>dad used to watch Lawrence of Arabia once a week>dad retired a decade ago and now watches Lawrence of Arabia almost every single day>still watching the same DVD copy he got 20 years ago>got a Blu-Ray player a couple years ago and never had any desire to get Lawrence of Arabia on Blu-RayAt this point I've decided to just respect his Lawrence of Arabia autism
>>218864015THERE IS ONLY THE DESERT FOR YOU
You have a based father. Something about physical media that gets lost with streaming, or even digital files, is the ownership of the work. The DVD with the particular crease in the booklet, the vinyl record that skips over that one certain part, that sort of stuff gives the artwork a deeper personal relationship with the owner. That DVD isn't just a copy of "Lawrence of Arabia", it's HIS copy of "Lawrence of Arabia".
At a certain point you stop giving a shit about fidelity and technology etc.You find comfort in good storytelling, which you can enjoy no matter if it's in SD or HD or UHD.Your dad is cool.
He watches it just for the rape scene
It's a great film but it's not "rewatch every single day" great.
>keeps watching a movie without a single female character in itWhy is your dad an incel????
>>218864284>not "rewatch every single day" great.What movie is that great?
>>218864409The Dark Knight Rises
>>218864409Mary Poppins
>>218864015Dad's know that double dipping is stupid. Dad's are based in that regard.Why buy ANOTHER copy of a movie you already own. Why spend money you don't have to.Their wives already waste their money.
>>218864490
>>218864532>Mary PoppinsRespectable
Even as a retiree who has the time to watch the same 4 hour movie every single day? You should buy an easel & paint set or a guitar or something for your old man. Encourage him to keep the other parts of his brain active.
>>218864409So I Married an Axe Murderer
>>218864490God damn that movie is retarded.
>>218864015You dad sounds based, it's a great film
>>218865046for you
>>218864284It is absolutely 'rewatch every single day' great, especially if you're retired. It has everything, and it's excellent if sitting down to watch or if on as background noise. BEN HURR is similar kino.
>>218864534>Dad's are based in that regard.My uncle refused to buy a new car and was driving my aunt and cousins around in a 20 year old Chevy Blazer. It wasn't like it was in good condition either. It was rusty, loud, shook on the highways, the interior was torn up, and it got all sorts of stares from people. One day the transmission broke. My aunt and cousins were thrilled they were going to finally get a new car because they were embarrassed to be seen in it and hated riding in it. Instead, he spent thousands of dollars getting the transmission fixed and got 5 more years out of that Blazer.When it finally got too rusted out to drive any longer he paid cash for a new GMC Yukon XL.
>>218865514blindingly basedHighway shakes ain't shit.
>>218864532Based and supercalifragilisticexpialidociouspilled.
>>218864409During my midnight procrastination in highschool/homeschool I would play fight club and replay it back to back. The soundtrack is great background music and the dialogue is quotable. Though, it's the closest I've gone to replaying something.
>>218864015well at least you know why you ended up on here
>>218864409Shot Caller
>>218866045>highschool/homeschool I would play fight clubFight Club is the ultimate high school movie because you're old enough to appreciate the grim aspects but still young enough to think it's deep and meaningful
>>218864409My Big Fat Greek Wedding
>>218864015I'm not trying to sound racist, but I do not understand why they chose this image for the cover.
>>218864015do you think there were autistic guys back in medieval times who would go and watch the same shakespeare play every day
>>218864409i can watch the matrix everyday for 1 week
>>218864409No movie is 'watch once a day great'. Lawrence is, in my opinion, the best movie of all time, but I have only seen it twice. Honestly I rarely rewatch films at all these days, there's so much great stuff out there that it feels wasteful just to watch the same things on repeat. Sort of like going on holiday to the same place again and again.
is it a white savior movie
>>218864015Your dad is based and has really good taste. Did he liked The Bridge on the River Kwai, Ryan's Daughter, and A Passage to India? They are great too
>>218864409I watched Half Baked for a few weeks after moving into a new home. It was like comfort.
>>218864015>never had any desire to get Lawrence of Arabia on Blu-RayHow about you gift it to him then you cunt? Come Christmas he will receive Flubber on BluRay, remastered and in smartphone vertical format as the filmmakers intended.>>218868875>Lawrence is, in my opinion, the best movie of all time, but I have only seen it twice.Perhaps you are stupid?
