i never even knew twisted metal had a story, watched the series on a whim and found it to be great fun. you don’t need to know anything about the game to enjoy it

- Comment on Deleted Scenes That Changed The Movie 3 months ago:
ended up watching this on youtube a little while ago, the caps convinced me that it was going to be bad and stupid but he makes a decent argument and the video contains a nice history of little shop of horror endings
Why the THEATRICAL Ending of Little Shop of Horrors is SUPERIOR

resurrection can already be watched as a romantic comedy. will the manic pixie fembot finally get together with the alien powered clone?
- Comment on Commentary, behind-the-scenes features, bloopers: What did we lose when we said goodbye to DVDs? 3 months ago:
do people just say dvd to mean any physical disc? i get it if so, just have never personally heard it
blu rays still come out with some good extras, commentaries, making ofs, interviews and stuff but i guess it’s more niche releases. often with books, posters, art cards as well. in the uk i have some nice ones from:
arrow 88 films 101 films eureka second sight bfi shameless films
haven’t got much from overseas but had some region free luck from north american vendors vinegar syndrome, severin, raven banner, and umbrella entertainment from australia (also region b)
would welcome recommendations for similar labels if you have them
- Comment on The Crow reboot producer is surprised the original filmmakers aren't more accepting of the new movie 3 months ago:
i think largely because it’s called ‘the crow’ rather than ‘the crow: straight to video’ or similar colon title. none of the sequels or spinoffs or whatever they were affected the cult following of the original film/books because nobody gave a shit if they’d even heard of them in the first place, curiosities at best. this one has some real money/clout behind it and is consequentially more disruptive

if you remade a clockwork orange with alex as a fan of my chemical romance instead of beethoven nobody would be convinced by your ‘it’s a new interpretation of the book’ defence either
that said i read somewhere that the trailer music isn’t the same as the actual soundtrack. so maybe it mightn’t be that bad. but he still looks like an emo twink joker

- Comment on BBFC defends decision to lower A Nightmare on Elm Street’s age rating after 40 years 4 months ago:
i saw a similar headline in the guardian as well, both say they have ‘defended’ their decision but neither article mentions who they are defending it from. does the spirit of mary whitehouse still stalk the land? it’s completely reasonable to reclassify against updated guidelines when a film is rereleased (40th anniversary edition in this case)
from the guardian:
The 1937 drama A Star Is Born, starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, was changed to a 12 certificate from a U due to the decision of March’s character to kill himself. The Lee Marvin/Clint Eastwood musical Paint Your Wagon, originally released in 1969, contains frequent references to sex and has been reclassified from a PG to a 12. The 1986 stalker thriller The Hitcher, featuring Rutger Hauer, has, like A Nightmare on Elm Street, been downgraded from an 18 to a 15
all of this sounds fine to me
- Comment on Why Britain is the world’s worst on homelessness 5 months ago:
agree with this and would add that the privatisation of social housing needs to be reversed by abolishing the right to buy before real investment into it can be started
