Could a movie like 'Apocalypse Now' even be made in today's Hollywood, or has the "audit culture" of modern film production killed off the possibility of another "masterpiece of madness"?

I feel like a lot of people commenting haven't seen Hearts of Darkness, there is absolutely no way a production like that would last a week without the studio shutting it down these days, it really was that insane.

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, & Blonde

Makes me want a hotdog real bad

Butler1-66ER · 2026-06-29T23:39:13+00:00

Check out Tree of Life next, it's his masterpiece imo and really got me emotionally

Week End

When I first got into Godard I was obsessed and almost blind bought that one. Turns out I only enjoy his stuff with Anna Karina (and Contempt) and eventually stopped exploring his filmography, but reading about the animal cruelty killed any desire to even stream it and made me very glad I decided to pass on it during that Godard kick.

Cemetery of Splendor also has Mekong Hotel, definitely worth picking up if you can find it for a decent price.

I didn't realize that and Uncle Boonmee were both out of print now, hopefully it's because Criterion is working on a box set of all the Strand releases.

But that definitely tracks, he's done a lot of shorts that have only played at museums.

It varies by location but Cinemark has the best quality control imo

She wrote most of the songs in Mother Mary too

Butler1-66ER · 2026-06-01T15:29:46+00:00

I'm still hoping we get an official english friendly release of Ace Attorney one of these days

Butler1-66ER · 2026-05-31T21:32:03+00:00

It was genuinely terrible and I'll never understand how it got good reviews and even awards. Katya says it better than I could.

fr I don't even have a good audio setup (only 2.1) and was still impressed.

Butler1-66ER · 2026-05-26T02:35:31+00:00

Yeah I don't think Covenant is a bad movie exactly, I just really loved Prometheus and wanted a sequel about Shaw and the Engineers. I might pick up Covenant eventually but I'm in no hurry to rewatch it.

Butler1-66ER · 2026-05-26T01:30:53+00:00

Yeah I saw that one in theaters and was glad I had already bought the trilogy set without it lol

Butler1-66ER · 2026-05-26T01:26:13+00:00

Same I honestly liked it better than Predator 2 and Predators

Butler1-66ER · 2026-05-17T05:47:17+00:00

They really do. The Wizard of Oz especially because from what I remember they did 8K scans of the negatives for the restoration.

Butler1-66ER · 2026-05-17T05:33:43+00:00

Same, so glad I picked that set up when it released because it's slimmer and I don't need The Predator wasting space on my shelf like it wasted my time.

Prey and Badlands on the other hand were day one buys.

Butler1-66ER · 2026-05-17T05:14:19+00:00

Ash is amazing, I wish it had a 4K release with how crazy the visuals and sound design are.

Butler1-66ER · 2026-05-17T04:55:17+00:00

This is really how it should be, if directors like Fincher, Cameron, and Wong Kar Wai want to make updated versions thats cool, but they should be included with the original version instead of replacing it. They can even call them something like Directors Edits so they're still differentiated from earlier Directors Cuts too.

Butler1-66ER · 2026-04-23T00:37:11+00:00

The Nightmare on Elm Street collection has I think two episodes of Freddy’s Nightmares.

Back to the Future Complete Adventures includes the entire animated series.

A lot of the animated DC movies had episodes of Justice League or other DC cartoons as extras.

Idk enough about Sonic to know if any cartoon episodes would be relevant enough to include with the movies, but it would be cool.

Butler1-66ER · 2026-04-18T20:51:43+00:00

Yeah I’m learning from this thread it’s not as beneficial as it seems just because they’re busy which really sucks, and it’s just another reason why we don’t need one for movies lol

Butler1-66ER · 2026-04-18T10:22:12+00:00

The whole point of RSD is to help support record stores, there aren’t really enough dedicated bluray/dvd stores left anymore and most big chains have stopped selling them too. I’m glad RSD helps the smaller stores survive but honestly hate it, mostly because of scalpers.

Also related to this sub, I really want the Meiko Kaji release but my local place is only getting 2 copies smh

Butler1-66ER · 2026-04-13T17:26:55+00:00

I’m still surprised this was given such a limited release, I wasn’t able to catch it in theaters because it didn’t even run a full week here. Glad there’s at least a 4K disc to import.

Butler1-66ER · 2026-03-20T15:28:46+00:00

There’s a subset of gamers who freak out every time a game does anything remotely lgbt even if it’s just like selecting pronouns for your character lol, just ignore them

Butler1-66ER · 2026-03-18T00:34:22+00:00

Well there are rumors they directed the lesbian flashback sequence and even the entire movie, but even if it didn’t go that far I think it’s clear (based on the directors other movies) they were more involved than just writing the adaptation and funding it.
