2024 October Challenge Discussion Thread

[Tiggnutz]

Waking up to Gargoyles, another fave TV movie from back in the day.

That scared me when I was little

[Reign in Blood]

Really sad assortment of films to see in theaters this October. I say this every year.

Least you had Terrifier 3

I'm saying First Omen could of been released in October there wouldn't have been much competition and I think it makes more money. I should have a new horror film every weekend in October

Agreed. But I can see the new business model some have, like Beetlejuice was smart. They released and cleaned up in theaters in September, now released to rent/buy on streaming for Halloween.

Buying on streaming is glorified renting.

It actually is. I have to say, I thought if you bought the movie, you could download it to your computer and do what you want with it, rip it to disc or flash drive etc. Guess they fuck you out of that too unless you're a hacker. It does have to be played in certain apps in certain ways or some such shit. Yet another reason I'll just keep sailing the open seas here, argh!

How do digital codes work? It's the same thing right? You download the code onto a library that you really don't have control over and aren't able to download it freely?

I've given hundreds upon hundreds away.

Never used em myself either, always pop in the DVD. Although I might use codes now, as most new computers no longer have Disc Drives, my new one is SSD and has USB shit only, main thing I didn't like.

yeah, you put it onto a digital library of other movies you might have that way. if you don't like buying digital, you won't like digital codes any better.

If you have already bought the physical media than why not use the code it came with as another way to access it. I will no longer buy digital movies but I will utilize the code I get when I buy physical media

[Jason]

I give my digitals away like candy. Lol. MX was the recipient of a lot of great shit. He got the entire Bond Franchise and the complete series of Supernatural for example.

I asked in the chat years back who wanted them and he was the only one to respond.

That's how it used to be. Then they found out doing that makes it really easy to pirate. So yeah, I don't bother buying in the app anymore either ever since finding out they make them in-app only now.

Also Justin Long, so you're looking at a movie that's at least an 8/10.

New watch Oddity

Slow burn with a nice ending.

[zombie]

gruesome kills. so if nothing else, it will have that and ginger fitzgerald going for it.

[Jason]

Alien is an even slower burn than I remember.

Great imagery and effects though.

[Tiggnutz]

Going to do V/H/S/2 for a new watch

That list reminded me I've never seen that version of The Shining that I can remember

Reason #57 to not by prebuilt pc's. You could put a drive in, but it's more of a pain since it's a prebuilt.
