I went with the finished red oak and added the inlays + one for the top. Looks like the same one you have selected. They hold more than the 2x4 Kallax. I did the math via inches and can't remember what it came to but everything my Kallax held fit onto 4 1/2 shelves. I was then able to move...

I shared this in the storage thread as that's where I got help selecting new shelves but...

Love me some Gus!

Watched Den of Thieves last night after getting pissed at Elden Ring. 1/3 of the way through and I considered just rewatching The Town. Halfway through, I ordered the OG Heat Blu Ray (which a lot of people prefer to the 4k). The 3rd act was sort of fun but the whole thing felt super derivative...

I'm rewatching it right now. I had forgotten about the intentional glitches and the such. Haven't seen it in probably 10 years. I've agreed the whole time that it's an homage to B films. I guess the question is whether it's possible for a largely budgeted film by an S tier filmmaker to be...

Yeah, yeah. I'm well aware. And Planet Terror 100% feels like a B Film. Death Proof ,on the other hand, has great acting, one of the best car chases in the history of cinema and has production values up the wazoo.

B films are inherently low budget but far from every low budget film is a B-film. To me, a B film denotes a genre film that is poorly made and innately campy as a byproduct of it's budget and amateur nature (ala The Room or Toxic Avenger). Thus why I wouldn't view Death Proof or The Substance as...

Same. It's not healthy for the medium, nor for the crews. I'm lucky. I have access to a vast Plex server. And I don't feel guilty about it because I see about 25 movies in theaters every year and probably buy that many 4ks every year as well. Mubi started in bluray distribution for indies and...

Yeah, perhaps we just have a different perception of what a B movie is. Death Proof is 100% influenced by B movies but I would never call it one.

I'm pretty allergic to musicals. But I do love the Wizard of Oz. I just found the directing to be subpar (color grading, lighting, soecial effects, choreography) and a lot of the films themes to be extremely spelled out in a "this was made for children" way that even most Pixar films avoid...

Return to Seoul is probably on there. Not sure if it will be your speed but is probably top 10 of the decade for me personally.

It's a character study limited in the scope of its story. And it's most concerned with how that gaze is internalized by the women who are affected. It doesn't need to focus on the larger public because Quaid's character serves as the arbiter of content that helps create the outrageous beauty...

I don't think I agree with calling it a B movie at all unless we are going to label films like The Fly and Videodrome as such (which I would also deeply disagree with). It is, however, trying to be entertaining. Smart entertainment, but entertainment none the less. The director is very clearly...

I also feel like its very, very clear what's being roasted. Again, none of the film is subtle. The demanding beauty standards of society, the ways in which Hollywood throws away older actresses, the pressure that people place on themselves to stay good looking, the way in which a person's...

Kneecap 1000% deserved better but I'm not surprised a film about hip-hop failed to click with a voting block that is mostly people older than 45.

Is it on the nose? Undoubtedly, but most satire is. Don't know how old you are, but may be a generational thing. I grew up on South Park and it (along with Heathers and Arrested Development) shaped my sense of humor. The cinematography is breathtaking. It takes a very creative approach to...

That's certainly a take on Dune II. Would have been a firm 5/5 in my book if it hadn't sped up the pacing in the 3rd act. Denis is the best blockbuster director we have. I'd rank it 1. Nickle Boys 2. Brutalist 3. Substance 4. Anora 5. Dune II ..... Throw Wicked and Emila into the dumpster...

Wicked is mediocre as hell. A text book 2.5/5. Emila Perez is at risk of being the worst film to win BP in the history of the universe. Yes, even more so than Crash. Haven't seen A Complete Unknown, Conclave or I'm Still Here (which is supposed to be a masterpiece and has one of the highest...

Thanks to everyone here who helped in the decision making process.
