It was on my list because of the soundtrack, so when I didn’t hear the iconic track at all during the movie I looked it up.
Turns out that there is a re-scored version with a completely different soundtrack, and that was the version we got…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04p5k25
. Featuring an exclusive new soundtrack curated by Zane Lowe.
I will be watching this movie again next weekend, with the proper soundtrack
I watched the first half of “Nightcrawler” before I questioned why Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t have a German accent and the X-Men where nowhere in sight.
You should go ahead and watch the second half. It’s a good movie.
what’s the point if he can’t teleport through a hell dimension
Is that canon? I thought that was from the 2000s cartoon
I’ve definitely read it before; I don’t remember what series but it was highly probably the rebooted X-Men series (that largely became what the 90s cartoon was based on)…
But don’t ask me about recent canon. What’s “canon” is always shaky because the series has been running forever so anything and everything has been canon and retconned at some point. To me, Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch are Magneto’s children, Rogue has Ms Marvel powers, and there are 151 Pokemon. I’m old.
Hear, hear! (I’m old too)
There’s also the Nicolas Cage classic The Wicker Man. A version exists without his “Not the bees!” scene and let me tell you, that’s a disappointment.
The original is a stone cold classic. The remake, not so much.
I tried watching some armageddon type movie (not the Armageddon movie) and was quite a ways in until I realized it was some Christian knockoff.
Me and my friend watched the same movie remotely. They were watching “into the wild”, I was watching “No county for old men”. I understood I was on the wrong one when they commented about the great soundtrack, since the second one has no music ;D definitely after thee first quarter, probably after half. By chance they were talking about the van in the scene where there’s a van smuggling drugs so I did not notice
That’s a bummer. It’s like watching Legend without the Tangerine Dream soundtrack, much as I adore the compositions of Jerry Goldsmith. Doesn’t help that there’s 4 or so versions, including Ridley Scott’s overly self indulgent director’s cut at nearly 2 hours.
When I was a kid, I downloaded Grand Theft Auto from g’nutella (kazzah). To avoid fakes, I usually downloaded the biggest version.
Well the reason this one was bigger than the rest was because there was a video file buried somewhere in the game’s directory structure. The video was Debbie Does Dallas, the next generation.
Besides that one time I pressed ‘play’ before ‘eject’ on the VCR and stumbled on my Dad’s porn, that was the first time I watched porn. And I watched it a lot. It taught me that promiscuous sex in college stairwells is normal and that most college women dont wear panties under thier short skirts.
Its one of the reasons I strongly believe that we need to teach kids about consent and sexual norms at a very young age. Otherwise they learn fucked up things from pornos.
Some of the first porn I ever saw was some amateur porn sharing galleries someone linked me to on AIM. Lots of normal people having normal sex. I am somewhat thankful I was introduced to porn this way, rather than some sort of hardcore S&M shit. It was nice looking at something somewhat realistic. Like I had an idea that I would have a chance to do these things someday (spoiler: I would).
Yeah for some reason Stremio glitched once and played totally the wrong movie. I can’t remember what I was trying to watch, but it ended up being about some weird US-Russian war from the folks on the ISS.I
I didn’t realize what was going on until 75% of the way in
Could it have been the movie version of Eon by Greg Bear? Haven’t seen the movie, but sounds very similar to the book.
Side note: it took me like 6 years and a lot more reading before ran into Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke and realized that Eon was…heavily inspired by that book.
Me and my friend watched about 80% of some strange back to the future animated movie, after spending a week in Amsterdam. Then it suddenly clicked, we had been watching all the cut scenes from there back to the future video game, put together as a movie.
I stumbled on a Harry Potter book that was leaked early. Read the entire thing, several hundred pages.
The actual book came out and it was completely different. I had read a fan-fiction.
Could never get back into the series as I had a ton of false memories from that book.
