  • Nice occupation. Up my street there´s a father-son team who every now and then have some old grandeur parked in front of the house and are tinkering on it. I saw a Rolls, a Maserati, and one or two others. Apparently they fix and sell them. I hav…

  • What I don´t appreciate very much is that those blu ray covers disregarded the values of the old films by having every Bond have a Craig-like posture or face, as if they couldn´t stand on their own.
  • Paddington Bear trailer! That bathtub thing was a bit over the top, but the rest looks funnier than I thought!

  • Vroom Vroom - a fantastic live double album of King Crimson´s double trio version :-). http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/191/cover_5982317112009.jpg Did I mention we had a Lamborghini exhibition in a local museu…

  • Creasy47 wrote: But...it's still time-travel. You can't add realism to it because it already doesn't make sense. I'm sure I'm negating myself with it, but when I watch T1 and 2, I try not to think about it too much, I just let the movie take me wh…
  • Creasy47 wrote: Watch T1, then T2, then stop. ;-) Seriously, though, I did that two days ago and it was perfect. It all starts, flows, and ends on a very perfect note. By continuing after that, you pretty much negate everything that Cameron jus…
  • With all the discussion about CGI, I must say that the rear projection near the end of Terminator nowadays throws me off more than any effect in T3 ore T4, as tense and absolutely genius as the rest of the film is. The eye removal looks like a model…

  • Creasy47 wrote: @boldfinger, I've read two early (very early) reviews of the film (which, apparently, 'Cyber' might just be a working title, and the film could be called 'Black Hat'), and they say that just because the film is a look into cyber te…
  • Master_Dahark wrote: That Hugh Jackman was a star from the minute he showed up on screen! It is sort of funny seeing him shirtless in the first movie- he almost looks like an ordinary guy compared to Days of Future Past! Hard to believe he was…
  • Finally, a first (set) foto from Michael Mann´s upcoming Cyber. I see guys in bullet-proof vests holding guns, and an industrial harbor background, so it looks like Mann is playing it safe this time. Which I find great, since Mann´s crime thrillers…

  • As for aspect ratio, pretty much any tv you get to buy these days should have a number of zoom options, which accordingly will reduce black borders, cut off parts of the picture in order to have no black borders, or stretch the picture until there i…

  • In Japan there are locations where one can see the sea while skiing alpine slopes. I could imagine some gorgeous background landscapes like that, with Craig skiing through dashing sunshine. Perhaps something like that could also be done in a Skandin…
