The Cameo posted:Uh, sure, Sony bought a film studio in 1989 solely to monopolize high definition home video formats seventeen years later. This is hilarious because the original home video format war, Betamax vs. VHS, happened 15 years before that. Sony developed Betamax.

Coaaab posted:I'll be honest, half the movie felt like a slog, and you could've easily cut 40 minutes from it. No way they'll manage to top the two magnificent scenes that cap the picture, though. I never felt that it was a slog, I thought a lot of that was vital to the main character's arc and in that sense I think Wiig is a bit miscast because now people will expect her to be funny and it would diminish the impact of those two scenes (both of which were applauded at my screening). She does the more dramatic stuff fine in something like Bridesmaids but it would have been better to cast someone who wasn't known for comedy.

You could, no poo poo, buy a Betamax cassette in Japan in certain electronics stores until March of last year. And I know that a lot of news shows basically have stuff up through the mid-00s on Beta at the very least as an archival copy.

A Hollywood remake of Erdmann comes off as a bit funny to me as the thing that shocked me most about the film was that about 30% of the dialogue was in English.

Cacator posted:They still use fax machines and those old paper credit card copiers. That's because Japan is pretty much anti-credit card due to some really terrible banking laws. The Japanese banking system is essentially stuck in the 19th century with everything that implies. Well, no debtor's prisons. But they will prevent their employees from adding extra coal to the fires warming their offices! Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Feb 8, 2017 |

The only thing bad about Spaceballs is the animated series they did on G4 a decade ago.

I'm still not 100% convinced they exist. Last time this came up, there were two photos of one of them in the entire history of existence.

I loved Spy Hard. Haven't seen it in fifteen years so I can't say if it holds up or not, but it does have Andy Griffith as a double amputee Bond villain.

I liked that when Andy Griffith died, at least one news show I watched used clips from Spy Hard instead of the Andy Griffith Show or Matlock when they gave his obituary. Good times.
