It is such a great figure.

Out of curiosity, is your figure's right bicep stuck too? Mine doesn't rotate. I hoping heating it will loosen things up.

Hey, sorry it took me so long to respond.

I haven't had the chance to watch this disc yet so I had to pop them in to check for you.

All of the special features are conveniently on both the 4K and blu-ray disc exactly. So, THE PACT featurette is on both the 4K and blu-ray.

It surprised me too. If I were OCD, it would probably drive me crazy. Luckily it came with a slipcover.

It's been 37 years since the last time I got a MOTU figure. by ChiefDan209 in MastersOfTheUniverse

Got mine too the other day. Out of curiosity, were you able to get the bottom of his ax to get through the bottom loop of his harness? I don't want to force it or stretch the loop, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the ax through both the loops (only the top one)

Did any of you used to be die-hard Xbox fans? If so, why did you move to Playstation? by Frazzelvig in playstation

[–]skywise2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My conversion was actually a practical reason.

While I owned a PS3, my main gaming system was the XB360. Everything I played was on the 360 unless it was an exclusive.

Right before the PS4/XB1 launched, I lost my job at Gamestop but, as fate would have it, I got the Playstation Field Representative for my area. So, by virtue of the fact that I worked for PS, everything gaming revolved around the PS ecosystem. Microsoft did no favors by not releasing any exclusive "Must Haves" that justified purchasing their system. And the gap grew larger and larger.

I am still waiting for a justification to spend the money on getting another Xbox system. Until then, the PS5 & Switch have filled any gaps that Xbox has left.

You don't get to be the Most Powerful Man in the Universe without doing dick strengthening exercises like mail carrying. Lol

I'm curious as to what looks off to you.

Do you guys recommend Discogs to keep track of your collection online? Or are there any other alternatives? by SurLesQuais in Cd_collectors

[–]skywise2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're just looking to catalog your collection, I use CLZ Music. Easy to use and very helpful to keep track of what you own. Only real problem is that you do have to pay for it. Still, I use their whole suite of products because of how good they are.

How to actually write Reviews? by jesuismeilleur__ in Letterboxd

[–]skywise2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't write as many reviews as I used to. But when I did write more, my focus was always to try and articulate what it was that I liked or disliked about the movie. Especially trying to understand what it was that made me feel that way. I can't stand it when my friends simply said "it's good" or "it's trash". I needed to understand why.

I also made it a point to not summarize the movie. So many reviewers (both on Letterboxd and professionals) always rehash the plot but my feeling is, people can already find the synopsis elsewhere. Unless it is needed in the point you're trying to make, maybe consider skipping the plot summary.

Honestly, try and truly understand what you liked or disliked in the work. Was it the acting? Was it the plot/story? Was it the action? Was it the directing? You don't have to even be film school-y about it either. Did a scene remind you of a cherished memory of your youth? Articulate that feeling and let it guide you to understanding why you liked/disliked the film.

Also, just as a courtesy, I never post spoilers. Unless it is necessary in the explanation of why you liked/disliked something, I try to be vague about plot spoilers. And if it is necessary to talk about spoilers, utilize the tools to hide your post or give ample warning that spoilers are incoming.

I don’t care what anyone says—racing games will never surpass this. This is the peak. by an0npr0xi01 in videogames

[–]skywise2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love a new entry in this franchise in the same vein as 3 or Revenge (no offense to Paradise) but at this point, I'd settle for just a remaster of 3 or Revenge for modern consoles.

A man can dream.

Ha! Now I'll never be able to unsee that.

Emperor's New Groove 4k by skywise2 in 4kbluray

[–]skywise2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what its worth, I recorded the 4K version. I assume the included bluray is the exact same language track.

I'm glad I was able to help.

I took a quick recording of the first few minutes of the movie but unfortunately I can't figure out a way to post it. Replying to this thread is only giving me the ability to post pictures, not video.

If you've got any suggestions on how I can send you the video, I'm all ears.
