And today I want to submit a few pictures for old challenges again:
Challenge 3 - "Show us the Top 3 extras in your collection"
Unfortunately, I don't have too many here, as I try to keep my editions sealed. But the two MantaLab Matrix came with extras outside the box, and I bought WeET Guardians of the Galaxy unsealed. This makes you wonder whether you shouldn't open more editions with such nice extras.
My favorites here are really the Guardians cards with the effects on them. Although I also really like the Matrix cat.
Challenge 12 - "The directors"
Tough challenge because I don't really follow the directors, but here's a small selection anyway:
Justin Lin with the Fast & Furious series, I saw some behind the scenes footage here and was impressed with how he works here and insists on shooting a lot of the action scenes with real vehicles.
In Transformers with Michael Bay as director, I always liked the epic images with bright colors and explosions. Simply a feast for the eyes.
Francis Lawrence with the Tribute of Panem films really fascinated me as a person. This was also one of the few films where I saw the behind the scenes, but I was very impressed by the way he handled the actors, some of whom were still very young.
Challenge 17 - "It takes two"
1) Mike Lowrey & Marcus Burnett in Bad boys
2) Greg Jenko & Morton Schmidt in 22 jump street
3) Franz Eberhofer & Rudi Birkenberger in Schweinskopf al dente
4) James Edwards & Agent K in Men in black
5) Roy Pulsipher & Nick Walker in R.I.P.D.
My favorite duo here is Franz Eberhofer & Rudi Birkenberger, who simply have an incomparable dynamic together. I would really like to see premium editions here, but I guess the films are too unknown even in Germany for that. Bud Spencer and Terence Hill would also be a duo that I haven't mentioned above, but which would actually deserve a premium or a place in the top 5.
Challenge 27 - "Vigilante or Revenge"
1) Bullet Train
2) Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
3) Jack Reacher
4) John Wick 1-3
5) Who Am I: The hacker group Who Am I is rebelling against the system and is targeting companies and groups that are otherwise protected by the system in order to generate attention in the hacker scene
The only one of the movies mentioned above that I have seen several times is Star Wars. I think that's generally not so much my movie genre
Challenge 32 - "The sticky end"
1) Endgame: Thanos had to be defeated twice, that's how much he deserved it. (Option B)
2) Spartacus Series: Batiatus was also wished to die throughout the season, which he deserved because of all the machinations and the way he treated people. (Option B)
3) Rogue one: One of the saddest endings of a movie, because all the heroes simply have to die here. Heartbreaking. (Option A)
