there's a funny irony one of the reasons it could've been implemented was it really got noticed when "influential users" got to attend all-media showings, which were embargoed, and found out the hard way those invites have dumb fine print

I remembered that way too late. But somebody reminded me about Coach Carter recently and I thought going for a Hateful Eight/CC duo.

Also my excuse being a latchkey childhood. No idea how anyone that didn’t grow up in video stores deals with this.

not since sipping a martini in green lantern has peter sarsgaard delivered as good a moment as "but you reopened the case" and he just sheepishly eats his bacon egg and cheese sandwich in the bride!

rewatching the ring on the criterion VHS series and a) it looks astonishingly good and b) Naomi Watts cannot be trusted around any children with psychic powers or books of henry or vhs tapes

shitposting about paul w.s. anderson’s Pompeii had led to the discovery of a Russian film on Netflix about ice skating criminals the day isn’t wasted

all in all this has been an exhausting day of learning I don't have enough hate or experience to write or edit anywhere because every outlet I've written for has been erased from the internet or absorbed into another outlet and therefore I have no experience

The two great parts of pillion are:
-β€œlet’s take the day off”
-and Ray reading a β€œMy Struggle” when, during this wider release, KnausgΓ₯rd’s announced as the Criterion SENTIMENAL VALUE essayist

why did you have so many Flip HDs? how did they go untouched for 18 years?

nothing fascinates me more than local a/v estate sales as companies are being picked off because it's like "we have a crate of 24 untouched Flip HDs for $30 or best offer" and I check back and it's an insane bidding war

looking back the greatest modern innovations in online film criticism are:
-Gregg Turkington's number of bags of popcorn
-Rotten Tomatoes creating an easily exploitable submission system
-the movie guru's heart/brain/courage and entertainment chart and number of times he checks his watch
