Do you have any insight to why they did it? Is there any reason other than money/licenses?

Do you mean the marketing of non-cgi, old school practical effects? It’s a new genre, analog-horror. 😆

of course I’m in on this. But I was hoping they’d go the citizens direction.

Thanks @ShadowWarrior. I've been wondering if this one would ever show up. The other two are lonely with out it.

If you start a 12 step program, I'll sign up.

I have three stamp albums full of stamps I'll never use and 1/3 I don't like . . . the collector's disease.

Exactly my experience. Clicking through channels, see Andy Dufresne, and I end up watching the rest of the movie.

@TheAmarayMan @camwjohn95

Boom! Thanks for this.

Sorry bud, I missed this part, and hopped straight to your movies. Take care! I hope you both rebound to full force with the quickness.

@extantsrevenge I have a challenge if you need more

I want MAG to do Amadeus (triple lenti), NovaMedia Choice to do Almost Famous, WCL to do Mulholland Drive, Nova Media Exclusive to do Seven Samurai, Film Vault to do Beat Street, Broad Nation to do a ridiculously cool 2001. Shoutout to @Cornrow for the HDZ Amadeus and laser disc.

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.

Impressive. TOC?

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.

I am so indifferent on this one. I know it’s extremely limited. And FOMO. Anyone want to chime in and say why your excited for this one, push me over the edge?

I just like everything about this so far. The back of the lenti is cooler than the other side of the pillow.

They're beginning to appear (not mine)
