I enjoyed parts of Red Lips. I'd always thought of SoV movies as simply too lovely for me to ever get into. This is a worrying development.

I still got time to think on it. Might just take the weekend and see if any reviews pop up and what else needs to be said. It’s not like I’m itching to open it and the blu-ray I do have looks good. Just would’ve been nice to have gotten a final version for home video.

I have never* disagreed with Gripweed, you do seem to be a barometer of the eclectic taste I enjoy, but Lloyd is a treasure. After doing like 500 of these intros occasionally there's a less enthralling one, but it's also a pleasure to see Lloyd. I even search for Lloyd Kaufman podcast/video interviews on youtube every year and catch up, he does so many of those. Got to see him live one time too, whatta guy. * editor's note: ok probably at least 5 times but still it's not too often! Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 03:04 on May 17, 2024 |

Got my copies of Stop Making Sense and Pi from A24 today. Stop Making Sense feels like a nice solid, but larger, case. Pi though is all paper. Design is cool but doesn't feel like it will last.

 Sony is releasing a 20-disc Three Stooges collection on Blu-ray on July 23: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D49XFZ4V (Just added to Amazon, so it's at MSRP) It features 100 classic shorts (roughly half of the overall Columbia tenure), plus 20 bonus solo comedy shorts, and eight feature films. Seems like they opted to pick and choose 100 shorts instead of it being purely chronological, which opens the door for a second volume.

I thought the first couple I saw were OK but the one for Vegas in Space was rubbed me the wrong way. And then I lost power literally 30 seconds into the movie so that intro was all I got!

And then I lost power literally 30 seconds into the movie so that intro was all I got! Right on, I mostly own the classics he directed. That's cool. For me, I own about five 4K discs, the most physical media I've bought in years is Discotek blu-rays for old anime, DVDs of old TV shows that aren't on streaming, etc. Since it's a more niche thing now like they mention, much like another niche thing I like, US comics (manga is popular though), comics and color graphic novels just get more pricey over time. And physical media movies just get more expensive, so I only buy a few these days. And I'm happy enough with the blu-rays that I only upgrade say something from one of my top 20 movies etc, or something where the blu-ray was notably messed up etc. Plus I have a cheap TCL 4K TV in a room where the lights are usually on, so I feel like HDR is this special extra feature, the truth is I don't really need super high quality. I just want the stuff I dig at a cheap price if possible. The numbers that article mentioned for streaming movies is interesting. I'm guessing that doesn't include stuff available for rent digitally? That might up the number. I'm sure DVD would still be bigger though.

I've never bought a blu-ray player myself, just PS3 (rip), PS4, and PS5. Right now the main reason I'd consider getting a player is so I can leave a Laverne & Shirley DVD in one of them, and a BSG blu-ray in one, and stuff.

I’ve kinda hemmed and hawed about getting a real 4K disc player because apparently PS5 doesn’t support Dolby Vision which I’m told is a difference maker? I mean I have this bitchin LG OLED, so clearly I want the best picture possible.

A24 releases are expensive though, and the packaging is cheaply made. But I wanted the 4K and it's a nostalgic film for me. One option is instead of buying another Pi copy, you could put those funds towards a region free player.

Devil in a Blue Dress is so cool! I've been thinking of reading those books too. Point Break is one of the greats. Candyman too, this is a lovely stack. I got the Candyman DVD back when I watched DVD extras a lot, sometimes with my friends, so we just kept saying "Cabrini Green" all the time, and doing impressions of Clive Barker's smokey voice. Ah the early 20s, when every piece of pop culture became of friend group meme.

Just a heads up on those cheap paramount 4k movies: the digital code for my red October had a "may expire" date of October 17 this year. So if that's a thing you may be interested in act sooner than later.

couple more hints about the VS and Melusine secret releasesquote:But you still need to wait for the Sale to go live to learn the identity of our demented double bill of 70s horror classics along with the true identity of our UHD action epic. quote:Of course, the most exciting part of the Sale will be the unveiling of our two May releases, from Quality X and Command Cinema, which up until the sale goes live, will remain shrouded in mystery - quite fitting as one of them is a murder mystery. Anyone know a noteworthy pornographic murder mystery?

Not saying anything anyone here doesn't already know, but goddamn, I just watched Dune Part 2 on Not HBO and despite a more than adequate connection and it supposedly being in 4K, the amount of horrible pixelation is ridiculous. Looking forward to the UHD release.
