I always get at least a chuckle if not a lol attack!!!

The more he yells the better. He's probably one of my favorite actors to watch yelling. His early career was so much more subdued with performances with a lot of nuance. Yet, his later performances are a class of their own. I'll watch any movie with him, because you never fully know what you're in store for.

Lol, this whole thing made me chuckle. It's giving major why are you so obsessed with me reference vibes. Insert obligatory Mean Girls gif

He didn't say no one should want to own it. He just said he didn't. It's OK.

Personally, I don't care why someone does or doesn't want to own anything. Makes no difference to me.

One of the advantages of putting everything on a media server, I can translate any foreign titles I happen to pick up:

KL Insider:

Just curious. You have only Sept-Dec release schedules to announce for the rest of this year. You have between 60-70 titles listed at HTF that have been officially announced but don't yet have a release date. Do you expect that all of the titles in your Paramount deal will be scheduled for 2023 or could any of them be released by the end of this year?

Also, can you say when you will announce another title from your Sony deal? Maybe a 70s or 80s title?

Only responded that way because I was told that I didn’t know about OCD and that I didn’t care. Neither are true. People who don’t want to discuss something don’t usually keep discussing it but tell others to stop, in a public forum. I’ll do my best next time.

Yeah, but what about Buch und Production JAMES CAMERON and Regie KATHRYN BIGELOW? But for some reason 20th Anniversary Edition is in English?

Yup. Totally agree. Not in dispute.

Couldn't agree with you more.

The Aussies are the worst offenders as far as ratings logos. Huge boxy things. At least the Germans and the UK are now using removable stickers and/or reversible covers w/o the logos. I don't think the people buying these films really care how the film was rated. Parents buying cartoons for their kids I understand but not this.

The issue is that you have a reputation for being antagonistic/passive aggressive on this forum, and it's something that has been brought to your attention, yet you continue. People don't like to be harrassed, yet you like to pinpoint things that bother you constantly, and you say it's ok because it's a public forum. Sometimes, it's best to just keep your comments to yourself and stop bothering people.

I love Michael Weldon's hilarious review for "Catch the Heat" in his second Psychotronic book. This line in particular:

"Steiger, as usual, wears a hairpiece that looks ready to slide off at any minute, flashes his big grin once in a while, and spends the rest of the film slowly building to emotional explosions."

Instant buy!

I'd rather have a movie with a big, ugly UK/Aussie ratings logo plastered on the art than not own it on Blu at all. If it bothers you that much, there's a custom cover art thread for a reason.

So much for deescalating and moving on. Don’t worry. I’ll never bring up your reputation here in the forum.

LOL. Kinda the same way. Plus, with the cool Media Book releases, you can't even read the book. In the end, having the movie on blu is the number one thing, but dammit I wouldn't mind being able to read it as well. I pretty much stick to the UK R2 releases unless it is something I have to have (Strange Days, Open Range, Suspiria 4K (2018)...)

Yes, he's amazing in January Man and The Specialist.

It would be nice to move on, but you're still referencing me in your other posts and I'm not sure why you feel the need to do that. I honestly don't understand why decided to give me so much attention, but at this point, it's unwanted attention. Hopefully this is something you'll be able to finally understand.
