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
Was over someone's house and they wanted to watch a comedy. They were like, "We both like Robin Williams. This should be a funny movie.".
Jakob the Liar It was a movie set during WW2 Holocaust at a camp. Not very many laughs.....at all.
Actually, if you look at Robin Williams repertoire of films, he does a lot of very depressing movies. Like the ratio of funny movies to depressing movies is extraordinarily lopsided.
Off the top of my head, What Dreams May Come and One Hour Photo are two wildly different types of movie, both kinda bleak in their own way, and neither what you'd turn to if you wanted a Robin Williams comedy. To some extent World's Greatest Dad as well, though that one actually is pretty funny.
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.
I am not sure if this counts but my mom put on Alien for me on Hulu, and it had some weird cuts in it. Turns out I had Hulu w/ Live TV so it was probably a cable edit of the film.
I ended up giving it an 8/10 but I bet I would have rated it higher if the cuts weren't so strange. I'll need to buy it on 4K and watch it properly at some point.
Watched the boys season 2?
Title
Where Kimiko meets her brother
Having a full conversation in thier language and no subtitles. "Ok. We are not meant to know they are saying because mystery/suspence". Untill they started crying. "Ok. Lets go back now..."
I acquired the new Ted Danson/Mike Schur show, A Man on the Inside a few days ago. Given that it's spy-coded I didn't think it unusual when the opening scene supposedly filmed in the early '80s was in a foreign language. Figured that maybe Danson's character is ex-KGB or some shit and that there were no subtitles because we're not really supposed to know what he's saying.
Yeah, no. I'd somehow managed to strip out all language files but Turkish when transcoding it from MKV to MP4.
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
I accidentally watched A Quiet Place with the sound off. It wasn't until the waterfall scene about 45m in that I realized something was wrong.
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.
I watched the movie Hush, a horror movie about a deaf woman, on mute without knowing until after it was over. I thought it was a really creative artistic choice
I had something similar with a download of Eraserhead. The audio was corrupted, the best way I could describe it is running water with a ton of reverb slightly chopped. I thought it was an interesting choice and the ambience definitely matched the black and white industrial atmosphere. 30 minutes in, I realized it was a bad copy when someone finally spoke.
I had a similar thing happen to me with Dark City. It took me 30 minutes to realize that the contrast on my TV was turned all the way down and that in fact, you were supposed to see something that wasn't just really, really dark.
Oh man I can't stop laughing🤣🤣🤣
How is no one mentioning why there are two versions of a movie only differing in soundtrack..? Seems bizarre to me
A lot of TV shows had their music replaced when they went to streaming because of song licensing crap, so it wasn't super surprising that it happened to a movie too.
NBC and owners of scrubs were the worst for it. Scrubs had an iconic soundtrack that picked songs for the exact mood of the story, but then licenses expired and they just chose cheaper songs. I don't care how much it costs, when "I will try to fix you" comes on I immediately start tearing up.
Edit: Found this - https://www.reddit.com/r/Scrubs/comments/2lmf7h/ive_made_a_list_of_dvdnetflix_song_differences/
So many in there that are obvious just cheap replacements. This one made me legit angry:
- My Ocardial Infarction (S4E13) - end scene; JD takes a deep breath as per Elliot's advice, and handles trainwreck patient very well
- DVD song: "All Kinds of Time" by Fountains of Wayne
- Netflix song: Unknown instrumental
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:
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.
I spent longer than I care to admit waiting for David Bowie to show up in Pan's Labyrinth, does that count?
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.
Ah, the joy of sitting through about 45 minutes of 28 Days, before realising I'd downloaded the wrong movie when the zombies failed to show up.
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
I watched an hour of the fake interviews on the Blair witch project when it first came out thinking that was the movie, was not impressed
