Babycat Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Scream 2 (8/10) Not quite as good as the first, although I love the villian reveal at the end and the cast are once again fantastic. I haven't seen this trilogy in around a decade, nd two films in I am a massive fan still! Can't wait to see the third as I remember really loving that one! Do yourself a favour and stay away from the 4th though! Not seen any of them myself. Which is the best one to watch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessary. It does nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Double Feature Friday 1980s Silent Scream Somewhat dreadful thru the first hour, but turns suddenly when Barbara Steele finally arrives .. very odd turn this one takes, and makes it worth watching And old friend ... first saw this in the theater and no matter when or where I see it now, it still feels brand new The blu ray transfer is incredible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Yesterday's Silent Scream and the Kilroy / Elder poll have me back circa 1980-1983 I had a friend in school - Ralph - and he had a moped .. so he got a job at the video store picking up and delivering VHS tapes to people's houses ... That was an era in which we watched movies what seemed like every night .. One I never had got to see I saw tonight .. 1981's Graduation Day Schlock, standard early 80's slasher film, and I loved every minute ... For the next few weeks, I'll be trying to get in a 80s slasher every weekend It's interesting too because there is the wave of renewed interest in this era - Stranger Things, Witching Season, Ready Player One - but no matter how accurate, they can't get that feathered hair down like the real thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna watch the 30th Anniversary Edition this evening. Love this damn movie!I f*cking love the scene on the Orca at night, where Hooper, Brody, and Quint are drinking and comparing scars, and all of a sudden Robert Shaw is talking to your soul.

VT, the blu ray is stunning ... night scenes are amazing - I cannot imagine it looking better .. The scene that introduces Quint -- the gathering in the municipal meeting room -- maybe it's just that I'm older now and can appreciate these things, but the turquoise mouldings and door in that room just jump out .. there's an upstairs room in one of my barns that I still need to finish renovating, but it going to be the Amityville Board Meeting Room !!!! The blu ray was on $7 and change on amazon ... I would definitely go for it as it is a noticeable improvement over the DVD http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcompare6/jaws.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound delicious! Thanks for the link. I'll pick up the blu-ray next Amazon order. :cheers: Was there much frigging around with special effects etc?I knew they "improved" the shark effects, but the 30th Anniversary edition had parts that seemed to have been "tightened up" editing-wise.(for the attention-spans of today? ) One of the first times I saw this on tv (late 70s/early 80s), they showed the scene with Quint in the music store with the little clarinet player. There must've been a tv edit version at one time.

I believe that's the same as the 30th anniversary edition .. It's been some time since I have seen the movie in it's entirety, but to my eye, there was no reediting or anything going on .. I know that there can be a tendency to feel let down after someone raves about how good something is, but I cannot overstate how good a job they did on the blu ray -- and I bought the bargain basement 1 disc blu ray .. The image is spectacular, one of the most pleasant surprises I have had when going from VHS to DVD to blu ray .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Django Unchained ...with my mom Mine wouldn’t watch those kinds of violent movies so I know the feeling. My mom was not happy with a sex scene when I saw Jerry Maguire with her in theaters at age 16. Awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
