The last film I saw at the cinema was Godzilla Minus One and I finally got round to watching Drive at long last, I’m happy to say I really enjoyed both.
Insomniacs Spider-Man 2 was even more boring and repetitive then the first.
I don’t think I’m gonna watch the final season of Stranger Things. In hindsight, everything after the first season has been adventures in diminishing returns
I did enjoy season 4. Both 2 and 3 were kind of coasting off the success of the first series, but 4 really did a great job getting me to engage with the story again.
It is wrong to assume that your digital movies will be preserved by the studios, who recently cancelled films as tax write-offs and deleted films from digital collections. The only way to legally own a film is through physical media.
Agreed. I have no interest in subscription based services that stream content to you. These companies can alter, edit, remove and even destroy films and shows based on how they feel about the subject matter at the time. Everyone should curate a physical film collection of their own before it’s too late.
Kua’Aina.
I was in Tokyo recently and stumbled across it late after drinking with friends. I typically go for Ramen or Kushikatsu, but the idea of a burger really appealed to me that night. It was lovely
I haven’t trusted any sort of announcement regarding SW for a while now. Too many projects are dangled in front of fans only to sit on the shelf and gather dust.
I’ll probably watch it sometime for the Tangerine Dream score alone.
The soundtrack is great.
Last night I finally watched The Sorcerer (1977) after a friend recommended it to me. A very enjoyable, nail biter of a film. If you haven’t seen it yourself I recommend you check it out.
★★★★★★★★☆☆
I remember reading that despite a positive response from audiences and critics alike, the movie was box office failure.
Well at the time of its release it was both a critical and commercial flop, but since then it has been re-evaluated and has been hailed as a overlooked masterpiece from the 70s. The director William Friedkin said in the bonus interview on the disc that it was released around the same time as Star Wars, and that film just buried Sorcerer.
I’m glad I was able to see it the old fashioned way, a friend recommending a film, reminds me of the way I used to find new music, someone in the record shop you’re familiar with hands you a album and goes “You might like this, it’s pretty cool”. I went in with no expectations and found a gem.

Had the prequels not been so reliant on CGI characters and digital sets before the technology was ready, as well had a tighter script I imagine I’d of enjoyed them a lot more. They certainly had a few good moments but ultimately failed. Although I still like them more than the sequels.
(And the Clone Wars animated series is top notch, finally working my way through it now)
Today I realised that my entire collection of Star Wars is little more than this box of Blue Rays, at one point I had the original trilogy on VHS, books, graphic novels, posters, SNES games, a few of the original Kenner figures (Vader, R2-D2, Luke, Obi-Wan, Storm Troopers from Hoth and Endor), but over the years and moving from place to place they have all vanished at one point or other.
I’m kinda sad about that 😢
Also, the box is no longer accurate, thanks for nothing Disney! 😆
I tried to make some of these last night, but I think the tofu was perhaps a little too firm, so it didn’t blend right, and after 9 of them I gave up and remade it into a spaghetti sauce.
Korean meatballs sound well nice. Will take a pop at these tomorrow if I get the chance.
^ that is some great artwork ! Dark Horse published spectacular Manga editions of all three OT films . Someone should start a Dark Horse Star Wars comics thread ! 😃
I used to love Dark Horse back in the day. I should see what they’ve been putting out of late next time I visit my local comic shop.
Those covers by James Yusufi are spot on. I can almost feel the cheap newsprint they’d of been printed on back in the day.
The original Marvel run was great, not perfect, but well worth a read. I’m currently trying to track down a copy of Shin-ichi Hiromoto’s manga adaptation of RotJ. The art looks great from what I’ve seen online.
I just polished off some Chicken Katsu curry I had leftover from yesterday. It was delicious.
^ That is one superb username!
Why thank you (I used a SW name generator back in the day for this fan comic that never went anywhere)
The Force Unleashed was a lot of addictive fun, I may have to have give that another go soon 😃
I saw that it is part of the big Christmas sale on Steam right now. I’m going to pick it up (and maybe the sequel even though I’ve heard mixed reviews for that one). It’ll tide me over till Fallen Order comes down in price.
Hello, I’m new here. I just found out about the project and I’m very happy that such a place like this exists. I’ve owned SW in one format or the other since the days of VHS, but it wasn’t until I saw a video on YouTube discussing the Despecialized project that I realised I’ve never seen this film in its original form!
I love the original trilogy, kinda enjoy the prequels, think the 3D animated Clone Wars show was great, played the Force Unleashed waaaaay too much, want to try the new Jedi Fallen Order game as it looks fun, and have enjoyed what I’ve seen of the Mandalorian so far.
Cheers!
