Most people don't realize true cinema. Unless they're us.

The greatest people you'll ever meet.

Cockroaches will outlive all disc-based media.

Just ask Criterion about disc rot.

I plan on going back to Target either Friday or Saturday to see if there are any movies that I want. I was there yesterday to pick up my shoes and video game, but didn’t see anything that I wanted.

Back on topic, I got one of those deals in my Circle: $20 reward after spending $60 three times.

I didn't intend to do it, but I'm 1/3 there now. I have until 10/25 to spend $60 twice...

Great gimmick, that I'll totally get done.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 10-13-2021, 05:04 AM

I know not kinda a deal. But I see they have a BD pre order up for the movie Saint Maud.

An little known A24 film that was dumped on Epix streaming. and then all over else. Was suppose to be in theaters. but you know that story the last nearly 2 years.

There are people who never change the settings on their HDTV and watch everything with that soap opera effect. Sometimes they don't even notice the difference.

Sad.

Optimization should be the first step to a new TV. When you know your media/source, it's like night/day.

Coughs in 16:9 being output in a 4:3 letterbox in 480i over coax stretched to 16:9 full-screen on a 4k TV.

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

Yes, l still see this happen. Not as often as l use to, but these people still exist.

Since yesterday, I have been looking for an unboxing video on youtube, for the Target exclusive of Free Guy. I finally found one this morning. The guy calls it a 4k ultra dvd

Wonder if he will try playing it in a DVD player

I left him a comment to educate him on the various formats.

For people who want to see his video:

And he's a Professor too?!

He cared enough to get the steel case and early to the release but doesn't know the name of what he's getting. This will always be funny and frustrating.

Maybe he gets more views by sounding like he had no idea what he's talking about...

I can think or 1 or 2 items in the last 2-3 years that shipped directly from a store and every one of them was delayed and OOS at the time at the warehouse so it looked like someone called around to stores that had stock and manually set up a shipment (at least one of the Stranger Things sets certainly did this after being backordered 6 weeks and I was sure it was going to get cancelled)

Mine almost all come from LaVergne TN, Savage MD, or Clackamas OR. I'm sure they also have a warehouse near Chicago (Carol Stream?), but I don't remember getting many orders from IL.
