Spoiler
Dante from Clerks III
I really resonated with the character and how everything is others peoples fault and he rarely bothered to sort his own life out. Feels just like me! 😆 So their death in this film really struck a chord with me and I was in floods of tears.
Blue Shift was originally part of the Dreamcast port of Half Life. The game did leak and it was quite fun to experience it on the DreamCast but the problem was the game was in fairly small chunks and had to load off the CD which made the wait quite painful.
I bought it cheap some time ago because I got fed up playing on the small screen of my Switch Lite. It's still really good and on PS5, it automatically plays with a 60fps mode.
I've played through Half Life twice. Once on original release and secondly when it received that big remaster fairly recently. I'm my opinion, it's a fantastic game until you get to Xen and it becomes a bit of a annoying platform fest.
I expect they're 1080p web downloads remuxed for BDRs. Allegedly. If you know about that sort of thing. 😆
I've been tempted to buy The Killer because that's a Fincher film that won't get a physical release I expect.
I find it interesting that everyone thinks he's a genius when in reality, he's just a rich cunt that's bought up other people's ideas/businesses.
Ironic that Willow gets a 4K physical release and the sequel series is gone forever. (Unless you sail the seven seas or I'm sure someone on Etsy has burned them to BDRs. 😆)
The studios must realise that once it's PVOD, your giving a perfect copy to the pirates!
Another quick release. I thought this only happened to the underperforming films.
A $26m worldwide opening weekend isn't great, is it.
So that'll be streaming on PVOD next week, with the 4K and Blu-ray two weeks later then, I guess? 😆
I was thinking of pickup up the Arrow Video Blu-ray in preparation for the upcoming release of the sequel. Is it just the 4K affected?

The company Kino Lorber previously announced that they will be releasing John Candy's 80s comedy, Summer Rental, on 4K Blu-ray in January. The boutique label has now announced that the following month another beloved John Candy movie will be having a new physical video remastering. Blu-ray.com has revealed that Uncle Buck will get its own Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray release on February 18. This film was a much bigger hit for Candy and is seen as one of his best movies. This is also the film that would give Hughes the idea to write Home Alone with Macaulay Culkin in mind.
The movie stars John Candy, Amy Madigan, Jean Louisa Kelly, Gaby Hoffmann and Macaulay Culkin. The Description reads, "When Cindy (Elaine Bromka) and her husband, Bob (Garrett M. Brown), have to leave town for a family emergency, there is only one person available to babysit for their three kids: Bob's lazy, carefree brother, Buck (John Candy). While he immediately gets along with the two younger children (Gaby Hoffman, Macaulay Culkin), Buck must change his bachelor lifestyle if he wants to be a responsible caregiver for the angst-filled teenager, Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly)."

This is the guy who made terrible movies of video games and abused loopholes in German(?) tax law to get the money. Our something like that.
Considering how bad his films were, I don't understand why gaming companies willingly sold him the license for their titles.