>>218864015Get that old head nigga a 4k Projector, a 120" Silver Ticket screen, a Panasonic UB420 and a copy of Lawrence of Kinobia in UHD.
>>218864015I watched this 3 or 4 times, still have no idea what the plot is. Old movies suck.
>>218864409problem child 2
>>218868875>Honestly I rarely rewatch films at all these daysAnd that's not our fucking problem, secondary. I could watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood or Back to the Future trilogy everyday on my projector if I had the time.
>>218864015You can't deny a man's ascended state who in old age embraced his lifelong childhood autism. Under 10 and above 50 you are cleared to be obsessed about autistic interest like trains, tanks etc
>>218871943He doesn't even have any desire to watch it on Blu-Ray, why would he want a whole fancy 4k setup to watch it?
>>218864409kung powsnatch fight clubrocco invades poland
>>218872005This has to be bait
>>218864409>What movie is that great?The kinos of Greg Lansky
>>218864015Based. I'm thinking of buying an extra copy of the James Bond Collection because the Blu-ray are No Good
>>218864015basedI miss my Dad.
>>218864409When I first got The Matrix on DVD I watched it 1-2 times every day for like 2 months.>>218868723Based.
>>218872186You people are legitimately not human. The gnostics were right. Most people are flesh automatons.
>>218874099Just buy it as a gift, you retard. Popping in the disc is the same thing, now it will look even better. Also get him a soundbar.
>>218876479Bro, by checking your IP I see you scrolling through the same fucking 4chan and Twitter threads EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY. The time YOU spend doing that shit is the time I spend watching kinocinema.
>>218876534I watch shit while scrolling. I do find it endearing you mod fags care that much about my posting style.
>>218864409Shrek 2
>>218871943Are you retarded? We've already established that his dad doesn't give a flying fuck about over-priced technological gimmicks, and your suggestion is to go out and spend 10 grand to watch a movie he already owns.
>>218876638This has to be bait
>>218881140Of course it is. I was just hoping he'd say something else stupid.
>>218864015based old man
>>218866382Keep putting in the work brother.
>>218871943>4k Projector, a 120" Silver Ticket screen, a Panasonic UB420 and a copy of Lawrence of Kinobia in UHD.For most people a projector is a bad purchase unless they're home theater obsessives or have one of the few niche uses for one.
>>218864015I watch LoA once per year. I'm always sad when I see Peter O'Toole riding the motorbike through the quaint village at the start of the film. England will never look like that again. I hope every British politician dies in agony.
>>218864202>digital filesNigga DVDs hold digital files tooGoofy muhfuhn nigga
>>218864409Bladerunner. Someone post the kanye tweet.
>>218864219If I had watched Lawrence of Arabia hundreds of times though on dvd, I'd want to see it on blue ray at least once for the novelty
>>218865514>paid cash for a new GMC Yukon XL.
>>218883869Like how TE Lawrence died?
>>218867327because it was based
>>218864409When I retire I'm gonna alternate Excalibur and The Bastard Swordsman
>>218864015He has serious issues maybe even early onset dementia He needs to get checked out
>>218867327idgi. whats wrong with it?
>>218864228No, that's why he watches Deliverance.
>>218864202stop talking like some ai retard
>>218885142>durr words frighten me
>>218864015Your dad is based as fuck.
>>218864409The Shining
>>218884175What's wrong with the GMC Yukon XL?
>>218885142>>218883953mentally ill
>>218864015I fell obsessively in love with a girl this past summer and we both coincidentally watched this movie the day before our first date. It was a major reoccurring point of discussion between us and she'd joke about how I looked Circassian and might get rated by Turks. In the end she cheated on me with multiple guys but wouldn't tell me who with. I suspect a couple of my friends
>>218884786>maybe even early onset dementiaIf he's been doing it for a decade I don't think it's dementia.
>>218885142>hur dur stop talk gud dat retaded fr frYou will never be a human being
>>218864015Buy your dad more movies. Take the hint.
>>218864015I watched this movie at home and I wish I had seen it on a big screen. Home screens are not equally as epic as the mobie itself is
>>218872186>Once Upon a Time in Hollywoodshut the fuck up boomer
