A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.
Have a great day.

I was quite looking forward to Star Wars: Skeleton Crew until I saw the first trailer. It looks like someone is trying to do The Goonies in space. The one image that really disheartened me is the shot of the suburbs, rows of houses and streets. Star Wars isn’t a place where I’d expect to see suburbs, it’s in a galaxy far, far away, a long time ago.
It’s very similar to when The Book of Boba Fett had their version of the 60s scooter scene. It doesn’t work and took me completely out of the episode.
I missed that bit off, soz. I was rushing it on my phone. 😊 Thanks for including.
It’s not even pinned for me! Go right ahead!
It’s not terrible but It has problems.
Another entry for September!
“I’m too old for this resurrection shit!”
Oh I still want to see it as well. I even liked a lot of the 2019 version.
So this is Avengers for all the lesser characters? Also, new rule. Trailers aren’t allowed to use covers of classic songs anymore. Thank you.
I think I saw a bit because I remember Cox introducing Terminator on Moviedrome, Sunday nights on BBC2, the first time I saw the film. I then assumed every film on that show would be awesome! My teenage self wasn’t impressed. I shall revisit at some point with my now apparently more mature mind. (Yeah, whatever! Lolz.)
That’s a fucking list! The only one I haven’t seen is Repo Man.

Paying homage is one thing but blatantly sticking in favourite lines where they don’t belong just destroys the moment. Romulus does it to the point of distraction. I think the first clue was the nodding bird toy!
Your stirring up memories. I’m either saw the VHS of Trancers in the video store or the trailer was on an ex rental tape I had purchased. I have a vague image of the bad guy wearing a long trench coat and chasing people?
I just did a quick imdb on Quiet Earth, the premise sounds really intriguing.
I have to admit, not seen most of those, however, Battle Behind the Stars is Corman budget Star Wars. Discovering that one Saturday afternoon as a child on ITV, I was in heaven. It’s a lot of fun and the main spaceship has boobs!
Night of the Comet I also remember seeing late Saturday night on BBC1. That’s a good film as well.
Even The Terminator isn’t original. Author Harlan Ellison sued Orion Pictures as even though he loved the film, it was a rip off of a story he wrote called “Soldier” for an episode of The Outer Limits. Orion settled and Ellison’s name was added to the credits of the film.

That’s why I pumped so many coins into the T2: Arcade machine. Half the game is set in the future war and I loved it to bits, my wallet, not so much.
Genisys is a half decent action film but a terrible Terminator film. I put most of the blame on Jai Courtney, terrible actor.
The only part I really liked was the recreation of the original film, that was done really well.
The Corridor Crew with their series VFX Artists React looked at a 2004 motorcycle film called Torque. Its basically someone trying to cash in on the Fast and the Furious but with motorbikes.
Anyway, in the clips they showed, there was some ever so subtle product placement.
Can you spot it?
😂
So it’ll be on HBO Max in about a month then? 😁
