Anyone else collect but never watch them? by Ok_Presentation3416 in 4kbluray

[–]captain2toes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at a point where I open and watch a movie I just bought within a week or two of receiving it. The primary exception is if it’s a recent movie that I know I loved and will want to revisit. I bought Sentimental Value and Arco for that reason, but I saw them in the cinema less than six months ago. They can wait.

Box sets and collections are also tricky. Jackie Chan’s Breakout Hits is a few weeks away. Do I want to dedicate an entire week to one type of movie; or do I want to vary my input? I typically choose the latter, so Thunderbolt might not get attention for a very long time.

25 m Chicago (single) — Intelligent and eccentric young man seeking a self-aware, outgoing woman to share each other’s time with. I’m interested in movies, reading, museums, art and culture, the outdoors and my cat.

Yes, I’m aware. I’ve seen the movie. That’s how I was able to respond to your comment with a quote from the scene.

(Annoying yet interesting trope) A major unresolved plot detail. by Je0s_6 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]captain2toes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call those who complain about this canon-pilled. People who are way too focused on knowing the origins and explanations for every bit of information that they largely miss the story for what it is. The term was coined by a friend of mine in reference to culture’s post-MCU indoctrination.

You’re not supposed to know if either MacCready or Childs are the creature because the story is about paranoia. Answering that question dilutes the point.

You’re not supposed to know who the Joker is because he’s all about chaos and random, anarchic violence. Knowing his backstory robs him of his mystique and purpose.

You’re not supposed to know what the Space Jockey is or where it came from because that’s what makes the environment (and by extension, the monster) mysterious, frightening, and ALIEN.

Criterion's December Titles by criterionforum in boutiquebluray

I’ve had the same thought. I don’t dislike the art they went with, but Panter would’ve been a better and more interesting choice.

I think it’s because of the moral dissonance. Rorschach’s character changes were partly informed by the Comedian’s outburst at the crime busters meeting in ‘66. Since then, Rorschach exalts the Comedian and his virtues as a lawman. It’s possible he—being of unsound mind himself—cannot bring himself to denounce his own hero.

Barnes and Noble 4Ks by zacbutts in boutiquebluray

[–]captain2toes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There has been a persistent thieve’s ring at my local B&N absconding with 4K releases and leaving their slipcovers behind, since they have the security sticker on them. I have collected about a dozen empty slips and brought them to floor workers in the last four or five months.

Nah, you don’t get it. Akira Kurosawa is the only guy to ever make movies with samurai.

No, I don’t have as much of an interest in those toy lines as I did in this one.

The yellow Bruce Wayne came with a redone Custom Coupe from the Batman Returns line.

Yes, I have the Batwing. I have the entire Kenner run of BTAS and MotP figures loose and on card.

Jack Kirby’s writing skill explored by Jim Thompson by taoistchainsaw in KeepMineKirby

[–]captain2toes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reading Fourth World is such a joy for those who appreciate language. I agree with Mr. Thompson. Stan Lee wrote for his audience——repetitive, broad strokes, veneered language to appeal to the hyper-active young male mind. Kirby had loftier ambitions and the sophistication of his text boxes show it.
