Egbert Souse posted:That movie must be incomprehensible in pan & scan. Any nostalgia I might have for VHS ends as soon as I think about this. Poor sound and picture quality is one thing, but 99% of the films you find on VHS are presented in an incorrect aspect ratio. Sure some of the covers were cool, but VHS was cinephiles' worst enemy.

I passed up The Third Man Criterion blu-ray at Barnes and Noble a few days after it was announced to be OOP because I hadn't heard the news. I found out the next day. I rushed back to the store and nope

Egbert Souse posted:I don't think I ever pre-ordered a Criterion, though I ordered Army of Shadows when it was going OOP off Criterion's site. Well worth it. The only Criterion I've pre-ordered is the Before Trilogy a couple months ago because it was $39.95 at Amazon by mistake.

Anonymous Robot posted:Here's Georges Méliès' "The Astronomer's Dream" (1898). This is an interesting counterpart to "A Trip to the Moon" (1902). As "Trip" makes clear, Méliès finds the scientific mindset to be a target for ridicule. In "Dream," we see a more sympathetic, but by no means forgiving, take on the scientist. Both this film and your analysis are great. Thanks for sharing.

eXistenz is good. And so is Scanners. And Naked Lunch. In fact aside from his pre-Shivers stuff there aren't any bad Cronenberg movies.

Got my ticket for The Love Witch tonight. My last chance to see it in the theater. I'm not the type who absolutely must see every interesting movie in the theater, but this one looks so appealing on a visual level that I'd feel like I'm missing out if I didn't catch it.

weekly font posted:Is Gangs of New York the worst Scorsese? I feel like I just watched his worst movie by a good amount. Late to this, but holy poo poo no it's not. Gangs of New York is amazing. Scorsese hasn't ever made a bad movie, but the weakest that I've seen is The Color of Money.

Magic Hate Ball posted:The relatively quiet dramas of the early Simpsons are what make it so powerfully good - once it abandoned that earnest love for its own characters, it was over. It reached its apex of quality when the quiet drama combined seamlessly with the clever humor. That only lasted a few seasons. I'd say seasons 3 4 and 5 were its peak in this regard.

I'd like to know this too, which is why a thread would be great. I've only seen The Cook the Thief His Wife and Her Lover and A Zed and Two Noughts. Cook Thief... is one of my favorite movies.

A reminder to KC horror goons: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is showing tonight at the Alamo Drafthouse, and Joe Bob Briggs will be there in person to host it. It's a 35mm screening. Looks like there's a handful of tickets left.

CPL593H posted:I have an irrational hatred of people calling records "vinyls" and I can't stand when people who don't even own turntables buy records. Calling a record a vinyl is exceedingly common and accepted (although some purists will be annoyed at pluralizing "vinyl"). And buying records is more about the aesthetic of the product than the actual playback, at least for most people. Large artwork, big foldout sleeves, etc. I'd say you're right on the mark with "irrational".

I just pulled a George Costanza. I was on a conference call where we were demoing an application to a client which I partially designed. As they were discussing a part of the app that I wasn't involved with, I started dicking around with Photoshop and wasn't paying attention to the call (I was alone in the room). After a few minutes of concentrating on my non work related Photoshop doodle, I hear "Does that make sense, Chris?" (I'm Chris). I unmute the phone in a panic and reply "Yep!". gently caress.

Oh I could made any number of excuses and it'd have been no problem. "Sorry I was on the other line for a moment," "Sorry I stepped out to the restroom," hell even "I didn't catch it all, could you please repeat?" would have been fine. But my spineless reflex just had to be to play it off with "Yep". And I should add the voice who asked if it made sense was my boss.
