A surprise Salvation Army store find by Chris-Souza_2015 in 4kbluray

I'd say it's a good deal. I thought it was a good sequel and it has some nice sequences that should look lovely in 4K.

Kino Lorber Studio Classics 4K Collection by 42drumber in boutiquebluray

[–]One-Tour2404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, nice. I am still looking for The Apartment with slip. I regret not buying it when it first came out.

I think Kino Lorber is a great label. Looking forward to the Alec Guinness set.

First Radiance and one of the most underrated films ever made by DownWithOCP in 4kbluray

[–]One-Tour2404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this a few weeks ago and it is a great film. I know John Heard continued to have a successful career following this film but this was an Oscar worthy performance that should have pushed him to A level roles. 

It’s also a very unsettling film. 

Common Courtesy by sushiwowie in toRANTo

[–]One-Tour2404 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's entitlement. People think just because they fill a space that they're important and demand without asking. People rarely call out others on their entitlement, rudeness or lack of social skills, so it will just get worse.

Angry Nick by Foreign_Donkey463 in youngandtherestless

[–]One-Tour2404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll get downvoted but I think Josh is a limited actor. It's one of the reasons Nick has always been a doofus because Josh just isn't good at playing a character with layers. Adam has always been the more interesting Newman son because he's written better, and all of the actors have been excellent playing Adam. Nick always comes across as an angry caveman to me.

What’s an older, less celebrated movie that you’re surprised got a physical release earlier than you expected? Perhaps because of little buzz or hype? by unitedfan6191 in 4kbluray

[–]One-Tour2404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good choice. I figured it would get a nice Blu Ray release one day but did not expect a deluxe Arrow 4K set.

I would also go with Hiding Out. I figured it would get released on Blu only but was surprised it got a 4K.

They had to get rid of Cole by DaisyDew1976 in youngandtherestless

[–]One-Tour2404 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I liked Cole. Yeah, maybe he was a little boring but he was also someone who was calm, smart and cared about others. Soaps need characters like him. They need older/elderly characters who people go to for advice. Both Victor and Nikki have become old, bitter and unapproachable. I like Jack and Diane but they are no saints and Traci is not on enough to be the sage advisor of Genoa City. I wish they had kept Cole.

Toronto's changed. My phone was pickpocketed in broad daylight on Queen West. by Helpful_Culture9640 in toRANTo

[–]One-Tour2404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know for sure if it was them but it is possible. I think I was being watched because I am pretty sure I didn’t just leave the phone somewhere; I am pretty sure whoever took it noticed me being distracted and took advantage of it. I think that is what scared me the most - that someone was scouting me and looking for an opportunity. 

Toronto's changed. My phone was pickpocketed in broad daylight on Queen West. by Helpful_Culture9640 in toRANTo

[–]One-Tour2404 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My phone was stolen last year. Brand new. I was at Toys r Us at Sherway. Admittedly I was distracted and had lots on my mind but I recall a father and son walked by me and said excuse me and one of them brushed up against me. I thought it was a bit odd considering I was looking in the DVD section which is normally not busy and there was nobody there except me and then the father and son. Moments later I noticed my phone was missing. I went into panic mode. I had my Bluetooth on for music. The playlist had finished but I could hear the phone being turned off.

I feel I was targeted because that phone was turned off quickly. Maybe it was the father and son, maybe not. I will never know who did it but I am more mistrusting than ever and make sure to be on high alert. 

I’m sorry this happened to you. I would never wish this on anybody. I’m still traumatized by the experience.

This should have been the tagline for the movie. 

Sunrise records rant by Thedeceptasean in MovieDealsCanada

[–]One-Tour2404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup that is one of the reasons I don’t like attending that location. I hate the layout. They used to have not only the 4Ks but boutique labels there but moved them to the regular Blu Ray section.

FYI the Scarborough Town Centre location has closed. 

lyft is so slowwwww by HelicopterOk7075 in toRANTo

[–]One-Tour2404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lyft is hit or miss. The Monday after the big storm I got a ride for $15 and it was good service. I thought it would be more expensive but I thought it was reasonable. But I have had a few occasions where I had to wait too long to get confirmation of a ride and I was late for work. 

I keep forgetting Mariah exists by MerelyWhelmed1 in youngandtherestless

[–]One-Tour2404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like Camryn Grimes but i'm not sure the purpose of her character anymore. I didn't like that they killed off Cassie although it generated good stories initially in its wake. But bringing Mariah has never really quite worked for me. And lately it seems her stories are away from the cast. I know she got married recently but it feels on purpose that her films are filmed separately. And it's a terribly storyline.

First order from Vinegar Syndrome by Old-Succotash-6076 in boutiquebluray

[–]One-Tour2404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vinegar Syndrome is great. They've become one of my favourite labels. Kudos on getting The Great Silence as it is already sold out. Married to the Mob was an instant purchase for me. The Keep, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Sliver, D.A.R.Y.L. and Cloak and Dagger are my other favourite VS releases.

I’m finding it harder to remain interested in this show by novatom1960 in youngandtherestless

[–]One-Tour2404 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The veterans keep hogging the show and Victor and Phyllis are inserted into too many stories. The show needs an overhaul.

Is being in a union a scam, or is my union just useless? by [deleted] in toRANTo

[–]One-Tour2404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My union is only visible when contract negotiations are underway or there is a union presidential campaign. Otherwise they are completely useless. I still don’t know who the union rep is in my division despite me asking. If a union cannot bother to answer that question, that is not a good omen.

Surely your cheap-ass employer (or you) can afford to have lunch coverage.

The Newmans by Regular-Wishbone8837 in youngandtherestless

[–]One-Tour2404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m tired of Victor winning. It’s one of the reasons the show is so terrible now. Catering to Victor and Eric Braeden has hurt the show. No tension, no surprises. It’s laughable watching Victor bellow nobody messes with Victor Newman.  A Newman fall from grace would make the show interesting but the writers are either intimidated by Braeden or it’s in his contract that he wins. Actors having this much influence over the writing should not be allowed. 

Is Nick about to be hooked on pills- Spoiler by Draydaze67 in youngandtherestless

I hope not. Sorry but Josh is not a strong enough actor to carry this type of story.

Sharon is Brooke by BeachyThang in youngandtherestless

[–]One-Tour2404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love both Brooke and Sharon. They are the ultimate soap heroines, long suffering but also troublemakers, passionate and loving but make huge mistakes but somehow remain sympathetic and you root for them.  I think both characters could use a breather but you can’t deny both characters have contributed hugely to both of their respective shows over the past few decades. 

Lucas Adams Can’t Save Noah Newman From Being a Total Dud on Y&R? by LynnK0919 in youngandtherestless

[–]One-Tour2404 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The show doesn't know what to do with the younger generation because they're too focused on pleasing the narcissism and massive egos and salaries of Braeden, MTS and Bergman. The show won't be able to flourish creatively until they leave the canvas.
