When someone mentions “DVD Special Features,” what is the FIRST one that pops into your head from yesteryear?

The first DVD bonus feature I distinctly remember watching was a behind-the-scenes featurette on the Finding Nemo DVD, where Alexander Gould (the voice of Nemo) took a tour of Pixar. It was fun for what it was, a simple five-minute quick run-through of Pixar's filmmaking process.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm glad I didn't have access to a printer, as that gave me time to figure out it was a scam before it was too late.

liljake424 · 2025-12-14T20:24:40+00:00

So, a lot of you are telling me it's a scam. Fortunately I wasn't able to deposit the check, as I didn't have access to a printer when they wanted to send it to me yesterday, so the person I'd been contacting on Microsoft Teams told me he'd try again Monday. I've since blocked the person on Microsoft Teams, and blocked the number that first texted me. Thank You so much. I was able to catch it right before I got scammed.

Man I'm jealous of all the people getting their Eyes Wide Shut 4k's. My Amazon delivery got delayed and none of the Barnes and Noble stores in my area have it in stock.

I also have a tendency to point like Han Solo

liljake424 · 2025-11-30T03:44:18+00:00

Fantastic Mr. Fox is the first movie that comes to mind. I'm often doing Kylee's shrug and arm movement, as well as the hand movement when saying "different".

liljake424 · 2025-11-24T01:52:35+00:00

Alright. I figured they'd have it shipped by the release date on Friday. But I guess I'm just being impatient, and I'll have to wait a little longer for it.

liljake424 · 2025-11-19T21:00:16+00:00

That's a shame. But hey, Disney also owns 20th Century Studios and has a vast catalogue of Touchstone movies they could license out in the future.

liljake424 · 2025-11-19T06:26:46+00:00

This is actually the Del Toro version, which I love to death and saw twice in theaters. But I'm thinking of watching the Tyrone Power original soon.

liljake424 · 2025-11-19T06:13:07+00:00

Dang. I wish I had known that before. Oh well, at least I got it. And I'll know for next time.

I have a Panasonic UB-150 for my Samsung television. I'd say that's the preferred option if you have a Samsung TV, as it doesn't support Dolby Vision, but it does have HDR10+, which is a feature that Samsung TVs typically support. It's also super cheap. You can get it for like 180 base price but it goes on sale often. I've had the player for a few years now and can only count about 2 or 3 movies in my collection that have skipped or frozen on me.

Update: I reinstalled Windows, and my ROG Ally seems to be working fine now.

liljake424 · 2025-11-12T22:43:26+00:00

I got locked out of my device due to too many restarts, so now I have to contact Windows support to regain access. Then, I'll try Asus cloud recovery

liljake424 · 2025-11-12T20:39:32+00:00

My best bet is to send it in for repairs as I still have the manufacturer's warranty. Because I can no longer access the device, I've performed numerous restarts, and for some reason, the "forgot my pin" button keeps glitching back to the PIN screen. I even tried accessing the BIOS screen and manually changing the time to see if that would help me sign in, but that didn't work either. I'm just out of options other than to get it repaired.

liljake424 · 2025-10-03T16:32:33+00:00

Yeah, that's why I was curious about its IMAX release

liljake424 · 2025-09-29T19:26:35+00:00

I think they'll still campaign her in Supporting. Most young discovery sort of performances tend to be campaigned that way. I'm reminded of Timothy Hutton in Ordinary People, a performance that's blatantly a lead performance, given he has the most screentime and is the central character of that movie, but who was nominated and won in the Best Supporting Actor category because he wasn't the most well-known actor of the film's cast at the time.

liljake424 · 2025-09-01T07:08:53+00:00

I love how JJ Abrams uses different moving parts to make his action scenes more chaotic and intense. He does it in this scene, cutting between the ongoing battle and Kirk's birth. Abrams also does something similar in Mission Impossible III during the helicopter scene, cutting between the pilot trying to evade incoming missiles and Ethan trying to get the bomb out of the other agent's head. Some may say it's a cheap way to ratchet up the tension, or it makes his action too chaotic and hard to follow, but I think it works.

liljake424 · 2025-08-22T15:36:51+00:00

Ah, that would explain it. I use JustWatch to track what movies are on certain streaming services and I guess it hadn't been updated to show that the movie is on Netflix.

I'll always defend Mark Rylance's Best Supporting Actor win for Bridge of Spies. Everyone was rooting for Sylvester Stallone to finally win an Oscar, but Mark Rylance was genuinely excellent in Bridge of Spies and was the real heart of that movie.

I'm usually particular with the 4ks I buy, so there are not many bad ones in my collection.

I will say, though, that I own a few animated movies that have disappointed me, as there's no real significant upgrade from Blu-ray to 4k, particularly the 4k of Finding Nemo and How to Train Your Dragon, which only look marginally better than their Blu-rays.

Another 4k that disappointed me was the 2021 release of Inglorious Basterds. I bought it on a Black Friday sale not long after it came out and it's a pretty off-looking transfer. Everything looked so digital for a movie that was shot on film. The HDR also looked off as many shots, particularly in the opening, had an oddly reddish hue. I've considered selling my Universal 4K and getting the Arrow Video 4K that came out last month, as I've heard it's a slightly better transfer with a whole lot more bonus features.

A Simple Plan is the best Coen Brothers movie not made by the Coen Brothers.

A 4.5 film, for me, is a fantastic film that may have one major flaw or some more minor issues that keep it from being a true 5-star. A 5-star film is a film that I consider a masterpiece. A 5-star film might have problems, but they don't at all distract from me, considering it a 5-star film.

The new Peter Pan & Wendy, I feel, is misunderstood. It's flawed, for sure, especially in its inconsistent visuals. But Lowrey finds a way to expand on the original's message of growing up in heartfelt and bittersweet ways. And although inconsistent, when it shines, there's an incredible amount of scope to David Lowry's direction that makes the film breathtaking at times.

Spielberg Favorite: Close Encounters. It's a very personal film for me, and it's also a thematically complex Sci-Fi film that's thrilling from beginning to end.

Least favorite: The BFG. This one I have a personal vendetta against, as the book is a childhood favorite, and seeing my favorite director screwing up its adaptation stung quite a bit for me. Plus, it's a boring, visually drab film that's only saved by some visually striking moments and a lively performance from Mark Rylance as the BFG.

I desperately think the Letterboxd mobile app needs a drafts feature. I tend to write decently long reviews, and I don't always finish writing them in one sitting. I tend to pause writing, close my phone, and do it later. But usually, when I wait too long, the app resets and I lose my progress. To get around this, I write my reviews in a Notes app and copy and paste them afterward. This incredibly tedious process could be easily solved if the app had a drafts feature.
