Re: Dwayne pees in bottles, causes $50 million budget increase
I was wondering what was holding this up...crazy but typical. This kind of thing with certain big stars happens all the time, but Amazon/MGM, not used to paying for movies of this nature, probably had zero control.

Re: rate the last movie you saw
I don't think any film before or since is as visually-imaginative or arresting. There's not a more influential film from a visual standpoint than this one. Not in my lifetime, and perhaps not ever. Even watching this film today is like stepping into its own aesthetic. It's not a film from 1982, it'...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
The film stars Jason Statham (you know what you're in for right there) as a reclusive beekeeper with (of course) a "mysterious past", who sets about avenging a friend who has been robbed of her entire life savings by phone scammers. The premise is basically cribbed from The Equalizer , bu...

LUCKY LADY (1975) & WHO IS KILLING THE GREAT CHEFS OF EUROPE (1978) Coming on Blu-Ray in Germany
Surprise first ever HD release of LUCKY LADY, the infamous 70s big studio disappointment (you wonder how it's coming out since it's a Fox title I believe even there), plus the good natured George Segal/Jackie Bissett/Robert Morley comic mystery... https://media1.jpc.de/image/w340/front/0/42501243726...

Tom Scott's Rejected FLETCH Score
Saw Tom Scott's name on the Fletch trailer as I watched the new Kino Lorber Blu-Ray, and came across this podcast from a few months back where he talked about scoring the film and having it tossed. Honestly...I prefer the Faltermeyer score and the classic theme song he wrote...but it's interesting h...

Re: SUPERGIRL (1984) and METEOR (1979) - Improved German Blu-Rays
SUPERGIRL finally flew in. Again, Plaion/Koch has done a solid job. Additional extras like the US Tri-Star trailers are on here too, while the transfer on the 125-min version looks a hair better than the Warner US disc. The Director's Cut has been nicely upgraded, if those shots are upscaled you'd b...

Re: Jerry Seinfeld: "Movie Business Is Over"
I do think prognostications of doom are a bit exaggerated tho -- I don't think the cinema will become completely extinct. Live theater still exists despite predictions that "talkies" would render live performance obsolete. However, the theater certainly isn't what it was before movies cam...

Jerry Seinfeld: "Movie Business Is Over"
It might seem like a reach but the more you dive into his comments, he's right. Film doesn't have the impact it once did socially or culturally. When was the last time you even ran into a relative or friend who WENT to a movie? Instead I've run into more people over the last year in casual conversat...

Given the property it better not cost even half that.

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Apparently the 2nd half of that takes even MORE liberties with the source material than the first part!

Re: KINDERGARTEN COP - Kino Lorber 4K UHD Incoming
The art of cinematography is mostly dead and buried in the digital age. Everything mostly looks glossy and very much the same. It's why you go back to movies from decades ago and just the look of them is, as you said MJ, interesting and different.
