BarryOVega Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Glad Say Anything was mentioned, glorious film, one of my favourite endings to a film as well Quote

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted June 3 Paid Members Posted June 3 The Teacher's Lounge is currently streaming on iPlayer. Superb suspense drama, Leonie Benesch was also excellent in the similar Late Shift from last year. Highly recommended. Quote
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted June 5 Awards Moderator Posted June 5 The Odyssey website has a toy where you can see what different formats will do to the framing. https://www.odysseymovie.com/explore-formats/ All these formats and not a single one showing what it looks like on my Galaxy A34 hunched up in bed listening on one earbud.

Merzbow Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Manhunter is getting the 4K remaster treatment, both visuals and audio and it seems like it's *not* being done with AI! Quote To that end, a new 4K scan of the original 35mm negative (with a few shots from an interpositive) was conformed and digitally restored at L’Immagine Ritrovata in Bologna. Both the theatrical version and the UHD HDR & SDR video color gradings were performed by Stefan Sonnenfeld at Company 3 in Los Angeles under Mann’s supervision. Sound restoration was done at Audio Mechanics from an original 35mm magnetic 6-track printmaster to release a new 5.1 mix by Luke Schwartzweller at Fox. Technical coordination and deliveries were managed by L’Immagine Ritrovata. The project was supervised by Becca Mann and StudioCanal’s Jean-Pierre Boiget and Delphine Roussel. “We have carefully remastered the film to try to evoke that mood and intensity, heightened with audio sourced from the original 5.1 35mm analog masters,” Mann added. “This latest iteration is that version of the film with which I’m most satisfied.” Quote
wordsfromlee Posted June 17 Posted June 17 He's just resurrected Dr. Evil for a phone commercial in the US. Presuming this comes out in 2027 (or later), more time will have passed between when the original was released and the present day, than when Austin was frozen and thawed out in the first movie. Considering how big those films and the character was in the late nineties, I'm surprised how forgotten about those movies seem to be these days. Quote
Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 17 Paid Members Posted June 17 the only way that it could be remotely worthwhile is if it somehow finds a way to pastiche Austin Powers movies and the culture of their time, in the same way the movies first parodied '60s spy flicks, rather than just regurgitating catchphrases and warming over comedy from twenty-odd years ago.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted June 17 Paid Members Posted June 17 This film is going to be a massive bag of shite and I'm definitely going to go and watch it. Quote
Merzbow Posted June 17 Posted June 17 (edited) I'm half expecting the kind of "jokes" a Netflix stand-up with a show called Triggered makes for this one, he 100% bumps into a blue haired non-binary person called Anne Tifa. (I might be thinking of the wrong person actually, was sure Mike turned in to a right-wing nobhead) Edited June 17 by Merzbow Quote

I unashamedly love all the Austin Powers films. My Dad absolutely adores them as well, and it's one of the only things we've ever bonded over. He never claimed to have invented the question mark though. Quote

He hates Trump and Elon too. Can't see him going all anti woke on a new Austin Powers, I'd expect they lean more into just how out of touch the character is. Quote

Renting 1&2 from Blockbuster with my mum before Goldmember came out was one of the better memories of my childhood honest. Quote

If anyone other than me and @Bellenda Carlisle even watched The Pentaverate you'll see that his sense of humour has remained pretty much the same, for all the both good and bad that that brings. As a fan of his work I think I'll enjoy it but really not sure how well it'll connect with a new audience. Edited June 17 by Chest Rockwell Quote
