Chapek and Kennedy were solely responsible for killing off Han Leia Luke and deciding fans didnt want a familiar Tatooine at Disney World. Or in the Galactic Starcruiser.

Their horrendous decisions have gutted the franchise and a number of insiders on X disclosed the specifics over the last week ...

Couple of new column announcements (I have a long week coming up so wanted to post while I have the time!):

-4/28 column has Kino Lorber's latest including REMO WILLIAMS, THE PHANTOM, UFOria and HOUSE CALLS, plus THE SUBSTITUTE, SLEEPERS, RUNNING MAN and much more:

*Live on Fri 4/26:

I dont really feel this casting but....

"It's ok there's another theater shutting its doors nearby, we're going to be saved after all!"

Huge LOL at animated "CLASSIC" according to the geniuses at Variety

Pretty to easy to recon when nobody watched half of it :lol:

Though I do agree with one of the Doomcock friends -- bringing back Evans and Hemsworth is great and all, but if this is LAST JEDI/FORCE AWAKENS territory and you're paying huge salaries out JUST TO KILL THEM OFF and piss off the ...

Imprint has their latest now up for ordering, but you can save a few dollars by nabbing them from either of these vendors who I recommend:

https://www.orbitdvd.com/ - Free shipping on 3 titles

https://www.atomicmoviestore.com/ - Free shipping over $60

Agree totally Ed, the CASINO song is pretty good and there's thematic content there which, you're right, the score doesn't incorporate enough of in terms of the melody line. I think the song really lost a lot by Cornell screaming his lungs out at the end, soured a lot of listeners.

This is actually ...

Arnold apparently just worked on the song -- added this in the press release:

"The music of James Bond has always been a huge part of its identity," Arnold said in a press statement. "A title song has to tell us about the world we are about to enter into. It has to intrigue, excite, and beckon us ...

Runs rings around Billie English and Sam whatever his name was!

Better than nothing...actually good to know he's still around and active with the series.

After the last few horrendous Bond songs, this isnt terrible either (Arnold cowrote it as you can tell plainly tell from the "chorus" and orchestra):

HOUSE CALLS (1978)
8/10

https://www.hometheaterforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/housecalltop2.jpg

Consistently funny vehicle for Walter Matthau, who plays a doctor and recent widower who spars with, then (of course) falls for new fellow hospital employee Glenda Jackson in a popular Universal ...

UFORIA (1981-85)
6/10

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZDQxODM2NGMtNTVhYy00MDViLWI0MzQtMmM1ZTY1ODM4Y2UzXkEyXkFqcGc@._V1_.jpg

An early Fred Ward performance highlights John Binder’s cult movie UFORIA (91 mins., 1981/85, PG; Kino Lorber), with the actor playing one of several colorful ...

THE SUBSTITUTE (1996)
7/10

https://themindreels.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/berenhudsonsub.jpg

Spring ‘96 box-office sleeper turned a decent profit on a modest budget, thanks mostly to director Robert Mandel (“F/X”) for fashioning a solid action yarn out of a formulaic story.

Tom Berenger ...

I agree with all that -- but those people who don't explore shouldn't be "historians" KL hires to do commentaries. Literally I was floored listening to Reesman spout out one IMDB/Wikipedia factoid after another, before Max Evry was all "Charley Varrick is one of his best movies." And Reesman said ...

I have to say, I'm not offended, but this still is the most unappealing ad campaign I think I've seen for any movie, ever. Who came up with this? The last intern they have working at Warner Bros. who's job is to usually keep the lights working?
