Seriously. I was in the 9th grade when that movie came out and the next Monday all these girls were like, 'yeah, we saw his weiner haha we saw it.' And I was like...hmm--tell me more. Then the same thing happened when The Blue Lagoon came out a few months later. I wasn't allowed to see R-rated...
I think that male nude scene caused a stir back in the day. Because if you think about it, there's really not much else going on in this movie. The murder subplot wasn't exactly action-packed. But I literally remember people going on and on about that 2-second shot of Richard's gear.
Watched Neverending Story blu yesterday. Not sure but I think it's a 2013 release. I was thinking about its 4k potential but I dunno...it's loaded with dense process shots and all those swirling smoke effects. Might look worse in 4k. This old blu itself looks pretty good though.
Hear hear. She was just trying to get attention for herself. If anything, the endless internet pundits of Youtube today are 10X worse than the Pauline Kaels of this world. And that's all they want--clicks.
I have the big blu-ray set from ages ago. Personally I would love to see the first movie on 4k. It's a time-honored classic and deserves the royal treatment. But the rest are just...sequels. And don't have a lot of replay-ability for me, and sounds like a lot of other forum members.
We'll see...
