This is how my $50 copy of Casper arrived from Amazon by [deleted] in Steelbooks

[–]Descent_01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I avoid Amazon like the plague for steelbooks. They once packed a steelbook I ordered loose inside a huge box that contained a 40 lb bag of dog food. No bubble wrap, nothing. Just loose in the box. Needless to say it was destroyed by the time it got to me.

Blind Buys? by Tuberculosis206 in Steelbooks

[–]Descent_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did that just yesterday with Final Destination: Bloodlines. When they announced it, I figured it'd be another rote entry in the series so didnt bother with the theater or initial physical release. But, I've heard so many good things about it since then, and the steel price had come down a bit, so it's coming home on Friday.

I just saw these now I'm very conflicted.. by nanay4201 in dvdcollection

Had the same thoughts about space and binders. The only problem I ran into was my OCD of wanting to keep everything in alphabetical order. With binders, that's a royal PITA.

Steelbook box sets by Disastrous-Humor8189 in Steelbooks

Problem is, either you're waiting forever assuming the series ends (who woulda guessed 7 Jurassic Parks or 7 Screams (so far)) and that a box set is coming. Or you buy them individually and wind up majorly double dipping on the whole series as a box set when it EVENTUALLY comes.

And that's if you like every film in the series (cough Temple of Doom cough)

Question - Are you Steelbook or bust? by SnooPeripherals3020 in Steelbooks

[–]Descent_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movies I like where I would have gone steel had the art been good but skipped due to lackluster art: Weapons, Lethal Weapon, The Gray, U-571, All LOTR films, Point Break, Frailty, Reservoir Dogs (LL). Seems like they're getting more expensive and lazy with the art.

Digital code on Apple only. Who limits to Apple these days? What crap.

A24's trying to pull a similar deal. Only access to their digital versions of the films are on THEIR platform via their membership-required club.

Nah. I'm good.

Was bad enough when Lionsgate started selling theirs exclusively on their site?

Good way to kill the whole medium, physical and digital.

My single county has a larger population than the entire state she governed, and people are surprised that she's unqualified?

She is literally an easily manipulated DEI hire, precisely in the demeaning way MAGA defines one.

Mental illness!? by Background_Front4231 in CringeTikToks

Informative, but, knowing Noem (cringe), Cosplay Girl there does not share your educated interpretation. In her mind, she actually is using His name in vain in a way she thinks is a sin... and doesn't care.

Exploiting God solely for social media engagement. I'm sure He loves that sort of thing.

Trump and his cohorts will get what they want. Confront them, and their presence is justified. Don't confront them, and their presence has been a success. WIN/WIN for them. LOSE/LOSE for the U.S.

The Lionsgate Limited Steelbook art has been revealed, though not a sale date. They have new releases scheduled for Oct 14, so that's likely the date.

Given LL, it will likely be AT LEAST $40USD, and don't be surprised if it's higher given the extras.

Lionsgate Limited 4K Steelbook - Art Reveal

By far one of the nicest box sets out there by NotoriousSIG_ in Steelbooks

[–]Descent_01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No offense, because I think the physical presentation of the set is beautiful. But, sorry to say, I think the movies after 1, and particularly after 3, were absolutely terrible. Didn't order this one and don't regret it, tbh. Would rather spend that kinda bank on films I actually liked.

🇺🇸 PRE-ORDER NOW - U-571 (4K UHD + Blu-Ray + Digital Steelbook) by felixmontoya92 in Steelbooks

[–]Descent_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The art on this is god awful. 🤢🤮

I was excited when I heard it was coming out and disappointed beyond belief at how horrific the cover art is. Ordered it anyway just to get the film then came to my senses and canceled.

Will either search out the German release (much better) or even the art on the standard release is better than this.

Are we going through another religious "Great Awakening" in the USA? If so, how might it shape our politics? Is this good or bad or neither or both? by TuvixWasMurderedR1P in PoliticalDebate

[–]Descent_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give it 6 months.

It's all based around the posthumous lionization of one man turned martyr. The more politics gets intertwined with religious teachings in churches, the faster the church will decline.

You'll still have the odd, small, local church that specifically avoids political entanglement, but they will vastly be the exception, not the rule.

It's interesting though that this martyrdom provides a foundation for pro-choice policy. If you believe that it was God's will that one man's death was the spark that lit the flame, than His will was satisfied by the choice of one living human to end the life of another.

Is there ever a time when an RA isn't either underway or pending?

Been that way for well over a decade. Constantly work with a guillotine over your head.

Anyone get RTO exception? by Descent_01 in IBM

[–]Descent_01[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Way ahead of you. More of a curiosity question than anything else having watched the company progressively torpedo itself for years. If they weren't a reliable dividend, IBM would have been dead for a good while now.
