It just crashed a couple days ago. It gets re-released in February. You'd get about 1/3 if you sold now.

What they playing?
joe don baker it literally says right there
Is this movie like porkies or something? Also frick scalpers
>Also frick scalpers
What do you mean?
I don't even think ticket scalping is bad. I don't necessarily know a lot about it but that is a very massive risk compared to Joysticks for example. Ticket scalpers have an extremely limited window of opportunity to even make their money back. That's why I think it's gotta be an inside job. Personally I don't think there's any way otherwise that somebody would do that.
That was my retirement plan
I'd imagine so. It was really up there. I'm not sure if there's ever been a more expensive standard package movie. I thought Third Man bluray would beat it but its apparently about tied. There's basically a strong price ceiling for movies and this is pretty much it.
Why would someone try to sell it for that much if there’s so many listings?
Try? Those are all completed sales. Someone just paid $250 for it and in February its gonna be $30. And this has been going on for many years. I've had it in my watch list for probably a couple years. And never even came close.
why tho? was it a limited print run or something?
yeah it's showing just 1,000 which I assume is completely accurate. It's all about licensing as I understand. They either can't reach an agreement or can't afford the agreement so they settle on some super limited run. I wouldnt be surprised especially in this case if it was based on a friendly industry favor.
>tfw put my life savings in Joy Sticks
Kym Malin is one of the hottest playmates who somehow got one of the worst centerfolds
omg she was the girl playing the piano in Weird Science. And she was in Die Hard? I assume she also had the one tittie scene in that movie as well. Crazy.
dont look up her centerfold, it doesn't do her justice
I wonder if arcades were really this scuzzy low life teen hang out like it was portrayed in this movie? wouldn't it be mostly kids?
Haven't seen this movie, but the old arcades were the absolute shiznit, especially the further back you go, like the 'Space Invaders' to 'Pacman' era.
Funny thing is they'd have a characteristic smell, I suspect the plastics they were using back then weren't as (UV?) stable and outgassing, or some of the internal tech had a rougher production process that left some kind of chemical residue, (like PCB etching or some shit). Same with the old computers of the era, and handhelds. I have a serious nostalgia for it because it's gone now whatever it was. Also cigarette smoke and ash used to contribute to the atmosphere, (I've never smoked in my life and think you're a moron if you do, but always found the smell of secondhand smoke kinda pleasant, PROTIP: that shit wont kill you Zoomer pussies).
Social atmosphere was actually fricking awesome. Young kids, teens, and adults that were into that shit or running the place, but not in any creepy, weird way. Just a good little moneymaker/craze for anyone who owned the machines, and fricking fun as shit after no vidya, (not even 8-bit), for the previous 13.8 billion years. Games were simple, but fun enough, and trying to get high score was the thing. Expensive to develop mad skillz on them, unless you were the owner and could git gud in your own time, (which they tended to do).
Later 'Street Fighter II' boom and peak was something to live through too. The games got increasingly better, the arcades more standardised and less organic due to home computers and consoles cutting into the market. Though that did drive some cool shit like the big games you could sit in like how John Connor is playing 'After Burner' in Terminator 2:
?t=114
Made me sad to go back to one of the few remaining arcades in my city later on only to find it mostly full of those gay claw machines, where tickets and tokens are the currency instead of coins, and other carny shit. End of an era that was pretty sweet.
pinball-gaming outgrossed cinema in the late 50s
Did you know pinball used to be illegal and still is in some places? I just found out from the movie Licorice Pizza. I had absolutely no idea about any of that let alone how recent it was.
I recall reading about a court trial, I think it was here in NY, where a guy had to land a bunch of skillshots in court to prove pinball was a game of skill and not chance.
True. Pinball was already an established thing that vidya grew alongside and usurped the spaces. Old enough to have caught the tail end of that era. Always a few pinball machines still kicking around in the background of the arcades though, and were still being manufactured and licenced for popular IPs, so must have still been making a respectable return.
Christcucks seethed about how it was gambling because it used to be more similar to pachinko, in that there were no paddles, and the game could pay out money if you won
There was an arcade in Boston when I was a kid that was real scummy but it was right near the combat zone so the whole areas was hookers and junkies anyways
is this a good movie?
It's literally the Citizen Kane of arcade movies.
Never went in much for the 'Porky's' style films, they often have a weird perverse israelite feel to the whole sex angle.
Though I do have a soft spot for 'Hamburger: The Motion Picture' (1986), despite that shit because that spends more time taking the piss out of McDonald's "Hamburger University" and similar corporate/franchise bullshit with the absurd sex shit as excuse. Also sucked me in the way it starts where dude is basically a Chad whose sex drive is fricking up his life, so he has to reject women who are throwing themselves at him, kek:
israelite sex movies feel like an indian person directing a movie about white women
what's the best porky-style movie?
>what's the best porky-style movie?
I have a soft spot for The Van (1977).
I only know about this movie existing because of this moron Bames Ralph
hey guys greydon clark here ama

What my copy looks like
Yeah -- there's been a Bluray rip out for the better part of a decade. That said, if this new disc is a remaster it's a get. Wall to wall 80s waifus.
that pic lots photoshopped
Whatever happened to raunchy sex comedies?
The one with the butthole came out a few weeks ago. No one updated the gif without the text over her ass so I assume no one watched it
Comedy is about slamming Trump and white men, or pop culture references
Any humor about anything else is problematic
What would be a cool place for cool teens to have sex with cool hot babes but lame adults want to shut down nowadays ?
ax throwing business?
Cigar bar ?
Conventions, so everyone can pretend to be into nerdshit
And the lames are uggos you wouldn't frick in the first place
I could see a sci fi convention being a decent setting for a teen sex comedy
>The Villain is either a fat smelly neckbeard or a fat bulldyke-looking feminist
Villain would obviously be a Chad Jock who hates nerds who wants to stop the sci fi convention
But at the end he realizes that nerd stuff is cool and becomes friends with all the nerds
Marijuana dispensaries
I've always liked this movie but never realized how obscure it was. I'm an oldgay and when I was a kid they used to play it censored on USA all the time. I always dug the early 80s arcade game theme. And it features Super Pac-Man in the end. Plus satan's hollow which I never heard of outside this movie and MAME
Never seen it, only heard about it like a year ago. I'm stoked for the upcoming release, I'd actually buy a 4k version if they put it out just to see a vintage arcade again.
