Check out this snippet of classic William Friedkin savagery.

I never get shipped movies before the street date but this time I ordered direct from Severin Films and it arrived 32 days before I expected!

Sometimes I’m in the mood for bleak cinema, and THREADS definitely scratches that itch. Last time I watched it was in 720p so this should be a huge upgrade.

This sub just appeared in my feed so I figured I may as well jump in.

If I’ve read the rules and mission statement correctly, this is the kind of thing expected?

So, these are the most recent photos of my film shelves (I have a few dozen more shelves and units all over the house filled with books, CDs, video games and action figures, but these are the ones specifically for film/tv), taken about 6 months ago immediately after filing my last 6-12 months worth of new additions.

I’m too lazy to move everything along every single time I pick up a new title, so I let purchases build up for around 6-12 months and then take a day to file them all into their forever spot in the larger collection.

Anyway, I hope this fits with the subs purpose and you enjoy what you see.

Comments, praise, criticisms, jokes, trolling, upvotes and downvotes are all welcome. Thanks for reading. Physical Media Forever!

Love Joe Dante. This was a cable TV staple for me as a kid. So excited to revisit after what’s probably been over 20 years.
