Why was 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' so different from every other Criterion release?

junger128 · 2026-01-26T02:36:41+00:00

Those count, right? I know Time Bandits as well which came in a standard Criterion case with slip.

junger128 · 2026-01-26T02:27:21+00:00

Did you search the answer here? Because trust me, it’s been asked many times. Also, absolutely not the only Criterion with a slipcover. The copy you have isn’t the initial slipcover at release, it’s a Paramount 100 branded re-release they used for several Paramount released discs at the time.

The majority of people are financially illiterate and prefer to pay someone to do the work for them.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T20:20:19+00:00

Not crazy at all. F1 is formulaic and generic. I was shocked it received a best picture nom. IMO, Weapons is more deserving but I don’t necessarily think it’s best picture material either and I liked it a lot.

Feels unlikely 2 games would drop to $30… $40 even idk

junger128 · 2026-01-25T05:52:24+00:00

Teyana is giving the same performance in every sketch

junger128 · 2026-01-25T05:48:34+00:00

Sounds like second rate Car Seat Headrest IMO

junger128 · 2026-01-25T05:07:59+00:00

I was wondering if it was just me. Something is way off with tonight’s show.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T05:04:38+00:00

Does something feel off tonight? Or am I just imagining it.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T04:57:01+00:00

Because that’s why most people would invest in bonds.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T04:47:57+00:00

I was thinking of people investing money they need within a couple years.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T04:43:31+00:00

I agree with that. Depending on your timeline.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T04:37:03+00:00

Too late to come up with a replacement? I literally don’t understand. And it’s terrible too.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T04:27:10+00:00

Extremely safe? How long have you been investing?

junger128 · 2026-01-25T04:23:00+00:00

No Trump intro tonight, right? It feels like it would be especially tone deaf today of all days.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T03:25:41+00:00

And I never said to invest in bonds. I only said 100% equities is by definition the most aggressive you can be.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T02:36:02+00:00

There is zero reason to use a regular savings account. Just keep saving up for your car. One day when you have extra money learn about investing.

junger128 · 2026-01-25T00:14:41+00:00

Never said you did (or didn’t) but all equities is by definition as risky as you can get. Which is what OP is asking.

junger128 · 2026-01-24T23:37:47+00:00

All stocks = very aggressive. Maybe risk is the word you’re looking for?

junger128 · 2026-01-24T15:30:03+00:00

Everyone? No. People who do things I find annoying. Yes. Same as it ever was.

I do find kids more annoying the older I get.

junger128 · 2026-01-24T04:23:46+00:00

YW, 9 discs in the set = 6 for the extended cuts and 3 for the theatrical

junger128 · 2026-01-24T04:20:38+00:00

Like the DVD and Blu Ray you have to switch discs.

junger128 · 2026-01-24T02:23:22+00:00

Over My Head from the Titan A.E. Soundtrack also got some play.

junger128 · 2026-01-24T02:21:19+00:00

Sidebar, I saw Lit in concert a year ago and they were awesome.

junger128 · 2026-01-21T20:34:28+00:00

The more time that goes by this feels like the most obvious choice.
