There is a brill The Light cinema in New Brighton. Your neck of the woods isn’t it?

Have a look at what they are showing, if you want to go to a cinema.

      ehitach2 I able to locate a cinema, I just wouldn’t want to watch anything they are showing. Modern cinema / film is for the most part, shite.

          So anyway, what they all have usually is a ‘Rewind’, ‘Explore’ and ‘Iconic’ film or two showing.

            Really happy The Substance is getting a theatrical release in Finland. Truly bonkers films like it are best seen in a crowd.

              Is the Joker becoming a franchise film now? Seems there’s another one out. Seems a similar pitch to the last one.

              Will probably watchband on the fact I loved the last one 😀

              The BERKbait clearly works!

                Mad_Cyril Romantic musical with lady Gaga. Critics have been luke warm. Saw Blink Twice yesterday. Clever and original.

                    Presume this is the tv film from 1984?…. never seen it, meant to be pretty groundbreaking for the time.

                      It’s an amazing film, only broadcast a few times, hence a mention. You either know about it and have seen it and it’s had an impact, or you haven’t.

                      Definitely not fun. I am no film expert but doubt that was the nature or intent.

                        It’s been restored recently in 2K, will probably be that version.

                        Watched it recently, it’s more horrifying than I ever remember. If it does come to all out nuclear war, I’ll be heading out to try and catch one of the missiles on my head.

                            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.

                                    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.
