I feel empty when I don't own a movie I love. edit: It does kinda suck when your tastes change. I was going through my old DVDs the other day and it was embarrassing what I used to watch. So many random seasons of Family Guy, South Park, Penn and Tellers Bullshit etc. Yaws fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Nov 27, 2015 |

with books/records/films i just set aside a certain amount of shelf space, and if i start to exceed that shelf space, i sell/give away some of the old ones. my record collection is probably most in need of some pruning, although the books are what take up the most space.

I don't buy very many blu-rays, but I do pick up movies that I really love and that have some combination of great transfer quality / good extras. I always wait to snag stuff on a discount though. I've also bought a few blu-rays for movies that are mildly obscure - like I just now pulled the trigger on Kwaidan because the B&N sale price on it is cheaper than buying a used DVD copy off of Amazon, and you can't really go wrong with a Criterion release.

I remember CineD being all pumped up about Blu-ray deals last year. The passion seems to have collectively died. Who killed the world?

How did Tom McCarthy go from directing The Cobbler (2014) to Spotlight (2015)? Holy cow Spotlight was super great. Ruffallo and Keaton are outstanding.

Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:Funny, I've been listening to Burn, Piano Island, Burn a lot lately. I was like 16 when that album came out and my brain exploded. I think their last 3 albums hold up really well as long as I space out my listens. I liked The Locust's New Erections and that's about it on them.

Brooklyn deserves more attention. Subtle and charming filmmaking is a welcome respite from the heavy-handed stuff you see during Oscar season.

Especially in retrospect, Peter Dinklage and Bobby Cannavale are some great casting choices. Honestly I wouldn't it mind it if they did some kind of Before trilogy kind of thing with The Station Agent, and we get a sequel in like five years.

It's funny, there's been Mad Max backlash, including on this forum, because only meme-nerds liked it. Now actual critics are calling it one of the best of the year.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:mine hopped on the blu ray train a year or two ago, but it's worth noting that it's a particularly well funded library. very lucky. My local library's just a branch of the Kansas City Public Library, so I can easily request stuff from other branches, but it's not really partnered with any other systems. The central location gets a lot of good stuff, especially every new Criterion DVD, I'm pretty sure. Raxivace posted:Inherent Vice shouldn't be in the top 20 of anything. Inherent Vice owned. Also, 36th Chamber of Shaolin is so good.

I mostly stream everything these days, with Blu-rays reserved for films with ridiculous extras/commentaries like LOTR. I do. I like owning things and having a library. Plus streaming sites are getting increasingly unreliable when it comes to maintaining a back catalog (Netflix I'm lookin' at you.) Creed is really good BTW. Better than Balboa which I figured was gonna be the definitive send-off, and I like how they sort of position it as acknowledging the past but having its own identity. It's also good to see Michael B. Jordan in a good lead role like this, so the failure of Fantastic Four won't hurt him.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I'm still unsure as to what people actually disliked about Inherent Vice. For me it's the film's complete lack of anything visually interesting at any point in the movie whatsoever. It's like a pale imitation of neo-noir, which already was kind of just an imitation of classic noir to begin with.

Oh yeah, late to the convo, but as far as buying blu rays, I probably won't ever buy say 12 Years a Slave or The Artist on blu ray, but something like Shock Waves or The Deadly Spawn? Yes. A thousand times yes.

In fact I'm trying to recall the last movie I saw that went on too long. Probably Spectre. Uncle Boogeyman posted:yeah Elswit's cinematography is beautiful, and the set/costume design is ridiculously on point. I remember the very first production still I saw of IV and thought it was completely on point. It was not the 90s revival of the 70s that looks like A Very Brady Musical. If you've got parents who have photo albums from the 70s, you'll notice a lot of odd poo poo like ugly synthetic fabrics, earth tones everywhere and crap like double knit corduroy. Sure, it was fashionable not to wear a bra but it was also fashionable to wear coveralls to jobs where you aren't painting a fence.
