Now they are showing ‘More American Graffiti’ in all its original aspect ratios. There are like 4 different ones, each representing the time period. Pretty cool. I’ve never seen this movie in its original form. And it’s one of those movies I had forgotten even existed. [Reply]

That's a decent movie to revisit, thanks for the mention.
My memory of it is hazy. I think I just saw it once as a VHS rental in college.
Only recollections was it was more avant garde in its cinematography than the original, wasn't quite as good, and spent a good deal of time on the drag race dude going professional. [Reply]

I remember not liking it much as a kid. But after re watching it a few months back it was pretty good. It’s very avant garde. It jumps around different time periods and uses different film stocks and aspect ratios.
It spends equal amounts of time with Milner drag racing, Toad in Vietnam, Debbie in the hippie scene and Steve and Laurie conservative values vs anti-war protesters scene.

It’s worth a watch.
I should clarify, when I say not as good as the original, I view the original as a bona fide classic. [Reply]
Over a year later and the only 4K content is their one WB movie at a time and Justice League. I’ve actually liked the service overall but seriously how are they so far behind standard tech this far from rollout. [Reply]
Warner Bros. will produce 10 or more movies exclusively for HBO Max in 2022, says WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar. He declared that “motion pictures matter and will continue to matter.” https://t.co/oLk0U17xqj

The app sucks, the lack of 4K is an abomination and the fact that their catalog is spread over multiple licensing deals means there’s no One Stop for watching WB properties.
Watched The Empty Man last night. Really enjoyed it, and it mostly takes place in Missouri. St Louis, Chain of Rocks Bridge, Madison County, Webster Mills. One of the better horror/supernatural movies I’ve seen lately. [Reply]
