I guess despite clicking "play movie" I have to select each one individually when the previous part ends.

I already feel nervous watching it. I don't want to get 4 and a half hours into this fucking thing and the disc skips again. :p

Fudge. Only I didn't say fudge.
I fucking hate flip discs.
This one has two discs with no flip. But they crammed the entire movie on disc one. I genuinely think that is why the disc skipped. It just happened again for a quick second.

Probably

Mine is an older set, two discs, with parts 1 and 2 on one disc, 3 and 4 on the other, and hitting play with play both (on the disc, not all 4 parts) without interuption.

Vampyr if ya haven't seen it yet!
is that a modern silent?
No. Early 30s, I think. If ya ever watch it, don't during the day. Turn the lights out and make popcorn kind of movie.

Ah, there's another that looks more modern I guess. The 30's one claims it's unavailable.

I'm really thinking this movie doesn't need to be this long. A lot of shots just drag out and repeat.

I thought RAW was boring as all hell, and the gore was nothing to write home about, I guess just general cannibalism and biting on another person (or self) is enough to walk out and create hysteria. Meh. I got what they were going for from the more "artistic" realm, but no need to watch again.

I do remember the trailers acting like it was going to be extremely shocking, but as much as I dig it, it really wasn't shocking or extreme, lol.
