Pre-ordered the Criterion 4K release of Wall-E. Yes, this actually is happening. Gave the Blu-Ray of Wall-E to my sister.

My current Terminator video collection:

*The Terminator {1995 THX Laserdisc}
*Terminator 2: Judgment Day {1991 Super35 Reframed Laserdisc}
*Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Special Edition {1993 Bronze PSE Laserdisc}
*Terminator 2: Judgment Day {1997 DVD}
*Terminator 2: Judgment Day {2009 Skynet Blu-Ray}

JEDIT: Added a photo

Added the Skynet Edition Blu-Ray of Terminator 2. Also pre-ordered the 4K version of Casablanca.

The Future Coda ending of Terminator 2 is a better ending than the theatrical ending. It prevents lots of terrible sequels, and it ties in to the film’s themes of “no fate but what we make for ourselves” by preventing the nuclear war from happening.

With studios in the news for deleting films they don’t consider profitable from streaming services, having a collection of over 700 physical films is a worthwhile investment not only for your own library but for film preservation.

For the first Jurassic Park: John Williams, Steven Spielberg, James Rolfe and two of my closest IRL friends.

Added Get Carter (1971) BFI 4K Ultra HD and 6 Alfred Hitchcock films on Laserdisc.

One idea I had was going all-out with changes in Episode I, which is a prequel 3-in-1. Then the Cassian Andor show is Episode II, followed by Rogue One as Episode III.

Fan edits of the original Star Wars trilogy should have new effects that stick to the limits of 1977-1983 technology rather than reusing Special Edition effects if the edit’s designed to be more like the theatrical cuts.

One idea I mentioned on the Radical Redux thread was having Dooku and Sidious meet on Exegol at the end of Attack of the Clones. This ties it into the ST.

I think that the prequels should have an aesthetic less technologically advanced than the OT. Thus vector graphics for the displays.

Added MGM/UA CLV Singin’ in the Rain (1952), Ivanhoe (1952) and Oliver! (1968) DADC USA pressing on Laserdisc.

Added the German Blu-Ray double feature of A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and For a Few Dollars More (1965) to my collection. Thanks Spencer ‘Captainsolo’ Draper for recommending this disc to me during your Fistful of Dollars 4K review livestream yesterday!

Added the Laserdisc release of Grass (1925), a silent documentary completely unavailable on Blu-Ray and incredibly rare on DVD. Also added the 1993 MGM Letterbox Laserdisc of Dr. No (1962) to my collection. Still keeping the 1988 VHS of Dr. No.

My DTS Laserdiscs:

Apollo 13
Jurassic Park

The oldest in my permanent collection is the JSC Laserdisc of Star Wars, issued on Christmas Day 1986.

Beta tapes on my Format War I display shelf (all are Pan & Scan)

Easy Rider (1969)
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961)
The Sound of Music (1965) [comes on 2 tapes]
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) [Just recently added]

There are plenty of good AVGN episodes from the Screenwave era (2018 on). Town With No Name is among the best, and the Home Alone episode was awesome as well.

It has the Atmos remix, which has altered sound effects that end up making the film worse. The 4-film Batman Legacy snapcase DVD has the original 5.1 mixes for all four films.

Casablanca might very well deserve it’s acclaim. It has incredible performances, an incredible script, great cinematography by Arthur Edeson, and some of the best scenes in all of film. And on Friday, I’ll be seeing it in a real theater.

Your changelist doesn’t mention that Han shot first.

Adywan did a good job removing Yavin IV from the SE shot of the fighters approaching the Death Star. You should check it out, and possibly use it in the next version of ANH.

Added the Kino 4K Ultra HD Blu-Rays of The Apartment (1960) and Touch of Evil (1958).

Currently watching Batman: The Animated Series on DVD. Some episodes I’ve already seen, others I’m seeing for the first time. It’s an incredible show.

Draco Malfoy was never redeemable the way a lot of the Potter fandom thinks he is.
