HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahH
these threads die fast because not a lot of people on people actually buy shit and just pirate everything that comes out even if its bad
I know but it doesn't hurt to try, I just wanna talk about movies that aren't capeshit, SW or whatever the fuck people are memeing right now
I only buy dvds and blurays from Dollar Tree because they're only $1
yeah its nice to just talk about movies in general the last movies i bought were ghostbusters 1/2 and Independence day
Pick up anything interesting? I presume Dollar Tree is a charity store thing?
i have a dollar general and most the blu rays there are $5 but ive picked up a few good movies from there

I'm starting to think I have shit taste in film, not to mention that I'm a buyfag
Bought:
>Tokyo Story (Criterion Collection BD)
>The Thing (Shout Factory BD)
Bought:
>Avengers: Endgame 4K - Man is this film boring on the second viewing. When you get over the nostalgia it kinda shit.
>All Is True - Anything Kenneth Branagh makes has kino acting and visuals. Makes up for the wonky writing.
>Hannibal 4K - It had been a while but I loved seeing this again. One of the most underrate sequels of all time. So dark and batshit crazy.
Watched:
>The Greatest Showman 4K - I saw Hugh Jackman live recently so rewatching this was fun. Probabaly gonna watch Les Mis soon and try to ignore Russel Crowe shouting his songs.
Pre-Ordered:
>Batman 4 Film 4K Steelbook Collection - I'm the opposite of everyone else in the sense I can't wait to see the campy Kilmer and Clooney films in colorful 4K. Don't really care for the Burton films.
Dragged Across Concrete, Only God Forgives and Oldboy are good so it can't all be shit taste bro.
Nice, I've got the Arrow version of The Thing but I hear the Shout Factory is decent too (different transfer though I think?)
>Hannibal
Absolute kino, Julianne Moore wasn't great in the role but Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins more than carry it for her, and the direction is the strongest in the series.
>Bought:
Cold Pursuit, a massively underrated film, if not for 'LIAM NEESON RACIST BAD BAD BAD' it would be held up alongside The Death of Stalin as a staple of black comedy
>Arriving soon
That Mitchell and Webb Look seasons 1 and 2, I haven't seen it in years but always loved it when it was on TV, hoping it'll hold up
Final Destination 5, these films are surprisingly hard to track down on blu ray, I managed to find this one on eBay pretty cheap
>Pre-ordered
John Wick 3, yeah I'm thinking he's back
>Cold Pursuit
Jesus, I thought I was the only one who'd seen it. Brilliant movie, good to see someone else enjoyed it
Apocalypse Now blu-ray vs. 4K UHD restoration

Yeah it really seems to have gone under the radar, I saw it at the cinema and there were maybe 10 people there, and when a thread about it would appear here there'd be 2 or 3 people in them, the studios clearly weren't very confident in it because most people just don't seem to have heard of it, and most of those who had thought it was 'just another Taken movie'
Godzilla KOTM arrives Saturday for me.
I'm still incredibly peeved there's no way to get the Anime Trilogy on Bluray in the West yet. Normies can have their Netflix, and as bad as the Anime Trilogy is, I still want it on my shelf next to all my other kaiju movies.
America and Japan are both region A for blu ray so you could always import it
Saw the new cut in cinema, and while my memory of the film wasn't fresh enough to compare it to the last version I saw (Redux), it definitely looked the part. Really excited to pick that set up
They don't have English subs though, so there would be no real point.
Bought:
Airplane!
Band of Brothers/The Pacific
Peaky Blinders S1 & 2
Hannibal S1
Kubo & the Two Strings
Street Trash
Crank 2
It's nice youtube.com
Great video. I still love VHS. Went on holidays to Australia and brought home 22 of them. Threw away a lot of clothes to fit them into the suitcase.
Yes, i'm an idiot.
>tfw no more rental stores in your country
I fucking miss it bros. The smell of popcorn, the carpet, the plastic VHS cases...
This thread should be a fucking tradition. Perfect for keeping zoomers at bay.
Arriving soon:
>pic related
The disaffected youth working at the counter...
I don't understand how people can just watch digital without physically owning stuff. Like... who doesn't look at a big shelf of movies and TV shows and feel proud of their collection and the things they've experienced on the screen? Is this what getting old feels like?
Yeet
I preordered the Criterion Collection Godzilla box set. All 15 Showa era films in one set, a lot of which have never been released on Blu-ray over here, all of them in the original Japanese with subs, including the Japanese cut of King Kong vs Godzilla which has never been officially released outside of Japan. Really excited.
Damn, digging the set.
I'd buy films if my fucking shitty country America had more fucking jobs and better healthcare
That looks cool as shit
Damn Japan and their late releases, but at least the wait is almost always worth it for the fancy trinkets that come with their premium releases.
I pre-ordered pic related and it even comes with a coffee mug.
I also pre-ordered a ton of other Blu-rays but that's a story for another post.
i bought the mad max fury road dvd. last one i bought. thinking of getting the new john wick dvd.
Losing the Ultraviolet "collection" I'd built up from those free slips of paper inside blu ray cases was annoying enough, the idea of paying for streaming rights for a movie and having it disappear because some contract between companies expired would make me livid.
Every year my family goes on vacation to the US (from Canada) and I get a bunch of movies for pretty cheap, including the Barnes & Noble Criterion sale. This is what I've picked up so far. I've already seen a few of them and I know some are supposed to be pretty shit but I get them anyway
That is an impressive haul.
probably getting the king of the monsters blu ray tomorrow
furious 7 kino spotted
after the Joel MacCrea marathon on TCM in thinking of buying The More The Merrier and Sullivan's Travels for my 30s/40s screwball comedy collection.
I haven’t taken any recent pictures of stuff I’ve picked up, so here’s a random old picture to bump
Government and big business can’t censor or memory hole physical media once you own it.
Overjoyed to have tracked down ‘The Siege of Firebase Gloria’ recently. Fuck you, Sony.
t. cranky old man
Oh shit I thought this was just a repack, you've got me all excited now.
