Were you able to order from Gruv though? I tried the link and it says the item is in stock, but unless I'm just really dumb (certainly possible), I don't see any options to actually place an order. Will you be able to help out a fellow Psycho please? 🙏

I didn’t try it, Amazon tells me my copy is coming on Tuesday.  I just clicked on the link out of curiosity.  Sorry.

Me too 😭

 

I wish there's a restock but I highly doubt it so I may need to bite the bullet for the reseller rates unless/until I can get a Manta Lab or HD release. 

I just followed the Gruv link and it appears to be in stock.

Question for folks who already got theirs: is Gruv who you ordered from?  Ordered mine from Amazon; they normally get me discs precisely on the release date but never early.

Received my copies Wednesday. Caught the FedEx guy just as he was about to chuck them from the sidewalk up onto the porch.

May his blade chip and shatter!

I somehow just saw this post, and I LOVE The Proposition.  I thought of it again last week.  Amazing performances across the board but especially Danny Huston, and holy hell it’s beautiful.  Not sure I’m aware of a movie that uses the Australian landscape as well, and there are some great contenders.

 

Also, I can never hear Danny Boy without thinking “the flies, the flies are crawling.”

One other note here:  this is the only work that makes me think Hillcoat can handle Blood Meridian, and I hope he can find this director in himself again.  
 

Caveat:  I haven’t seen The Road.  The book made me cry when I was childless.  As the father of a son these days, I haven’t gotten up the nerve to watch the movie.

It's Friday again!

 

Today here we have summer weather, and we have to make the most of it because tomorrow it will get worse and in two days we will be back to winter.

 

Yes, weather is going crazy. 

 

Even so, we still miss Mr. Lynch.  We hope to hear from him soon!

 

Man I hope so.  It’s been too long.

@Fortis93 have you seen The Proposition?  Any thoughts if so?

Check the most paused scene ever in movies to see if the 4k resolution "does it justice"! 😉

Believe me, it’s already crossed my mind.  I can remember pausing and scrutinizing it like the Zapruder film when we had a VHS copy.

Found this on sale.  Haven’t seen the movie since it came out on video back in the 90s, hope it holds up.  Also hoping 4K does it justice, I seem to remember it having a very slick look that used color well.

Believe it or not, Heywood Jr had never seen this one.  Of course he loved it, I knew he would.  Hard to imagine anyone who loves video games *not* loving this movie.

TCM had it playing last night. 

Have tickets to see this in the theater next Sunday, very excited.  Have seen it at least half a dozen times but never in the theater.

Browsing Netflix and remembered this used to come on quite a bit back in the day. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Finding myself watching even more older cinema than I usually do.

I also find myself watching more old movies.  I used to assume they were simple in their sensibilities but our age has become such that old movies seem more morally complex and ambiguous than nearly all of what we’re getting today.  Also, maybe this is just a thing that happens when you’re getting old.

I hope he has the power to spit you out of his mind, and on to the side of a New Jersey highway.

I love this addition.  Doesn’t guarantee that the movie will be good, but Malkovich never makes anything *worse*.

🤠 major thunderstorms in our area yesterday and especially overnight but thankfully no tornadoes in our area! 🙏 

 

Keep those that were affected by devastating tornadoes 🌪  in Tornado alley in the mid-west of 🇺🇸 In your prayers please!! 🙏 

 

Have a wonderful day peeps! 

 

Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning❣️

 

They’re calling for potential baseball-sized hail at my house in an hour or so, about to leave work a bit early and get my car in the garage (I had one almost totaled from a hailstorm once).  Hopefully we’re all worried about nothing, which is often the case in my area.  Weather forecasters would rather over-panic than under-panic it seems.

Yeah, baby:

Planning to re-watch the entire series before Furiosa.  Mad Max is good, but the sequel is next level.  Amazing work throughout, so tight, still holds up.  And the 4K transfers are almost unbelievably good; unfixable shots here and there but overall you can tell the transfers were shown a lot of love.  As opposed to . . . 
 

My son and I watched this because the movie is referenced in the Sonic the Hedgehog movie AND Keanu is playing Shadow in Sonic 3.   Don’t get me wrong, the movie holds up; this is about as well as Die Hard On A _______ can be done.  But the 4K transfer is low effort, looks like they just wanted to get something out.

Enjoyed revisiting this one again. Full movie available on YouTube in pretty good quality for anyone interested. It can be a slow start but the way this film handles the atmosphere of impending doom and the terror that something bad is coming is done well in my honest opinion.

I have the same recollection, the original story was the same.  Great job building suspense and it helps the movie that the cast is outstanding. People make fun of the langoliers themselves when they show up, forget how good everything before that was.

When it comes to making a companion to the MAG 2049 set, mission accomplished.  They’re going to look beautiful together.

They sure did, and it was a good adaptation, but just didn't resonate with me as much as the original.

I was a huge fan of that book growing up.  The new adaptation was so bad to me that I couldn’t finish it.  I still like the original from the 90s pretty well though.

Godzilla Minus One 4K UHD (2023) 👽👽👽👽👽

 

Shikishima, a surviving Kamikaze pilot, is attacked on Odo Island along with many war plane engineers by a gargantuan monster. After surviving, Shikishima, now on a personal mission, teams up with a large group of veterans to finally take down the monster known as Godzilla.

 

Only caveat for me not in English … a gorgeous presentation & Godzilla is menacing, would enjoy more if Godzilla was fighting otherworldly creatures though! 

 

 

If this is the Amazon Japan disc, how did you handle the lack of subtitles?

Yeah, must buy.  And I do have a functional early 80s boombox for that cassette soundtrack.

Ah, I see that about the soundtrack written on the cassette now.  Was reading the list of features earlier and it didn’t seem to say anything about the cassette, though it’s obviously shown in the pic.  
 

Beautiful set, will own it as soon as possible.

“Currently unavailable”, darnit.

I'm really tempted to order it myself and swap out the discs with whatever we get here in the US. I'm kind of confused by the images Amazon has up though... are we getting the 4-disc digipack in addition to the steelbook, which must be the top sample? So the bottom sample is Visual Sheet? 

 

UPDATE

EHHHH... I guess the above is a moot point now. I just ordered the deluxe set with the steelbook anyway. I see the description notes that it does come with the digipack, so I guess that means we get both cases unless it's just a lazy cut and paste job from the other edition. I reckon the only way to know for sure it see what arrives on my doorstep in May! 🤣

 

I’m still debating whether or not to order the disc, but I just stole the hell out of this gif
