Movie Thread

That is a pretty specific interest so I get the lack of public info, but that's still pretty fun. I used to think of myself as our resident cinephile but you're definitely more into it than me.

I think you're still the resident cinephile, I'm just a lot more engaged with the physical media side of it.

Still feels weird they made a musical.

I tried to post a separate post for joker but I accidentally deleted my reply to you.

Just a comment that I could see you getting into film cameras.

Still feels weird they made a musical.

Hunger Games musical got similar critic reviews but ended up being pretty popular with audiences. Maybe Joker will have the same fate.

I may have gone way overboard on some of the early prime deals....

On 4K:
- Arrival
- Ghostbusters 1
- John Wick 1-3
- Truman Show
- Gladiator/Braveheart

On 4K:
- The Arrival

Very very nice.

Unless you meant a movie literally called The Arrival.

I meant "Arrival".  

[Legend]

I meant "Arrival".  

I didn't know, maybe there was a niche anime movie called the arrival  

[the-pi-guy]

Ooof this is going to be a lot.

I have like 40 discs to rip. Going to be fun!  











Got the above on 4k, except Robot Dreams

Also got two animated series that I think the kids will like. (Rugrats and Jimmy Neutron)

I also went overboard on actual prime deals.

Finally ordered Indiana Jones 4k
The Martian 4k
Interstellar 4k (that's right, I ordered Legends 3 favorite scifi movies in 2 weeks /jk)
Mena Girls 4k

I'll be done for a while... 

[Legend]

The new Mena girls was so bad. Turned it off within 30 minutes.

Oh also I finally saw Inside Out 2. It was good. Felt like a repeat of the first but I never rewatched the first so that wasn't too bad. What was up with the gray memories in a few scenes? I only remember sadness making everything blue.

[the-pi-guy]

I took advantage of the 3 for 2, like 3 times...

A few other things were half off or more. (Indiana Jones was $28 instead of ~$60)

[darkknightkryta]

I watched Dune 2.

It was good. First half was a lot like Avatar which was funny. Liked it better than the first.

I remember when I was in university, I took a Science Fiction course (English class).  Dune was one of the books we needed to read.  Our prof said "Just watch the mini-series, it's close enough".  So I "found it" on Kazaa since Space showed it randomly.  I rememeber having a conversation with my class mates in one of the labs about how Frank Hurbert's son had found his (Frank's) notes, so he was going to write out the ending.

Anyways, I saw Dune 2 over the summer on T.V. and it was more or less a scene by scene of the mini-series, just with movie budget.  So I'll assume it was pretty close.

I read books now. Maybe I should actually just read the book.
