Wetmovie is a little special.

I think the whole movie thing is all he really has, so I try not to hold it against him. I like his vids when the side characters like Gabe show up, I've watched them off and on going back years, but scummy is a word I definitely think of when I notice some of his practices. He burned a lot of bridges with Coolduder and other movie Youtubers, they won't even talk to him now.

That's how it is for me.

Part II is universe B when I feel like continuing the Choose Your Own Adventure thing, luckily they had the foresight to try and end it for good. Then III is just a solid movie. After that, 4 is like Degrassi the Next Generation sillyness but super watchable, 5 barely exists to me, and Part 6/H20 are something like Saved by the Bell the College Years I love them. Never saw 8 to this day or Zombie's stuff. But all of that still stays separate from the first for me. We're way better off with sequels than Highlander, but Phantasm has it much better than us, maybe Nightmare as well. I'm a sucker, though, I secretly love all this bad stuff.

The scalpers aren't the problem.

You will love Resurrection, then. It's incredible in its level of camp for a 2002 movie.

I've been seeing shipping confirmations from Shout! Factory finally starting to trickle in online, so hoping I'll hear something by day's end.

What is the quality of the TV Cut? Not expecting anything great but hope it's at least watchable.

The flickering problem with Halloween wasn't a problem with the disc itself, it's been an ongoing issue with Panasonic 4k players and Dolby Vision. That problem is now resolved with the latest firmware. The flickering with The Fog is a separate issue that I believe was with that specific disc and how it was encoded.

I was impressed for SD video, looks better than any DVD I watched on my 4k tv

It was surprisingly nice quality. There's obvious softness/blur to the picture that might give it an out of focus look around the edges, but the center of the 4:3 image is crisp clearness. It felt a lot like watching it off a VHS recording. Some fuzzy lines rolling up the screen every now and then. Closer near the end you get some filmic white spots/scratches. Adds to the vintage feeling.

I watched this when it aired; I was 8. Between this and my previous week's viewing of Dark Night of the Scarecrow, I knew I was a horror movie fan.

Anyone know of a good program to sap the ld mono on this sucker. I found a rip of the disk, so I’m ready to make my copy.

I watch it like this. Transfer looks a little blurry to me.

Myself and others had issue with our panasonic players doing this. Sounds like it was related to issues with it playing titles with dolby vision. Check to see if your player has a firmware update as it fixed the issues for myself and someone else. If not you could see if you could turn dolby vision off and see if that fixes it.

Amateurs. The correct way to watch these pictures is standing outside your house on a stormy night looking through half-open shutters watching someone else watch the movie.

Anything else is just weird.

I tried that once, but Jenna Fischer didn't like it much.

Yup! Three for some reason lol. One for shipping, one for “order updated,” and one for “order complete.” The first email had the tracking number

But there’s something about him being a YouTuber and also a flipper/scalper that rubs me the wrong way.

That movie is actually oop. Was it ever a DT movie? I bought mine full price and don't regret it. I love Hilary Duff.

Also, yeah, he has 50,000 subscribers so he probably makes money off that alone.

Ditto.
