I've been watching silent films and documentaries lately and the rest are 4ks I've been waiting to buy.

I can't upload pictures to lemmy.world. I wonder what's going on.

It's available online at the internet archive if you want to see it before you buy it. It's a beautiful, visually inventive movie. The story is heavy handed propaganda which I don't mind personally.

I haven't seen the other movie by the same director, The Cranes Are Flying, except for a clip of the famous long shot shared on Reddit.

Arrow's The Warriors release for me. I also bought some Radiance box sets, Franco Nero and Dino Risi.

I didn't know they released Nightmare Alley. That pairs nicely with Freaks for a Carny double feature.

Mel Brooks' style of humor can definitely get corny sometimes. Spaceballs is better depending on how much of a Star Wars fan you are. I think Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles gets the humor mixture better.

Apu Trilogy 4K

Trainspotting 4K

Blood Simple 4K

Lone Star 4K

Chantal Akerman Masterpieces, 1968–1978 Blu-ray boxset

Mudbound Blu-ray

They still haven't fixed the Lemmy bug that can't handle "and" in post titles.

Look up a free program called Handbrake. It converts video files to mkv, mp4, and webM. It also handles subtitles. If you need mpeg only then this person's setup is too old. You can check wikiHow to convert files to mpeg.

I second the recommendation to get a media box or a cheap bluray player that has a usb slot. Burning dvds will be a pain in the ass because you have to manage file sizes, take time to burn the dvds, and you will end up with useless piles of plastic discs when you're done. Sharing one or two usb drives is much easier.

It's a licensing issue from what I've read. Shout Factory already has released it in 4k. MGM has the license to the first one while the rest are by another studio.

Thanks for the news. I need to check out Blast of Silence it seems.
