Just gonna repost this since we’re dunking on folks who buy 12 copies of Alien because the box looks different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnAvPpBpROI Edit: This guy sucks too. I don’t have the patience for a 3 hour video of him talking about every Blu Ray he owns, but fast forwarding I didn’t see anything impressive and heard a lot of “didn’t watch yet.” He has to be the most boring movie collector I’ve seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CnFSQNho4w Liar Lyre fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Feb 12, 2020 |

I was in line for a Wilco show years ago and the college kid in front of me asked who was playing tonight. I told him I didn't know who was opening and he said, "No, like, who's playing tonight?" I told him Wilco and he asked if they were any good. People are loving weird man.

Working at a Blockbuster back in the day was also pretty interesting in terms of observing how a lot of people consume movies. It's funny how little self-awareness people can have about it too, like you'd get a guy coming into the store every single week to see the New Releases and he takes his time browsing every shelf and asks questions about the movies he's not familiar with.....and then without fail rents the new Steven Seagal turd every single time. Or if there wasn't a new Seagal it would be whichever straight to video action flick came out that week. Not that I have any problem with enjoying that stuff, but people like to think of themselves as having a wide range of interests and most really don't.

My dad rented a lot of straight to video garbage from Blockbuster. Seemingly because he didn't have any sense of what felt cheap just from the cover. Then he'd get annoyed when I wouldn't want to watch the Air America sequel he'd picked out. Also happened with movies that did get wide releases but bad reviews. He rented the Pitt/Jolie Mr. and Mrs. Smith which I didn't want to watch, and got annoyed about me being a movie snob and not wanting to see it. At least in that case he admitted that it was terrible afterwards.

I always thought the Alien head collection looked cool, but I look at my house and it just wouldn't go anywhere and would just end up in a cupboard, and what's the point of that.

I get collecting multiple unique editions for a movie you really like - all that Alien stuff on its own wouldn't be nearly as bad if he didn't do the same thing for seemingly every movie ever.

I'll admit that I have fond memories of me and my friends going into our video store and just renting a lot of crap because the title sounded cool, or it had a cool picture on the box.

Yea but you didn't browse the entire store, look at all the cool sounding and interesting looking stuff, and then end up with the one that has Steven Seagal's head photoshopped onto a young buff dude every time.

According to the back, it has both cuts - https://www.amazon.com/Fast-Furious-Ultimate-Collection-Blu-ray/dp/B01N32H7KI (times at the bottom) Now I'm trying to work out if the speedometer is in km/h because it's bad graphic design or if it's excellent attention to detail as the car shown is a Japanese import.

Doing a full runthrough of the entire F&F series is actually really fun to do, because you can see the escalation happen from sequel to sequel. Each one brings something to the table and none of them are bad to the point I'd recommend skipping them so the box set is a really good value.

Yeah, I used to scoff but then my friend turned me onto them. It really is insane how it’s unrecognizable from the first one by the 5th or 6th. The 8-movie collection (sans Hobbes and Shaw) goes on sale frequently. I got the UHD version for like $50 around Xmas.

James Rolf posted a top ten reasons he doesn't like Blu-ray as a format. https://youtu.be/tetXKdi9U3c Some are totally fair and valid points, others are completely  . Some of his issues would be resolved if he got a player more modern than a launch PS3. Also I'm glad we're in the era of simple and streamlined menus.

Bad transfer, no extras, etc. Not that there aren't bad Blu-ray releases but it's going to be your best bet to own the best version of a movie possible in a lot of cases. Some of James' eccentricities are pretty out there, and there's letting a creep like Mike continue to hang around forever too. Some months back he posted some stuff about his filming workflow and it's right out of the mid-2000s.

I don't know why anyone takes Rolfe seriously anymore. Sure, he's an earnest dweeb about filmmaking, but he made the AVGN movie, which is one of the worst things I've ever seen.

I think James is creative, but he doesn't really have a lot of technical knowledge. I remember seeing a video on Cinnemassacre's channel where they had 3 people talking, and they mixed the audio in stereo. So you had the two guys on the left and right coming out of their respective speaker, and then the guy in the middle, his voice would float between the left and the right depending on where he was facing. It took an already excruciating video and made it completely unwatchable. It's something simple, but you see poo poo like that there they do things that even someone with barely any film making knowledge would know not to do. It's not hard. Dialog should usually be centered.

The menus thing is funny. Like, yeah, that Ghostbusters one is kind of creative but also god-ugly. Funnily, UHDs have had some of the worst menus I’ve encountered. Just abysmal. Also, it’s a MENU. Most people launch directly into a movie by virtue of a streaming service. Most people will see it for a few seconds setting up AV and subtitle options then play the movie. I get it. There are some amazing menus like Memento or even The Ring (you can trigger the tape. Went over amazing at a movie night when it first came out). But yeah, acting like DVDs didn’t have lovely or obnoxious packaging is so funny. The video was clearly meant to be pedantic but the menus thing pushed the right buttons to make me make this post.

I told him I didn't know who was opening and he said, "No, like, who's playing tonight?" I told him Wilco and he asked if they were any good. I go to a lot of standup comedy shows and those are my favorite version of this. A lot of people are completely unprepared for what they're about to see. Especially when its old people whose concept of what standup is is some hack from the 80s doing "What's the deal with airline peanuts jokes.". A lot of people just go where there is a thing happening and wander in if it's cheap enough. This was probably the case with the drunk straight couple grinding on each other during a Perfume Genius show. If you want to really look like an rear end in a top hat be a straight couple go to a show that's 80% gay men and 20% fag hags and dry hump your girlfriend the whole time. Then furiously make out during a song about a creepy teaching committing suicide. Basebf555 posted:Yea he seems like someone who just enjoys collecting interesting packaging.

I tend to have a decent backlog of unwatched films, but they're not on my shelf to just sit there. Most of my purchases are in sales, so I'll get enough Criterions during a B&N sale to watch over a year or so. Even so, there's only a handful of films I own more than one copy of. Literally the only stuff I pre-order these days tend to be Flicker Alley's releases (and they only put out maybe 8-10 discs a year) and the occasional Amazon deal. It's insane to have a video release just for the packaging, though here I am waiting for the Best Buy steelbook of Knives Out.
