It’s longer than the entire Broadway show including the intermission.

I didn’t think the first one was called Part One?

DVDs are 480i or 576i, depending on where in the world you are. 720p is HD.

A couple of them aren’t out yet. A couple I missed, or they just didn’t get theatrical releases here (Australia). Everything else, I Saw in the cinema. Anora, as well, hasn’t come out here yet. The Brutalist. I could go on…

They all had theatrical runs AFAIK.

Saw it theatrically in 2020, when cinemas here put on a lot of older films since they needed something to show and nothing new was coming out. There were some teens there who had evidently never seen it before.

I first saw it on DVD using my computer. Not the ideal experience.

Maybe you just don’t like movies? I’ve seen tons of films theatrically this year, almost none of them mainstream blockbusters.

Yeah, bring back original movies like Hundreds of Beavers, Conclave, Memoir of a Snail, The Substance, A Real Pain, Babygirl, The Last Showgirl, I Saw the TV Glow, Challengers, Wicked Little Letters, Love Lies Bleeding, Origin, The Zone of Interest, The People’s Joker, Kinds of Kindness, Poor Things, All of Us Strangers, The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall…

Why would it being fan fiction mean it’s not copyrighted?

Pretty sure Dead Reckoning was well and truly out of theatres by the time they made the change.

We don’t have any of those things here.

20+22+5+3=50 vs 20+22+5+4=51, since I was going left to right, but it works.

I got through a bunch of them fine, then the $3.99 tripped me up.

Weirdly, my brain went through those numbers as “20, 22, 5, 3, 2.”

Yeah, somewhere along the way “auteur” came to mean “talented artist” in the public imagination, which isn’t what auteur theory states.

Auteur theory is still bullshit, though.

Cameron thinks Avatar is about how the native Americans are responsible for their own genocide, though.

My Bluesky feed is busier than my Twitter feed was when I left a couple of years ago.

“It should have been a fun movie where Joker goes on a rampage through Gotham and causes chaos” is a take I’ve seen far too much of. It’s “Gandhi should have finished with him gunning down his opponents” levels of missing the point.

FWIW, I can’t really agree with the “it’s a genius depiction of mental illness and will be reappraised in time” takes, either. I just thought it was…fine? Not great, not terrible, just there.

I only just discovered recently that TPJ had a Blu-ray release. Deeply annoyed; I could’ve added it to an order I made a while back.

Yeah, I watched it because it was on TV and I was in the mood to just veg out and watch something stupid, and I found it…fine? Like, it’s definitely not bad enough you can enjoy ragging on it, so it’s not as fun an experience as something worse while also not being very good, it’s just there.
