  • @PeterGreenhill, the titles conform with the EMI album, but not the samples. Doesn´t matter much legally, I guess, if the soundtrack is lifted off the Laser Disc. If I was sure it´s going to be released in October I guess I would order it. Just …
  • Well perhaps that doc will be released on DVD after broadcasting? Would make sense wouldn´t it? Everything that´s broadcast on tv is released on DVD after. Ah well, one shouldn´t make a religion out of it, there are too many of those already.

  • 5 for Craig, yeah! \m/
  • It started when I found out, while accidentally listening to I love it loud by Kiss, that Hard Rock has, totally contrary to my mother´s opinion, lots of beautiful melodies ad isn´t noise at all. Pretty soon I got a mixtape from a schoolfriend of m…
  • The Expendables 2. I´m tempted to give 11/10. I don´t know if I was depressive before or something, but I have never seen a film that offers such a big polarity between braindead and totally entertaining. The enormous cast is used to much good effe…
  • Yep, nice one, @CraterGuns. I will have no problem spending some time over there. Thanks.

  • Having seen it twice now, I must say the Total Recall remake is better than it is. DAD. Indy4. Resident Evil 4 wasn´t bad, was it?

  • Just thinking about the project lifts my testosterone level.

  • You give the exact words to my very sentiments, @thelivingroyale. The Road Warrior is an impressionistic masterpiece. I´m very much looking forward to this incarnation. I can´t remember right now where I saw them, but the vehicles so far presente…
  • There we have it: A nice open ending, stimulating the brain to think :-bd .
  • Muddyw wrote: These covers are really ugly! I'd prefer the original poster draw lay outs. That would've been the best hommage to classic Bond. I find it a bit pathetic how most covers suddenly show Bond in a CR/QOS pose. But, as @Shardlake p…
  • Well, technically he could use the equipment and the Batcave (Robincave?) Bruce Wayne left for him and still act as Robin. But that would defeat the idea of Batman being a symbol, more than just a man.
  • Anyhow, Bruce Wayne prepared everything for someone to take over as Batman, otherwise he wouldn´t have installed a new Klieg light with the Bat symbol. And he clearly invited Blake to take over the part, by sending him the bag with the GPS coordinat…
  • Sorry I haven´t read the whole thread. Did anyone yet mention how the quality of the br is in comparison to the dvd?
  • Sir Rog´s humor is unbeatable :)) . I also love what he said on some other occasion about his Bond and Craig´s Bond, "I was a lover, he is a killer."

  • @4EverBonded you should try and watch Jackie Chan in Chinese, even if you don´t understand what he´s saying. Firstly, Jackie Chan in Chinese is fun to listen to, and secondly, his Hong Kong films are much much better than anything he did in the US. …
  • I found it very much ok, not the epitome of originality, but enjoyable for sure. I agree with @Bounine that the last half hour is a bit hard to follow, but it doesn´t matter too much, the story in this film stands clearly back behind the action a…
