  • It's the forthcoming films and TV thread...innit.

deadhead The day of the Jackal (Sky Atlantic)

Looking forward to this…. Saw the film as a kid and thought it was excellent.

      RichM I really hope they don’t ruin Severance but Apple have a decen track record of not overcooking things so we shall see

          Ban request for Deadhead - The Substance is already widely available.

          Derm’s favourite comedians are Freddie Flintoff and Chubby Brown?

          Talk about wonders never cease!

          This looks good. Older and grizzled Jude Law seems like a good modern day Gene Hackman-replacement.

          Forthcoming physical media. I preordered The Usual Suspects, The Gift and The Cell. That’s 105 € gone lol.

            Homegrove why do you spend that much money, is streaming of these films not good enough?

                RichM if you have a good set up with good sound there’s a big difference. At best streaming services push about 20 mbps, and that’s with Apple TV, 4K Blu rays go up to 80 mbps so there’s quite a difference when it comes to compression.

                I also just like collecting them movies. But with the sound especially there is a big difference with lossy sound on streaming and HD on disc in my 7 speaker surround set up.

                    Most people who stream stuff do it with the TV sound, or with a lap top so obviously physical media is redundant for that. It’s just sickos like me who still like it. And have space for it, in our case a dedicated home theatre room.

                    Mubi is putting The Substance on their streaming service for October 31st (I think I read somewhere it’s for Halloween only) if you want to watch a movie that goes well with plenty of snacks.

                    Apparently a remake of Cliffhanger is on its way, with Lily James. I mean, fuck off.
