The most popular reviews in /r/blankies:
It's the oldest movie they've ever covered since they started doing the box office game, so it was the first time Box Office Mojo didn't have a weekend chart. Demme will be interesting, because he has six movies that predate BOM's weekend charts. I'd recommend an investment in this: https://www.amazon.com/Weekly-Box-Office-Charts-1970s-ebook/dp/B071GPPSGR
I decided to listen to this again this afternoon while making lunch for myself, and ended up making a Letterboxd list of every movie that gets more than a few seconds of discussion: https://letterboxd.com/jboehle90/list/every-movie-discussed-for-more-than-5-seconds/
I've heard rumblings of other stuff consistent with this but nothing detailed or concrete, but this is the one thing that we know explicitly and got any press traction:
I've also heard murmurs about on-set behavior similar to the Trank on F4 rumors but again I have nothing to verify with that.
Someone remembered!
I finished the edit I wanted to make and am pretty proud and happy with it. It really hammers home how cool the editing is in a scene like the Dojo to cut to Cypher's reaction when Neo is knocked down.
I shared it with a few people here to get feedback. Was really only holding off trying to tweak rendering settings (and waiting on a battery replacement) to get the best result. But at this point I think I will just release what I have and publish the DaVinci file for someone to take further if they can as I think I've reached the limit of my knowledge on video compression.
In celebration of the trailer here it is (expires in 24 hours): https://www.filemail.com/d/vftkjpupmiknwrr
If you want the full 17GB render just DM me.
I've personally never seen it, but I have read a book about the making and marketing of it (John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood). The book itself is quite fascinating as well since it was written by a guy who's a John Carter fan who tried to help the marketing department but was ignored, so there's this big grain of salt to whatever he says about how the marketing of the film was handled.
The biggest takeaway on Stanton's direction is how he seemed to try following the Pixar model of making and remaking the film multiple times until they get it right with reshoots, which might work in animation, but is not very common in live action.
Lennon and Garant’s Writing Movies for fun and Profit has tons of this info, it’s really interesting. I got it for 50 cents on Amazon used last week.
Note: there are a handful of lines in the book that make it clear it was written pre-metoo. Nothing terrible, but there were a few moments I thought “geez guys you can do better” when talking about attractive women. I suppose the “geez guys” comment is also applicable to some of their movies, but that part I knew before reading the book.

I kept a clone up to date on https://letterboxd.com/jwestberg/list/films-covered-on-the-blank-check-podcast/ that I shared on here a while back fwiw
I added the first Jack Reacher, but otherwise I think they are identical. They go through the plot of both movies in that episode.

I do not own it so can't confirm, but it looks like the UK bluray is the theatrical cut and is region. Here's the amazon link
Studio DVD is $10 on Amazon, but wow yeah it is not available for digital rental. I thought maybe that was a Beatles thing, but Janus does have A Hard Day's Night on iTunes/Amazon, so I have no clue
I dug into the novel/film paradigm a little in my letterboxd review, should you feel inclined to check that out, though it's not cohesive; basically just jotted phone-notes, peters out toward the end.
It doesn't look like I'm going to have the chance to write a full post, at least not with the time and attention it deserves, before the ep drops on Sunday. I may jump into the official thread with some of this material next week.

I feel so bad having The First Avenger so low since that movie rules but it's really just a testament to how much I love all the others. Really, the bottom 3 are the only ones I'm fine with never seeing again.
Strange Days

Letterboxd Link. I had only seen ZDT and Detroit before this series and I'm so glad that they covered Bigelow. Strange Days immediately became an all-time fav, and I really liked/loved many of the others. Excited for what's next!
That's fine and all but holy shit I'm so in love that David loves Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I wanna hear him talk about it so bad!

