filmmusic 1,827 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I don't know if anyone is interested in something like this, but Thunderbirds are go, and Thunderbird 6 (1966/1968) are coming in Bluray from Twilight Time in a limited edition of 3000. (May 2014)Haven't seen the movies myself, but i had watched some TV episodes in my childhood and I'm all for it!! Here's the trailer for the 2nd movie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,520 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I saw "Thunderbirds Are Go!" at the cinema, when I was yea high. Silva Screen issued both scores, I think.I'd love to watch them again, because I think that "Thunderbirds" has such a strong moral centre.I put them in the same class as the two Cushing Dr. Who movies: interesting curios, but with enough originality to make all four of them worth watching.Now, if only Silva would release the 2-disc "U.F.O."...

He got it he says because we have all the other Superman films, he disliked MoS perhaps more than I but he will give it another shot.. We both thought Bad Grandpa was one hilarious film. I think my next Bluray purchase will be The Blue Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 For the sake of chat is the neck-break the main reason you hate it?it's the main reason everyone I know who hates the movie, and that includes every live person I know who saw it ( I do not know anyone outside internet folk who liked it). It was the hugely discussed here last summer. I disliked the extreme lack of chemistry between Superman and Lois, and the endless destruction.Omg another skyscraper just collapsed.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm totally fine with Superman killing for the greater good. Twice he's killed Zod to put an end to global human threat, but the killing in MoS was more satisfying than the amusing dispatch of Terence Stamp purely because it was brutal and therefore felt more decisive, like an unavoidable elimination. It told me that at that point in his genesis Superman is prepared to be executioner when all else fails. Perhaps in the next film he learns to control his primal instincts and discovers within himself a new maturity which teaches him to resolve matters more pragmatically (and with far less collateral damage). Btw apparently in internetland (that small digital cubby hole used by a miniscule handful of Western civilisation) MoS has quite the respectable following, and isn't as near universally hated as Joey likes to make out. http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0770828/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah what was Superman supposed to do, let Zod shoot his eye beams at those people and kill them? He tried to reason with him before and that didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 What happened to the wholesome black and white perception that dictates heroes don't kill?! How do we distinguish the good from the bad if our heroes are no better than the foes they battle? No, filmmakers must obey one of the ten rules of great moviemaking: Thy white knight shalt not kill.Alex - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Um, the scene of the Phantom Zone trio being taken into custody was a deleted scene from the theatrical cut, only shown in some TV versions. So in the Lester cut, they die. In the Donner cut, the time turner undoes the entire movie, willing them back to life, but as we've seen from history, a resurrection doesn't forgive a murder.

A24 4,331 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I didn't like how that film was shot. Very dark (the entire film) and too low on contrast. Even the trailer for the Blu-ray doesn't look good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 1,827 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yes, I agree it was too dark (maybe the Bluray has greater clarity than watching it in a DVD and from the trailer it seems it does), but I guess it was a stylistic approach to depict the dark times of that period..But for me it's one of the most visually impressive period films! (This and 1990's Cyrano. I love them!! Also wish for an English friendly Bluray of Cyrano)It always reminds me of paintings of that era.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
