    UHD Review The Godfather Trilogy – UHD Blu ray Review

    Saw this renovation of The Godfather on TCM yesterday. To summarize... The colourist should be shot out of a cannon.

    The Godfather Part III Returns to Theaters for 30th Anniversary with an All-New Cut

    (Comment from my mother) Ahem. If they change the opening, I don't care. But there is no need for a new ending. The last couple of minutes, starting on the steps with things going dark and you can see only outlines, with Michael's memories beginning, and finally him falling over dead in...

    Recently, he said he was "doing his best work", which was building on his short film "Prologue", which was nominated for an Oscar in 2015: (warning - graphic violence and nudity) https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/20955 https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/20956...

    Obscure/Rare film you’d like that will never see the light of day?

    They sure went the extra mile putting Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-ray, scanning the original negatives for the entire series and redoing all the SD effects in HD. Video game consoles are great for YouTube on your TV. They have other apps/streaming services too, such as Microsoft...

    Obscure/Rare film you’d like that will never see the light of day?

    Still waiting for The Grey Fox (1982), which remains VHS only. Panamint Cinema was planning a Blu-ray a few years back, but it suddenly got memory-holed... The Return of Martin Guerre (1982) is also VHS only (and bootleg discs). Between Friends (1973, dir. Don Shebib) has NEVER had a home...

    Zelda: Breath of the wild thoughts, Qs, hints and experiences

    That would be like the game not having Link. Besides, Calamity Ganon is hyped up as the big bad right after the training area. HOW you fight him is still a complete mystery at that point, though.

    Zelda: Breath of the wild thoughts, Qs, hints and experiences

    To some people, anything after the inital reveal of a game (where generally just the concept, art style, and world outline is shown) is a spoiler. But that's outside the scope of this thread, which, based on the title, is a place where people currently playing BotW can go to get help. ANY final...

    Zelda: Breath of the wild thoughts, Qs, hints and experiences

    Aw. :( If that's the truth, I'll let you spoil something about Halo 4 (my #1 backlog game) to me. I know about the final boss/ending already, but if you can find a big plot twist/character reveal, go ahead. (Spoilered my post in any case.)

    Zelda: Breath of the wild thoughts, Qs, hints and experiences

    A lot can be gleaned from a name. Clearly most, if not all of you here are not very sensitive to spoilers. But many are. Not sure if I mentioned it here, but I went on hard blackout for BotW starting when review copies were sent out and ending when I beat the game, about five or so months in...

    Zelda: Breath of the wild thoughts, Qs, hints and experiences

    Ganondorf did not exist before OoT. Neither he nor Ganon were in Majora's Mask. Ganon was not in Wind Waker...sort of. Twilight Princess had three final boss stages. Skyward Sword had no indication as to who the final boss was until just before the end. And at the beginning, BotW presents a form...

    Zelda: Breath of the wild thoughts, Qs, hints and experiences

    Twilight Princess has a three-stage final boss - Puppet Zelda, Ganon, Ganondorf. Anything's possible. Also, the game's only been out for 6 months, and has not yet had a Christmas season. Being careful with at least the biggest spoilers is still the way to go.

    Nintendo NX is now Switch (Official thread)

    Nintendo has been saying for years that they dislike selling at a loss. Whether it be high demand and/or a manufacturing bottleneck, all signs point to the Switch stock shortages being totally out of Nintendo's hands. No, one game isn't worth it. But as soon as Pikmin 4 comes out, it, Mario...

    The Ancient Arrows are insanely powerful, hence why Ancient Shafts are so rare compared to other parts. I used them very sparingly until my last charge into the castle.

    Never thought I'd see THIS show discussed on a cinephile forum... ^_^ One of my favorite shows when I was young. The idea of an omnipotent kid really resonated with me. The swell effects and lighthearted plots were also a draw. It's no ReBoot or Uh-Oh, but I still might just get this set...

    Just briefly checking in to say that I've more or less reached the halfway point of BotW. 62 shrines, 2 Divine Beasts, Master Sword, and a heck of a lotta Koroks, which are basically Nirnroot from The Elder Scrolls, but more fun to find! So far, I'm most impressed with the storytelling (English...
