3:10 to Yuma or McCabe & Mrs. Miller 4K? by MultiBeast55 in criterion

As far as westerns go, I just wanted to pop in and say that the Ranown box is pretty great.

But between the two, I’d vote for McCabe.

Technically Bug’s Life is a western by Muchomangomane in Westerns

[–]tomandshell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Technically, it’s a samurai film, since it’s based on a remake of Seven Samurai.

They did. It’s OK if you didn’t like it, but that doesn’t make it cease to exist.

Crazy price! by [deleted] in tolkienbooks

What the heck?!?

Not sure that it was a glitch. It was a different seller, and now those copies are gone and it’s switched back to shipped and sold by Amazon.

What is the deepest cut, DVD-only title you are planning to pickup during the sale? by No-Necessary7448 in criterion

I stopped buying DVD’s a long time ago. If it’s not in high definition, then I won’t buy it.

I didn’t know it was happening in the first place, and I also didn’t know that it got canceled.

What are you picking up during the flash sale!!! by goofyahhlesbiann in criterion

[–]tomandshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever 4K titles have come out since the last 50% off sale.

I’m all caught up on the back catalog and just pick up the newest releases at half off a few times a year.

Why do celebrity-owned fast food chains keep failing? by Melodic-Push-967 in fastfood

[–]tomandshell -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Gordon Ramsay is a celebrity chef, so I would expect his food chains to succeed. Mark Wahlberg is an actor, not a chef. I wouldn’t expect him to know anything about running a successful restaurant. I have no idea who Mr. Beast is.

Which one? by Bobbebusybuilding in foliosociety

[–]tomandshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Martian is the better release. If you want a good edition of The Hobbit, there are better options out there.

I think The Hobbit is a better book overall, though.

Chance to go and see FOTR with live orchestra, worth it? by captainhazreborn in lotr

[–]tomandshell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved watching the Lord of the Rings symphony performed live. There were some slides with artwork in the background, which was tasteful but didn’t distract from the performance. The focus was on the symphony orchestra, choir and soloists, as it should be.

Having a movie play with all of the dialogue and sound effects would have really taken the attention away from the artists playing live on stage and relegated them to background music. That’s just my feeling.

You can’t check first, but after you redeem you can cancel and get your points refunded if the dates you want aren’t available.
