    Star Wars Dark Forces Remastered

    Anybody playing this? I think they’ve done a great job of remastering this while retaining all the glorious cheesiness of the graphics and midi music of the original. The original version of this game was the PC game that brought me into the modern (well at that time anyway) world of first...

    M. Emmet Walsh RIP

    Another great character actor passes … So great in Blade Runner, Blood Simple, Raising Arizona (I’ll never forget that s#!t in one hand scene) and many many more … https://deadline.com/2024/03/m-emmet-walsh-dead-blade-runner-actor-1235864005/

    The Fall Guy (2024)

    Surprised no one has posted this, really looking forward to this. I loved the tv show as a kid, not that this will be much of anything like that and Gosling and Blunt seem like a great pairing. https://www.slashfilm.com/1538766/the-fall-guy-incredible-car-stunt-broke-hollywood-record-sxsw/

    Streaming services

    I thought this was truly bizarre and completely appropriate for the direction that digital technology is heading. The Australian streaming service Binge recently, finally, after years started to get 4K content which I was happy about. I started to watch the new series of True Detective but when...

    Andre Braugher RIP

    This is an actor I loved twice over. The first time was when someone recommended to me Homicide: Life On The Street when it was first airing. A great show and yet he still stood out and was instantly truly remarkable to me. The second one hurts much more. My kids and I became huge fans of...

    Filmmakers selections on TCM

    Finally some sensible decisions from Zaslav, rehiring people to TCM and the instigaters of all this, Spielberg, Scorsese and PTA, get to curate their own mini festivals. Spielberg’s picks are solid but fairly predictable, Scorsese’s and PTA’s are much more interesting, haven’t seen any of...

    RIP William Friedkin

    The French Connection The Exorcist To Live And Die In LA Sure he made a lot of rubbish but that right there is an incredible legacy to leave behind. I had the great opportunity to see him speak live introducing the underrated Sorceror (terrible title though) and he’s every bit as an arrogant...

    Mark Margolis RIP

    What an absolutely incredible career this guy had. No idea he worked under Stella Adler and had been working for six decades! And for me Hector Salamanca is his defining moment and hope he is still dinging that bell like crazy...

    Napoleon

    Surprised no one has posted this. I am not much of a fan of Phoenix and doubting his portrayal but otherwise this looks magnificent. I was worried that after the failure of the great The Last Duel, Scott might not get another chance but here we are and with Gladiator 2 on the way. Keep em coming...

    Norman Reynolds RIP

    I don’t think it can be explained sufficiently how important Norman Reynolds was to Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and lots of other films as well. His work was so ambitious but never overwhelmed the films and the characters, and the work had a clean style to them that never felt cluttered and...

    RIP Angelo Badalamenti

    Dear god this one has left me a mess. This guy and his music has meant so much to me over the years. He has done a ton of scores over the years but the backbone of his career was always with Lynch. Everything they did together was always perfection and while Twin Peaks in all its forms will...

    Jurassic Punk (2022)

    Looking forward to this. Hopefully it will balance out the fluffy side of vfx we have been getting lately.

    Accessory labels

    Just trying to gauge interest in this, I’ve built a database of all HT accessories (and in the process of doing same for Sideshow) and just wanted to see if there is any interest on here for something like this. Example below. It covers quantity, left and right, all individual break down...

    RIP Albert Pyun (1953-2022)

    Damn I really hate posting these things. While his career was to be blunt, not particularly good, it’s pretty impressive that his first film out, The Sword and the Sorceror, was good and was so seminal to me. I guess I just saw it at the right age. To be honest I think the only others I’ve seen...

    RIP Clu Gulager

    Jez I really hate constantly doing this lately and completely missed this one. Clu was a pretty amazing presence in my introduction to horror films in the eighties. Elm St 2, Return Of The Living Dead, The Hidden. His filmography was vast as was his talent.

    RIP Wolfgang Petersen

    Man this guy had such a crazy, interesting career. Das Boot, The NeverEnding Story, Enemy Mine, In The Line Of Fire was probably his peek work but Das Boot is the only really great film. Many of his other films like Shattered are admittedly highly guilty pleasures. I would guess the work he did...
