[Meme] Which movie was this for you? in c/movies@lemm.ee

[-] ToasterOverlord@feddit.uk 6 points 3 hours ago

Kangaroo Jack (2003) for me. It's not objectively good but I found it silly and fun, and it's one of my dad's favorite movies. Never really understood why it's so panned (9% critic and 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes)

Criterion’s 24-hour sale slashes 50% off every Blu-ray in c/homevideo@feddit.uk

Ah, I missed it again! And just by a few hours. Is there some kind of mailing list or something to sign up for to find out when this happens? Since I gave up Reddit and YouTube I am way out of the loop on these things. Would have picked up several titles too, since it's been a couple years...

This year's 50% off B&N Summer sale runs through July 28.

I missed Criterion's flash sale earlier this year so I'll probably stock up on this one sometime next week.

Just tuning in now, good Lord this weather is atrocious.

Thanks for creating this post, btw. I tried to make a gameday thread before I went out this morning but it didn't go through in the browser. Wonder if the new Lemmy update is causing that glitch

Edit: woops, wrong account. It's so easy to get mixed up on mobile. Aaand it won't let me switch so I guess I'll be posting from here

Noooooooooo

Criterion flash sale has started. 50% off at their website for 24hrs in c/homevideo@feddit.uk

[-] ToasterOverlord@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

I hadn't taken part in the flash sale for a couple years (and I skipped the last B&N sale), so I went a little big on this one. Ordered:

The Lady Vanishes (1938)
Young Mr. Lincoln (1939)
His Girl Friday (1940)
Some Like It Hot (1959)
Fail Safe (1964)

[Weekly thread] What is the best movie you watched last week? 15 October in c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film

[-] ToasterOverlord@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

I watched four films this week, all of which I'd seen before (so clearly I quite like them all):

It Happened One Night (1934)
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
Foreign Correspondent (1940)
21 Jump Street (2012)

Really tough to choose one, but would probably have to give the nod to Mr Smith. Jimmy Stewart is just too good.

Red River was complete trash?

Greed has proven to be a more effectively harmful force against humanity than hatred. We should have greed crimes in addition to hate crimes. in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

[-] ToasterOverlord@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Greed has often been described as equally evil to hate. As Robert Frost put it:

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.
