Beavis and Butt-Head: The Complete Collection
Amazon
  • DVD: US, CAN
Comments Blaine: I know this is titled “The Complete Collection,” but Amazon reviews are saying it’s only a set of everything previously released on DVD, but not everything made. The description doesn’t say anything about that, but it *does* list a 1041 minute running time, which seems incredibly low for a TV series that lasted 208 episodes along with a movie. I never watched the series, but unless episodes were less than 5 minutes each, this isn’t complete.

    • I absolutely do not consider it boring.

      There’s nothing inherently wrong with a slow pace. They just tend not to make movies like that any more.

      One of my favourite movies is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It’s 15 minutes before anyone even speaks in that thing. I’m absolutely not opposed to a thrill-ride movie, either, but I miss movies where they actually draw you in without car chases and constant explosions – and Arrival definitely does that.

  1. October Sky is one of those undervalued films that kids should be exposed to. Might get some more of them interested in the space program, particularly rural kids.
