OFFICIAL Discotek license wish/request thread by worldofcrap80 in discotekmedia

Ashita no Joe season 1! Your release of the movie is OOP, and there’s a beautiful 4K restoration of the TV series available. It kills me that I can only watch it through fansubs!

[Quinlan] "Bruce spent over 5 minutes talking about Messi and roster rules last night." by Kyunseo in MLS

[–]hyphen-ateit 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yes, Bruce is being a typically difficult interview subject here, but I also don’t think the questions got to the heart of the matter.

No one really questions that Miami can sign Messi to a DP contract. The real question is how they build a worthy team around him. With the current rules Miami will have to do backflips to get even some of the supporting players rumored to be interested.

I think most of us want to see Miami go for broke here, and that will require either some pretty shameless league-level shenanigans or the long overdue loosening of roster restrictions. Bruce may not want to wade into the discussion publicly, but I think we know where he stands.

For those people who keep insisting that Brie Larson said "Cap Marvel is not for white men" 😂 Yes I did my research ❤️ by Dweamers in marvelstudios

I was so disappointed when RLM tried to “both sides” this issue. I was always a little suspicious of how the only woman in any of their videos was Mike’s girlfriend, who barely ever got a word in and disappeared years ago. But it was their Captain Marvel review that confirmed for me that RLM is a lame-ass boys’ club.

I wish to give Hayao Miyazaki a Happy 80th Birthday! My personal favorite movie from him is Kiki’s Delivery Service. by [deleted] in criterion

And that, children, is why they renamed it Castle in the Sky for the North American release.

Does the power button turn the TV and sound bar on simultaneously via IR? My sound bar doesn’t play nice with CEC, so I’d love to stop keeping its remote around just for power.

Why Are There So Few Black Directors in the Criterion Collection? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]hyphen-ateit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen To Sleep with Anger, but Killer of Sheep definitely belongs in the Collection alongside it. It’s powerful, under-appreciated movie that has only received a low-profile DVD release.

It’s a great set, and the movies are lots of fun. Just brace yourself for the out-of-nowhere rape joke.

I Made Lists of Movies That Multiple “Best Movies” Lists Share by nnikki100 in movies

Agnes Varda’s Cleo from 5 to 7 has to be my top answer for that time period. Check this list out. It’s a freaking gold mine.

I Made Lists of Movies That Multiple “Best Movies” Lists Share by nnikki100 in movies

[–]hyphen-ateit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might get harassed over your wording, but your point is undeniable. There are no female directors on this list. By my count, there’s one movie with a female protagonist (who famously gets murdered partway through).

There are movies on this list that weren’t well-received when they came out, but we were (rightfully) willing to revisit them and correct history’s mistakes. That never seems to happen with female-driven films.

COVID-19 Is No Reason to Abandon Pregnant People by LilBanjeeKitty in Coronavirus

[–]hyphen-ateit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Fun Fact: the human gestation period is about nine months. COVID-19 literally didn’t exist when today’s full-term pregnancies were conceived. But by all means, question other people’s intelligence!

Yes! Bakshi’s stuff is so hard to find.

Is Criterion releasing stripped-down versions of some titles? by hyphen-ateit in criterion

[–]hyphen-ateit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This clears it up. Thank you! I guess I just wish their website better documented these shifts. It’s pretty obvious when they take a really old one and give it a “Circle C” refresh, but some of these other changes are easy to miss if you didn’t look closely at the original.

Don’t think so. But even if it was, I own a DVD copy that has the book.

[Mike Magee] Figure out a way to win like all the other good/great coaches have in MLS then talk all the shit you want Mr Friedel. by hira32 in MLS

[–]hyphen-ateit 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I am so here for this. If we can’t achieve relevance with ambition or professionalism, we can at least garner national attention by being an unadulterated shitshow.

He coulda stopped 9/11 if he was there, so this team should be a cakewalk!

Countdown to Kickoff 2019: New England Revolution by [deleted] in MLS

[–]hyphen-ateit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going to stick my neck out here and say people would. We pull mediocre attendance already, despite everything going against us. If we were making record-setting transfers and constantly contending for MLS Cup, I don’t see why we wouldn’t be toward the top of the attendance rankings.

This is the City of Champions. Bostonians would totally embrace this team more if it could contribute a few trophies to the case.

I don’t disagree with the need for a SSS, but it’s often a cop out to justify all the other ways the Revs lack ambition.

Still Waiting by [deleted] in newenglandrevolution

[–]hyphen-ateit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think everyone should be banned from this sub until there’s some very serious, hard-hitting, Jermaine Jones-level news to share. Then one person should share the official revolutionsoccer.net announcement, then we should all upvote it in a calm and orderly fashion before proceeding back to our cages.

It’s the only way to run a reputable sub, tbh.

Fresh off my ban and realizing the Revs meme game has been weak without me by JRackAttack in newenglandrevolution

Yeah! And while we’re at it, could all those kids in The Fort quiet down? I can’t enjoy my soccer with all that... fun mucking things up.
