This and That (Where Great Conversations Are Happening)
BreakBeatDJ replied to Masterblaster's topic in English
Do you have any insight to why they did it? Is there any reason other than money/licenses? -
Multi Retailer Kill Her Goats (4K UHD/2D Blu-ray Steelbook) [USA]
BreakBeatDJ replied to ShadowWarrior's topic in Multi Retailer
Do you mean the marketing of non-cgi, old school practical effects? It’s a new genre, analog-horror. 😆 -

CHALLENGE 16 : TOP TEN FAVORITE MOVIES Thanks so much @Chief_lookout for giving me sleepless nights trying to decide what top 10 fav movies to share with the internet. You owe me some money for a box of sleepytime tea. 😆 • THE 400 BLOWS - All childhood angst movies are a mere footnote to this Truffaut gem. It's the original Ferris Bueller: if Ferris was younger, French, and his mother was Simone de Beauvoir. Click to see Antoine in the graviton • AMADEUS - A nearly perfect movie. We are just tiny specks of dust, orbiting the genius of those who actually change the world. • ALMOST FAMOUS - If there is an afterlife, I hope it is an endless loop of me being William Miller, over and over and over. • SEVEN SAMURAI - The purest cinema I've ever seen, endlessly fascinating. Without Kambei, there is no Yoda. (I prefer Kambei) • ZOOLANDER - I was in New York shooting fashion and beauty at the time this film was made (in the Meatpacking district). Many of the club kids I hung out with were used as extras and small parts. It's like a ridiculous fictional home movie for me, if Ben Stiller made your home movies. • 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY - The only truly convincing representation of what lies on the other side, imho. Quiet is a powerful character. • MULHOLLAND DRIVE - Lynch is our only true poet filmmaker, and this is his Sonnet 18. Or maybe it's Finnegans Wake, and like James Joyce, Lynch is just laughing his ass off at us. • BEAT STREET - Another movie that feels somewhat like a home movie. Instead of the South Bronx, I was a boy living the birth of hip hop in Miami. • RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK - My mother worked in the mall. So, I wandered the mall for 6 hours while she worked. I snuck in the movie theater and saw this film dozens of times. It is the paradigm for all action movies. And . . . Amy Farah Fowler is WRONG, without Indy they never find the ark in the first place. • THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE - Oh man, this is not the best Cassavetes movie, but it is one I love. I used to shoot scenes from this as exercises with my acting classmates. It is my noir crime comfort blanket.

Thanks for your thoughts buddy, yeah, I'm out on this. I think @Gary K described my experience above, I'm skeptical, and the design itself is less than inspiring, add to that the price, as you say, and I'm okay with letting this one go. Every MP GB feels like an opportunity, so it's hard to let them go by sometimes. There are always more and more and more to come.
