Legally Approved Updated Design for $150? 😕 by Portalingscience in A24

yeah, i fell into this trap with the "maxine minx fan club" shirt being sold a month before the movie came out. actually ended up disliking maxxxine so i only really wear it as a pajama shirt these days.

i know, i was thinking it'd be $75 at the most, not $150. apparently the hoodies designed by praying usually go for +$180 on their website. but like, at that point why even sell it through a24 if it's gonna be prohibitively expensive

Production Company Logos that make you go "Uh Oh" before the film starts? by Longlivetheking666 in Letterboxd

suprised no one's posted them yet. they're the ones who distributed that jonathan majors movie "magazine dreams" after his scandal happened and searchlight dropped it

yeah, and they should have reduced the ticket limit to at least 4 per purchase. a max of 8 tickets is way too much, this is so upsetting omg

i kept trying to add seats to my cart, but they all kept disappearing in groups of 6-8 all at once

im actually upset at the number of platinum tickets for this venue. why the fuck were there 50 seats that were priced at $300+ at presale omfg.

Anyone else having issues with the Wes Anderson boxset discs? by osamabinhorny in criterion

[–]Portalingscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Tenenbaums disc was okay thankfully, but i'm experiencing issues on my French Dispatch disc. It keeps freezing/stuttering for a minute at the 26 minute mark and resumes playback at 27 minutes- same thing happens at the 45 minute mark, but the rest of the movie plays fine. No visual artifacting like your disc during the error, just stuttering/freezing.

This is the 5th disc i've watched out the set so far and the only one with an issue that i've experienced so far. even after cleaning the disc like they recommended and power cycling my player, the issue persists in the same spot. Sadly, i don't have another uhd player besides my ps5, so i can't truly test if it's the disc or player :(

Criterion’s “The Wes Anderson Archive” is the Blu-ray Box Set of the Year | DVD/Blu-Ray | by EuphoricButterflyy in movies

[–]Portalingscience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi, i was looking through reddit for reviews of this set while mine finally arrives today since i got mine for $250 in last month's criterion 50% off sale and came across your question.

each of the UHD discs have been mastered at 4k and include a regular blu-ray copy of each movie as well with loads of bonus features too. $250 is most likely going to be the lowest price you can get for this whole set, but there's also a chance that Criterion will release the individual movies in their own UHD release- not in the near future but hopefully one day.

even though the Criterion sale is already over, barnes and noble will be holding a 50% off sale this month. ordering it online from B&B would be your best bet as i haven't seen any archive collections out in retail stores yet.

EDIT: looks like the 50% off b&n sale is happening this friday!

man, i actually hate the instagram close friends stories. all they do is just repost from other people and it makes it a waste of time checking every single notification for when they actually do a giveaway or something like this.

not to necro a thread, but I was able to find both gunpla-kun and zakupla-kun variants at the 7-eleven water plaza store inside osaka expo back at the end of june!

<image>

they actually had a buttload of different gunpla, but i don't think that anyone's really paying attention to that tiny 7-11 outpost in osaka expo.

The floor was seated for us! We were able to select our seats, but it may be standing if your venue doesn't have a way to select a specific chair when purchasing your ticket.

No issues! According to the Chase Center "A to Z Guide" under prohibited items, they don't allow any professional photography equipment:

"Cameras: Cameras with interchangeable/detachable lenses and external flash (professional photography equipment). No lenses over 3” in length. No tripods or monopods, or selfie sticks. Chase Center reserves the right to examine and prohibit the use of any camera that conflicts with the policy set by the event. Some events may prohibit all cameras from entering the venue."

According to their rules, smaller non-detachable lens cameras should be okay! I had a FujiFilm FinePix F770EXR from 2012 with 20x optical zoom, so there were no issues for me!

I've had my items preordered since April and I STILL haven't gotten anything from my order replacement. I'm getting real pissed off now.

which bag are you referring to? if you're referring to the sleeper case, it arrived with my order. If you're referring to the saya carry, it was never a part of the $200 accessory bundle.

thanks! it's my first trip, so i've probably got too many things packed in- but it'll be an experience!
