Challenge 23:

My favourite genre is Sci-fi but fantasy isn’t far behind.

The first film to really get me hooked was Terminator 2.  Watched it pretty much every week as a 10 year old (too young?) 

Terminator 

Terminator 2

Return of the Jedi

Blade Runner

The Matrix

Alien/s would be in there if I had a copy to hand!

Couldn’t do the last 2 but will do this weeks.

Now I’ve got a bit longer maybe I’ll have another go at the last 2.

Thanks for the extension teacher @extantsrevenge

FS and DL looking best for me. 

There’s a chance this week might be the end of my streak…

Need to do some digging but I’m not overly optimistic.

Challenge 20:

 

Sooooo this one wasn’t that easy as I don’t have easy access to all DVDs.

 

For the first part, it’s a mix of DVDs that don’t have Blu-ray releases and Blu-rays that don’t have 4K releases.  I mean who doesn’t want Bubble Boy in 4K? 

 

 

Part two is also a mix of DVDs and Blu-rays that sadly don’t have Steelbook releases.

 

 

I use the term sadly above very loosely as there’s a hundred other things I wish had Steelbooks ahead of some of these but this is what I had to hand to meet the criteria 😂

 

 

This is to replace Unknown in the first picture.  Definitely doesn’t have a 4K release!

@bungral unknown has a Blu-ray release. But Unknown (w Barry Pepper) does not have a Blu-ray I believe.  But Unknown w Liam has one…and a steelbook I think. 

Edit:  Scratch that.  Will have to double check as I might have mixed one up.

@bungral what is your favotite decade?

 

 

Ah yes my bad.  I’ve updated the post with the favourite decade.

Challenge 19:

70s Grease

80s The Thing

90s Terminator 2

00s The Dark Knight

10s Bohemian Rhapsody

20s Tenet

As for my favourite decade, It’s between 90s and 00s.  Stupidly hard to choose but I think I’ll go for the 90s with T2 being the swing vote!

As for challenge 20, I’m gonna have to do some digging.

Numbered up to 128 🧐 I thought it was limited to 100 copies?

Yeah it does say that in the OP.

Problem solved. Sunlight does the trick! 😀😀

Yeah we haven’t seen too much of this elusive thing known as the sun around here recently.

I bought the collectors edition of Dying Light 2 last year and it came with a UV torch.  At the time I didn’t really know what use I’d have for it but it was quite cool so kept it.

As soon as this arrived I knew what needed to be done!

Lovely stuff!!  What a release.

Challenge 18:

Bonus as I happened to take this photos over Xmas for a friend.

Christ almighty… Can’t find my John Wick coin. Also I can find my Ace Ventura coin but not the damn film itself!!

Oooo read the Grey list and I have to argue that T2 should not be on there. @raylight

Skynet would be running things right now if any of those 3 weren’t involved.  
 

John getting his hacking on in Cyberdyne.  Even if you’re not buying John, then Sarah and T800 are definitely rocking out together.  Her shotgun blasting the T1000 to the edge in the foundry for Arnie to finish him off with the grenade launcher just one example.

I will continue to squeeze T2 in as many of these challenge as possible 😄🤖

Challenge 17:

Figured I’d get done early this week.  Have done 6 in case any don’t fit the bill.

Terminator 2 - Uncle Bob + John Connor + Sarah Connor

Ready Player One - Parzival + Art3mis + Rest of High Five

Blade Runner 2049 - Deckard + Officer K

Fight Club - The Narrator + Tyler Durden (quite like this as an entry)

Solo - Han Solo + Chewie

The Matrix - Neo + Trinity + Morpheus

As for a premium… Not a movie but I’d like a premium release for Attack on Titan anime series.  Action trio of Eden + Mikasa + Armin. Rewatched the first 3 seasons this week and just starting the final season now.

Challenge 16:  

Very aptly named.  There’s untold but I’m running out of time to submit so rushing.  There’s so many older movies I’d like to add but this is list sound.

Terminator 2

The Dark Knight

Aliens

Lord of The Rings

John Wick

The Matrix

Beetlejuice

Blade Runner

John Wick 2

The Terminator
 

I’ll tell you exactly what edition I want and by whom!  Give me Terminator 2 by HDZeta for the love of god!

Wow. That is so cool. She was a big deal in that movie. 👍

Yeah, wonder if I can count her as high end memorabilia….

@DParadigm I’ll let my wife know you appreciated her acting performance.

She was new born baby Willow being passed around in the opening scenes.

Challenge 15:

Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone

The Dark Knight

The Thing

Nativity

Touching The Void

At Christmas we watched Home Alone 1-3 in the background as they happened to be on TV when we had our nephews around over a couple of days.  I managed to avoid Elf this year thankfully. 

I’ll be getting 15 done on Sunday I expect.  Been properly Ill since Tuesday so only just feeling a bit human again.

Yeah it was good.  Thanks for setting it up!

was doing really well early on but decided to start gambling on a few random results which ultimately didn’t pay off.

Challenge 14:

Maybe a controversial pick here for a laugh…. Also tried to pick a couple of not so normal things.

Donnie Darko - Rabbit…

Ghoulies - Ghoulies

Solo - Wookie (Don’t hate 😄)

Harry Potter - Owl

Batman Begins - Bat

My favourite animals are my crested geckos.  I’ve always like fish and all the usual pets but cresties for me!

Challenge 13:

I don’t actually own many TV shows on physical any more.  Well I have a few more but they are dotted out all over the place with parents and friends that I’ll likely never see again.

Scraped together what I actually have to hand in the house.

1:  Battlestar Galactica - This is a really great remake.  First watched it when I came out and bought this set to rewatch with my wife but sadly haven’t got around to it yet.

2:  Blackadder - Absolute classic.  Was just about too young when these first aired but they got plenty of reruns when I was a kid so saw them all plenty of times.  Bought for pure nostalgia and look forward to watching them all again.  Don’t think it’ll ever get old.

3:  Bo’ Selecta - Loved this show in my late teens.  Some of the characters were just so stupidly over the top but still worked.  Never worked out why every single one had the same massive glasses but it added to the stupidness for me.  Keith Lemon was probably one of my least favourite characters from the show but he endures even now and I do enjoy Celebrity Juice whenever I remember to watch it.

4:  Eerie Indiana - This set is actually my wife’s but we both happened to watch it growing up.  Could probably rewatch these as it’s been so many years but not sure how well it would have aged.  Some of the stories still stay in the memory like the subliminal advertising for the World o’ Stuff causing people to buy everything in a zombie state.

5:  Black Books - Another show from my teens. Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran really made it work. I mean a sitcom set in a book shop shouldn’t really work but I really does.  
 

Looks like most of what I have here is because I can’t grow up!!

As for the 3 shows I’d like to get a release, I’d say The Witcher, Alice in Borderland and Mandalorian.  Also outside of streaming I’d like to see a full blu ray release of Buffy.  Recently finished rewatching it and it was a pain choosing between the 4:3 and widescreen episodes.

Yeah I did think there’s some guy with a multi coloured torch flashing it about behind his phone camera.
