I was thinking it might be cool to start a 'what have we been watching?' thread. Either on Laserdisc, or any other format I suppose.
I have quite a few LD's but sometimes struggle to choose what to watch. Thought if I read that one of you had just watched such-and-such, it might make me go, 'Hey, I've got the LD. I'll watch it as well.'
If anything, it would be interesting to hear what movies you guys are watching.
I'm not looking for detailed reviews or anything (though feel free), just a sentence or two.
Anyway I'll start-
As its coming up to Chrirstmas, I like to watch some good old fashioned Christmas movies. So the other night I chucked on a favourite- 'Scrooged' (pic) on LD(Japanese title is 'the 3 ghosts').
Absolutely love this movie and probably watch it every December.
The Laserdisc is a pretty old pressing and unfortunately not in widescreen, but the Dolby Surround track was pretty good.
I also opened up my sealed copy of Chasing Amy Criterion, that I just got recently, to listen to the Kevin Smith and gang commentary track.
Last week I watched the first side of 'The Hard Way' with Michael J Fox. Has a few laughs, especially the trailer for the fake movie 'Smoking Gunn 2' (youtube trailer)
Haven't got round to watching the second half yet though.
Not on Laserdisc but, I watched the new Jim Carry 'Christmas Carol' on Bluray. It was OK, but definitely no Scrooged.
Lastly and the surprise of the week, I watched 'Speed Racer' on BR. I had never seen this before as I thought it would be rubbish, but it was actually pretty good. Also, it is the best looking BR I have seen. The colors were SO bright
So what about you guys?
