Congrats, MM. Close to wrapping it up, or do you think it could go another 40,000?

I finished up the original MACROSS the other day. It was... It was an experience. It had it's moments when I truly relived some of the excitement of watching ROBOTECH as a kid, but in the original Japanese there are some just odd to me elements that didn't translate well to my American sensibilities and that's with me I think granting it being a product of it's time. But a lot of the character work and plots/themes feel very under cooked. Much like my feelings for GATCHAMAN I think the appeal of the series comes down to the wonderful aesthetics and visuals but not that there's a coherent and truly interesting or engaging story going on. If a live action Hollywood version ever actually sees the light of day I suspect that it would retain the look and feel of MACROSS on a level of scope and production design but it just couldn't mirror the characters and themes too closely or else come off rather goofy and ill thought out.

I wish Best Buy was open I want my IW Blu Ray!!

Big milestone for me tonight: Crossed 40,000 words on my novel. I've never written that much before, on a single project.

That's neat. I hope it's a great story.

All 3 of my Avengers steelbooks are waiting for me at Best Buy for pick-up after work

I cannot wait to score these. I don't think I will upgrade every MCU film to 4K (I am not reconverting my collection from Blu Ray to 4k after mostly converting from DVD to Blu Ray), but these Steelbooks are just that awesome. Also the Avengers films are special to me, so I will make the exception for them. But I am not re-buying the 11 films I would need to re-buy to reconvert them all.

I will just have to get Avengers 4 as a steelbook next year to make sure my editions for them match, LOL!

Pretty sure another 40,000, since I'm just getting to the midpoint

Oh, mine don't get here for another 3 weeks!

I'm spot-converting to 4K. Just my favourite old films that I rewatch a lot and new films. Not everything.

I would maybe convert some of my like absolute favorite ones, like the Avengers and such. But that would be about it. But for new things I buy, I snag the 4K.

How do you spot-convert to 4k? Is there a program to download?

Not entirely sure how Stokes wasn't found guilty, but oh to be rich & famous, and be able to afford a wonderful lawyer and have the 'oh I'm famous, let me off or pay a fine only' option.

 

[Pink Ranger]

My Infinity War 4k is waiting for me at Best Buy after work! Haven't bought a "day of" release since Life of Pi.

Why talk about back pain to a dentist?

Uh, Aziz.....you do know that SPINAL TAP is a 1984 movie starring and directed by Rob Reiner and not just a reference to a medical procedure done on the back?

I saw a poster for the band before asking that question.

I doubt anyone here knows who Stokes is lol.

You know there’s a cricket thread btw if you’re interested. Getting very quiet in there recently even though there’s a lot going on.

Sorry, that’s not an official term or anything and I guess it could have been misleading. I just made it up to describe what I’m doing - picking and choosing which blu-ray films to get on 4K disc, rather than replacing my whole collection which I’ve done in the past for VHS to DVD to blu-ray. So no official physical converting going on lol.

Pretty much same here, which fits with me buying less films in general now. I used to buy a lot more films but after a couple of decades it became clear I was only rewatching a small proportion of them. So I only buy films I know I will rewatch many times now, even if that means not buying a bunch of good films. And with Netflix and On Demand with cable it’s easy to watch all the other films I want to see when I want to.

I was wondering who he was talking about.

I don't even have a Full HD...

Ah, gotcha.

Yeah I'm going to likely just upgrade the main movies I really enjoy. All of the Avengers and Captain America movies are a must.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I may also upgrade the Captain America movies once those come too

Godspeed.

winter soldier should be awesome in 4k

Civil War as well. I really wish the 4K thing started with that one, LOL! Cause I do have the Best Buy steelbook for Civil War, and it is one of my favorite MCU covers I have.
