@Grendel, I know which one. Will see if I manage to post the thread

ok, @Grendel, I obviously took the bait and re visited nova website after checking the threads in special editions section. I cannot see Leon 4k posted here, which surprise me (maybe in a different section?). Perphaps because there are so many editions already (never enough)? or because is not the most inspired artwork? I will probably end up picking it up, although I think I own most of the previuos releases (steelbooks or not). But if is not "the one" that you meant, the next one that I would post would be Lock, stock and two smoking barrels, which I already ordered.

I was prepared to defend this release and the movie itself, which I really liked and I think it could do with some more love/appreciation. I dont know, is one of those that against all the (objective) odds you end up enjoying it at a higher level than just "made me have a good time". Almost like with The mothman prophecies, which reminded me alot to this title. Anyway, good film and I will order for sure. By the way @airwins, I would still liked your post (no hard feelings here, I think...), but I did already reached my limit of reactions for today

arrrgh!! I've been wanting to post my first thread in MP with this movie for a few days now, but the lack of time and knowledge on how to do it delayed me. I was literally waiting for son to (finally!) fall sleep to enjoy a cider and give it a try, and you've just beated me @airwins !!!

THE man (almost) always deliver. Not sure if he will nail this one down, but he certainly has the skills and tools to go for it

Morning guys, pancakes time!!! have a great one!!

thats right, you can choose sides

I had very positive experiencies by going to the cinema not knowing which movie I will walk in (and my share of bummers, of course) or what I would "encounter". one memorable one was Trainspotting, believe it or not. What a ride!

@mgurau if you are interested you could check korean sellers at ebay, like wdpung.

@Scary Hair This movie its been at the back of my mind for a while now. I have a good m3mory of it the first time I watched it many years ago and I will revisit it soon. It also reminds me another movie about "lost" causes, strong wills and high ideals: Time to kill, with not only a young Mcconaughey but also Sandra Bullock and Samuel L(engendary) Jackson. Definetly another rewatch in the horizon.

Im afraid is definetly sold out in both kimchi and nova. Both sites were live for pre order but soon (much sooner than I expected!) sold out. Likely I managed to get one copy in ebay

one would think (hope) that 2049 will come at some point down the line... Also, Is Matrix complete trilogy to much asking??

Really! do we really need another Blade Runner release? well, hell yes we do.

I always expected plain archive to jump into this one. Not that Im complaining!

I missed Novamedia release, Mantalab to the rescue!

After disappointment of 4k steelbooks, looking forward to this one

To the question: which content is more adequate for kids? Honestly, only them can answer to that. In the same way that each kid has different pain threshold or stamina or frustration tolerance, they also have different sensitivity levels towards external estimulus. The same thing can be disturbing or just confusing or plain funny to different kids. Just like with adults! what a revelation, eh?? Obviously there are limits to what would be healthy for a very young brain to be expose to. When watching Toy story 4, my older run away everytime gabby gabby or Benson appear in screen ( in all fairness Benson is creepy as hell!!). So yes, breaking news: a kid (or anyone for that matter) wont watch anything is not ready or comfortable with. So the content (unless you force them to) is actually choosen by them, and all you have to do is to validate their decisions (whenever reasonable, that is). I know for certain that Nolan will watch a zombie movie much sooner than my older, and thats fine. We have to follow their lead, and not the other way around.

Probably I didnt express myself correctly. When I said "shelter" I wasnt thinking on building a bubble to keep them safe from the outer world, but more like an "atemporal dome" where family members can share, feed from and chanel that innocence into a more sympathegic and benevolent personality (for everyone) which the world is so much in need of. its like when you cover yourself with a blanket and pretend that you are in a cave where anything is possible and then you ask them how they would react towards challenging situations. Its amazing how their innocent minds find the most simple and yet effective solutions to matters that we adults complicate our existance with. Thats why I also said "treasure" it, because the goal shouldnt be to artificially preserve that innocence in them forever, but rather transfering it to ourselves, to learn from it. If done properly, you can turn it into a weapon for both them and yourself. And that includes, as you said, not hidding the "real" and cruel world from them, but rather showing them how absurd it can be. About traumas, I meant the dangerous ones, which normally dont appear from disrupting the innocence, say watching a violent movie. It has to do more with parenting itself. So what I really had in mind was protecting them from our traumas, which often lead us to behave in ways that can, inadvertently, cause more traumas. In occasions, the first potentially dangerous place they are going to face is not the outerworld, but their nest.

Interesting that you quoted Nolan about children watching "2001, A space Odyssey" because that was one of the reasons we finally decided to name our youngest Nolan 😊. It also helped that in Gaelic it means "a descendant of a chariot fighter or champion", and one of my all time favorites movies is Ben-hur. That final race, what a culmination to the personal dynamics between Judah and Messala, homoerotic tensions included!
