Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for $$$ Despite that observation; if the film can maintain the quality of the prior works in the franchise, then it is welcome. - Walter.

Repeating myself here, but... Two words: Oscar Isaac. - Walter.

Element - Walter.

The series was kind of all over the place for me, but Isaac was just terrific. I wouldn't mind seeing a second season that gives up more Jake Lockley. - Walter.

Thanks for highlighting the channel. I've been browsing over on You Tube and it brings back some memories. Too lazy to look up the specifics :) but I recall when there were competing musical shows on the big three networks. NBC had The Midnight Special, CBS broadcast Don Kirshner's Rock...

Interesting observations by Mr. Hunt. I will be curious to perform my own comparison between the forthcoming release and the earlier BD. I do wonder how much 'very different looking' will translate for me. It doesn't sound like the color palette is markedly different which is usually the...

Re: Joe's wiki plot spoiler in post #24... Yabushige would have approved. :) I'm still thinking about this show since viewing the finale last week, and I'd be hard pressed to name something I enjoyed more, at least recently. I tend to believe that there needs to be some passage of time...

I believe the general idea of the film was to shape a narrative that conformed to a lot of the tropes associated with UFOs at that time, not to make sense of an extraterrestrial agenda or to necessarily examine all the ramifications of the events depicted. As noted in the first post, there are...

Old man yells at clouds. I am of the same generation, so I feel pretty comfortable stating that he is old and perhaps he isn't as relevant as he once was. It is the same every generation with those of a certain age decrying youth. - Walter.

In the words of Roger Ebert... "It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it." - Walter.

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes I will discover a new (to me) filmmaker or artist and I'll mine their earlier oeuvre via BD; which can include pre-2010 BD releases. While older releases have sometimes been supplanted by newer ones, I tend to not wait if the title holds my interest. -...

Beautiful film. Very happy to see this getting a BD release. - Walter.

I have ZERO experience with this product, but just looking at the construction it sure looks like it... A) Needs to be mounted to more easily retract the hose (or) B) You'd need a helper to hold the case while you pull out the hose. At first glance it certainly appears to be designed for a...

Rainbow - Walter.

Season and show finale this evening... The finale might seem a bit anti-climactic after the momentous events of episode nine, but I think that interpretation misses the larger arc of the series. Episode 10 did a fantastic job of concluding the season and addressed all of the major plot lines...

Yeah, definitely looks like a Multi-Verse story with a different Logan. One who failed to save his world and rocks the yellow spandex. We see what appears to be the TVA and we get a glimpse of an Inter-Dimensional portal at the end of the trailer. Will Wongers make a guest appearance? :) As...

Amplifier - Walter.

I haven't seen the film. My theater viewings have been sharply curtailed as more and more home viewing options emerge. With that disclaimer, I'll delve into the Science Fiction discussion. One of the ways that I (and many others) define one sub-genre of Science Fiction is the exploration of...

Once Upon A Time in the West is forthcoming so I'll just mention it in passing. :) In terms of favorites that might get a UHD release and be day one / premium price purchases, I'll mention Chariots of Fire The English Patient Open Range - Walter.

Panic Room? Still waiting on a UHD/BD release for this title. I like a lot of selections already mentioned in this thread, but don't follow 4K releases closely enough to really add much to the subject. - Walter.

Viewed episode three earlier today. Still holding up really well. It was interesting to see a denizen of Far Harbor (one of the the Fallout 4 game DLCs) in California. :) One of the more interesting things about the series is how it is emphasizing that the brutal nature of the world above...

I absolutely recommend it. In terms of fidelity to the game environment upon which it is based I'd argue that it and The Last of Us are the very two best adaptations I've ever viewed. It has a very different tone vs. The Last of Us, but the tone and aesthetic of the series remarkably recreates...

Jules - Walter.

After posting those titles, the next day I realized that there was a serious omission in that group. :) Three Days of the Condor is a seriously good film and something I have revisited many times over the years. I always loved the 'matter of the fact' approach that Joubert took to his...

Bad - Walter.

Too much. :) I find gaming deeply immersive and it has the ability to pull me out of myself. Sometimes, television or film viewing is too passive and instead of focusing on content I am supposed to be enjoying I am distracted by one or more aches / pains or perhaps worrying about some task...

If we aren't limiting the discussion to strictly fictitious films, then documentaries and concert oriented films can certainly provide glimpses into specific times. A few that readily come to mind... Jazz on a Summer Day (1959) The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (1966) Don't Look Back...

Viewed episode one earlier today, the oddly and yet appropriately named episode "The End". The first thing that jumped out at me was how well the tone and aesthetic of the game was captured (as Adam mentioned in his post about the premiere). There were so many callbacks to the game that just...

I enjoyed the first five seasons myself, but it sounds like your mileage is varying. :) In terms of upcoming elements that might warrant sticking around it could depend upon how much you enjoy the primary guest cast stars for season three (Jimmy Smits), four (John Lithgow) and five (Julia...
