Spider-Man: Homeless

Huh huh. You said blow. 

Or without a silent clock! Looking at you, Tony Almeida. 

I found it super easy to binge this season over the weekend because I thought it was going to be ten episodes, for some reason. So once shit wrapped up in S8, I was surprised there was only about twenty minutes of denouement left in the season. 
 
The person mentioned at the very end could be one of three people, so it doesn't necessarily need to be the obvious one. 
 
I was shipping those two all season so when it was revealed, I didn't see it coming. 
 
Mike is more and more unlikeable as the show progresses. 

Yea buddy, he did now. Why so mad bro? 

They already did. Home Alone 3 and 4 are remakes with the same premise, but completely different casts. One was DTV.

The Thin Red Line is a masterpiece of audiovisual storytelling. It’s not quite New World or Tree Of Life levels of Malick, and should be accessible to most. 

Sony's own expansion of Dances with Wolves is really more than enough!

The internet has what you seek.

John Williams scored Star Wars and The Force Awakens.

JWfan, as you know, means "friendship" 
 
 
 
 
Many too many.

Wow! 

All over Twitter it's Data this, Data that. I'd like to forget about B4 as much as the next guy, but it still happened. 

Aww nuts. 
 
I will watch Ladyhawke at some point in remembrance. 

I nominate the under-appreciated 'The Haunting' for that category
 
 

Yes, but they will call it The Cauldron to avoid offending minorities and the prejudiced. 

In 2002 I attended a Lucasfilm event in Hollywood where Rick McCallum and Fred someone from ILM explained the evolution from 35mm film in 1977 to digital capture on Ep 2 in 2000.
 
One of the things they went into detail about was the evolution of the laser film printer, a machine which could print out new camera negative.
 
It was developed in the 80's and 90's to improve the quality of CGI images on 35mm - in '77 all the CGI (i.e. the Death Star plans) was captured by pointing a film camera at a computer screen and filming it one frame at a time.
 
In 1996 FOX decided to do a 20th anniversary rerelease of Star Wars.  Lucas went into the vaults and struck a new print from the OCN and was shocked at how much the image had degraded.  (They showed the first few minutes of this print at the 2002 event.  It did not have the "Episode IV A New Hope" subtitle in the crawl.)  The print was dark, murky, and pretty much unwatchable.  
 
The decision was made to scan the entire original camera negative (OCN) into a computer, repair the image digitally, and then print out a new negative using the laser printer.  Since they were scanning the whole film in anyways, GL then decided to upgrade shots that he was never happy with, using CGI.  This was how CGI shots were done in Jurassic Park, for example - CGI laid over 35mm images scanned into a computer.
 
Once this decision was made, it was then decided to shoot new elements for the stormtroopers in the desert, and resurrect the lost Jabba the Hutt scene with Harrison Ford.  Searching the vaults revealed that the OCN for the Jabba sequence was gone.  The only thing they could find was a work print of the scene, complete with edits and editorial markings on the film (grease pencil indications of dissolves, etc).  So they scanned the rough cut into the computer, did repair work digitally, then added CGI Jabba over the top of the human stand-in.
 
The point of all this is that the OCN for the 77 version of Star Wars still exists.  The "OCN" of the SE is actually a new negative printed out in '97 from the digitally repaired scan of the OCN  from '77 with CGI additions.  In fact, they made several OCNs of this version of the movie, and struck theatrical prints from them, which essentially made every 35mm print of the SE 2 generations closer to the OCN since they skipped the inter-positive/inter-negative steps.
 
In 2006 when the original versions of the first 3 movies were put on DVD in non-anamorphic widescreen, Lucasfilm's press comments clouded the issue because, in an effort to fend off angry fans, GL told vague half-truths about the original version not existing anymore, when in truth, it's just that the '77 OCN is in terrible shape and would need to be restored all over again for any anamorphic release.  
 
So, in conclusion, the 1977 OCN of Star Wars still exists.  It's just in terrible shape.
 

I've created a composite set with both this, the Legacy set and the 1994 OST, binning the 2019 versions of the songs in favour of their much stronger-sounding originals while combining the score material I feel is strongest from both sets. Because of this, it contains a couple of the themes left out of the 2019 score (at least in its OST representation).
