Curt McGirt Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I own the Goodfellas dual-sided disc too, only in an actual DVD case. I guess there are multiple versions of this. You know what is pretty fun, though you wouldn't expect it to be? The Assault on Precinct 13 remake. I avoided it like the plague when it came out but it's almost always on Cinemax and I finally let my guard down and decided to watch it, at least when I find it on because it's always partially through. Maybe it's the cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My copy of The Wild Bunch is on two sides. It's annoying as hell. The first DVD I ever bought was Army of Darkness, but it ended up being the shitty version with the awful ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Bob Patrick, Michael Biehn, Linda Furlong, Kristanna Loken all looking tremendous. A fan. Edward Furlong looking like death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Well, far as Furlong goes, at least he doesn't look as swollen as he did in that Night of the Demons remake. THAT was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The movie or the swelling? I thought the movie was kind of fun. But I was only kind of half watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The swelling. I actually though the film was pretty decent. It was better than the original though Night 2 smoked it. A demon striptease set to Morbid Angel? Right up my alley, especially when I was like 12. EDIT: You know what? I still haven't grown up enough to think that is not the best thing ever.

piranesi Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 My copy of The Wild Bunch is on two sides. It's annoying as hell. The first DVD I ever bought was Army of Darkness, but it ended up being the shitty version with the awful ending. I have that WILD BUNCH too. I bought the Criterion DVDs of THE KILLER and HARDBOILED before I actually bought my DVD player. The first DVD's I got after that I guess were part of a "Buy this Pioneer DV-414 and choose four of these FREE!!!!" I picked the Pioneer DV-414 because it could play VCD's and I was anticipating a lot of purchases from Tai Seng. The four free movies I chose were: THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS LETHAL WEAPON 4 AMADEUS FACE/OFF I wonder how many people started with some combination of those because of that deal, which I think was through Circuit City?

piranesi Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I remember how angry I was in Circuit City filling out the form because they were trying to sell their DivX systems. Does anyone remember those? Where you would buy a DivX disc really cheap, like a rental price, and it would stop working after 48 hours? One of my first genuine internet outrages (on alt.film.something-or-other). Man, the late 90s were a bizarre moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antacular Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 My big issue with Lethal Weapon 4 was they never explained the flamethrower guy from the first scene. Literally coolest bad guy in entire franchise, and as soon as he's disposed of, not expanded on at all. For shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus had at least one split disc release too. A buddy and I rented it and didn't notice until the credits started. We just thought it was really bold to have Mozart die so early in the film. First DVDs bought were Gladiator and Dogma. Last VHS bought (and that's a topic of its own) was either Velvet Goldmine or The Opposite of Sex.

piranesi Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Watching a little bit of LEVIATHAN on the MGM Network. Terrible movie, but it reminds me what a great composer Jerry Goldsmith was. I mean, it makes sense that they got him for an ALIEN ripoff movie, but the score for this is way more fun than the actual movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Cheap plug time. I spend my time digging up info on really, really obscure films from the 70s and 80s. Here are two of my latest ones that I'm pretty damn proud of where I was able to track down the respective films' directors. First is a BLADE RUNNER-style indie sci-fi movie called PRIMAL SCREAM (aka HELLFIRE). The second is a clever thriller called TORMENT, the director of which went on to discover Marc (THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) Webb and Francis (THE HUNGER GAMES sequels) Lawrence in the music video industry. PRIMAL SCREAM:http://originalvidjunkie.blogspot.com/2013/11/obscure-oddities-to-hellfire-and-back.html TORMENT: http://originalvidjunkie.blogspot.com/2014/01/obscure-oddities-torment-1986.html I also do a series on unmade films that is pretty fun:http://originalvidjunkie.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Never%20Got%20Made%20Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 All this dual disc talk of dvd's when they first came out sounds like when the format was first introduced, it was just a laserdisc scaled down in size. Some of the last generation laserdisc players also played DVD's so I guess that's maybe why they were dual disc. First DVD I ever got was Jurrasic Park 3. Still have the dvd player (it was some generic one), but the laser inside must be fubar cause any disc you put in it skips like its scratched. Lasted well over ten years though before I finally got an Xbox and used that for DVD's before the blu ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 That was my "damn I'm old" moment of the day. I had mine when I read that the new one will be set 22 years after the original and I thought "What kind of stupid futuristic bullshit will they pull? 22 years is...2015? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
