    Untitled Jesus Film (Martin Scorsese) (2024)

    Spider-Jesus? That could certainly be a different interpretation. "Don't let your spidey senses tingle with worry. You trust in your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man; trust also in me."

    Thinking the next reveal will be "U". Gotta drag this out, right?

    Paramount+ Star Trek: Discovery - Official Thread

    Ah, yes... the infamous "Get the cheese to sickbay!" episode. I may have actually stopped watching Voyager after one, can't quite remember. I did check in sporadically over its run but not much improved, so I sat out almost the entire show until I got the DVD box set... and suffered my way...

    Pre-Order Conan The Barbarian (1982) and Conan The Destroyer (1984) Standard Editions (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    This gives me a great idea… what if I got my girlfriend a “standard edition” engagement ring? You know, without all the superfluous “extras” like diamonds and gold. She’ll love it! “Crom!”

    You cited some excellent counter examples that exemplify stories involving actual drama and stakes, "Khan" in particular because Nimoy's future involvement in Trek was assumed to be nil. When viewed in 1982, this movie stunned because it personally affected Kirk, his crew, and the audience...

    Paramount+ Star Trek: Discovery - Official Thread

    Yes... because it tends to go with an over-reliance on "artificial excitement," as David Gerrold put it in "The World of Star Trek." To wit: it's far easier to show "exciting" things happening when nothing of import is actually happening, or personally involves anyone—except superficially. Lots...

    Paramount+ Star Trek: Discovery - Official Thread

    I could rant, but this show really lost me when they installed flame-shooters on the bridge of the NCC-1031-A. Sparks still fly and "rocks" still ricochet everywhere when consoles made of programmable matter explode. You'd think after 930 years, someone would invent the fuse box.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    I wanted to see what one of Ripley's pores would look like if we had a 100000K Blu-ray. I was not disappointed by the stunning clarity of the resulting image harvest taken from original 35mm elements and not tampered with in any way. And now I'm mad at the current 4K release! I mean, the ALIENS...

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: The Abyss, True Lies, Aliens, Titanic, Avatar and Avatar: The Way of the Water (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    Stickers are stupid, but then there's Goo Gone! Love that stuff. I'm not a marketing genius. Does the absence or presence of a sticker extolling the virtue of, say, the long-awaited 4K UHD Blu-ray of The Abyss sway my decision to keep my pantyhose on and snap it up? Do these stickers work on...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    I started picturing the man who directed Pirahna II: The Spawning breaking out in a cold flop sweat while poring over all these spirited HTF posts. Wishing at times he had turned the knob a bit less clockwise. "Oh, no! I hope I haven't ruined the drool! Do they hate it now? Should there even be...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    I still have a tough time accepting ALIEN CUBED. The F was up with that ³ anyway?! Poor David Fincher. I thought Resurrection was pretty bad on the whole, but there were some good bits in there. For the most part, I enjoyed the cast—even though the rest of it crashed and burned (literally). I...

    I braced myself and gave the new disc a spin last night. All I can say is WOW! This thing looks fantastic—certainly better than a non-anamorphic DVD that wore out its welcome too many years ago. This is supposed to be a happy occasion! Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who...

    General Discussion BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003-2008)

    Bonus points if you noticed the Ellen picture Saul burned a cigar through in the pilot (David Eick's wife, Jennifer) is a different person than the series (Kate Vernon)... except in a "Previously..." shot where they changed it to be Kate. And then Gaius Baltar got a Starfleet commission, but...

    "The Woman King" is pretty awful. "33" is the frakkin' best though.

    General Discussion BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003-2008)

    Just wondering, are you at all familiar with the cheesy 1978 television series? Despite growing up with that original, I found the Ron Moore version utterly surpassed it in every way... even though they changed the frakkin' helmets.

    Ah, yes, Andor. I'll never forget the look on my father's face when we watched Rogue One and got to the end. And he just looked at me. "That's the ending?" "Yep." I'm sure everyone here knows how the movie ended, but let's just say he was baffled to say the least. My dad was also confused...

    SUPERMANS This has quickly become one of the dumbest threads on HTF… and I love it. Does this mean rebooting this again is equally stupid, and we’re tapping into that fact?
