If you're avoiding scientology's that blacklists a quarter of Hollywood actors

In the old days, sure. Not so much anymore.

I figure they're just better at not broadcasting the fact anymore.

Nah man. The brand of scientology is just too toxic now.

But in any case, nothing not broadcasting about Battlefield Earth.

That's also whole scene of the Last Dragon (1985) https://www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt0089461/

I didn't know anyone else had seen that movie.

I remember that movie, but I had no idea what it was called.

Le Dernier Dragon for you. 

So instead of Sum Dum Goy you get Yang Kippur.

Produced by none other than Berry Gordy (it's better than The Wiz at least...)

Since 1984, the Criterion Collection has been dedicated to publishing important classic and contemporary films from around the world in editions that offer the highest technical quality and award-winning, original supplements. No matter the medium—from laserdisc to DVD, Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD to streaming—Criterion has maintained its pioneering commitment to presenting each film as its maker would want it seen, in state-of-the-art restorations with special features designed to encourage repeated watching and deepen the viewer's appreciation of the art of film.

But then Criterion also released Armaggedon, in the early DVD era (not anamorphically enhanced  ). Probably to pay for other, more challenging, releases.

As for me, The Last Dragon is way more fun and funnier. 
4K / UHD treatment but by Sony, so probably a better transfer than Criterion.

Watched 'The Hunger Games' for the first time; OK teen adventure, but then I'm not the intended audience, but refreshing for it's lack of OTT violence.

I didn't know Criterion released The Wiz; I did know they had done Armageddon.  It's been a very long time since I've seen it; but I just remember The Wiz being dull (which is surprising, since it's a musical which stars a 20 year old Michael Jackson.)

[Duque de Bragança]

To be precise, no yet but on June 10th.
There is also Sorcerer and Brazil, however...

The best thing about that movie was the Pitch Meeting it inspired:

[Darth Wagtaros]

Agreed.

[jimmy olsen]

Looking good

Watching 'Better Call Saul' for the 2nd time, really enjoying it.
