It’s strange but weirdly validating to see Your Name on the Criterion Channel.

Been meaning to watch this (and any Shinkai) and had planned on getting a Crunchyroll trial, so thanks for the heads up

Shinkai definitely has A Thing, but if you’re into that thing he’s got at least a few bangers.

I’ve got his filmography on my Plex share, hmu if you’d like an invite.

Not sure why, but this is a comfort movie for me.

Watching Gremlins 2: The New Batch and I forgot how great it is. It’s demented and cynical and referential, continually breaking the 4th wall. It feels like it was written by Conan O’Brien era Simpsons writers staff but that’s only part of the fun. The creature special effects are so damn awesome. It makes CGI just seem lazy by comparison. Gremlins 2 was released in 1990 and by 1993 we had Jurassic Park which feels like the turning point from analog to digital/CGI special effects. I understand that that CGI is way cheaper and offers endlesss possibilities but the real thing is so much more viscerally entertaining I wish they still occasionally did creature movies this way with minimal CGI.

Also, Gremlins 2: The New Batch Fun Fact: Howie Mandel is the voice of Gizmo.

I didn't even notice it until after i had seen Training Day I think the only "day" movies that are readily available to me that i can think of are Friday the 13th collection (which i got a couple of weeks ago) and Die Another Day but i would be getting way too ahead of myself with those.

Missed the boat on Dune completely, but had an interest in checking it out. With the new one coming, I was hoping for an IMAX re-release of the first one, and it’s here. Just got my tickets for next weekend. I honestly know so little about this so it should be fun.

Did you see it theatrically or is it streaming somewhere?

i like that you’re going along with the inside joke that this movie is nothing but this shot for the whole runtime

I was not aware of that inside joke haha

The main reason i used that pic was because the main menu wasn't photo friendly and neither was the title card.

Due to technical difficulties i had to stream the theatrical version on Disney+. It seems my blu-ray copy has a crack from the "spindle hole" to 1mm into the playing surface. It's below the surface in a way but apparently enough for the disc to not work at all. So now i gotta find a replacement disc on evilBay
It's my least favorite of the original Apes movies but the extended cut is better. Pretty dumb you can't stream different cuts and another reason physical media is better.
