RE: The Terminator 4k

This is what I was expecting instead Terminator arrived early, unlike the Criterion issue this has dolby vision so really looking forward to a 4k masterclass

The Terminator 4k

just received this yesterday and for first time in a while I bought a movie and put it straight on as its always been a favourite of mine.I won't review the movie as im sure everyone has seen it, if now why the hell not :)

4k transfer is miles better than the travesty that T2 is thank god and the sound is awesome, the special effects on the other hand are a definite mixed bag although it was expected tbf, the stop motion in particular of the endoskeleton Termitator was clunky to say the least and some of the mask work when he fixed his eye again showed its age but others especially the future war scenes and the explosion were surprisingly good given the age.

I was disappointed that there were no new extras (they too seemed to be 2005) but 19 years later its fascinating to see how close they're to nailing the future and Cameron and others agreeing that AI would happen but how far they thought we were from it.

As for the movie itself I dont remember it being so dark, I mean its a technological slasher movie and me being an expert (of course) I disagreed with Cameron on some of the deleted scenes and why he deleted them, others were so cringeworthy there was no choice :)

RE: [VIDEO] Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story

Was a magnificent warts and all biography of an actor who was probably the most recognisable star during his superman movies but his wife for me was the bigger hero standing by him to the end, must watch

RE: [VIDEO] Only Murders in the Building

I gave up after episode 3, just a money grab now and pale imitation of a great show

[VIDEO] Secret Santa 2024

Been watching this every christmas for a few years, local millionaire gives gifts to locals incognito through the local east Idaho news channel. We could do with some more feel good stories, this started couple of weeks ago WWAW to catch up

RE: [VIDEO] Megalopolis

Lasted 21 minutes, baffled and bored

[VIDEO] Music by John Williams

Absolutely loved this, a remarkable man who is the most important composer in TV and Film History and one of the most important figures in movie history, his catalogue of film compositions is ridiculous and this is a must watch (listen) for anyone with even a passing interest in cinema

WTAF America 😩😩

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

Thought Paddy Powers add trolling Arteta said it all about modern football that Ten Hag won more trophies than Arteta during his time, nowadays 4th is more important than actual trophies

RE: [VIDEO] Venom

Just watched it as I did enjoy the first 2 for mindless fun, this one similar although by far the worst of the 3, basically a 42 minute tv episode fleshed out by meaningless action and dance scenes to bloat it to make it an hour and half tv movie, even giving the lead a chance to put in his James Bond interview :) as long as they leave it alone now and judging by the box office it isn't enough of a cash cow to continue the franchise. enjoyable hocum for Marvel fans but doubt anyone else would enjoy it, my favourite but was the 2 ted lasso stars in it

weekly from memory

RE: [VIDEO] Silo

WOW!! seriously stoked for this, 1st season was magnificent

RE: [VIDEO] Joker: Folie à Deux

Wasn't for me to be fair, I like very few of his movies, In fact actively dislike most but the 1st really seemed to like the character Gaga replaced and I wonder if thats the main reason?

RE: [VIDEO] Joker: Folie à Deux

So can anyone confirm this is the train wreck the box office suggests it is?

[VIDEO] In Flight

I have no clue what this is but it has Danny Rojas :) 

[VIDEO] RE:Thunderbolts

Really good conspiracy thriller sent in Scotland with dodgy cops politicians and spooks, another strong cast. available on ITVX and STV player

[VIDEO] Nightsleeper

So there have been some very entertaining UK tv shows lately that I haven't noticed getting a mention so bare with me as I give them a shout out starting with this based on the Caledonia sleeper from Glasgow to London with a strong cast including a couple of Still Gamers

RE: [VIDEO] Penguin!
