    Rebel Moon | Netflix

    Unless its more "studio interference" where the studio tell Snyder "you need to chop out lots to reduce the runtime" after shooting finishes which forces Snyder to effectively butcher his film in order to match studio time/rating requirements made during the editing phase, which is the worst...

    Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

    Cool, so as a sensible, rational person you'd probably give that "not bad" as a 5/10, maybe pushing to a 6/10 on the "sensible, rational" reviewing scale - WHAT IN THE SWEET BABY JESUS!!!! I see you must be using the "pants on head" reviewing scale then - :D

    Rebel Moon | Netflix

    Wow, hardly any media coverage/adverts that I've seen (very odd), this would've completely slipped me by had you not mentioned it!

    OcUK HQ Motors Meet Take 4 - Cars, Computers & More - Saturday 25th May 2024

    A probably really silly question - The invites that'll be sent out later, will those include the 35-ish "visitor parking" spots as well as the 100+ show cars or just for the show cars?

    Alec Baldwin fatally shoots woman with prop gun on movie set

    Posted originally in mid Feb - I'd say 18 months looks to be about right, although she would have got much less with an initial guilty plea (like the producer did) because it was obvious that the chain of events started with her incompetence, and therefore she was always going to be found guilty...

    Dragonfire on UK warships

    Technically we do with the RN operated Trident SRBM and we've had hypersonics since 1959 with RAF operated Thor IRBM's and 1968 with RN fired Polaris SRBM's. However thats just being pernickety and I know what you meant and yes, we don't have what is now commonly referred to in the media as...

    Shogun

    Oh wow, awesome! I only guessed the the ending after Ishido's appearance near the end, it was the only plan that made sense after Ochiba No Kata's counsel to him earlier, great writing there!

    Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

    Yeap, I feel the same - genuine criticism of something/one feels like it has to couched with a thousand "its not because............." clauses just to prevent the often guaranteed "Oh, thats because you're a..............." responses. Shame its ended up like this but it looks like we all have to...

    Music too loud in TV and films

    Same, got a Samsung HW-Q600A which is a full 3.1.2 Dolby Atmos & DTS:X soundbar (£300-ish IIRC) and I also found a decent soundbar with a good centre speaker adjustment makes a huge difference compared to the "free" Samsung one (some £100 2.1 item) I got with my TV in a package deal a few years ago.

    Renegade Nell

    The first 20 odd seconds looked interesting (female highwayman with a bit of Jack Sparrow-ish cheek and a hint of the supernatural), but by the end of the "lets show everything" trailer, I knew that this isn't made for my tastes but, as a Disney show, I'm sure it'll be a huge hit with its...

    Classic Movies on the Big Screen

    Demolition Man at Cineworld tomorrow for £5 and, as I've been resurrected after my death (my man-flu's over), I'll definitely be watching that, and then Commando on the 29th!

    Music too loud in TV and films

    Not really, thats just "modern" sound mixing, done by people who have no idea that people want a fairly level volume between music and voice. You'll notice lots of modern TV reviews state that the actors are "mumbling" a lot, thats not the actors, thats the garbage sound mix which pushes the...

    Civil War

    Always reminds me of this :D I'm definitely using that "Old Skool" rating scale on the bottom where 7./10 means "really good", rather than the more modern "7/10 is barely OK" scale on top :D

    YouTube Premium

    I'm using Firefox with uBlock Origin & Ghostery and have the same issues occasionally. As I mentioned previously, the fix for this 95% of the time is - It doesn't work for any broken "Shorts" as you can't change the stream quality with those but it works for 95% of videos. For those that it...

    What film did you watch last night?

    Civil War - 5/10 - A road-trip movie more than an action film, the cast are good actors but don't have a lot of consistency (strong one second, falling apart another) and the young woman holds up well considering who she's acting next to but I'm a little disappointed in the Writer/Director...

    Music too loud in TV and films

    With today's tech, rather than a bulky 5.1 AV Amp system and the speakers to match, the vast majority of people just buy a soundbar instead. Some come with a Subwoofer (x.1 where x=number of speakers inside it) & some without (x.0) but all of them will provide better sound than TV speakers (2.0)...

    Reddit is dying

    Last stuff I ordered was a bunch of bits in July '21 when I came back from Saudi (Laptop, Monitor, SSD) but for my PC upgrade in the same month I had to use a competitor as it was during the Nvidia GPU "silly pricing" era for RTX3080's and the competitor had a deal on both GPU's and "upgrade...

    MCU to "Refocus” and Disney sinking faster than the Titanic (Starwars is dead Marvel is dead)

    Disney with another smash hit incoming - Daisy Ridley as very "prettied up" version of the 1st female to swim the English Channel in a film trailer full of diversity, inclusion, anti-male vitriol and a gender swap of the film name to "Young Woman and the Sea" Hah, eat that Hemmingway you old...

    Dragonfire on UK warships

    If you've got a mirror to reflect it and a decent set of anti-laser goggles* so you're not blinded, absolutely nothing! :D *this is me wearing a set about 15 years ago during a "self defence" laser live-firing test by QINETIQ & DSTL (UK military testing/research) on a system fitted to a Merlin...
