After this coming sleep, i shall put streaming on hold to behold Sigourney Weaver in HD [I Want To Write My Random Thoughts And Feelings]
I've had the first 2 Alien movies on dvd for a long time, but this will be something entirely new, i will be able to really see it. I envision the first with the volume low, and then as the sun rises and it is ok to be louder the action packed sequel may be employed in a devastating high volume.
General thoughts on Blu-ray:
● There is much in the supplemental department, commentaries, interviews, featurettes
● Fellini ● Bergman ● Varda - beautiful comprehensive luxuriant sets of these beloved directors, there to enjoy at any time, my hiatus from arthouse doesn't have to apply anymore, there is nothing i can't enjoy, the thing about these films is that for the most part, real settings aren't the focus, and neither is a sense of time. Also often there is a decadent use of storytelling technique that breaks norms, from 2005 to around 2012 i enthusiastically preferred this as the superior way ambivalent to "hollywood", but now these artistic liberties that diverge from narrative normality can lack that intoxicating effect they used to have. This is something i must cope with by meditating on the following - a) they were expensive, b) they're more than just movies c) they're film equivalents to great pieces of art and d) the supplements really do enrich your appreciation.
● Terminator ● Alien ● Mission:Impossible - with the exception of the 3rd franchise from what i've gathered the best parts are the first 2's of them. When the latter sequels are watched, be firm in the mind to have low expectations in order to perhaps be pleasantly surprised.
● As a Blu-ray is played, compare it with streaming, appreciate the huge step up in quality, and the bigger screen, combine that also with the ear fatigue you get from overuse of headphones whilst streaming, and again - bask in the bountiful supplements.
Shall get ready for sleep, love you all, love you women, hope you're having an awesome day, and that your family and friends are treating you with the utmost respect and slavish devotion you heavenly divine creatures deserve, the world would suck the big one without you dear ladies.
