Watched Alien again. That 4K transfer is so freaking good, the Blu Ray was already great but they really went one step forward with the UHD.
A 45 year old movie shouldn't look this good, specially a sci fi movie that had a relatively low budget even for the time.

Using well designed sets and not CG sets allows a movie to age well. The only time Aliens felt out of place was during the vehicle chase scene because it looked like a miniature / fake vehicle.

I think Longlegs was alright? I was almost expecting to not like it so maybe I ended up more positive on it overall.
Nic Cage was very 50/50 in his deliveries. Not sure it actually needed that kind of performance for the film to be effective.

By Laboured Go To PostI still blame her for handing out the 10×28mm Caseless rounds to Drake, but then I am a stickler for protocol.Doubt any of them would have made it out of there without the smartguns covering them.
By Hixx Go To PostBrilliant mate. Well done.
I'll tell you why it's a shit film, then. It's a bad sequel to Prometheus (the Engineers? Forget about them! Shaw? Forget about her! Basically anything that was remotely interesting? Forget it. David? I'll get to him later). It's a fucking SHIT prequel to Alien (the mystery of where and what the Xenomorphs are? FORGET ABOUT IT! DAVID DID IT! Fuck yeah DAVID! David can do anything!)
And the film itself, in isolation, is fucking bad. It's just constant ridiculously stupid decisions from every single person involved to make Super Duper DAVID seem so fucking SMART. So much goofy shit (the slipping in blood twice, the dude sticking his face in the egg, the fucking flute scene. It makes the characters in Prometheus, who are also dumb as fuck, look respectable. And so much of the film is fucking ugly. Yeah it has a few cool moments visually but the majority of it is sludge.
It's absolutely shit. I guess if you like watching stupid people die and you just fucking love David's character for some reason yeah you might not think it was shit.
missed this post.
totally agree.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostI don’t get it, I watched it on digital?
There’s finally a legal way to watch this film. Watch it for those who haven’t.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostI don’t get it, I watched it on digital?It was previously only available on Netflix but it left the service a year and a half ago, it's been unavailable to watch since then.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostI don’t get it, I watched it on digital?Digital as in digital purchase, not streaming. The film was exclusive to Netflix and never released on sale anywhere else. It was removed from Netflix last year so there had been no legal way to watch since then.

thank God for the distros
Colour Out of Space was shit. The ending was really cool visually but this was Bad Nicolas Cage. Honestly the entire film just felt half-arsed. The mad last 30 minutes or so was not worth the boredom of the rest of the film.
By Hixx Go To PostI haven't. How can you say that when Face/Off exists tho?The Rock. Then Con Air. Then Face/Off.
Nick Cage, lads.
By Scum Go To PostThe Rock. Then Con Air. Then Face/Off.
Nick Cage, lads.
Con Air is great fun too but Face/Off is peak Cage of what I have seen. Not seen The Rock.
By atticus Go To PostNic Cage is a true actorThe equivalent of a true hooper
The Kevin Durant of actors if you will
By FortuneFaded Go To PostI watched this on Netflix years ago

By FortuneFaded Go To PostI'm not denying you did.The way they phrase it is weird
Saying it’s available for the first time on digital implies it’s only been able to watch from a physical disc
By FortuneFaded Go To PostFirst time ever? I watched it on Netflix years ago?

Nevermind, seen the replies now
By Hixx Go To PostCon Air is great fun too but Face/Off is peak Cage of what I have seen. Not seen The Rock.Do it, Hixx. Watch it.
"English prick. I tell you my old man was Irish?!"
By Just Apollo Go To PostOne of the best to ever do it but neither Vampire’s Kiss or Face/Off is his best movieVampire’s Kiss is definitely up there; if only for it being the most Nic Cage performance ever. Then I’d throw in Raising Arizona and Moonstruck in there.
By domino Go To Post
Damn Shadow is so cool
By Scum Go To PostDo it, Hixx. Watch it.
"English prick. I tell you my old man was Irish?!"
It's gonna happen, scum.
Tonight I watched The King of Comedy though. Very good. Not my favourite Scorsese but De Niro was fuckin gr8. Probably my favourite De Niro performance. Recency bias and all that jazz tho.
