Once you accept that in this world physics don’t apply, they’re two fantastic action films.

It’s better than the book, which has them as a group driving off into the mist and that’s it.

The technology behind these films are amazing and they’re quite entertaining. Personally, I’d like to see Cameron move onto other projects.

One of the biggest issues was possibly dropping the “of Mars” from the title.

I think the problem with Solo is that it was released just a few months after The Last Jedi. People were possibly Star Wars fatigued by this point. (Just speculation)

Disney were releasing one film a year, Force Awakens (2015), Rogue One (2016) and The Last Jedi (2017). Each film was released in December of their respective years, including Rise of Skywalker which came out in 2019. Why release Solo in March?

Considering the drastic reshoots and production issues to get the film done, I would’ve thought aligning the film to December would’ve of given production more time to breathe. PS I would love to see more of the footage shot by Lord & Miller, but just like the Rogue One reshoots, that’s locked in the Disney vault, never to be seen.

PS - I really like Solo as a movie. It’s a lot of fun and I own it on 4K!

Yep! Definitely had those in the house back in the day. I’m pretty sure there were a few even cheaper versions mixed in that were made from coloured paper as well.

That’s a great build…and keep it away from me! 🫣😁

This looks like fun and a great teaser too. It’s got me interested, I won’t watch anymore as I guess the next trailers will probably spoil stuff.

I’ve been very picky about music players over the years. Basically for decades (well, maybe not that long) it was PowerAmp, ever since I had my HTC Hero on Android 1.5.

Then when I got into the whole Open Source thing, I chose Musicolet and loved it, even donated to the author.

Sadly, on my latest phone which seems to have incredibly strict memory/power settings, I had to stop using Musicolet. The phone would kill the player a sing or two into listening no matter what tricks I would use to try and stop it happening.

Now I’m using Phocid which has never been killed while in use.

And I keep all my music in finders, correctly named and tagged with MP3Tag and MusicBee because, you know, Autism. 😁

What’s 256 pixels between friends? 😁

25 years, eh! I remember excitedly downloading the very first trailer which was a mixture of early footage and behind the scenes material. I think that was about 18 months before the first film was released.

Apparently, people are proclaiming this is the best film of next year and possibly the century!

JoBlo Article.

I think there are several terms floating around getting mixed up by marketing people. There’s only one kind of 4K Blu-ray. If that’s what you meant?

I’ve realised that over time, a lot of my favourite films or ones that I enjoy and basically mainstream blockbusters.

I try to broaden my horizons but quite often, I find these amazing acclaimed films boring.

It’s not quite the same but I was amazed when I got the Criterion edition of Armageddon. All these bonus features about a great blockbuster film.

So imagine my disappointment when every other release from Criterion is a film I’ll probably never watch in the first place.

Example, I took a chance on Brazil because I was in a bit of a Terry Gilliam phase. I quite enjoyed that one. Then I tried Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That DVD never got a second play.

Yeah I find that I tend to stick to the first version I saw syndrome. It’s the one you grow to love first.

Didn’t they update that scene twice? The first Special Edition release and then updated the Jabba CGI a second time for another release. (The Blu-ray’s? I’m not sure)

It’s all a bit moot anyway as everything in the “new” Jabba scene is almost a repeat of what was said in the Greedo encounter a few scenes earlier.

And they forced in Boba Fett which was cool at the time but just seems out of place now.

This rebate looks even better but 4K77 is the best choice for now.

Yes, the original originals from 77, 80 and 83.

So if this film turns out really good and he ignores most of the sequels, will we see Cameron telling us that Terminator 7 should be considered the real Terminator 3? 😁

It can’t be worse than Genisys. 😂