Not the best interface, but a ton of content.
Picross is very soothing when I'm having anxiety. It gives my brain a problem to solve instead of fixating over problems that I can't control. It doesn't interfere with the language centers of my brain, so I can still hold a conversation or listen to a podcast.
It's comforting to know that I will never run out of puzzles. But if you're looking for quality over quantity, I'd recommend GameFox's games, like Eyes : Nonogram

The Ted vs. Flash Gordon Box Set comes to mind. Yes, there's Flash Gordon references in the Ted movies and they're all Universal, but it's still weird to stick them all together in a set.
Hello, I'm a bot! The movie you linked is called Horse Soldiers, here are some Trailers
https://letterboxd.com/sgrade/
I'm planning on seeing it again as well. Spielberg's my favorite director so I was probably going to do that regardless, but I never thought the themes of the film would be why I wanted to see it again.
They could do a mini-series on one-and-dones, couldn't they? Going off of this Mubi list, my nominations are:
The Night Of The Hunter (Charles Laughton, 1955)
One-Eyed Jacks (Marlon Brando, 1961)
Roar (Noel Marshall, 1981)
Return To Oz (Walter Murch, 1985)
True Stories (David Byrne, 1986)
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (Tom Stoppard, 1990)
Quick Change (Bill Murray & Howard Franklin, 1990)
Nothing But Trouble (Dan Aykroyd, 1991)
A tight eight there, with plenty more vanity projects from the later decades.
WaPo critic Ann Hornaday wrote a book on this exact topic. It's very readable; far from a textbook.
There's a Great Courses series (book or audiobook) called "How to View and Appreciate Great Movies" but I don't know how it is.
I got a replaceable mop covers for my swiffer (similar to this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HVZ7QR8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_44QETDQ27PRM715SJDED?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) and it’s been great! Now if I can just find the energy to clean
It's on Amazon Video, but only to buy, not rent, and it's $10 for SD. They have a bunch of the other Altman 70s movies available to rent.
In before 1,000 people tell you "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three"
It's on Amazon Prime now, so if you haven't seen it, do it immediately.
My friend, what if I told you there was a better way?
My brother had that soundtrack, which got annoying because it was movie dialogue every other track.
Tarantino soundtracks used to do it.
And my dad has this Little Big Man soundtrack on vinyl, which might just be purely soundclips.
https://www.amazon.com/Little-Big-Man-John-Hammond/dp/B00166Q5WE
The closest we'll probably ever get is this Spanish Blu-Ray release. It's most likely a bootleg of an HDTV master which could only legally be released in Spain, but it has surprisingly good A/V (with English options) and gets the job done.
For pre-70s box office David has been using box office charts available for purchase on Amazon and they do go back to the 1920s.
I believe they are mostly sourced through issues of Variety but not sure if that's the case that far back or where they get that info.
He has some quotes where he says he is not a Soviet dissent, but that he could live his life and make his art as wished so he (my word, not his) fled to the West. I think most people would find that to be anti-Soviet, but his chose to reject the label does kind of complicate things.
During a time of official state atheism, he was a fairly serious Orthodox Christian. His films seem to have a real connection to the neoplatonism that is so significant in Orthodox Christian theology.
This is really good article on it in at least one of his films: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-Study-of-the-Film-‘‘Andrei-Rublyov’’%3A-from-the-of-Eun-Ын/9335e97af409a1deb62ae94a221e5d2a0213bddf
I am also a proponent for the European cut! I accidentally bought it and discovered that I too prefered the more streamlined cut. When people here how short it is, I think they think it's missing a lot more than it feels like it is.
Also it is available on blu ray in this box set, which, although labeled like a Region 2 disc, does play on Region 1. Perhaps you don't want to double dip but it's a great deal for all the films included.
This is the book by the way:
https://www.amazon.com/Enzo-Ferrari/dp/0241977169
It took me a long time to realize that the company was probably putting out like 500 cars a year. There's all this talk about the factory but essentially this was the stubborn opponent of Ford and Taylor as a production technique, like they sort of hand-built every car to some degree. These were "touring cars" and the only audience was rich fucks, and the racing team was really a way to promote the benefits of owning a Ferrari. I don't think people think of racing, or automobile production like that anymore.
Oh yeah the other thing that is a bit ghoulish is that they were constantly hiring these weird mavericks to be on the racing team and they kept dying all the time, it was just exceedingly dangerous and the people who raced the cars were a separate breed.
Obligatory physical media rules. This box has special features and commentaries for almost every single movie.

oh make no mistake, i’m obsessed with the insanity that is Steven Seagal (did you know that he suggested to the producers of Executive Decision that his character could have survived being sucked out of the plane and should return for a sequel?). I will watch everything he is in, and be baffled to the point of ecstatic revelation.
if you haven’t already, you should read Vern’s Seagalogy, an exhaustive piece of Seagal scholarship up through Steven Seagal: Lawman. A masterwork

