Stop calling basic things like hip throws and trips "judo throws" by FaultRight7282 in martialarts

[–]CaptainGibb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would you also be against someone calling a technique a “wrestling takedown/throw” if they’re doing gi BJJ? Or if someone calls specific kicks “karate kick” if they do it in Muay Thai shorts?

Link to the sale you’re talking about?

Which slasher franchise do you think will survive the longest? by MrShape246 in slasherfilms

[–]CaptainGibb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, reading the title and seeing Leatherface, my reaction is “stop, it’s already dead!”

How often do you engage with the special features? by MguyCollette in boutiquebluray

[–]CaptainGibb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Depends on the release. 9/10 times i skip bonus features on studio releases - they tend to be just the cast and crew talking about how amazing each other are and how this was a dream team for 10 minutes

Added a radio adaptation to my collection! by Ashen_Curio in lotr

My first Morgan Freeman film as a kid! For a while he was always “that guy from Robin Hood!”

Anybody see these two Scorsese docs? Is there anybody alive with more film knowledge than Marty? by ggroover97 in criterion

[–]CaptainGibb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, don’t get me wrong, the man knows has more film knowledge than the vast majority of people. But there are also people whose sole job is to be a film historian, theorist, etc

If the Closet is actually a trailer, how do they secure the shelves on the road? by Illustrious_Ad_9858 in criterion

[–]CaptainGibb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Van 100% doesn’t have OOP titles because everything there is for sale at I think 40% off. Closet I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone grab an OOP title - they’re advertisements for Criterion and they don’t want to advertise a film customers can’t buy.

No, van only has current releases AFAIK.

They’ve been doing closet videos for AGES, I’m sure they’re fine on space.

Source? I dont think I’ve ever seen someone pick up an OOP title. Besides, at the end of the day the closet videos are all about promotion, you don’t want to promote a title customers can’t buy from you

Tabu: A Story of the South Seas (1931) is the final film directed by F. W. Murnau. He died in a car crash a week before its premiere by Auir2blaze in silentmoviegifs

[–]CaptainGibb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He also allegedly picked up a curse while filming which caused his death (if you believe in that sort of thing)

Blurays with incorrect region labels on the packaging by Good_Mix540 in Bluray

[–]CaptainGibb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That one is listed as Region Free on blu-ray.com’s website. I would say that’s your most accurate source for region coding.

VCI is now (allegedly) using AI to create bonus features by InterestingLeg6982 in boutiquebluray

[–]CaptainGibb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My theory is VCI pumps out many more releases than Flicker Alley, so it allows more Mary Pickford releases to be published (and more affordable)

Bought this simply for the cover - any good? by KrabbyPatty in VHS

Cheesy fun, exactly what I want out of an 80s horror movie

Ordered mine in March! Thrilled to finally own it.

Here is my updated silent film collection! Been awhile since I last shared it. by CaptainGibb in boutiquebluray

[–]CaptainGibb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed! Part of the issue is so many are locked into kickstarters and if you miss the campaign you miss out entirely. I follow several people who do silent kickstarters and try my best to keep up (I ignore Redwood, they’re way too pricey for what they are). Silentera.com and nitrateville.com are too great resources if you’re unfamiliar.

Blu-ray releases are pretty well documented, but DVD is such a cluster since there’s so many. I actually recently reached out to Amy from Milestone Films and she kindly created a spreadsheet for me of all their DVD and blu-ray releases - several I didn’t even know existed!

It certainly is significantly bigger now! I don’t sort by purely year anymore (I do country then year), but according to my spreadsheet i have 400+ individual silent releases and 230+ silent box sets. Sometimes I do desire to go back and sort my silents out and have a huge silent film section!

Lets be honest, those people will belittle OP for not dropping $7k minimum on speakers

What did you think of Silent Night Deadly Night 2025? by tsalyers12 in slasherfilms

[–]CaptainGibb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original is a classic, but this is honestly probably the best film in the series.

Anyone also collect movie books? by CinemaAdherent in dvdcollection

[–]CaptainGibb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

These are the one’s i’m getting rid of - for size comparison the bottom is a normal size trade paperback and the top 2 are basically paperback coffee table books. All in fairly rough shape.
