The OJ Simpson joke made me smile but otherwise, this looks terrible.

Another quick release. I thought this only happened to the underperforming films.

I was thinking of pickup up the Arrow Video Blu-ray in preparation for the upcoming release of the sequel. Is it just the 4K affected?

I like the sound of this.

The story follows a disgraced former astronaut hired to take a submersible to the deepest part of the ocean to explore a newly discovered trench. Supernatural events transpire as the vehicle gets closer to its destination and he is confronted by a sinister and dangerous force.

“The Scarlet Drop,” a work of legendary six-time Oscar-winning American filmmaker John Ford, has been found nearly in its entirety after being lost for over a century reports The National News.

The 1918 film follows Harry ‘Kaintuck’ Ridge (Harry Carey) who skips out on the American Civil War to join a gang of marauders and at the end of the war finds himself a fugitive.

Going west, he becomes a bandit and ends up winning the love of a woman he has taken captive after holding up a stage coach.

It was one of 26 westerns Ford made with Carey, the most prolific partnership of Ford’s career even as his work with John Wayne remains his most famous partnership. Ford’s career ultimately spanned over 130 films and more than 50 years from 1917-1970.

Until this discovery, only about 30 minutes of footage from the film existed in the Getty Archive with no full cut thought to remain intact.

The movie was rediscovered by the owner of a warehouse in Santiago, Chile just one day before it was set to be demolished. Going through the building’s contents, the owner discovered a trove of films once owned by a local collector and left untouched for forty years after his death.

The owner contacted a film academic and film festival director who rescued the films from being discarded. It was digitised but is still in need of a full restoration and there are still some “missing partial aspects of the film”.

Plans for a wider release of the film have not been announced.

Stahelski says:

“We’re bringing it forward from the early 1500s in the highlands to the beyond present-day New York and Hong Kong, and seeing how it goes. There’s big opportunity for action.

There’s a chance to play a character that not a lot of people get to play. And it’s a bit of a love story, but not how you think. On ‘John Wick,’ I learned a lot on how to bend the storytelling a little… another kind of myth.”

Stahelski then goes on to explain how he pitched the project to Cavill and the uniqueness of the role being one of its draws:

“My selling point was, to [Henry Cavill], look, you’ve got a guy that’s been alive for over 500 years. He’s the last person in the world that wanted to be in this situation. So you get to cover quite a broad spread of a character arc there. And you get to experience someone that’s trained over 500 years and sort of played [with many types of] martial arts.”

People still continue to buy the Bose TV Speaker even after we made a dedicated video on it…. To get you to stop, we took to facebook marketplace and gave ourselves the SAME budget and managed to buy a 5.1 surround sound setup with dedicated receivers!

Considering this is the home video section, I thought this would apply to this community. Reminds me of when I had my tiny dirt cheap 5.1 system, which sounded great to me. Especially when playing Bad Company 2 on my Xbox360.

Why?

I hold out that one day this will get released or rather leaked. I hope it hasn't been deleted.

The closet we'll get to seeing at right now is this crew reel showing off the hard work that went into bringing the Looney Tunes world to live action.

Dogma 2 on the way from Kevin Smith (www.thehollywoodnews.com)
submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Dogma 2 could be on the way as the filmmaker has found a way back in to follow up the late '90s smash hit movie.

Kevin Smith is reportedly planning a sequel to one of his biggest movies. Dogma was released all of the way back in 1999 with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck among its cast. Well, it looks like Smith is ready for a follow-up after finding a way in for a new movie.

Deadline reports that Smith is indeed working on a sequel and was speaking over the weekend at Vulture Festival in Los Angeles. “Some people will be like, ‘Don’t f—ing touch it. You’ll ruin it,’” said Smith. “And I’m here to tell you: I will. I’m f—ing tickled. I found a way in.”

What’s more, Smith hopes that Damon and Affleck will also return for Dogma 2, or whatever Smith chooses to call it, as their characters Bartleby and Loki. He added:

“Expect a cameo from them — more than a f—ing cameo. The only way we get a Dogma sequel made is if they’re there. So count on those guys being there.”

Why create original films when you can plunder expired copyright works, eh?

I was quite looking forward to Star Wars: Skeleton Crew until I saw the first trailer. It looks like someone is trying to do The Goonies in space. The one image that really disheartened me is the shot of the suburbs, rows of houses and streets. Star Wars isn't a place where I'd expect to see suburbs, it's in a galaxy far, far away, a long time ago.

It's very similar to when The Book of Boba Fett had their version of the 60s scooter scene. It doesn't work and took me completely out of the episode.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

I'm guessing PVOD is renting the film while a digital release is buying a copy. COUGH! I mean buying a license to stream a film whenever you want until they remove it from the service.

Discs forever!✊

The Tories have already introduced ID for voter fraud that was non existent and taken away most of the power from the Electoral Commission. It wouldn't surprise me. 😆

13 years old, isn't it enough? 😆

I read somewhere the other day that things aren't going well and they're thinking of rebooting old IPs like The Incredibles.

Is going back to past hits a good idea?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Agreed. As an old school Star Wars fan, Disney, in my opinion, has soured the franchise for me.

Mandalorian started well, but I was bored by the middle of season 2. Boba Fett had a few good moments, but it was such a fan service show, it was irritating to watch and incorporating half a season of Mando into it didn't help. Obi Wan was a completely pointless story that added nothing to the saga. Again, more fan service of wanting to see Vader and Obi-Wan face off again. Andor was the only show that felt like real Star Wars.

I can't believe the next film is for The Mandalorian, haven't we had enough of him already. I was really looking forward to Rogue Squadron, shame it was cancelled.

Wankers. They all need to go. They've fleeced the country and destroyed everything.
