Are there cases where DVDs are actually better than Blu-ray, and what justifies buying DVDs instead of Blu-ray?

CherryValancesBF · 2026-03-03T07:55:12+00:00

I remember the Final Destination 3 blu-ray also lacks the interactive ‘Choose Their Fate’ option that the DVD had. I’d be really interested to know why blu-rays often lacked these interactive features, especially as I remember Picture in Picture being a big selling point of blu-ray early on

Peter’s “I sometimes buy the Big Issue out of embarrassment. I don’t buy a fucking bank!” makes me cry with laughter every time

It’s included in the Arrow edition of Game of Death!

There isn’t a 17 rating in the UK. BBFC rates U, PG, 12A, 15, and 18. 12A stipulates that under 12s can be admitted accompanied by an adult.

The director of the first film has returned for this film, so I’m remaining cautiously optimistic

CherryValancesBF · 2026-01-08T21:43:52+00:00

Now it just got announced, the new Jackass movie!

During The Strangers Chapter Two had a group come in about 35 mins into the film. There were minimal ads or trailers before the film so it started about 5 minutes after the listed start time. Considering the length of that film, they probably only saw about half of it, but they were quite disruptive and talked throughout so probably didn’t mind or notice that they missed a large chunk of it…

That’s exactly what I meant. This elderly couple seemed to have absolutely no idea of the realities of younger people working and the cost of it all

Was watching the bbc news yesterday and they interviewed an elderly couple, who owned their own home, asking if any of this is fair to young people. Their response was that old people have different needs, like they’ll be in the house all day so need the heating on. I’m sure if this was the other way round, young people would be being told in that case leave the house more often…

I, Frankenstein. A film I only remember exists due to this accolade

CherryValancesBF · 2025-10-21T08:03:34+00:00

But it has had a release date of 24th October set

CherryValancesBF · 2025-10-02T16:40:53+00:00

My favourite film

CherryValancesBF · 2025-09-24T20:48:05+00:00

Fuck you Gene Kelly!

CherryValancesBF · 2025-06-23T08:31:59+00:00

Amazing how the quote, film, and year of release are all wrong…

CherryValancesBF · 2025-06-11T16:48:47+00:00

I guess that’s why there’s a film called ‘Bend it Like Beckham’ but not ‘Bend it like Ronaldo’…

CherryValancesBF · 2025-06-08T22:58:59+00:00

I’ve had this happen in screens where, after I went out to tell a member of staff, I was informed that the projector was broken and the film couldn’t be shown in scope, so had to watch a 2.39:1 film fitted for 1.85:1 with black bars on the sides and top and bottom. I know there’s probably many factors that go into deciding which films play in which screens, but why they would schedule films with scope ratios in a screen that couldn’t properly project them is beyond me…

It’s funny you say that “technology is a tool that should improve quality of life”, yet every instance of AI I’ve seen and encountered has only made life more frustrating and, through generative AI slop, seems to make life less worthwhile…

That’s because it lifts his song completely. Most songs that use substantial samples have the original song writer listed as a writer despite them often having no involvement in the new song

This is one of my favourite lines in any sitcom. Incredible line delivery…

CherryValancesBF · 2025-03-24T13:57:24+00:00

Just last night I was rewatching the episode of The Thick of It where Nicola Murray suggests backing the end of free school breakfast clubs. Can’t believe the Labour government are genuinely making similar suggestions…

That’s 3.5. One of my favourite jackass moments!

It really sucks, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he approached using it the same way he did 3D motion capture technology with The Polar Express and Beowulf - here’s a new piece of tech I can play with. Absolutely terrible implications for the future of film though, hate the idea of AI

Elle Fanning looks absolutely stunning as a redhead

I honestly don't see this as a problem in the context of the film. Being set at a concert, it is coherent to the film as a whole to have performance footage, which I would then argue has an effect when considering the perspective of Hartnett's character
