  • Yakuza 0 Between the Disco, Karaoke and Mahjong mini games, doesn't look like I will be getting the platinum after all. I just can't get my head around Mahjong. And as much I don't like the Karaoke mini game, I really don't like Disco one. Oh well,…

  • Desert Heat (1999) This is very strange for a 90's Van Damme film. There's a spiritual angle, but it doesn't entirely come through and there's an awkward humour. I am not that surprised to learn there was possibly a longer workprint in the possessi…
  • It doesn't make any difference to Bond fans, as the Bond already died, but Big Chief Studios has now ceased trading. It is with heavy heart that I must inform our customers that despite our best efforts Big Chief Studios, the Company, has been fo…

  • Disney might have decided that making DOD figures would be pointless, if they're are only going to end up as peg warmers.
  • From one bit of sadomasochism to another (I forgot that I had been doing this)... It's what you'd expect from a late 2000's Seagal. In decline, and about to enter an even steeper decline. ---The Good 1. Under Siege (1992) 2. Nico (1988) …
  • I would have preferred an ambiguous ending (doesn't have to be YOLT - I would only want the YOLT ending used if the next film opens with the TMWTGG opening). That at least would sort out my issue(s) with the ending. But that still leaves us with an …
  • Hayworth & Ford reunite for this film, 6 years after Gilda. and... I have never watched the Hellraiser films all that regularly, so I don't know when I saw one last. But rewatching this original, what struck me most, was how well the pra…
  • He was also Jimmy in The Equalizer. Usually complaining about his ex-wife. RIP
  • As ugly as the '2011 Unpleasantness' was, the one good thing it did, was to show the true colours of the KTBEU userbase. Those that could be relied upon to stick around, did, and in their own way, roll up their sleeves and help rebuild the forum big…
  • If they weren't the recent watered down editions of the Fleming books, and considering that they would be new editions... I'd buy them. Moreso if they were Hardbacks. Though I have multiple copies of each book, I am always on the look out for more.
  • The Technomancer From the same developers as Bound By Flame, Spiders. Another RPG, but this one is a Sci-Fi RPG, set on Mars. Spiders do love their Explosive Traps. I can't remember if there were any in Greedfall.
  • Many thanks @Benny, @Dragonpol, @CommanderRoss and @Creasy47 And congratulations on your 17th anniversary, @CommanderRoss. <:-P
  • 2 days ago, I hit a milestone of 18 years on the forum. As The Chairman once sang; "It's been a very good 18 years." Thank you to everyone that has made MI6 the best forum on the internet.

  • I was with it up until the wheels came off near the end. Though Anya Taylor-Joy continues to impress in what I have seen of her so far. And matt Smith is a real piece of work in this.

  • I haven't seen the other two films, though I have seen their trailers. Barbie looks like some throwaway fluff, and Oppenheimer look like it is guaranteed big award nominations, regardless of its box office.

  • @dalton - That matches with what I had spoiled, that and clips of the film I have since seen. (Spoiler)
  • TLD. Though LTK still has the best action of any Bond film. SP might hold the record for largest actual explosion, but doesn't look as impressive as the explosions during the Tanker chase. How? And Sanchez is a better villain that what TLD has to…
