The Revenent
Stunning cinematography did not make up for the lack of compelling characters or dialog.

She’s had a hand in making as many good Star Wars movies as I have.
Billy Dee Williams sock confirmed!
So in a universe with faster than light travel, the most confusing question is how a robot can stand out in the rain?
Yeah, not having the IMAX cut of AotC is one of the things that keeps me up at night, too. I’d rather have two cuts of that movie to keep me thoroughly bored.
The Book of Henry is the equivalent of eating a cake baked with salt instead of sugar, or listening to a Beatles song where the lyrics are in Esperanto—you understand the idea of what Trevorrow was going for, but the end result is an appalling, irradiated mess, a Frankenstein’s monster version of a feel-good classic. It might be quickly forgotten as a well-meaning flop, but The Book of Henry deserves to linger—it’s like an unsettling dream you can’t quite remember, a familiar story where all the pieces just seemed out of place.
The Book of Henry honestly sounds like one of the worst movie ever made.
But it’s not a Disney movie!
He means with the exception of The Force Awakens, obviously.
Don’t worry. Even if you half agree with him, you’re still 100% wrong.

Nice
cheers mate 😃
Hopefully going to see them soon in concert in Manchester, where they are performing with The Selecter 😃 - http://www.thebeatofficial.com/tour/
Being from the other side of the pond, they’re known to me as the English Beat, due to some silly trademark scuffle.
Love Wha’ppen and Special Beat Service. I Just Can’t Stop It ain’t too shabby either.
Thanks Warb. Seems the meaning of this day is lost on most people today. Fireworks, baseball players dressed as soldiers, etc.
Just gave this a fourth watch. Still holds up. Enjoyed every minute.
Was alone this time so I got to pull the couch up to four feet from the TV. (I need a bigger TV, lol) the Blu looks great.

Nice
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to… give you coverings and all.

It seems most people in the industry call it that, except perhaps at LF headquarters.
I even read a relatively recent (but Pre-Disney) interview in which Kathy Kennedy refers to it as such.
also this one http://www.starwars.com/video/tusken-raider-attack
are they actively trolling?
The official site now has a 40th anniversary hub, but as expected not a single frame or still, that’s not a production photo or behind the scenes photo, looks even remotely like the theatrical release. There’s a section devoted to the Star Wars frames book (2013), all of which originate from the bluray master. As far as the official site is concerned the OT films exist in one form only, the final cuts. The theatrical versions are dead and burried.
The header photo on starwars.com is embarrassing–that frame is only 20 years old!
Of course they did. What would Star Wars be without that rock.
Also, they better have upscaled Hayden Christenson’s head.
Hey, don’t be knocking on fritters.
Total Recall (1990)
8/10
I’ll be watching The Godfather for the first time tonight. I am beyond excited. Will leave my thoughts here when finished.
I hope you’ve built in an extra three hours for Part II, because you won’t want to stop.
- And Obi Wan’s space chase for Fett was quite ok.
The movie was one of the dumbest things in the movie.

Alien (1979)
I like it a lot.
Theatrical cut, I hope.
screams in the void nails it, although I didn’t think there’d be armies of Mandalorians. I was sure that the Clone Wars were a war in which the Jedi fought against clones, as did everyone else (cf. Zahn’s Heir to the Empire trilogy).
Imagine how much more interesting it would have been if order 66 came in II and III was about the Jedi reorganizing and fighting the clones and Vader (and losing).
Vader is turned in II and suffers the catastrophic injury after re-enounterimg Ben in III.
Too many cooks! 😉
Everybody wants a piece of the action!
But I would stick with release. That’s the goal, isn’t it?
This is honestly a very effective way to do it, in my opinion. We don’t want them to have to read paragraph upon paragraph.
If we’re doing short form we can make the text bigger.
