of the cold war. 7 is the search for Malcolm McDowell. 8 is the search for a Steppenwolf tape. 9 is the search for the fountain of youth. 10 is the search for the remote. JJ 1 is the search for a new cast. JJ 2 is the search for Kirk. JJ 3 is the search for a deadly weapon when you already have a deadly weapon.

I actually fell in love with Star Trek The Motion Picture after buying the UHD. There's just something extremely charming to me about a movie where the entire plot is basically just them on the bridge looking through the window at crazy sci-fi poo poo made with 70s special effects.

Fun City (a VS partner label) is doing another print of Morvern Callar after it completely sold out. New cover, and also coming to DVD; unknown if it's having the same features or is a totally new release of the film https://twitter.com/FunCityEdition/status/1640752346698317848

Not so interested in this, but the Mill Creek twitter account has just informed me that there is a full series set of "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" on Blu-Ray and I can't decide if I should should spend $40 now or wait until Netflix announces that they're removing it.

Adventure Time  They’ve indicated the Lower Decks S3 Blu will also be print on demand and likely barebones, so I’m expecting them to drop physicals altogether afterward. No one gives a single gently caress about releasing animation in particular on Blu.

And physical releases full stop after the first coma season. My 74-year-old mum is also a fan of the show and after waiting several years for more DVDs to send her (she already has all the Blus) I'm just stuffing a HDD full of the last several seasons (amongst other things) and shipping it to her. Same with Always Sunny, which technically has had a few physical releases since S10 but they've been no-frills burned DVDs that cost $30.

Censoring something for me like I'm not an adult with a brain, is annoying as hell yeah. It's not even consistent to boot. I've been going through SNL on peacock as a background show while I do things and there are a ton of sketches in the 80's and 90's era where it's just white cast members doing charlie chan poorly, and that's the entire joke of the sketch. And those made the cut, in what are otherwise edited down for music rights and other issues. Just air a little disclaimer if you think this stuff is actively doing harm or does not reflect corporate values and let me choose on my end what to avoid...as problematic as that SNL stuff is, I'd rather know it exists and reflected "comedy"  in america at that time..instead of pretending everything is just fine! it's fine!!! Really delusional...e: the corporate self censoring is never altruistic either, it's just to avoid losing ad sales or drawing negative attention that effects the sub numbers

zer0spunk posted:Censoring something for me like I'm not an adult with a brain, is annoying as hell yeah. It's not even consistent to boot. There was the problem for many years where they simply didn't have any black women in the cast with the exception of Danitra Vance and Yvonne Hudson, each for 1 year in the 80s, and Ellen Cleghorne for 4 years in the early 90s. So, whenever they needed a black woman in the sketch, they were often played by black men, particularly for Oprah or Star Jones. Maya Rudolph, being biracial, often played characters of many races, even Asian despite not being Asian, something they also later did with Fred Armisen who is also biracial, but not black and played Obama for years. It wasn't until the 2010s when they had more than one black woman in the cast at once, first with Sasheer Zamata and Leslie Jones, and now Ego Nwodim and Punkie Johnson.

Kate McKinnon was the strongest person in the cast for years. And for the first time ever, there are currently at least 3 openly queer cast members, between Bowen, Punkie, and Molly. They've also had multiple gay writers, which has resulted in a large number of really funny overtly queer sketches written by people like Julio Torres and Chris Kelly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BONhk-hbiXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HVH_I04ZrM (featuring an actual gay porn star)

Ugh. If you bought a 4K restoration BluRay from Arrow in the last 4 years…you’re a sucker. They’re all gonna be UHDs at some point! I’m gonna have to double-dip on Waterworld and Mallrats. gently caress you, Arrow!

His HBO series (Los Espookys) is great. I just found out that he made a movie with Tilda Swinton for A24 and I lost my poo poo. It's pretty clear that the show is just a way for people to network to go onto better things. There are a lot of really funny shows made by former SNL writers but god is that show a comedy void.
