one of the reasons for my double feature: I received a DVD today of one of my all-time favorite movies, can't buy it as a digital copy, doesn't stream anywhere, so I'm in the process of ripping the DVD:

Young Frankenstein, 1974

Same. I had to buy and rip the DVD too. Such a shame that it doesn’t stream anywhere.

I never see any Mel Brooks movies streaming anywhere. Hmmmm

I remember watching it on Prine a couple or so years ago, but not available anymore ;(
And I do know that I had this movie previously, just can't remember if it was VHS, I ripped all my DVDs like 20 years or so ago and it was not on my computer, but now it is ;)

It has always puzzled me why monster people (Black Lagoon Creature, Frankenstein, Kong, etc, have always wanted to go after young white women, who are generally from a completely different species. Were they to be a little bit less fussy, there are a whole lot of other types of humans, or even other species like piggies, cows, kangaroos and the like.
Just ponderin...

Looks like Tron Ares is flopping hard. I absolutely loved the original tron movie, the other one was ok, but not great. This may be unfair, but I just find Jared Leto to be a poor lead actor. I'm not sure why, but he takes the method acting mantra too far and in a way that seems to put the focus on him and not the role. Another famous method actor, is the polar opposite, Daniel Day Lewis, he transforms into the role and its quite impressive.

Have you seen it yet, or only reviews?

I think I saw a trailer for it a few months ago, but don't remember it. I assume it's in theaters now.

Dear Hollywood: Stop. Making. Rehashed. Mediocre. Remakes. This PSA was brought you by a fan of good original shows.

I am not surprised about Tron, I loved the original and also enjoyed the remake though in large part due to the banging soundtrack by Daft Punk and speaking of banging, Olivia Wilde. /jk

I'm interested to watch the South Korean film No Other Choice when it's released. It's a 'satirical, black comedy'. Trailer is rather nicely put together 🙂

Tron:Ares was good and entertaining-- of you're a Tron fam.

It had many throwbacks to the original which I appreciated. Its made for 3D so i would see it in that.

I grew up watching the original Tron on video disc and I knew the movie front to back so they put so many small references to the original I was very pleased.