There’s a book called EYES WIDE SHUT: STANLEY KUBRICK & THE MAKING OF HIS FINAL FILM, by Kolker & Abrams, & it’s an essential read for fans of that film.
Taschen released an amazing KUBRICK book called THE STANLEY KUBRICK ARCHIVES, a massive hardcover/coffee table book with amazing production art, photography, & a film by film biography/breakdown of his career. I found it at B&N for only $30 on clearance, but it normally goes for more than that:
There’s also a smaller version of the book, with all the same content:
I did a complete Kubrick watch-through during the early days of the pandemic, & that Taschen book in particular was a wonderful guide.
Only saw this poster yesterday, and I've seen the film before many times.
Gives the impression that the film is gonna be some kind of workplace comedy, like Office Space or something. I guess New Line didn't have much faith in the film reaching an audience, or rebranded it for home video?
So there’s a really good new book out, [Binge Times: Inside Hollywood's Furious Billion-Dollar Battle to Take Down Netflix](https://www.amazon.com/Binge-Times-Hollywoods-Furious-Billion-Dollar/dp/0062980009/ref=nodl?dplnkId=2f44520f-613e-46bc-bf55-0f6803974122)_, which covers the explosion of streaming services over the last few years (yes, there’s a chapter on David’s former endeavor involving quick bites).
The sections on Disney+ all cover the Iger-Chapek transition, and Chapek’s long career at Disney beforehand. He was head of home video in the 1990s, and yes, he was the one who got Disney to start making The Return of Jafar, The Lion King 2, The Hunchbak of Norte Dame 2, and a lot of other twos (and even some threes!) that boggle the mind.
It will cause you to get the weirdest stuff recommended to you on Amazon though, just FYI: Groker Plush
>1930s
I’ve seen that one. It’s a mix of some Blu-ray and some 4K releases I believe. I have this one:
Stanley Kubrick The Masterpiece Collection (BD) [Blu-ray] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M7F47F0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CRQTH27AE62NYP5KY7MT
It’s all Blu-ray. It’s missing Spartacus (I have a 4K release) and The Killing/ Paths of Glory (I have the criterion’s for these).
Speaking of Evil Dead research, way back in the early 2000s I got this book called the Evil Dead Companion that has a pretty good official accounting of things and nice coverage of Raimi's career at that time.
As the other reply you got said, there are now three large hardcover omnibuses that collect everything for you.
Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401282997/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_01XAMSNER9M39M3KVB9W.
If you don't want to jump right in and spend that much up front. You can start here: Batman: Batman and Son (New Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401244025/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_M36RXPBMAT3N0M9MXSMQ
The streaming data is pulled from JustWatch which I'm aware isn't perfect. For some reason most Star Wars films aren't showing as available on Disney+ in the US. I will refresh the data every week so hopefully they sort it.
The checklist is saved locally on your device, so will persist as long as you use the same browser to view it.
Let me know if your country isn’t supported and I will look at adding it.
Lol you even see remnants in some of the more popular films. Babe: Pig in the City has Michael randomly alongside other kids movies about animals and George Miller films.
Also seem like blankies are getting ready for the next series because I Wanna Hold Your Hand's recommendation page is literally all films covered by Blank Check.

