WNUF didn't do much for me either but as a non-American I don't have the same connection to what they were mostly imitating

Elf and Christmas Vacation (along with Jim Carrey's Grinch and the original animated Grinch) are holiday staples in my household that get shown every year so I'm really looking forward being able to present them in 4k for the first time this year. Hopefully they do a good job with them. They don't know it yet but I'm adding in Fatman with Mel Gibson and Walton Goggins this year and they'll never see it coming.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I’ve literally never seen any release cover for this movie that wasn’t just the old Clark-being-electrocuted poster, to the point where I genuinely thought this was a different movie for a second I think I'm just gonna go out of my way and make a custom slipcover for this thing. What the gently caress...

bowmore posted:WNUF didn't do much for me either but as a non-American I don't have the same connection to what they were mostly imitating WNUF is just more interesting in concept than execution. It's really underwhelming and while the fake commercials arewas a fun gimmick they definitely over did and it the whole time I was waiting to see more of the story part which itself was just a weak version of stuff we've seen done much better decades ago. Maybe being American gives it an extra layer but I'm not British and I certainly enjoyed Ghost Watch. Even if each of these films is referential to TV broadcasts of their respective countries one of them stands on their own and if WNUF was a better movie it would too.

I just bit the bullet going into Halloween season and ordered the Australian Over the Garden Wall blu-ray which I've gleaned from forum posts is region free. Cartoon Network sucks for letting their physical media coverage get so spotty, I think you can get Adventure Time now at least but only as a boxed set and not as individual seasons after a certain point? I could be wrong on that one, I just remember feeling slighted by having bought some seasons piecemeal already.

It’s been confirmed by Gorilla Pictures that Vinegar Syndrome will be releasing a 4K of Sidekicks (the Chuck Norris film) in the future. There’s also (pretty convincing) related speculation that the Cynthia Rothrock film Sworn to Justice is coming too, which is super exciting. I haven’t seen Sidekicks since the 90s, could be worth revisiting! Edit: Sworn to Justice has now been confirmed “this month or next” by Gorilla Pictures rep - probably November based on what we know so far - let’s loving go boys PinkoBastard fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Sep 6, 2022 |

The AGFA Doris Wishman box sets magnetically stick together. edit: Also, they reassigned the catalog numbers at some point since the initial announcement. Twilight Years is 38, Moonlight Years is 39, Final Flesh is 41, so the third Wishman set will be 40. This Is the Zodiac fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Sep 7, 2022 |

for a brief minute i was like “what if people ordering the Wishman sets unknowingly put them next to some vhs on their shelf…??” but then i remembered the only people buying them will obviously 100% know not to do that

the first one holds up. its still very funny and works exceptionally well. the second one just like when it came out is more of the same, but its still pretty funny and works. that third one is still pretty rough.

Goldmember is the Godfather III of comedy trilogies, I still cannot get over how bad it was. I always liked Spy Who Shagged Me more than the original too.

I showed it to my gal a few years ago, and yeah, I was surprised at how much held up. The reference I made in my last post is maybe the roughest, but I think it does a good job of showing that Austin is out-of-touch and needs to change. Oh, and if you ever wanna be horrified, look up Random Task.

Most of the jokes are about how Austin's "charm" is completely outdated and he needs to change if he's going to fit into the modern world. And as the movie goes on he does change, he starts to express himself more genuinely and tries to connect with Vanessa on a human level not just a "wanna shag?" level.

I didn’t see any of the late 90s or early 00s sex comedies when I was of an age where I might have enjoyed them, so now I just don’t care. No real desire to watch American Pie or Austin Powers at this point.

No real desire to watch American Pie or Austin Powers at this point. Austin Powers isn't a sex comedy. It's a James Bond/60's spy movie parody, where the main character is an outdated Sex Icon from the 60's. It's (stupidly) horny, but it's not a sex comedy like American Pie or Eurotrip.

StudioCanal is putting out a UHD of The Driver. I got to see it on 35mm earlier in the year and it’s a banger. Drive cribs from it directly. I’m hoping this means Kino will get a crack at the US release. I’d watch it again. God, it’s so cool seeing them do poo poo with cars and know that they’re actually doing it!

I'd love SLC Punk and Synecdoche, New York 50/50, but I didn't want to buy the columbia collections, and they (sony) started releasing poo poo from that first volume a year later (like lawrence of arabia and strangelove) I'm actually waiting out taxi driver from vol 2 of that. The Hitchcock stuff, though that's universal, all got individual skus, and they also started doing that for the universal monsters stuff. I feel like the expensive sets are subsidizing the releases and then the rest of us just buy the normal poo poo, and they'd be idiots to not want to sell as many copies of a release as possible. The majority of these companies just do a second cut or something exclusive or other bonus stuff or knick knacks for dummies. Not many of these get stuck in sets forever. Plus even if they do, some other region will license the work already done and uhd is region free, so someone will get my money. i'd buy run lola run, city of lost children, slc, and synedoche for sure. gently caress a msrp of 300 bucks though, FOH sony zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Sep 8, 2022 |

This Is the Zodiac posted:For some reason this is always how people remember this quote, when what he actually says in the movie is "It's a man, man" You've got it wrong. The quote is "Luke. I am a man, baby!". Anyway, I always liked the first movie. It was pretty interesting when I decided to watch all the Sean Connery Bond films in my 20s because then I saw how much poo poo in Austin Powers is just copied directly from those movies. I'm sure some stuff doesn't hold up but the scene where he's trying to turn the little car around in the hallway is one of my all time favorite gags in a movie. The second film is probably one of those things that's hilarious when you're 12-15. I haven't seen that in a solid 15 years. That last movie is utterly dreadful and is crammed full of pop culture references that were already dated when the movie came out. The movie outright admits that they were just beating jokes from the previous one to death.
