Re: Ask LoathedVermin
I haven’t seen it yet! I’m excited, though. I LOVED Ang Lee’s last movie, and this is gonna be the first 4K Blu-ray since that movie that’s gonna be in 60fps. 2160p in HDR at 60fps... *drool*

I caught an episode my girlfriend was watching and the cinematography struck me. Something you don't see at least on network TV these days.

I grew up with Little House on the Prairie. When I watch it now I still really love the "light" episodes. The heavy melodramatic ones are impossible to get through. Primarily any episode with Mary once she starts to lose her sight.

Re: Ask LoathedVermin
Hmm...I would estimate like...85%? Ish? I’m not sure. I guess it would depend on how much I would have to watch before turning it off in order for it to count. I turn off plenty of stuff on streaming services within 5 minutes, but if I get beyond that or own something on disc, I usually finish it.BurtReynolds wrote:What percent of movies do you watch to completion?

ALIENS
I love them both, though (and Alien3 and AVP and Prometheus and Covenant)