TOY STORY 3 is better than 2 because it takes the idea of 2 and actually has the guts to go through with it. Seeing that at midnight in a packed house where everyone was the exact right age to appreciate that ending and audibly sob in unison was a theater experience that I don't think will ever be recreated.
You know what's fun is that they actually do have Toruk - The First Flight if you want to add that.
https://letterboxd.com/film/cirque-du-soleil-toruk-the-first-flight/
Also, I could have sworn that they used to have the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars series listed as one entity for a while, but maybe the Letterboxd admins removed it.
Also Karina Longworth is a guest on the latest Night Call, with Our Mother of Blankies Emily Yoshida.
As a counterpoint and case study in how the algorithms still have a long way to go to overtake humanity in certain regards, the Amazon description of Scream 2:
>Murders result from killer wearing mask.
If only I could be as good at writing movie descriptions as Dom Toretto is at the car.
Mondo Macabro a book about genre movies from around the world. I bought it for Christmas during college with money my grandpa gave me as gift, I remet him being very confused when I should him what he gifted me lol.
And TIL it's also a TV show?
It varies, depending on the director/film. For Carpenter, we were blessed with multiple long profiles of the films' productions in genre magazines like Starlog and Fangoria. With Singleton, everything was more all over the place, especially because we were just getting our footing. For someone like Campion, she's a celebrated filmmaker that's been the subject of multiple academic monographs, including a collected interviews book edited by Virginia Wexman, which has been indispensable as a starting point, especially because it features lengthy interviews translated from French publications like Positif.
I’m pulling directly from the mouth of David Prior, in his MUBI interview with Adam Nayman. https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/everything-zen-david-prior-on-the-empty-man-9701
> There's something fundamentally destructive about the post-modern project—something that’s intentionally destructive. The purpose is to take social norms and cultural institutions and break them down, redefine them and hollow them out, and sometimes that needs to happen, but if you're not replacing it with something else that's equally persuasive or fundamental or important or valuable or humane or true, then it's highly dangerous. Those are some of the ideas that I was wrestling with in the film; that what I see going on around me is a lot of destruction but not a lot of refortification with anything substantial.
This answer is discussing the sequence where James Badge Dale is handed a questionnaire by the evil cult with options like “nothing is binary, everything is fluid,” “a woman is just as likely to have a penis as a man is” “science is a tool of oppression,” which, yes it is, yes they can, and yes that’s true! A lot of that cult stuff reads like Lovecraftian bigotry dressed up in Peterson/Pinker rationalism, where Root’s sinister character explicitly rails against objectivity and “rational thought.” The film is supposed to act as a sort of prequel to the graphic novel, where an apocalypse of madness happens, so it gets hinted that the Pontifex Society is a doomsday cult looking to bring down the old bourgeois order of society, and of course burning down society can be rather desirable to both ends of the political spectrum, but here they’re in a text which also states over and over that collectivism fosters nothingness. Huh.

Tip: When buying from Amazon, choose "No rush shipping" (unless you need it right away). You'll get a $1 credit for digital rentals/purchases and the item will arrive earlier than estimated anyway. I've had "no rush" shipments show up the next day!
> It's directed by Academy Award Nominated Director of Important Films Alan Parker.
He was making high-profile movies for a good long time and then just...stopped? The Life of David Gale (2003) was a flop but not a colossal mega-bomb; I'm sure it eventually broke even on home video. But it apparently killed his career dead. He's still alive but pretty much forgotten today. (Seriously, his name doesn't help. It exits the brain immediately.)
Anyhow, I never saw this but it was on premium cable a lot in the mid-'90s. I'm sure all the nudity got some people to tune in.
And then it was erased from existence. Erased.
There's a great book chapter that I had to read for my New Queer Cinema class (of all things) that really clarified a lot about cinematography and how it affects you (a lot of it has to do with how the camera mimics and contrasts with actual human sight). Film Crit Hulk also had a nice little technical breakdown of the different kinds of shots and how they affect you.
There's another book that I haven't finished reading yet but which is part of a lot of film school curriculums that includes even more information on how shot composition and editing affect you called The Visual Story: Creating the Visual Structure of Film, TV and Digital Media. Highly recommend giving it a look.
Edgar Wright's top 1,000 is a good one. I believe it has roughly 10 films per year and is listed chronologically not best to worst.https://mubi.com/lists/edgar-wrights-favorite-movies

They've also said Vin's daughter will be in it. Fun fact: this tweet is apparently only the second time the words 'Similice Diesel' appear on the internet, according to Google, after this weird page on prezi.com: https://prezi.com/vrdoc9gb0n4l/vin-diesel/
Vin's a very private guy, and clearly good at it.
You might be aware of author Jonathan Lethem; he wrote the book Motherless Brooklyn, which Ed Norton adapted into a poorly received film a couple of years ago (alas). Lethem is a fantastic writer and was a peer of David Foster Wallace, and in fact took over Wallace's teaching position at Pomona College. Among his novels, he's written a fair amount of nonfiction and in 2010, wrote a concise (200 pages) analysis of John Carpenter's 1988 film They Live. It's not dry academic prose but explores the film as a living piece of culture, in context of the times and how it speaks across time with its themes of paranoia and propaganda.
It's a super readable and funny book (again, 200 pages) and I ended up buying another in Soft Skull's "Deep Focus" series (one on The Bad News Bears) because I enjoyed this one so much. I'm very much looking forward to the BC episode on this movie; I believe They Live is probably Carpenter's richest text.

