    Unnatural image? The screenshots from the True Lies 4K "restoration" are really bad, weird AI sharpened.

    Unfortunately I had to cancel my ticket. Turns out my son’s band concert was that night. A bummer, but glad I canceled, as the pieces they played and their performance was pretty awesome.

    Teaser for Francis Ford Coppolas "final" film. He sold his winery and paid for it himself:

    Heard all kinds of interesting things about this one.

    Looks a lot better than I thought. Visually.

    Agreed. Be interesting to see it. I read the synopsis, but it seems strange considering the stopping time moment in the trailer.

    I’d be surprised if this is anything other than the X-man named Dazzler. She’s a pop star mutant.

    I’m very excited for this. So I watched the teaser trailer, but I will attempt to not watch the new trailer. I’ve found for some movies it helps me enjoy it more (no spoilers or preconceived notions of what I think it’ll be).

    I’m interested in Fede’s take on this. Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe did not pull punches in the gore or horror department.

    Between this and the upcoming FX show (Timothy Olyphant!), it’s looking like a good time to be an Alien(s) fan.

    Saw the character posters. Will see the trailer when I get home! Read it shows a lot of the film

    It shows a lot I would think. Just going to watch it the one time. Couldn’t resist.

    Gladiator II looked ok. 

    Teaser for this was released also:

    Saw that yesterday. I love comic books, so I’m always excited about stuff like this. Hopefully this one is more Winter Soldier. 

    Fun to see Harrison Ford (replacing William Hurt). I’m curious how they will work Red Hulk into this (not my favorite character). 

    I’m also interested in seeing Tim Blake Nelson in this.

    Don't know anything about red hulk. The MCU has started to feel so much... like you know... a hard rock band 30 years in and no original members are left in the band... I'm not really interested. I'll watch Deadpool 3 though, because of the cheap references and the "Wolverine is back"- gimmick.

    Funny comparison! I don’t disagree. It’s funny it’s actually just like comic books. They’ll be amazing for awhile, but then the writer and artist change and you have to wait for someone to come along with a really fresh idea that breathes life back into it.
