I’ve been thumbing over my disc book collection to discard what movies I have that I know I won’t ever watch. And I’m finding all of these editions to them. Like 25th Anniversary, Ultimate Edition, Director’s Cut .etc .etc

And I’ve always wanted to see someone like some movie buff, detail the differences between a movie when it was originally released on tape, on disc or whatever. Then describing what the differences are in later releases from the original release.

I know some channels on YouTube do this but they’re always like side-mentions or one movie will be covered. There’s no one dedicated channel out there that does this and I’m not much of a movie buff to try myself.

I would totally be watching that channel a lot if it was ever made.

    I would love to see a stream of someone starting from a pc without an OS then installing Linux on it, then customizing it to look really good.

    The closest thing I can think of is a livestream from Veronica Explains that does something similar, but not quite what I’m looking for.

    I personally really miss old history channel. Newer youtuber formats don’t do it for me so I gravitated to video essays

    Sounds like a fun channel, buy would suffer from dcma abuse because of copyright and corporations not knowing what fair use is.

      I barely managed to work out How To Do Lemmy.

      I’m perfectly comfortably accepting that I’m an idiot, but I really do think that the fedi onboarding issue is still completely unaddressed

    I saw a video comparing Harry Potter and The Sorecer’s Stone with Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone. For those who might not be aware, the book had a different title in the US vs the UK and so four scenes in the film were shot twice to accommodate the different title. One would expect that to throw the timing off by like half a second, but the two cuts of the film line up perfectly. In the side by side comparison, it is noticeable that Harry turns his head more in one than the other.

    Possibly off topic, but one thing I’d like to see is people upgrading the bad special effects of old movies.

    “Flash Gordon” has an incredible score from Queen, hilarious dialog, and cheesy effects.

    “The White Buffalo” is a great Western about Wild Bill Hickock and Crazy Horse. The actual monster looks like it was made out of cardboard

      Yeah but all that really does is piss off the purists. Like, it has been tried with Star Wars and to this day, people still bitch about the change in some effects.

        Happy New Year.

        Here’s a random suggestion. The movie ‘Sorcerer’ died at the box office because it came out the same weekend as ‘Star Wars.’ Pity, because it’s a great suspense movie with plenty of action and a million twists.

        Here’s a sample.

        Never heard of them. I’ll look it up. Thank you

        edit = so, they do bits and pieces, but not the full movies.

        Thanks again

    I throw my videos onto Peertube. And then post onto !peertube@lemmy.world or !videos@lemmy.world and call it a day. Its as easy as pressing the upload button and adding a title half the time. Easier than youtube by leaps and bounds.

    Piefed makes it really easy to crosspost from peertube to different communities.

    As far as stuff to watch, I like to see custom builds, things people are working on, and podcasts like fireside fedi. More of that :)

    Here’s a random idea: parody ASMR videos.
    Focus exclusively on very loud sounds like a wood chipper, angle grinder, chainsaw, jackhammer, shooting range, etc.
