ended up watching this youtube video a little while ago, the caps convinced me that it was going to be bad and stupid but he makes a decent argument and it contains a nice history of little shop of horror endings

Why the THEATRICAL Ending of Little Shop of Horrors is SUPERIOR

i'll take your word for it because i'm not reading all those links. but if it doesn't reveal real world name / address etc it's not doxing

dox have to contain personal / private info. this is just public internet usernames

she can be funny and still maintain tension which seems like quite a skill. revenge was great so looking forward to this

her short 'the telegram' is on vimeo but you need an account: https://vimeo.com/45183427

resurrection can already be watched as a romantic comedy. will the manic pixie fembot finally get together with the alien powered clone?

do people just say dvd to mean any physical disc? i get it if so, just have never personally heard it

blu rays still come out with some good extras, commentaries, making ofs, interviews and stuff but i guess it's more niche releases. often with books, posters, art cards as well. in the uk i have some nice ones from:

arrow, 88 films, 101 films, eureka, second sight, bfi, shameless films

haven't got much from overseas but had some region free luck from north american vendors vinegar syndrome, severin, raven banner, and umbrella entertainment from australia (also region b)

would welcome recommendations for similar labels if you have them

i think largely because it's called 'the crow' rather than 'the crow: straight to video' or similar colon title. none of the sequels or spinoffs or whatever they were affected the cult following of the original film/books because nobody gave a shit if they'd even heard of them in the first place, curiosities at best. this one has some real money/clout behind it and is consequentially more disruptive

if you remade a clockwork orange with alex as a fan of my chemical romance instead of beethoven nobody would be convinced by your 'it's a new interpretation of the book' defence either

that said i read somewhere that the trailer music isn't the same as the actual soundtrack. so maybe it mightn't be that bad. but he still looks like an emo twink joker

the illusion of privacy

i am from the post usenet and pre facebook internet generation (i hope that is vague enough) so using my real name on the internet or signing up for accounts with my real name email acount is strictly verboten by indoctrination, so my opinion may be out of date or invalid somehow, but i can not see how your lemmy account's up or down voting history violates privacy in any meaningful way

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

that's kind of the point, other instances are already aggregating and rating your votes given and received, why shouldn't lemmy show this to you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

it seems from a very brief search that likes and dislikes (see link below, i assume they translate to up and down votes) are the extent of what is available so a more nuanced slashdot or steam review type rating is unlikely to be viable.

in any case the ability to upvote and downvote feels like a core differentiating feature to this kind of forum and inbetween measures are unsatisfactory. upvote and downvote anything you like, and everyone can see you doing so, would be an improvement imo on the current implementation.

at least it may be possible in a future version to allow or disallow voting behaviours on a community rather than instance basis?

it's a bit slippery slopey but yes i suppose so. if your downvoting sprees amount to being abusive as the admins or mods define it then on their terms your account should be banned, ip banned, whatever. i don't think there's any voting based behaviour that gets you in irl trouble, obviously posts inciting violence, sending credible threats or other behaviour that gets you noticed by your regional authorities is another kettle of fish, but none of that seems relevant to up/downvotes being visible

Freaked is a 1993 American comedy film directed by Tom Stern and Alex Winter

Originally conceived as a low-budget horror film featuring the band Butthole Surfers, Freaked went through a number of rewrites, eventually developing into a black comedy

Great physical effects, slapstick nonsense, and a lot of genuinely funny scenes. Spot the uncredited Keanu Reeves cameo
