Sorry to hear about your wife losing her job. Hopefully, she finds another one with ease.

i noticed the additions to Shudder as well. That’s part of the reason I’ve held off on getting the set, as well. The completist in me wants all the extras and the shorts and whatnot. Frankly, though, I’ve been so busy that it would just sit in the pile with about forty other movies.

It was a rough few months, but she just started a new job last week, and she loves it. Thanks for the good thoughts, Sock Monkey! Somehow we managed to keep the lights on with just my salary, lol. (Can you tell that she makes more money than me?)
What you said was another reason I don't feel too bad about skipping the box set.....I have so many movies/box sets that I just never get around to watching. I have a twelve-year-old, and between dinner, dishwashing, homework, showers, and getting him squared away and in bed.....I'm usually ready to crash. I'm lucky if I can squeeze in a movie on the weekend, and then I usually try to find something my wife would enjoy watching with me. (She sure ain't gonna enjoy anything that I have in my chest of DVDs and Blu-rays, lol.)

I REALLY wanted that box set, but after my wife lost her job, that went right out the window, lol. They actually have a lot of the box's content on Shudder, which eased the pain of missing out a little.

I just saw this post and wanted to chime in on the Al Adamson documentary. I also watched this a little bit ago and thought it was really interesting. It's an interesting look at not only the life and tragedies of Mr. Adamson, but it also an fascinating look at low-budget regional filmmaking.

I've been chomping at the bit to watch WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED as I've only heard good things about this exhaustive look into cinematic folk horror. Severin put this documentary out in a box set of 19 (!) other folk horror movies called ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS, which I desperately want to pick up, but it is rather pricey at around $179.

My wife and I took our son to see THE BATMAN on opening day. We used to go to the movies every week pre-pandemic. We've been to the theater 4 times since Covid hit.

I did not like this film at all. I thought Pattinson was a whiny dud, The Riddler was a generic serial killer, the cameo at the end should have been exciting, but just fizzled. I have no desire to see any more from this Director and cast. Also, it did not need to be as long as Lawrence of Arabia, lol.

As much as I love going to the movies, between the ticket price, gas prices, and the way that people act like assholes during movies (We had a TERRIBLE experience during The Batman, which I am better off not getting into here...), I think I'll do the majority of my movie-watching at home from now on. We're planning on seeing Dr. Strange and Thor this year, but the assholes have won. I'm beat. They can have the theaters. Which makes me very sad.

I used my anniversary time off from work and we caught The Batman on Wednesday.

Tangent - I used to belong to Cinemark's Movie Club - $10 a month, "free" ticket and canceled because we aren't going to the movies like we used to (pandemic for one, lack of content for another) so I had 13 credits available to me. Hated the fact I was still charged on-line fees to "buy" a ticket with my credits. Total scam IMHO.

Anyways, we saw The Batman.

I've always been a Marvel fan - even when I started reading comics in 1985/1986, Marvel was where I was at (Make Mine Marvel!) and have enjoyed the Marvel movies much more than the DC ones.

Still trying to figure out my thoughts on this. I"m not sure it needed to be three hours long, but I did enjoy the focus more on Batman being a detective (hello Detective Comics!) My wife said it felt like a long TV show but maybe that's because TV shows have gotten better the last 10 years or so.
