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
I spent longer than I care to admit waiting for David Bowie to show up in Pan's Labyrinth, does that count?
waiting for ~~David Bowie~~ to show up
david's bowie
I'm waiting for David to show up in most media I watch. He tends to refuse, though.
Listening to the real soundtrack now, I'm so disappointed that my first watch was with... that version
@reef We got about 50 or 55 minutes into "The Girl on the Train" before we realized it was weird Emily Blunt hadn't shown up yet. And all the actors were Indian.
That was when we learned there was a Hindi-language remake.
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 watched the last two harry potter parts in the wrong order, I was really confused why hogwarts suddenly looked like that.
This happened to me with the second Lord of the Rings trilogy. Ffs they dont put the number in the movie titles, so its really hard to figure out the order you're supposed to watch them
Second..trilogy? Do you mean the hobbit movies?
Maybe? It was a trilogy about the dwarves and some dragon. Honeslty I dont remember it well because it was very confusing and out of order
Yeah that's The Hobbit. Terribly done movies. They took a great book that's half the size of one of the books from the LotR trilogy and stretched it into three feature-length films by adding a bunch of nonsense.
I am so glad the book is good, because that is what I am reading once I finish Project Hail Mary.
Ooh how's Project Hail Mary? It's somewhere towards the top of my list, but BrandoSando is bringing out another book in a couple weeks and I'm trying to work my way through Wheel of Time (gosh the first book is awful).
It is so good, I don't qualify myself as an avid reader, the book I read before was Dracula from Bram Stoker, and the one before it... I can't even remember lol.
But with this book I have been hooked from the beginning I think I started it last week, and I am more than half of it, for my reading habits I would say I am doing fairly well.
I am aware the Wheel of Time has a huge amount of books, so good luck with that haha.
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.
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
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.
It took me a good fifteen minutes to realize Grand Moff Tarkin wasn't in the Universal version of the Mummy.
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.
Watched βChildren of menβ expecting a good movie.
Turns out itβs some religious hate bs story.
Was really disappointed because the quality of the actors and the whole technical setup made the impression of a βcould be goodβ-movie
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.
