Slipcovers specifically felt like a cool bonus and you could typically hunt down a copy with a slip on eBay for the same price. Everything that's just supposed to be a bit of fun is ruined the second some jerkoff gets too much money for it off of someone dumb.

Origami Dali posted:Just got the Twin Peaks Z to A set as a replacement, since a few discs in my Entire Mystery set don't work anymore, and this packaging is trash. Yeah I heard it was real bad so I ordered a medium size Case Logic binder for it and any other poorly packaged discs. The very backordered Z-A set finally arrived and getting the discs out of the goddamn case without loving them up was a huge pain in the rear end. Glad I got the binder well in advance, stored the Se7en UHD in it as well as everything else that was imprisoned in cardboard crap

I’d give you guys my slips, but then I’d have to admit that I buy mainstream slop.

The guy who did a half hour long video about how you can see marks, like the tiny stickers they put on the floor so the actors know where to stand, in Star Trek: TNG in HD just put out a video about the new Star Trek: The Motion Picture 4k release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75PwAGINKo8

It's somehow never gotten a US Blu-Ray release before, which explains why I could never find it when I looked for it in the secondhand shops. I always assumed it must have left DVD at some point. One of the best movies I watched during the 2023 October Challenge. So stoked. Good features, too.Special Features posted:• Audio Commentary with Film Critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

Hah thats wild that Rian Johnson was an editor on May. And Steve Yedlin did the cinematography then went on to be Johnson's go to cinematographer

May's an instabuy. I remember that Ebert and Roeper ep when Ebert straight up pointed at the screen and yelled at everyone to go see May. Dude knew what was up.

I remember really liking Kick rear end when it came out and not really digging it when I watched it a few months ago. A lot hasn't aged well. The sequel wasn't very good either.

I did not care for the Kick-rear end back whenever it was that I watched it... probably around 2013-14. Bad blind-buy!

I saw the 4K announcement and for a very brief moment my "I saw this during the theatrical release and fondly remember the hype behind it" nostalgia threatened to take hold but then I remembered that it's not really a very good movie. Enjoyable at the time, and one I'll pleasantly remember, but not one I need to revisit let alone own. It's a great-looking release, though.

I still like Kick-rear end overall, I think there's some really good stuff in there but you definitely can't argue with the fact that the humor has aged terribly.

The first one isn’t that bad for badly aged humor, at least compared to what I’ve read about the source material. The second one has some more questionable choices. From what I’ve read Mark Millar is a big fan of using “and then they had sex with a black guy” as a punchline. Like a lot. It was the first thing I saw Chloë Grace Moretz in and now she’s 28. Time flies.

I remember thinking "again?" when I saw the trailer, during this epidemic of remaking horror movies from the 70s and 80s, and much like the Dawn of the Dead remake, turning out to be much better than it had any right to be. The_Rob posted:I think the first one is still pretty fun, but watching it now so far removed from that era of film I agree it ages kind of weird. The sequel is outright bad though. I feel Kick-rear end also loses sight of what it was satirising around halfway through, and ends up becoming a fairly generic example of cape poo poo. The sequel is an irredeemable piece of poo poo.

I hope you're looking forward to that sense of excitement when a boutique label announces their upcoming titles, and that sense of dread when you notice a sale is on. The agony and the ecstasy of being a blu collector.

Time flies. Mark Millar is a dipshit edgelord. The movie is actually better than the comic book and I don't say that as a compliment to the film. I read the first issue of Kick rear end 2 and it has the bad guy getting is revenge on Kick rear end by gang racing his girlfriend. That was the last Mark Millar project I ever wasted my time on. Just a lovely writer all around who thinks he's Garth Ennis but without anything that redeems Ennis' frequently terrible impulses.

Been ages since I've even thought about Kick rear end, but from what I remember the source material was so mean spirited and such a big downer that most everyone was fine with the movie adding some traditional superhero elements to balance it out. Anecdotally Kick rear end 2 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life, and iirc it sticks closer in tone to the comics, so take that for what it's worth

I have felt kinda bad for a decade about that blind buy and have even questioned if I was wrong in my initial assessment. Thank you, the something awful physical media thread, for the repeated affirmations that I Was Right, and also that The Movie Is poo poo.

Recently I regretted blind buying Furiosa. The movie really just does nothing for me and it's so flat looking compared to Fury Road. I rewatched it a second time(didn't change my opinion) and will probably even give it a third chance at some point down the line because I'm stubborn about getting my money's worth out of my movies.
