  • I do wonder if we'll ever see the day where CGI is completely indistinguishable from real life footage. @brinkeguthrie, I think most of these special editions, steelbooks and whatnot are typically blu-ray/4K exclusive. I rarely see them for DVD a…

  • I upgraded to 4K several years ago and will probably stop there. I'll never have the money for a really proper home theater or anything of the sort so I imagine this is as good as it's going to get. Even still, I don't upgrade everything I own on bl…

  • Guys, I think we jinxed Jourdan by praising his performance in the game so far the other day. As Le Chiffre would say: oops.

  • OK, nobody took over and I'm finished up with work so I'll get a new one posted in just a couple minutes. EDIT: Here we go, should be very easy this go around.
  • Tony Dow's death has now been confirmed: https://deadline.com/2022/07/tony-dow-dead-leave-it-to-beaver-actor-was-77-1235077948/
  • Thank you, boys! @DarthDimi, I indeed have chosen to try the rest out. I watched The Brides of Dracula this morning and also enjoyed it, but Lee's presence was sorely missed. I'm happy to see the series doesn't instantly drop off after the first.…

  • I'm finally caught up in full now and I have to admit, the show feels like it's finally back on track to me. The twists involving the city, the endless questions about the nature of reality, the embittered and pensive battle the Host MiB now has wit…

  • I thought for sure we'd get one in the (long) run-up to NTTD, so seeing that it's still unlikely (unless they're keeping their cards held tightly to their chest) for the 60th anniversary is pretty underwhelming. Barring a big surprise or an unexpect…

  • That looks worth the price, at least, too bad it's Region B locked. Yes, if we were getting the rest of the series in 4K, it would've leaked or popped up elsewhere by now. It's almost August.
  • Yeah I didn't see any major charisma from him in the film as has been alluded to by the Russos and others. I know everyone raves about that Netflix series he's in so maybe he showcases it better in that.

  • Absolutely. It's been one of my most anticipated films since I first heard about it, I'm sure Fraser's going to be fantastic as usual and give an award-winning performance. I'm glad he's getting the resurgence in Hollywood he deserves.
  • I finally saw Horror of Dracula and quite enjoyed it! I couldn't decide if I was digging Cushing's ultra cool performance as Dr. Van Helsing or Lee's portrayal of Dracula more. I could've done with a bit more bloodshed and chaos, but all in all, a p…
  • First look at Brendan Fraser in Darren Aronofsky's The Whale:
  • Excellent! Thought I nailed it with those overalls at first. I've got work shortly and a few things to do beforehand so first in best dressed can start the next round if they'd like.
