A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.
Have a great day.
Eraser is fun if you take it as an eighties style action action film but it’s not that great.
I love that analogy. 👏
My wife and I saw this film this afternoon. I feel that if I review it, I’ll have to review the trailers because there is so much that I don’t want to spoil. :-)
I only saw this a few months ago based on someone’s reaction. It was surprisingly a lot better than I was expecting, a great film.
When I used to work in a supermarket, I hated the stupid customers. This is a classic example. One of the soft drink companies fairly regularly gave away 50% free.
Therefore, for the same price, the bottle would be 3 litres in size rather than 2.
The amount of people who didn’t like that.
“Excuse me, where’s the 2 litre bottle?” “Oh, it’s the same price miss, you get an extra litre for free.” “But I don’t want 3 litres, I only want two!” Sigh!
I remember three of us lugging our PCs and big heavy CRT monitors to our friends house where we spent 12 hours playing through the original Rainbow Six. I think it had lan co-op, if not it was at least the whole night in multiplayer.
On the opposite side of the scale, I once connected my 486DX 33 to my friends Pentium to play Descent over a serial connection.
As his was the fastest machine, the game played normal for him. All I saw was a game updating the screen once every 5 seconds. That wasn’t much fun. 😄
Maybe it’ll make use of the official Sega Dreamcast mouse?
Thanks. I’m always a little reluctant to post my own stuff. I did a few times on Reddit and people can be so nasty.
I don’t often go to the cinema, but last week we went to see Twisters as the original film is one of my wife’s favourite. I’ve just finished this review, I hope you enjoy it.

Snyder’s going all out! End of the month, there’s a podcast, although I think it’s more of an audio drama, it has a cast list. Its a six part series explaining the history of the first Jimmy robot.
I think there’s also books, comics and a video game still to come.
I have this theory that Netflix wanted a shorter, sanitised version for a larger, family audience. When I watched the film, seeing all the bloodless kills, it was obvious the film had been “censored” in some way.
That’s just like, your opinion, man!
😁
I bought Dogma on Blu-ray soon after purchasing a PS3 and discovering it was a region free disc. Of course, convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein owns the rights personally, which is why there has never been a re-issue of the film.
The problem with Dredd is that the director, Danny Cannon, wanted to follow the tone of the comics, whereas Stallone thought it was an action comedy. So the whole production had a push/pull effect applied to it, where Stallone won because he was the bigger name with more star pulling power.
Cannon says the final film is very different to the script due to Stallone’s changes.
I distinctly remember, many years ago, reading that Cannon was thinking of a director’s cut, and I’ve been waiting ever since.
Dredd (2012) for me, is the better film and I think they were using that entry to establish the character (for those who nothing of Dredd). Apparently the plan for the sequel was to bring in Judge Death, but as the film was a commercial flop, all plans were abandoned.
Finally, Rebellion Studios were working on a television show called Mega City One which would have occasional appearances from Dredd, but I haven’t heard anything about that show in years.
The closest we’ve got is this two and a half minute crew reel, which is all behind the scene’s footage. From what you can see, I think they did a great job of bringing Loony Tunes to life. Warner Bros even went around trying to delete this footage as well.
If you start exploring this thread from Blu-ray.com forums, your should see plenty of examples.
The 4K was announced, it hit streaming services late last year first and the forum just exploded with everyone picking it apart for how weird it looked.
There’s also a thread for Aliens there as well somewhere which also features examples of weird AI anomalies.
Even worse news (possibly), according to the source of the news, the tweet I have included below, the transfer was worked on by Park Road Post. The same company that worked on Let It Be, Aliens, True Lies…oh.
As I say, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Peter here clearly didn’t enjoy the film.
Without giving too much away, I saw it as a celebration of the 20th Century Fox era of Marvel films. This was further enhanced with footage shown during the end credits.
As Deadpool says, “Get your special socks, nerds. This is the good part!” 😆
