I made it to the part where Liam rips the arms off the bad guy and stopped watching. That's only ten seconds into the trailer!

Wow! Have these people never seen the originals?

I've been searching to find out what happened and thanks to a couple of Reddit posts, I think I know what's going on.

This line of buildable figures wasn't that popular. Apparently figures of droids and masked characters sold the best but the general consensus was that figures with human faces just looks odd.

But despite Jyn Erso's figure being officially retired in April 2018, even as late as last year, people are still finding boxed copies in stores. It just didn't sell.

I'm happy to see the move has been successful and welcome @[email protected] (Is that the right one, he has accounts everywhere! 😁) to your Mod team.

That guy is fast! I've lost count how many times I've come to post video or news and he's beaten me to it!

A lovely read for Saturday morning, thank you. I'm really surprised to learn that Cyberpunk is running sub HD on the Switch 2 and then being upscaled. Maybe I don't really understand it properly but I guess the filters and technology hide the jank?

As the article states, this was screened at the London BFI the other day. It's an original technicolour print from 1977. There's a ten minute video about it here.

I've heard interviews with the people at the BFI and if I remember correctly, they have a film scanner capable of 12k scans. The films in the archive all get digital scans made for backup purposes.

So sitting on a hard drive, somewhere at the BFI, is probably a huge 4K scan of this very print.

But I presume the best we will have access to is 4K77.

Click bait websites must love news stories like this.

"OMG!! Zelda movie delayed!!"

Then you read the article and tut because the truth is, they've pushed it back a few weeks. Hardly news.

Kevin Smith says he’s cracked the story for the Dogma sequel by Kevin Fraser

JoBlo / 2025-06-05 00:55

Shortly after regaining control of Dogma from the Weinsteins last year, Kevin Smith quickly announced that he was working on a sequel. Since then, Smith has taken the original film on tour, including a screening at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, which prompted him to get bitten by the festival bug again. He told Deadline that he wants to return to the festival with a sequel to Dogma by 2028.

“What I didn’t realize is, I would get there and I’d get bit by the bug again, and I’d be seeing all these places, these haunts from my childhood, from my 20s, so to speak, from the three times I was there when I was a kid, once in ’94 with Clerks, once in ’99 with Dogma, and then again in 2006 with Clerks 2,” Smith said. “And suddenly, I was like, ‘Why is it that you assume that the Cannes-worthy portion of your life is over? You never even expected it to begin in the first place. It was never part of the aim. It just came along with the journey. Maybe if you really try, you could.’ So, it was the 78th edition this year and so I was like, ‘You know what? I wanna come back on the 80th, or the 81st at the latest with the Dogma sequel, like that’s a Cannes-worthy movie.’ And so, I said that on stage when I was intro-ing and everybody applauded, and [festival director] Thierry Frémaux was on stage with me, and he adds, ‘if it is good,’ and I was like, ‘fair enough, if it’s good, yes.’“

As for the Dogma sequel, Smith says he’s been “whimsying about it for the last six months” and has finally cracked the story.

“I absolutely love it. I feel like when people see it, they’ll be like, ‘Oh, I get it,’ like ‘that makes sense’ kind of thing. Hopefully they’ll be like, ‘that’s clever’ and not be like, ‘well shit, I would have done that,’” Smith said. “I will set a place at the table for everyone who was in the first movie who is still alive. Sadly, Alan [Rickman] and George [Carlin] won’t be able to join us, but I’ll set a place at the table for all of them. If they want to come back, they’ll have a role to play, but if not, no harm, no foul. The story I’m telling can definitely make use of everybody who is in Dogma, but I can also tell it without. So, that makes me pretty excited to go forward. It’s its own unique tale.“

Following up a beloved film with a belated sequel doesn’t always work out, but Smith feels that he’s got a winner on his hands, at least at this stage. “I feel very happy with it,” he said. “I can’t drop the ball on it. It’s like one of the last fing movies I ever made that’s beloved across the boards and shit like that. So, I would never step up to the plate unless I was like, ‘Oh, this will fing work nicely as a companion piece.’ So, I feel pretty great about it, man. But of course during the whimsy stage one always feels great about it. It’s when you make it and everyone sees it and they’re like, ‘Well, that f***ing sucks. You should have left well enough alone.’ You just hope it doesn’t come to that.” Hopefully not.

Smith says he’s working closely with a “popular physical media distributor” to get a 4K Steel Book version of Dogma ready for a December release. He says the 4K restoration of the comedy that makes some Catholics cringe looks fantastic, and they didn’t change anything about the original presentation.

Damn. I thought this project was on the way to a green light.

I find that people who use the word woke as an insult don't really understand what it means.

The 8 bit guy. I loved his retro computing channel and then one day, he acquired a rare IBM computer and promptly destroyed the power supply by sticking a screwdriver into it (if I remember correctly).

For some reason, I googled about this and discovered he's a gun nut. They're videos of him going grocery shopping with his rifle on his back which apparently he does this knowing it will annoy people.

Unsubscribed from the channel and never looked back.

There's a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.

It was utter stupidity. The only nation in the history of the world to impose economic sanctions on its self. The nation was lied to so a select few very rich people could make their lives easier.

Do you know what the most googled term was after the referendum? "What is the EU?"

Back in the old days of 8bit computing, I remember a few magazines used to explain their scoring system.

Most magazines reviewed a game out of ten. A score of five would be an average. The game is just ok. Not brilliant but not terrible either.

A great game would be an eight or nine. Very rarely would a game receive a ten as that indicates perfection.

In today's world, the way people talk, it feels like a game needs at least an 8 (or 80%) or it's not even worth touching.
