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 personally really miss old history channel. Newer youtuber formats don’t do it for me so I gravitated to video essays
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.
You are a fucking hero.
One of my favorite movies is The Mosquito Coast because the location takes me to a familiar place. The Rundown has a similar effect for the same reason but not many movies really capture the immersion of a jungle that well.
The scene you linked convinced me I need to watch this in the dark on a big screen with the sounds of the trees and rain enveloping me. The bonus is that I can find it on Blu-ray cheap as hell on Amazon right now.
This will be my first movie of 2026. Thank you so much!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Happy New Year.
I believe Corridor Crew does that every now and then, don’t they?
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
Ah, yeah, entire full movies would be a bit harder, as that would cost a lot of time and money.
Given how many people are unemployed in the vfx industry there is enough people to do it, but they would get a cease and desist from the film companies. Not only would they have a hard time showing off their effort, they can potentially get themselves in trouble or black listed from working in the industry.
Maybe things that are public domain.
It’s one of my ‘winning the lottery’ dreams.
Happy New Year

I throw my videos onto Peertube. And then post onto [email protected] or [email protected] 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.Check out the ASMR Fairy on TikTok
They exist, they are just labled “fail videos”
Chris Boden/physicsduck has a rather unusual collection of “ambient” videos of old machinery running, various hydro dam sneak peeks etc.
Not the same but maybe similar?I know of people that would appreciate gun range ASMR videos. You’ll want to tone down the audio from a sharp crack to more of a buzzing crackle, but adding in the nose of people shuffling around and messing with their guns and you might actually have a hit.
Generally, think about uploading to PeerTube instead of YouTube. Or at least do both.
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
Once you choose an instance it’s very close to the same amount of work / understanding, isn’t it? So… just choose the default instance.
Being an idiot and technologically impaired are two different things!
Not unaddressed, but certainly unresolved. There is no defined end state, so it must always improve.
That’s fair, hyperbolic word choice on my part due to frustration
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.
Sounds like a fun channel, buy would suffer from dcma abuse because of copyright and corporations not knowing what fair use is.
corporations not knowing what fair use is
pretending to not know. They’re fully capable of understanding when it helps them make money.
Yea, that’s fair.
I’m wondering how the hell channels like CinemaSins gets away with it. One would think that channel would obviously get taken down with the amount of movie clips that he shows. I know he talks over them and thus may be fair game but, that’s still a lot.
My head cannon is they got big before Google made deals with rights-holders and now that CinemaSins is part of Fandom they license the videos as part of advertising.
Please look at this video description.
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.
bodycam footage is the best content but I want to see it from other countries as well
