Extinction Studies<p>Another crap day. But I'm watching Garbo Talks (1984), directed by Sidney Lumet, starring Anne Bancroft, Ron Silver, Catherine Hicks and Carrie Fisher. It's a comedy-drama that didn't make money you guys. </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbo_Talks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbo_Ta</span><span class="invisible">lks</span></a></p><p>After this, Nevada Smith (1966), directed by Henry Hathaway, starring Steve McQueen, Karl Malden, Brian Keith, Arthur Kennedy and Suzanne Pleshette. It's a western, and a prequel to The Carpetbaggers. I don't know why. </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_Smith" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_S</span><span class="invisible">mith</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/physicalmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physicalmedia</span></a></p>
schamspeare<p>Though it’s by no means a blockbuster release, though it was meant to be one film, and though there isn’t much in the way of special features, Criterion is of course taking the opportunity to charge for the price of two blurays. This company is so fucking greedy. They deserve to go under. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/criterion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>criterion</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cinemastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cinemastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/physicalmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physicalmedia</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bluray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bluray</span></a></p>
schamspeare<p>Were there really people in the world who were crying out for this? What a weird release. So unaccountable that it almost makes me want to get it. Maybe that’s what they’re counting on — suckers and curiosity seekers.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/criterion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>criterion</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cinemastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cinemastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/physicalmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physicalmedia</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bluray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bluray</span></a></p>
Matthew Reinbold<p>I recently got an additional set of shelves for my physical movie collection. I got them hung last night - so excited for the new room, but need to figure out what to do with the gaps! </p><p><a href="https://opinuendo.com/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> <a href="https://opinuendo.com/tags/physicalMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physicalMedia</span></a></p>

Extinction Studies<p>Well I'm settling in with some guac, hummus, blue corn chips and cauliflower as my supper, and beginning to watch my TBW's. </p><p>First up, Paranoid (2000), directed by John Duigan, starring Jessica Alba, Iain Glen, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Ewen Bremner and Mischa Barton. It's a British thriller that went absolutely nowhere. I have a South Korean release. </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoid_(film)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoid</span><span class="invisible">_(film)</span></a></p><p>After that, it's In the Bedroom (2001), directed by Todd Field, starring Sissy Spacek, Tom Wilkinson, Nick Stahl, and Marisa Tomei. It's a drama about family disintegration you guys. </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Bedroom" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_B</span><span class="invisible">edroom</span></a></p><p>Lastly, if I have the juice, Zatoichi's Conspiracy (1973), directed by Kimiyoshi Yasuda. It's the 24th in a series of samurai films starring the titular character.

Extinction Studies<p>Folx, freakz, country simpletons, it's been my birthday all day and at this point I am midway through the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven (2005), directed by Ridley Scott.

Extinction Studies<p>I spent the day with friends doing stupid things. Eating mostly. </p><p>I'm now watching Barcelona (1994), directed by Whit Stillman, the last in the Criterion box set. His main characters are all toxic in one way or another. All misrepresenting themselves and each other. Dishonest. And still we are asked to have empathy for them, and so we do. </p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/physicalmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physicalmedia</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/criterion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>criterion</span></a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona_(film)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelon</span><span class="invisible">a_(film)</span></a></p>

Ben! (Boo!)<p>This is dangerous: after months of keeping their DVDs and Blurays only behind the counter where you can't even thumb through them, the Dollar General near me has put out a display of mostly super cheap (many $5 or less) discs and I'm thinking of walking back there to look through them later cause I was on a time crunch when I was there earlier cause I had somebody waiting out in the car for me.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/dvd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dvd</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bluray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bluray</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/physicalmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physicalmedia</span></a></p>
Extinction Studies<p>Hey I realized I didn't tell you guys what I watched last night.

Extinction Studies<p>I watched one side of a disc from Time Tunnel vol 1... it turned out to be out of order but ok.</p><p>Now starting The Last Days of Disco (1998), directed by Whit Stillman, starring Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale, with notable appearances by Michael Weatherly, Robert Sean Leonard and Jennifer Beals, and Stillman's usual supporting cast.
