Weird that they jam two entire movie files onto the same disc instead of using the same video with alternate audio options. Unless the rest of the American releases were recut as well? I was under the impression that the original was the only one that actually got chopped up for the U.S. and that the rest were just…

Ordered the Classic dvd set today. I actually already own the Classic Gojira/Godzilla: King of Monsters! set, but the box set is still cheaper than the other ones individually. Are the other transfers comparable with those discs?

I was holding off on Amazon before hitting MovieStop and Newbury Comics, but what little they had used was more expensive than they are new online. I'm zeroing in on that box set, the Destroy All Monsters blu-ray, and the 90s era Mothra/Ghidorah double feature. My favorites when I was a kid were the 1964 Mothra vs.…

This trailer failed to get me excited about the new film, but I am now much more interested in Godzilla in general than I have been for a while. I think I'm going to hit Movie Stop on my way home tomorrow and see if I can snag some used Showa and/or Hesei-era discs.

A great scene, but it's always really bothered me how he starts in on the brownie before he's finished the grilled cheese. for all the scene's charm. I can't reconcile that flavor clash.

They have made a point of saying it's the 1997 version as opposed to the 2011 though, which might indicate they'll be showing actual 35mm prints. I might be willing to tolerate the changes for an evening if it means seeing Star Wars on celluloid in 2016.

The common thread connecting a lot of these seams to be a conspicuous lack of hipness.

My favorite Drunk History moment might be when Kirkman started actually crying about how Mary Dyer was buried in an unmarked grave but that people go to Europe to see Jim Morrison's grave and his music sucks.

Didn't the AV Club just run an article a few months ago about how profoundly mediocre Empire Records was?

Film:
The Force Awakens, natch. Also continued my impromptu Peter O'Toole fest (after watching Becket during the week) with The Lion in Winter and the first half of Lawrence of Arabia.

I'm sure we'll see Ahsoka again, but I'm really hoping it's as a Force ghost. I know the whole "no body, no death" rule, but any scenario I can conceive of where she wasn't killed off for real here seems really disingenuous.

Films:
-Band of Outsiders
-Amelie
-Airplane!
-The Force Awakens bootleg
-Batman Begins
-Jesus Christ Superstar

I also hate this song, but I crank the volume every time it comes on the radio because of Community.

I think that young John Hurt would make a great Thom Yorke if they were ever to make some sort of time-defying Radiohead biopic.

Is it true that Will.i.am goes by Will.je.suis in France? Someone told me that the other day and I don't think I believe it but I really want to.

I saw the play when it was in Cambridge a couple years ago and have been waiting for some word on a video version ever since. I was just expecting a filmed performance, not a full-blown TV movie. Very excited to revisit this.

I watched a handful of other things, but the big one was Jean-Luc Godard's Pierrot le Fou. It was actually the second time I watched it this week: on Wednesday, fresh off my latest "I'm going to try Rosetta Stone again and actually stick with it this time!" resolution, I went looking through my collection for…

Oh shit, I forgot Planet Earth. I think my friends and I might have actually done the whole series in one sitting ("laying limply strewn about the apartment" is probably a better description of what we were actually doing) this past July 5th.

My hangover ritual in college was to order a burrito, two pupusas, and two Jarritos sodas from the Mexican place a few blocks away (the selection was finely tuned to get my order less than a dollar above their delivery minimum) and graze lazily while watching Star Trek TOS in bed all day. I'd actually kind of love to…

What's the channel called? I haven't really explored any channels beyond the subscription services I already had when I bought the Roku.