Yeah same for me! I think I realized when it got sexual
Was it the “leaked” version of the Half Blood Prince? If so, a girl I was interested in sent that to me saying that her aunts friend worked for the publisher and I couldn’t show anyone or else they’d all go to jail. I was in high school so of course my mom was suspicious when I was spending hours reading something on the computer, so she made me tell her what it was, and I remember crying and begging her not to tell anyone that this girl I wanted to bang had sent it to me haha
Yes! That was it. Didn’t even get me laid.
Thanks for confirming that it wasn’t just a bad dream though! Do you still have your copy?
Just searched my email and found the 659 page pdf! Turns out it was actually the Deathly Hallows, it’s funny how things from 2007 are so hazy.
Edit: if you’re interested: https://send.vis.ee/download/27db692ca15bba86/#ar2iQDj3vvrB1yfjvXm1DQ
link is dead
If you can please look if its archived already and if not upload it to archive.org
Assuming it has no copyright/license it should be alright.Why would it being fan fiction mean it’s not copyrighted?
Assuming it has no copyright or license
Alsofixed my wording
Wow I wish I had enough passion to write 659 pages of anything! I’m glad you’ve archived this important piece of history.
I watched full metal jacket waiting to see the boats and the crazy dude by the cave . Tunes out that was apocalipae now…
That’s Noah.
Crash. In high school my buddy brought out all the weird horror and b-movies he could find, including crash, a movie about people who get busy after dangerous or injurious automobile incidents. Cut to a few years later, when my friend’s parents are telling me a how they thought crash was so powerful and everyone should see it, and how it was nominated for a bunch of oscars, I was completely perplexed.
I thought you were talking about this movie
Crash is a 1996 Canadian erotic thriller film[5] written, produced and directed by David Cronenberg, based on J. G. Ballard’s 1973 novel of the same name. Starring James Spader, Deborah Kara Unger, Elias Koteas, Holly Hunter and Rosanna Arquette, it follows a film producer who, after surviving a car crash, becomes involved with a group of symphorophiliacs who are aroused by car crashes and tries to rekindle his sexual relationship with his wife.
A group of strangers in Los Angeles grapple with issues of race, class, family and gender in the aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks in New York.
The fact that caught ny eye is that the 1996 movie gas the score by Howard Shore.
That’s what caught your eye? Not that it’s a 1996 film that happen to reference the “September 11 terror attacks in New York.”
I think the seperate paragraphs are meant to refer to the two moves of the name respectively.
That, or Cronenberg did 9/11.
Yup, I hoped it would be obvious. Alas
I confused Arrival with Annihilation. Both are good movies but I was wondering why I didn’t see any linguists
Just don’t confuse Arrival with The Arrival, a 1996 turdburger with Charlie Sheen.
I watched 90% of a movie with “narration” turned on, and thought that “this movie is really fucking annoying. Yes, I see that the actor just did that, you don’t need to tell me.”
I never thought it happened to anyone else! Happened to me in Montreal few years ago.
Went to the Bell centre to watch the Habs, get drunk, and then back at the hotel, Apollo 13 was on tv. Classic Tom hanks movie so I had to watch the Whole thing.
It had narration mode turned on…. In French. The most confusing movie I’ve ever watched. And I’ve seen Apollo 13 a dozen times.
Unless you’re a baker, you should watch it one more time.
Yup. Before Drive was officially released there was a pirated “screener” copy online with a different, and in my opinion better, soundtrack. It enhanced the movie in a more effective way than what we got in the official release. Especially the elevator scene.
Watched the movie again when it officially came out and went “wait a minute, this isn’t right”.
Not even sure if the screener copy is still available anywhere.
There’s a version of Morrissey’s Irish Blood, English Heart that hit the radios before it was released, and it was waay better than what we actually got:
no weird comical sound effects, cleaner sound, the high guitar could be heard way better, and the ending riff was a harmonious one, not some eclectic free-for-all.
After years of believing I had hallucinated/mandela’d the whole thing, I finally found it:
