Naïve Old Fart 11,016 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Zoikes! The big 2-0 since Eccleston said "Run!" with that huge cheeky grin all over his boat race.

Tallguy 5,032 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 nuWho is now as old as Original Who was when I started watching. We just watched The Sixth Sense (as I mentioned) and that's older. (The Phantom Menace, The Iron Giant, The Matrix all in that cohort.) (We really need to watch The Matrix as a fam. We watched John Wick on Christmas.) I imagine sometime this year we'll have a 40th anniversary watch of Back to the Future. (I'm sure we'll watch all three.) Heh. I went to the 10th anniversary Star Wars convention and that was a BIG DEAL. This year Age of Ultron will be ten! It's nothing! (Of course the difference between having a five year old and a fifteen year old is staggering.) EDIT: Ten years is nothing. I still love Age of Ultron.

bollemanneke 3,814 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Blade runner. Harrison Ford is really overrated, at least based on what I can gather from his performances. If he’s not playing Indy or Solo, all he does is mumble in that same bored voice. Roy saving Ford in the end is really weird, as is his theatrical dialogue throughout that whole chase sequence. Ford’s behaviour towards Rachel is disturbing. The pacing of the director’s cut was really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a 10/10 film for me, Washington and Freeman, and even Broderick is great, and Horner’s score, though a bit repetitive, is fantastic. I love sentimental heroic films like GLORY.

Andy 5,573 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Brandon Routh must have similar ancestry with Christopher Reeve. My God, the timbre of his voice is uncannily similar. He looks like Reeve, he sounds like Reeve. And he has charisma. I know Superman Returns had major problems, but none of that had to do with him. Such a shame he didn’t get more films as Superman. Oh, and this was an atypical Hallmark movie. I liked it. Not for Cat haters. They made a sequel 7 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 2,447 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The thing is these Alfred Hitchcock classics in 4k have horrible packaging! I have seen 2 of these, and both froze and pixelated (while I had wiped them in the first place). I took them out and wiped them again, and problem solved.
