Kelly’s Heroes (1970)

Battle Royale (2000)

Monty Python & The Holy Grail (1975)

From Russia With Love (1963)

I have a tendency to listen to movie soundtracks long before I have any intention to actually watch/buy said movie.

Spiderman Homecoming (2017):

It’s okay.

Sorry, what?

I have grown to like Teen Titans Go simply because it shits on people who actually take a children’s cartoon seriously.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986):

Very funny film.

Glad to be of service.

Because the Avengers films have had such memorable music?

Be thankful I didn’t say Hans Zimmer or Tyler Bates lol.

If John Williams was suddenly unable to compose music for the next film for whatever reason, my first choice for a replacement would probably be Alan Silvestri. John Ottman wouldn’t be bad either.

WHY?!?!?!

Hahaha, why does he look like Oscar Isaac as Apocolyse?

Wonder Woman (2017):

I can’t wait for the inevitable complaints about this somehow being “feminist propaganda” like what happened to TFA. Overall, it was good enough for me, but I could’ve done without the whole Wonder Woman vs British-guy-who-builds-his-own-armour-out-of-runway-wreckage fight scene at the end (I’m assuming that’s some DC villain from the comics I haven’t heard of). I’m just goddamn tired of these superhero movies ending with a blue laser being fired.

The Thing (1982):

Hard to believe this actually received so many negative reviews at the time.

Pryde of The X Men: (“X Meeeen! X MEEEEN!”)

Very interesting indeed, cheesier (especially the theme song) and more heavy handed than the actual series that followed it but still enjoyable enough on it’s own. The animation is much more consistent and better overall than TAS however, and a lot better than most 80s cartoons in general which usually had awesome openings and lackluster animation for the actual episodes themselves. Although one thing that did bother me was that Kitty Pryde states that she’s 14 years old yet looks like she’s in her twenties, what’s up with that?

I also decided to check out a few episodes of Wolverine and The X Men for the first time since it first aired in '09. I would say it’s better in places like animation, voice acting and character designs than TAS but I think TAS is just more entertaining as a show.

“Hooray! We’ve done it! Hahaha!”

“Look!”

“It isn’t even dented!”

“Ah shit! What are we gonna do now?”

INFO DUMP

• The 1980 film Raise The Titanic originally featured an opening sequence depicting the sinking of the Titanic, the sequence would’ve been 12 minutes long. The scene was dropped from the final film and replaced by a photo montage with John Barry’s score over it. The deleted footage resurfaced years later and was used in an episode of the TV show Voyagers (1982-1983), considering the show used the Queen Mary to portray the Titanic its hard to believe they would have the budget to construct a miniature as complex as those seen in Raise The Titanic.

Rough recreation using footage from the Voyagers episode can be found here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K7PyYj8gLcM

• Currously, the same episode uses what looks like rear screen projection background plate footage of the bow view of the iceberg from the 1953 Titanic film (I say background plate because the foreground set and actor are not seen in frame). There is also a bit of deleted footage from the 53 film as the underwater shot of the ship’s hull hitting the iceberg is taken from the 53 film but has been extended by several seconds, indicating the shot in the original 53 film was intended to be longer.

• In the 1979 made for TV move SOS Titanic, the movie uses unused miniature effects shots from A Night To Remember (1958) but colourises all of the footage in order to fit footage shot for the movie. It is clear the footage is alternate takes and not footage ripped from the 58 film because the placement of lifeboat miniatures and amount of steam radiating from the Titanic’s funnels is different between each movie. There was a website I found a few years back detailing the differences in footage between each movie, but I can’t seem to find it anymore.

I must be one of the few Trek fans who doesn’t absolutely loathe the TMP uniforms.

I don’t hate them either, although I don’t particularly like seeing Stephen Collins’ cock bulge either.

Watched Alien for the sixth time since I first got it on DVD, I don’t think Ridley Scott could possibly make a prequel even half as good as the first one. Which is not to say I think Covenant is a bad movie because I haven’t seen it (the only review I’ve read of it was the 4/4 star one on RogerEbert.com), I simply saw the first trailer and thought it looked trash so I avoided it.
