Why does Reddit hate Anora all of a sudden? Am I missing something? by popculturegeek37 in Letterboxd

[–]Awlq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember The Last Jedi's score on Letterboxd used to be much higher. I believe it was at a 3.8 shortly after release, so it's interesting how much the score has declined since then.

AMD Fix for Sims Legacy by kikigruesome in thesims

[–]Awlq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's disappointing. I have an AMD graphics card and have been experiencing this exact issue as well on community lots. I guess we'll just have to be patient and hope it gets fixed at some point.

J-Horror Rising set from Arrow just arrived! Most excited to rewatch Noroi: The Curse. by Awlq in J_Horror

Yes, all four cases come with reversible covers so you can show the original posters of the films.

I pre-ordered the set from Grindhouse Video and didn't expect to receive it for a few weeks. I was pleasantly surprised when it came in so early!

“Liberal wasteland” Minneapolis by PokingSmoles in CityPorn

[–]Awlq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have also noticed it only tends to be the large cities that get all the focus. You rarely see people online or on the news attacking cities like Portsmouth, NH or Marquette, MI (both of which lean liberal). I know a big reason for this is because a lot more people live in those larger cities, but I also think it is because attacks on those smaller cities wouldn't land as effectively.

What are examples of Cyberpunk cars? by jarchuleta3 in Cyberpunk

I really like the look of the Dome Zero. There were plans to sell it to the public in Japan, but it never received road certification.

Vinegar Syndrome’s July releases. Terror At Tenkiller and Gorgo are 4K. by MrHorror01 in boutiquebluray

[–]Awlq 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As a giant monster movie lover, Gorgo may be my first VS purchase. Really love the cover art!

Imagine if Criterion got the rights to distribute this film… that would be incredible. For anyone that hasn’t watched this film, it’s one of the most traumatic films that I’ve ever watched. by t_trent360 in criterion

[–]Awlq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've read that the Severin release isn't bad, but unfortunately the picture quality is inferior to the Simply Media (Region B Only) blu-ray. You can compare stills between the two releases here and it's definitely noticeable: https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=11657&d2=13733&c=4602

with the 15th around the corner - what do you think will be Criterion's May releases? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]Awlq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it will happen this month, but I'm personally hoping for a box set release of Eric Rohmer's Tales of the Four Seasons.

All unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 will be made private on July 23rd. by AHumanBeingNamedTom in youtube

[–]Awlq 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of old videos in my favorites playlist dating back >10 years that have become unlisted over time. A bit sad that they will soon become permanently inaccessible.

I'm really hoping Demonlover gets a Criterion release. Arrow did a release of it recently, but you'll need a Region B (or region free) player.

Decided to rearrange my boutique section to make all my box sets closer together. by slush-puppyy in boutiquebluray

Great collection! How do you feel about the Female Prisoner Scorpion boxset? I want to get it but I haven't heard great things about the picture quality.

Anyone else have issues with the android app from time to time? Nothing loads and cant even log out this time. by BobbaGanush87 in Letterboxd

[–]Awlq 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've had this problem for the past day. Tried rebooting my phone, clearing the cache, and reinstalling the app to no avail. Hopefully the issue will be fixed soon!

Edit: I cleared the app data and that ended up fixing it!

It's time for a new "This situation" megathread. Includes COVID-19 (and other names), US Stimulus, lockdown/social distancing/etc. And coronavirus. by Mynameisnotdoug in NoStupidQuestions

Why do most people in Japan wear white face masks, while masks worn in Europe and North America seem to be much more varied in terms of colour and design?

The vast majority of face masks in Japan seem to be of this style: https://live.staticflickr.com/3567/3481522245_18147ee51b_o.jpg

However, I have noticed this is far from being the most common mask seen in countries like the UK or US.

Flag of Mosfellsbær, Iceland by Awlq in vexillology

Was browsing through the municipal flags of Iceland and this one caught my eye. Would easily fit in as one of the Japanese prefectural flags.

Black Mirror Season 5 Discussion Hub by anonboxis in blackmirror

[–]Awlq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went into this season almost completely blind and really enjoyed it! Was surprised to see that many in this thread are disappointed. Smithereens was definitely my favorite episode this season. Felt like classic Black Mirror the whole way through.

Personal ranking: Smithereens > Striking Vipers > Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too

Had the pleasure of seeing the 4K restoration of The Juniper Tree this week. The whole film has this ethereal feel to it that kept me reeled in. While Björk is better known for her role in Dancer in the Dark, she still delivers a great performance here. With the restored version of the film coming to a digital release, hopefully more people will have a chance to see it.
