  1. Got to see DotD in 3D late last year on its anniversary release and the 3D legit held up nicely. I know that there was a super groovy 4K limited box set for it but was sold out almost immediately.
  2. First off, to Chris (nice name by the way says one Chris to another), Biggie (dude you made me misty, you rock!), Shader, Blood, & SFLU - we will be going to follow up w/ a couple law firms to see what we can do going forward, but to you all I say THANK YOU!
  3. Was reported earlier today that Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 is 180 minutes as well. Between that, this, Avatar: WoW, Terrifier 2, if it's a film that I want to live in the world, then the longer run time isn't a detriment to me personally.
  4. They just announced a 4K for Conan the Barbarian. The Warriors SHOULD have both the original AND director's cuts on the 4K I believe.
  5. Just wanted to bump this in case we get confirmation that this game will actually release sometime in 2023.
  6. @Mr.Vic20 sincerely thank you. While, to my own detriment more often than not, I unfortunately don't "reach out" when its needed & necessary (sorta why I posted this as a cry for help in some way I guess?) However, I'll use this thread to update when I can. That all said, no shit, reading your words brought tears to my eyes, I thank you for your time just to say all of that.
  7. So apparently Arrow Video/Scream is having a HUGE sale (up to 60% off on over 300 titles) so why not scope it out! They have amazing box sets of Giallo films, the Shawscope 12 disc collection is under $100!
  8. I'm not one to put my personal stuff out there too much but I'm writing this in hopes others may have had some experience either personally or via someone close in their lives (unfortunately that is once you hear what's going on). So my wife had surgery back in the end of November for a hiatal hernia (more than half of her stomach was outside of her stomach as the sphincter around the esophagus was loose from GERD & constant stomach acid eroding it). So she gets a nissen fundoplication (essentially cut a bit of the stomach & wrap it around to strengthen the sphincter & ensure the stomach stays in place). The thing that happened however, was that her vagus nerve was damaged. How severely? Unknown yet as she'll be going for what will be her roughly 6th non-surgical procedure related to her gastrointestinal issues. She has ZERO quality of life post-op. She can spend days at a time, morning, noon, & all throughout the night dry heaving & retching (the surgery makes it so she can't physically actually throw up by the way). The nerve being damaged makes her constantly nauseated, unable to eat barely anything (legit, she can barely polish off one of those P3 protein snack packs). She is weak, dizzy, unable to maintain body temps throughout the day, is suffering from further numbness & tingling in her extremities, a number of other issues. Meanwhile, we went to the gastro doc that had referred her to the surgeon who fucked her up real good, and not only did he confirm via the last two tests that my wife absolutely has gastroparesis & as he went on about the results he became physically uncomfortable & awkward while attempting to change the topic & move onto other items of note to address. This is off the back that when my wife had gone for a follow up w/ the surgeon, she took ZERO responsibility for any issues being suffered at the hands of my wife, so much as to even throw her own assistant (essentially a medical grad student doing her residency under this woman) for not even doing the stitches appropriately. So in essence, the surgeon who has completely made my wife's life EVEN WORSE than it was prior to surgery, isn't taking any responsibility for her part in it & immediately sent her back to the referring doctor aforementioned. Fast forward to earlier today when my wife went to see her primary care physician & in essence, said not only the same thing I had said not 48 hours prior to my wife & the gastro doc that she has no quality of life, but that the surgeon needs to take up responsibility for the error & issues caused. I'm pretty sure this is a solid enough case legally, no? Furthermore, if ANYONE has had any type of interaction with or know of someone suffering from something similar, just doing what I can for a little help or understanding or just SOMETHING! I know that literally none of this is about me, yet it sickens me to no end that there is literally fuck all I can do for my wife aside from being loving & supportive (I know that these are absolutely big deals yet in my opinion, for the one I love above all others including myself, this isn't acceptable!) Just really going through it, this is taking up the bulk of my time & life of course, a myriad of other things going on, mental health is struggling to say the least. TL;DR - Just thanks for being here if you do reply!
  9. Crazy to think that Clueless came out 28 years ago & Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers as well.
  10. I genuinely did not know that about the overpasses. Fascinating & also outrageously awful that the rail companies can just DO this without repercussions.
  11. Also, this map illustrates how the runoff may very well affect the Mississippi River. (Red dot where the train derailment took place.)
  12. I happened across this on Friday the 10th for the first time, yet from what I can gather, this event happened a week prior on the 3rd. I happened across it because of Twitter, it wasn't until about an hour or so ago I saw personally, the first mass news report (more like a 2 second throwaway summary and kept moving on) - meanwhile those both in the know & those dealing with this in the immediate areas are telling a far different story than anything being reported on.
  13. Granted some may not be all on board with the catasrophizing of climate change, but the concept mixed with such a superb cast in a series of interconnected episodes, sounds like a fun watch.
  14. This Is Why Keanu Reeves Wanted 'John Wick: Chapter 4' to Remain a Theatrical Release COLLIDER.COM 'Chapter 4' was delayed several times due to the pandemic.
  15. Makes one wonder where the Ant-Man trilogy COULD & quite possibly SHOULD have gone had Edgar Wright remained all those years ago. That said, we wouldn't have had Baby Driver nor Last Night in Soho, so yeah who knows.
  16. This makes me SO very happy to hear. Experiences like these are why going to theaters is unlike anything else. Hoping to catch it this weekend for sure!
  17. Remember that not only does this arrive in theaters today but that there's a collector's edition Blu Ray set announced as well!
  18. Since going to see it in December, the Babylon soundtrack has played practically nonstop in my head.
  19. I never actively root for a film to fail but this doesn't look all that good. Granted, I only just watched the original within the last 3 or so years, haven't watched any of the sequels, so not entirely sure what to think of in terms of tone or anything. I'll wait & see...
