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

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.

            Another remake of a classic on its way. From the director of the excellent Fried Barry
            .

                Nosferatu reviews are out, and a few odd ones out they’re all raving about it. Did not think about it before, but this is probably the only period accurate Dracula-film (even if it’s not REALLY a Dracula-film) set in the 1800s because of course Eggers will make sure it’s period accurate. They’re also saying it’s a true horror-film too.

                I can’t wait. January 3rd in Finland because the cowards didn’t release it for Christmas like most of the world will do.

                An actual Iraq war vet Joe Mendoza co-wrote and directed this with Alex Garland. Looks awesome, I love Black Hawk Down and Hurt Locker.
