Monday_ posted:You know how old people's clothing style seems to get locked into whatever they wore when they were in their 20s or 30s and they stop trying to keep up with the times? Well the other day I saw a guy that had to be close to 60 and he was wearing a chullo hat, baja jacket and cargo shorts, like he'd just crawled out of a Counting Crows video. This is 100% not true, otherwise most boomers would be wearing bell-bottoms or off-one-shoulder sweatshirts.

How long is the Waterworld tv cut? 3 hours? I think that honestly might be exactly what it needs.

Spatulater bro! posted:About 7 feet. I know that seems close, but keep in mind that the recommend distance for 4K is 1-1.5 times the diagonal of the screen. So with a 75" that puts me right in that zone. Well recommended or not I would go with the 65", you're only a foot and change from optimal.

On paper Cutthroat Island is incredible. They blew up a real pirate ship! Frank Langella as a pirate captain! Geena Davis at the absolute peak of her physical beauty as a rogueish pirate! A gazillion dollars on sets! A great score! And it's a drat mess

My wife got me the Moon Knight one because it was literally the only piece of Moon Knight poo poo she could buy me under a 20 dollar price point as a stocking stuffer. It pretty much looks like Moon Knight because he's such a simple and iconic character who is mostly faceless. It's the only action figure on my desk at home and my son likes to play with the bobblehead on it. Honestly it's kind of embarrassing because of the reputation these dang things have. If it were just a Precious Moments Moon Knight figure I would probably feel a lot better about it. But hey....Moon Knight.

I mean Funko is really just Precious Moments for the present day. There's always been stylized figs or art that your aunt or mom or whatever can put on their shelf. Just somebody figured out to include nerds. It's Thomas Kinkade level.

Boywhiz88 posted:How much of that was DVD vs BD/UHD? The bottom most tier is gonna survive because there’s Alaska and lovely internet throughout the US, etc. but if you can afford BD, you can probably afford and/or have access to digital media. The point is it's not "dead". You can come up with whatever rationalizations you like but I'm tired of people pretending that the shelves and end-caps full of physical media in every fuckin' Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Costco, and other big box stores across the country don't exist or just sit there gathering dust. They move.

Something you can go into every single major store in the USA and buy is not dead, even if it loses shelf space, this is a stupid conversation where you said "it's dead and that's why this thread exists" and when you're immediately proven wrong you're like "well I didn't mean it right now" and had to defend your ego with "well what about BAD INTERNET??!??!". I'm not interested, sorry. It's going to stabilize exactly like CDs did and still be widely available and even have good/great years depending on the release schedule. Also the streaming services are going to continue to fragment which might have some interesting effects on physical media. Have a good one.

I project Blu-Rays on a 90 inch screen outdoors and they look great. Honestly the amount of light output on your projector is at least as important as the resolution when you get that big, IMO of course.CRAYON posted:I was so sad when I walked in to my local Best Buy about a month ago. I wanted to show my partner the film Blade and thought Best Buy will definitely have that and I'll finally own the blu-ray. Nope. https://www.amazon.com/Blade-Trilogy-Blu-ray-Various/dp/B00SJFG6L0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541097480&sr=8-1&keywords=blade+blu-ray

CRAYON posted:Yeah? The point of the story was it's now harder to walk into a local store and find the movie you want to watch that night. No. Your story was about how it's now harder to walk into a store and find a specific 20-year-old movie in stock out of thousands. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/blade-blu-ray-1998/5855315.p?skuId=5855315 Best Buy carries Blade Blu-Ray. MacheteZombie posted:I have a DVD copy and two blu ray copies of the thing. I might by a third version of the thing in the near future. My dad has my VHS copy of the thing in his attic. It's probably ruined, but it's there! I have 3 fuckin' copies of The Thing Blu-Ray.

TheScott2K posted:The "moment" has been momenting for 10+ years now. It's not a moment, it's just how things are now. A whole lot fewer people are going to burn $20 or more to "own" a movie when there's at least one thing on Netflix that's good enough for tonight. This is absolutely true. Having said that, physical media was growing for 7/10 of the last years. Streaming is absolutely a replacement for movie rentals. But people are still going to have a....let's call it a "relationship" with a certain movie and want to own it. Likewise if streaming gets too fragmented it is no longer able to act as a replacement for your traditional defunct Blockbuster then RedBox may gain prominence. There's almost no entertainment market that's buttoned up in a particular way for more than a decade, I'm sure things are going to change. Physical media absolutely has a floor of market share and will never be completely gone. You'll always be able to order Blu-Rays - or 4k or HD ULTRA HOLOCUBES or whatever it ends up being - online, for any movie released in the next 20 years. Count on it.

TheScott2K posted:Physical media won't "go away" by the extremely literal definition a lot of people here are using, but it's definitely on its way out as a mass consumer product. Its destiny seems to be living in that laserdisc place where it makes money by catering to diehards while a large number of people just assume it doesn't exist anymore. It's probably closer to CDs, where they hold a significant and relatively stable market share and lots of people buy them and every release comes out on the format but it doesn't register for whatever reason.

Get yourself the Star Wars Silver Screen edition which keeps all the 70s color timings and poo poo. Looks great. Image is a little soft sometimes but it's a small price to pay.

Think real hard about why "the first half with the war and relationships" might be part of the racist propaganda and can't be cleanly separated from it. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It's incredible to me that in an internet forum, where you can read the content of someone's posts and rewind the conversation to any point to see what was actually said, people still regularly simply do not address what was written, but rather some invented tangent that they conjured from nowhere.

I can barely remember the 70s. I've talked to 90s kids and Zoomers and their ideas of the 80s are fuckin' ridiculous pastiche from pop culture and have no resemblance to reality. This is some real "degenerate Hollyweird" poo poo
