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

    Agreed but it's not a tool that anyone (outside of talentless tech bros) seems to be excited about being used.

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

    I have to question the sanity of people mentioning when AI is being used in a project like this. Those two letters strike fear in the heart of anyone who actually likes art and it creates an instant bias or suspicion of it. People freaked out when the 'new' Beatles song was going to use AI as if...

    What annoys you?

    Yeah, I don't have complex taxes but I still pay to have them done each year simply because I'm afraid of making a mistake and ending up in jail. :laugh:

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

    After that, he went on to True Lies, Titanic and the Avatar movies so I'd say that that roll has yet to end. There's certainly movies of his that I like more than others but there's not a dud in Cameron's filmography.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Poor Things -- in Blu-ray

    Yeah, I loved the movie but it's a perfect example of a movie that's not for everyone.

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

    Agreed. I'm not particularly bothered by what has been done to Aliens but to me, there's no difference between degraining Aliens or erasing the snake reflection in Raiders Of The Lost Ark or adding a dinosaur to Star Wars. A change is a change.

    The Fall Guy (2024)

    Releasing The Phantom Menace against The Fall Guy probably seemed like a decent idea (it's May 4th that weekend, Star Wars is always popular) but I think The Fall Guy is gonna take a bigger bite than Disney expected.

    Twilight Zone: The Movie

    That's the best one but the Joe Dante It's A Good Life is fun too. Even with the dark cloud over the Landis segment, that one is still better than the Spielberg segment. However, my understanding is that Spielberg shot his after the accident on Landis' segment so he was stuck in the contract and...

    Civil War (2024)

    Garland is why all the doubt and mockery of the trailer that I saw on Twitter was senseless to me.

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (S1), Moon Kinigh (S1), Andor (S1) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (4k UHD)

    I wouldn't go that far but I do think it's easily the best of Disney's live action TV shows.

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

    I like your optimism but unfortunately, I think the only people who care about this are the ones who have continued to buy discs this whole time. I'm sure these movies are doing amazing numbers for catalog titles in 2024 but the industry knows that, outside of the original Star Wars trilogy...

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

    I think Resurrection is pretty good until they get off the ship and then the movie loses me. It has a great supporting cast too.

    Weekly RoundUp 3-19-2024

    It's actually the second remake as there was also a TV movie version in the late 90's or early 2000's. As someone who owns them all, you're fine missing them. :laugh:

    Official 2024 Oscar Nominations And Discussion Thread

    Even when I was young, I was out of step with what was popular and I've heard maybe five Billie Eilish songs so what do I know but I think she's popular as a performer because there's a truth to her singing her songs. She's certainly not going to come out like Elton John or Freddy Mercury and...

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Absolutely agree. This isn't meant to be a backhanded compliment to Butler but with Elvis, I wondered if maybe that was a case of the right actor in the right part so it worked well but to me, this performance proves that Butler is a fantastic actor. I'm sure that he will be working with big...

    Official STAR WARS Saga Discussion Thread: Part 5

    Never say never but I don't believe that article and I've never heard of that site. Why would Disney put out Star Wars movies against the Planet Of The Apes (which they own) or Furiosa? But yeah, if it actually happens, there will be people wondering if it's going to be the original versions...

    General Discussion Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 5 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    Agreed. They could make a string of movies that are better than what they've previously done and it's still not going to capture the public's attention the way that it did because it's not new anymore. That doesn't mean that they can't make good movies or that they can't still have hits but the...

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

    I understand that you're broadly correct on the topic and I'm just being a broken record (no pun intended) on the topic but why did they make a huge deal out of this release and have months of extra lead time yet still screw it up? The whole point of the early announcement should have been to...

    Scream 7

    As far as I know, Williamson had some input on the fifth and six ones so I imagine that he'll do the same here too.

    I know that Gosling is an actor and (I think) was a singer or dancer when he was a kid but that was an impressively confident performance.

    I'm very happy that Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson are back.

    Sad state of affairs when that was my first thought too.

    Official 2024 Oscar Nominations And Discussion Thread

    Or they're coming back as is reasonable to expect today. I don't know the specifics but I'd bet that football is probably the only thing that can reliably pull 20 million viewers in the modern TV ratings landscape. Yes, it's nowhere near where it used to be but the world has changed.

    The First Omen

    Yeah, even if it's good, I think it will be lost in the shuffle of other movies. Even the week it comes out, Monkey Man which will undoubtedly be leaning on Jordan Peele's name will easily eclipse Omen Part 6- err The First.

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

    As soon as this was announced, I was positive that there'd be a lack of copies when the release day came but I held out some small bit of hope that Disney would prove me wrong and they simply chose not to. They announced these discs four months in advance (the pre-order date was announced as its...
