- CurrentB 3y agoI was hoping to see this exact recommendation.
- actionfromafar 3y agoFrom the website I can't exactly tell why sending all the tapes there would be a great idea. But you guys seem to know something I don't, care to elaborate? :)
- davexunit 3y agoGregg Turkington has vast movie expertise, set a Guinness World Record for watching 501 movies in 501 days, and maintains the largest film archive in North America. I can't think of someone I'd trust more with Mr. Scorcese's collection.
- dumbo-octopus 3y agoIs watching one movie a day really that impressive? I bet a ton of people in old folk's homes have him beat by virtue of sitting around all day in the in vicinity of televisions.
- palmfacehn 3y agoMaybe he saw them in theatres
- Hikikomori 3y agoWatching movies doesn't give you all the facts to become an impressive movie critic. Would you for example know the exact number of Oscars each lord of the rings movies got from just watching them?
- labster 3y agoNo, I would look Oscar wins up on a wiki just like everyone else.
- Hikikomori 3y agoThen you would not be a very good movie critic, just an elderly person.
- School-Cotton 3y agoI don’t really get your point. Having an encyclopedic knowledge of trivia surely doesn’t make you a good critic, either?
- Hikikomori 3y agoI take it you're not a gregghead.
- davexunit 3y agoOr how many Blondie movies there are? No Googling!
- throwup238 3y agoNo, it's not and the Guinness World Records were a joke long before this. It's a consultancy that people hire for PR ("verification").
- VelesDude 3y agoThe responses to this... chefs kiss
- kouru225 3y agoTypical Greghead response
- kubectl_h 3y agoThis whole subthread is a five bagger.
- lapetitejort 3y agoI'm honestly surprised when I see On Cinema references in the wild, mainly because I'm still amazed that they survived cancellation by Adult Swim only to create their own hyper-niche streaming service that has survived for going on three years.
- willcipriano 3y agoThe mystery science theater people did a similar thing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rifftrax/rifftrax-live-2024-point-break-in-theaters-aug-8-and-13 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rifftrax/rifftrax-live-...
- VelesDude 3y agoOhhhhh, I've got the Oscar fever, Hope you got it too! Pour me some bubbly now its all you got to do. Its Christmas for tinsel town, the academy awards. Pop up some popcorn, Welcome aboard. Whose gonna win? Whose gonna lose? It's I've got the oscar fever hope you got it too. Whose gonna win? Whose gonna lose? I've got the... who...
- kouru225 3y agoI work for someone who has a very large collection of old video tape. You think these people would be interested?

- toomuchtodo 3y agoThe Internet Archive will likely take them. Happy to facilitate logistics and cover costs.
- mewse-hn 3y agoMr Scorsese from?
- davexunit 3y agoKillers of the Flower Moon (206 minutes) 5 bags
