Hollywood doesn't seem to be very good at balancing action comedies these days. For example the 2nd and 3rd Bad Boys movies were considerably more serious than the first film.

Some of the extended sex scene is pretty funny, but I'm not sure that it's a major loss. I think the projectile vomiting scene also runs longer - which isn't much of a bonus.

I am not as sure about today's hot toy properties ("hot" being relative - I don't think toy sales are nearly as big today since kids spend so much time on video games), but in the 70s-90s many toy lines had story lines developed for them in one way or another - usually via a cartoon series...

Transformers, GI Joe and Battleship already tried this (probably a few others too). Transformers was the only big moneymaker, and the franchise has run out of steam. About a decade ago Hasbro announced they would create a cinematic multiverse integrating multiple 70s/80s toy lines they own...

Why for 100 days? Were there 100 different cup designs? Or did you get points for Star Wars merch or something?

Wonder if they'll adapt as a comedy again, or a serious mystery, or maybe include a thriller/horror twist. Can't see how it would work as a TV series.

That's true. I just thought they might stand out even more in 4K.

Hmm... very interesting indeed. Going beyond Peanuts specials, I wish someone would make clean versions of background music available for a wide range of 60s-80s TV series.

Wonder how obvious the puppet strings are in 4K.

I was living in Japan at the time, where Pepsi attached custom bottle caps (each in the shape of a classic or Episode 1 character) in little packages (so you couldn't see inside) to Pepsi bottles. I spent my evenings prowling one convenience store after another and buying up obscene amounts of...

I've got it! We just need to get all films re-released on laserdisc! (or VHS?) Then the vinyl crowd will swoop in to buy The Godfather, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Back to the Future, Psycho, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus, etc. and frame them on their walls.

Is that true? I would have guessed that the vinyl crowd leans more toward millennials than Generation Z.

Heck, where's the rest of Knot's Landing for that matter? Don't really care about the end of the run, but at least would be nice to have the rest of the 80s seasons.

Thanks! Will get it when there's a decent sale.

Is it really that different? If we're talking a brand new 18-year-old collector, then there is a ton of titles to choose from that they have never experienced before, regardless of whether their preference is music or movies/TV. I think the real question is how many new 18-year-old physical...

Good advice for Big Foot.

You're not saying that U.S. market revenue for vinyl is higher than all video physical media, are you? That would blow my mind. Concerning buying movie discs as art objects... isn't that what steelbooks are all about? There seem to be a lot of collectors pursuing them. I don't consider the...

Do you have Andy Griffith on Blu-ray? Been eyeing that for a while. I have all of those others except Twilight Zone (a little too bleak for me).

Thanks! As said, it sounds like it's more of an event for vinyl collectors than for general music fans. Which seems odd to me - you'd think independent stores would want to draw in every customer they can get. Maybe 90% of their sales are vinyl these days. To be honest, I still need to pick up...

It strikes me that Linda Evans would have looked a heck of a lot better if she had dropped that bland early 80s hairstyle she seemed so stuck on.

What do people line up for? I just took a look at the Record Store Day website, and it was not clear to me what kinds of wonders await one at their local store. Is it like Free Comic Book Day and there are giveaways and discounts? I'd be more interested in CDs than records in any event.

Huh, I guess I didn't watch that many episodes then. Only saw B&W episodes, and as far as I can recall, they were focused on battling generic gangsters in and around Metropolis. Usually involving Lois or someone else getting kidnapped and needing rescue.

I thought he was a lower tier late night host. Boggles the mind that he could have enough cash to buy Paramount.

Hmm... This is starting to look less Mad Max and more Conan the Barbarian. I feel a Mad Max film should have cars/trucks prominently featured in the poster.

Wow, what a view. Kind of wish I had trespassed there on my Hawaii trip. I kid. Shame it will be removed.

If Amazon were to drop out also it would really be the end of the line. I'd assume that would be a major disincentive for the big studios to produce new physical media.

I didn't know Superman had overseas adventures on the show (Africa?). Seemed like he was usually somewhere around Metropolis.

Though not CBS, Rockford Files had teasers I believe.

Paging John Connor...

The DVD and bluray communities on Reddit are strangely resistant to this truth. If anyone dares suggests that the health of the physical media market may be in decline, they will be downvoted into oblivion amidst a chorus echoing "But look at all the boutique label releases!"
