  • Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets After 20 years, I´m starting to understand Nick Mason´s drumming.
  • What´s the big fuss about? We had Predators not too long ago, so there´s no need to be melodramatic now. As long as they don´t put Black on a leash, I´m absolutely fine with this. I like Iron Man 3, but compared to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang it feels as i…
  • http://www.filmstarts.de/nachrichten/18486608.html Sorry I only found this on a German site. It says German distributor Splendid Film acquired the rights to Rambo 5. They say Stallone will do the script and views the project as his version of No…
  • @SJK91, thanks for posting that information! You should write books. I have no issue with black bars whatsoever, yet I found your post highly readable.
  • Ok @NapoleonPlural, here´s a decision for you: Get the fourth cheapest flat screen, at least 50", and take two weeks off to tune the picture. If the picture isn´t halfway decent after four days of fiddling, return the tv and take another one. ;-) …
  • I watched the video. To me, it could mean either he´s lost interest in Bond, or his work is so welcome by Eon he´s trying to raise his salary for Bond 25.

  • Fleming used expressions or elements of all kinds of beliefs to bring something supernatural to his stories, but he did so very superficially, and purely for entertainment. Like adding a few dashes of a certain color to a painting. Not to give it mo…

  • I´m so glad there are still pople out there who know how to write some decent dialogue: "What´re ya going to do?" "Reload." Even if that trailer were showing all the best scenes, I will still go and watch it. Can´t wait!
  • Suivez_ce_parachute wrote: Nolan made his first movie on B&W 16 mm, before going into IMAX. Cameron first did a a 16mm teaser to find investors for his first 35mm short movie. And I'm just talking about the latest directors whose names are ass…
  • Getafix wrote: I read an interview with Tarantino the other day and he said that film as he understands it is dead. He regards digital as 'TV on a big screen'. Fair enough, but then again who´s he? That´s just a wild statement to build on his…
  • Getafix wrote: nobodydoesitbetter wrote: I personally don't have clue what the difference is. Something I've noticed, which is probably totally unrelated, is that when you watch a film in HD on TV it really loses that 'cinematic' quality. It f…
  • nobodydoesitbetter wrote: I think one aspect that a lot of people forget about is calibrating the tv to get the best picture possible. A lot of people take their new expensive tv out of the box connect the br player and away they go. Recently some…

  • OHMSS69 wrote: The post about Bond versus Al Queda got me to thinking. I looked back at the recent films and franchises and it seems that everyone is shying away from portraying the Chinese as the bad asses. Hear me out here, The Die Hard films…

  • Agent007391 wrote: Seriously, though, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, I think there were reports that Cyborg would be in it as well, why do we have both a Batman V Superman and a Justice League movie? Why not? Probably B v S is going…
  • Creasy47 wrote: I love Frank Grillo, but I hate the idea of a remake to 'The Raid.' I can already guarantee it won't be as good as the original, as remakes usually aren't. It´s a safe bet that that original won´t be topped. Except maybe by it…
  • @00Beast, take your time. I had the CDs lying around for about five years before I got back to them, and during the next five years of listening to them I slowly discovered gem after gem, and I don´t think I´m finished. In the beginning I used to li…

  • Has anyone noticed that kind of snorkling nosey sound at around 5:30 in Led Zeppelin´s For your Life? I just now noticed it, even though I´ve been listening to them for about 5 years now. I love them for having all kinds of odd background noises on …
  • I thought the performances were really good, the actors got me hooked to the screen all the time. I got a bit bored with the superpowers though. Time for me to have a Marvel break perhaps. At least until Guardians of the Galaxy ;-). Some of the ac…