They skipped the box office game, but for those curious, here's the Top 5 for the week of December 12th, 1979 when Star Trek: The Motion Picture came out:
1) Star Trek: The Motion Picture
2) 10
3) Apocalypse Now
4) And Justice For All
5) Starting Over
You can get ebooks with weekly top 10s going back to the 1920s!. They do not include weekly $ numbers, but there's a different book that does have totals for every movie that made some minimal amount of money
It's weirdly pricey on Amazon, but Toshio Suzuki's book <em>Mixing Work with Pleasure</em>, mostly about running Ghibli (and guiding / reigning in Miyazaki and Takahata), is probably the best overall behind-the-scenes history of the studio out there.
I unfortunately can’t speak to international, but here are the ones streaming in the US right now (Amazon Prime unless otherwise noted)
Streaming
Caged Heat
Crazy Mama
Stop Making Sense
Something Wild
Married to the Mob (Amazon/Hulu)
Philadelphia (Amazon/Netflix)

The Manchurian Candidate (HBO w/ subscription)
Rachel Getting Married (Netflix only)

*Digital Rental *
Citizens Band (Amazon), Swing Shift, Silence of the Lambs, Beloved, and Ricki and the Flash are available to rent digitally.
The Rest
This is where it gets a bit hairy. Fighting Mad, Melvin & Howard, and Swimming to Cambodia are only available on DVD and nowhere digitally.
Melvin & Howard is currently available on DVD on Amazon for $6.24 - not too much more than a digital rental. If you’re going to plunk down and make a purchase for Demme, this is probably a good one, as it is a crucial film in solidifying Demme’s empathetic style and won 2 Academy Awards.
https://www.amazon.com/Melvin-Howard-Jason-Robards/dp/B0000WN1NG
Not sure if you’re in the States, but Citizen’s Band is available for rental on Amazon
Melvin and Howard also available to purchase on DVD on Amazon for a little more than a digital rental would be. Of all the films not available digitally, I’d say it’s well worth the blind buy as it’s an early breakthrough for Demme and an excellent movie.
For Swimming to Cambodia, maybe if another library in the system has it, you could ask someone if an inter-library loan is possible. Last Embrace I luckily found at a video store that still remains near me, that one seems harder to find, but seems like one that could turn up somewhere the week leading up to the ep
I know a few podcasts/podcasters have been using this since quarantine
It’s not unreasonably expensive and the sound quality is pretty good.
I don't have it anymore but I once bought a DVD "box" that had Moulin Rouge and Garfield. No other movies. The one in the link is similar but mine were in the same case.
https://www.amazon.com/Moulin-Rouge-Garfield-Bi-pack-DVD/dp/B000BR0ZXY
Shout Factory's Collector's Edition of Mad Max on Blu-ray can be found for $5.99 at Amazon and Best Buy.
If you want to cheat the system, you can use Vudu's Disc to Digital system and get HDX copies of The Road Warrior, Beyond Thunderdome, and Fury Road for $2 each.
When I upgraded my television last year, the issue wasn’t with what television I was going to buy. The issue was with television stand I was going to buy. I knew the dimensions I needed to have everything fit in. The problem is most stands are too wide, too tall, and/or didn’t have practicality for audio hardware like sound bars. I looked at stores like Best Buy, IKEA, and local furniture retailers before searching for options online.
After weeks of throwing up some price trackers, I ended up lucking out and finding a great one that was previously returned on Amazon for $77. It was a pain in the ass to put together, but it looked solid once it was all setup.
I picked up this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Miami-Vice-Blu-ray-Region-Free/dp/B001DD0DCI/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=miami+vice+blu&qid=1560814337&s=gateway&sr=8-2

it does play on North American blu ray players
MY MAN!!
You can get the first volume for like $12 on Amazon (company that never did anything wrong)
Not sure how long the promo will run but Amazon currently has HD rentals of Beetlejuice for $0.99
I was in middle school when this came out. Times were different. The movie was heavily marketed towards kids despite being rated R. I had the entire trading card set. Alien 3 also had a set.
