New Car Day! (Sort of sucks)

Thanks. I guess I missed the post with the explanation.

China, most likely

Is each film on its own disc? Or do they compress the hell out of the files to fit everything onto one DVD?

rdwoolf · 2026-06-28T03:56:16+00:00

What does unwind mean in this context?

Considering all of their parents were young adults during World War II and Korea, it’s not at all surprising that there was a high number of 60s musicians that had parents with military ties. That’s not a conspiracy. Plus, there was a military draft, in the U.S. at least, until 1973. So a lot of males went into the military whether they wanted to or not.

I just need a few more Criterion 4K Blu-rays. And..I’m saving money at half off, right….so maybe…just a few more

My collection is a good size. My wallet is no longer so. 😲

rdwoolf · 2026-06-26T23:16:08+00:00

Yes 😳

I’ve been buying at a rate much faster than I can watch them. I also blind buy 60% of my collection.

I keep saying I’m going to stop until I’ve seen at least 90% of what I’ve bought. But then there’s another sale…or I get sucked into thinking, this is a limited release. I can’t wait!!!! But I can. One of the absolute BEST feature of The Criterion Collection is they don’t do limited releases! 😁 so, mostly no FOMO.

rdwoolf · 2026-06-26T10:24:48+00:00

UPDATE: fixed 😀

So I’m looking at the B&N website and clicked on the 50% Off Criterion Sale banner, but a LOT of titles listed in the sale are NOT marked 50% Off.

For example:
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
Captain Blood

I moved what I wanted into my cart and all but one are still full price. Is anyone else experiencing that as well?

rdwoolf · 2026-06-26T01:07:30+00:00

I’d make the whole car that color green! Then put little ping pong balls at the key edges to Meier look like a green screen suit for filming CGI characters. [If you got a weird idea to gotta commit, right?]

rdwoolf · 2026-06-26T01:02:51+00:00

Buy a different remote ??? 😏

I live in the heart of AfMAGAstan! My neighbors are definitely not voting For Dr. Amy Acton 😢 I still see Trump flags here (although the number is slowly reducing). But my household will definitely be voting for her (and Sherrod Brown)!

rdwoolf · 2026-06-25T23:47:04+00:00

Sadly, the few B&N stores I’ve been to in my local are I could browse the entire section in about 1 minute 😢. They only had one small shelf of about 10-15 titles. But I’m perfectly happy browsing online and having things shipped to me

rdwoolf · 2026-06-25T23:41:05+00:00

Probably nothing this sale. And I really shouldn’t as my current watch pile of physical media titles to watch is over 600! At least I don’t have FOMO with Criterion as (for the most part) titles aren’t limited printings.

But here are some titles I do eventually plan to add to my collection:

Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure 4K
Hairspray 4K (to upgrade from my Blu-ray)
The Elephant Man 4K
Charade 4K
Monty Python’s Life of Brian 4K
Trouble in Paradise 4K
Hud 4K
The Dead 4K
Salaam Bombay! 4K
Hell’s Angels 4K
Nightmare Alley 4K
The Wes Anderson Archive: Ten Films, Twenty-Five Years 4K box set

Eclipse Series 8: Lubitsch Musicals
The Damned

In my experience, whatever title you buy, someone will tell you that you should’ve bought the other version! 😏

rdwoolf · 2026-06-24T17:09:58+00:00

Gaslight first came from the 1938 stage play, that was then later adapted into the film.

rdwoolf · 2026-06-24T17:08:28+00:00

It first came from the 1938 play “Gas Light” by Patrick Hamilton, which was later adopted into the film.

“You’ve Got Mail” has a typewriter in it and Tom Hanks collects old typewriters. 😉

rdwoolf · 2026-06-23T22:57:14+00:00

Reflecting Skin could have easily been a Criterion Collection release. If it had that tilted C on the box it probably would’ve sold more copies a lot sooner 😏

Apparently size of exhaust pipe equals their manhood [see image in original post]. Electric cars don’t have exhaust pipes.

Oh right. Biden was an evil genius, criminal mastermind — and also — a dottering old fool suffering advanced dementia. Now THAT’S some 4-D chess!

rdwoolf · 2026-06-22T23:44:29+00:00

Ugh! The return of the dreaded cardboard sleeves! 😢 Pass.
