Gave my Criterion Blu-Ray of Night of the Living Dead (1968) to my sister.

Pre-Ordered Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) 4K Steelbook and Duel (1971) French 4K Steelbook.

Super Mario Galaxy is an underrated game, and is better than Super Mario 64.

Added the following pictured classics to my collection: Wait Until Dark (1967) Laserdisc, X: The Man with X-Ray Eyes (1963) Kino Blu-Ray and Lifeboat (1944) Kino Blu-Ray.

Also added The French Connection (1971) on Laserdisc once I heard of that film being censored on streaming.

Jurassic Park III is the second best film in the franchise, behind only the first one. This film is aware that it’s meant to not be taken as seriously, and is a fun ride from start to finish.

Added Back to the Future Trilogy (1985/1989/1990) 4K Ultra HD, The Third Man (1949) Criterion Laserdisc, Bonnie and Clyde (1967) Digibook Blu-Ray and All About Eve (1950) Laserdisc to my collection.

Pre-ordered Hugo (2011) Arrow 4K Ultra HD/Blu-Ray 3D Combo.

Weeded the DVD of Hugo (2011).

Added Topaz (1969) on Blu-Ray and Frenzy (1972) on DVD to my collection. Sold the Magnetic VHS of The African Queen (1951)

The Birds (1963) is a seriously overrated film. There are many other classic Hitchcock pictures from both before and after this film that are better than this film.

The Guns of Navarone (1961)
Watched on 2013 Blu-Ray

4 stars out of 4

An incredible war film with great cinematography, incredible performances and an epic storyline. Make sure to see this film in widescreen.

Pre-ordered The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) 4K Ultra HD. Put Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) Japanese Laserdisc on eBay

Pre-ordered Looney Tunes: Collector’s Choice Volume 1 Warner Archive Blu-Ray. 19 of the 20 shorts in here are new to my collection.

Fiction is not reality, and people need to learn to separate fictional characters from reality. For example, it hurts nobody if you ship Greedo with Jabba, and even though I don’t ship Jabba with anyone, it’s wrong to mock people for doing so.

A horrible Photoshopped cover for a horrible movie

Disney is missing out on millions of potential dollars by refusing to release a physical version of The Mandalorian. Their deliberate decision to make the show Disney+ exclusive is depriving people with poor internet access the ability to see the show. Even if Disney charges $45 a season, people will buy it so that they can watch Mandalorian offline, and truly own a legit copy.

The concept of a digital only console is one of the worst ideas that the modern gaming industry has done, and that’s saying something. Once the servers are shut down, the manufacturers turn every copy of that system into non-recyclable waste. This has already happened with the Ouya and PSP Go, and it’s going to become a massive problem further down the road.

Kenobi is the worst of the Disney+ Star Wars shows. The entire premise creates planet-sized plotholes for the rest of the saga, and turns the original trilogy into a second-order idiot plot.

If you’re going to make an always online game, the game should be only offered digitally, as creating a physical version will eventually result in lots of unneeded waste when the server is shut down.

Pre-ordered the new 4K editions of The Maltese Falcon (1941) and Cool Hand Luke (1967).

Weeded the following doubles of films I already have better copies of:

*X-Men (2000) VHS
*Men in Black (1997) VHS [Double]
*Mary Poppins (1964) VHS [have the AC3 Laserdisc]
*Star Wars Trilogy (1977/1980/1983) Fullscreen VHS [have the JSCs]
*My Fair Lady (1964) CBS/FOX Laserdisc [keeping the UHD]
*The Black Cauldron (1985) VHS [have the DVD]
*Fantasia (1940) VHS [have the Japanese Laserdisc boxset]
*Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) VHS [have both cuts on DVD]
*The Sand Pebbles (1966) Japanese Fullscreen Laserdisc [have the Japanese letterbox Laserdisc]

Added the James Cagney Collection Laserdisc, Rear Window Fullscreen Laserdisc, The Kid/A Dog’s Life Chaplin Laserdisc, Black Lagoon Season 1 Steelbook DVD, Maltese Falcon 3-disc DVD and Rick & Morty Season 1 Blu-Ray.

Attack of the Clones is the worst movie in the Skywalker Saga. Not only did Lucas double down on his mistakes from the Phantom Menace, but he also added an unbearable romance and made Anakin unsympathetic 2 films in. Padme would realistically dump someone who confessed the Tusken slaughter to her.

Added the 4K Ultra HD release of It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) and the Criterion DVD of Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979).

Here’s a photo of my widescreen VHS collection as of January 22, 2023 (photo taken December 2022):

Most of the best films of all time have already been made, and there’s not much being released mowadays that I have a desire to see now that superhero films are pushing out arthouse films and director-driven fare.

Added The Lusty Men (1952) Laserdisc, The Sand Pebbles (1966) Japanese Letterbox Laserdisc, The Sand Pebbles (1966) Japanese Fullscreen Laserdisc and The Most Dangerous Game (1932) Masters of Cinema Blu-Ray
