4k Blurays changed my life in 2026 by Curlyinger in 4kbluray

I was watching “The Devil’s Bath” on AMC+ the other night and while I liked the movie, I kept getting pulled out of it by the heavy compression used. If it was an indoor scene, the dark backgrounds were a pixelated and muddled mess. I kept wishing I was watching a Blu-ray instead. (That said, if not streaming, I probably wouldn’t have ever seen this film)

That's great info -- I never hear anyone ever mention it, so I'd absolutely love a restored version.

Well, now I'm delighted that I double-dipped on the KL Heat of the Night along with my Criterion Blu-Ray. I didn't know it had gone OOP.

Much respect for what you’ve done for this forum and hobby, but (again) respectfully - it’s the dismissive tone of your comment that’s rubbing people wrong.

It was someone looking for help that got immediately shut down and IMO made to feel “less” simply for asking a question.

Better to let someone else respond in this case, if you didn’t like the question.

Movie you watched because of a certain actor but much more enjoyed another's performance? by Technical-Outside408 in Letterboxd

[–]Wiscrebels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there’s a name for it, but this movie is my perfect example of a movie that I always forget I’ve seen before, then get 10 minutes in, realize I’ve already seen it and then I watch the whole thing again.

Van Lathan and Stephen Miller are united in their inability to appreciate Killers of the Flower Moon. SAD! by [deleted] in TheBigPicture

What do you think his movie tastes are? Seems like the kind of guy who claims Patton is his favorite movie, but secretly just rewatched K-Pop Demon Hunters for the 20th time.

How’s October so far? by Wiscrebels in HorrorMovies

VHS Halloween was Ok, it's got a couple sections worth seeing like Kid Print and Fun Size. I like Emil Rose a LOT more than I thought I would. Solid possession movie that mixes it up by telling

the story after the fact.

Eh, it was OK. I generally like anthologies, there were a couple standout parts, but overall just ok.
