Re watched Terminator 1. One of the best movies of all time made on a shoestring budget. Cost $1M, looks like it cost $20M, made $100M (and a billion more later).

The Terminator itself is like a serpent. Arnold disappears completely. The Tech Noir scene in particular might be one of the best scenes in movie history. Look at how his head is framed like Frankenstein's Monster in that shot. Almost every second of the Tech Noir scene does some sort of visual storytelling like that.

It's absurd how good this scene is and how much it tells a first-time viewer. It's comparable to the Dog Scene from The Thing in terms of being a scene where the world as we know it is completely shattered in the span of a minute. It's a through the looking glass moment where the illusion of safety falls away. A little later is the police station scene, which is where any remaining "yeah but he can be stopped right?" gets crushed.

The deleted scenes are powerful. We find out that Lt Traxler was the one person who believed Reese, and he tells them how to escape the station (and also tells Reese to protect Sarah) while he lay dying. We also see Reese breaking down in the woods because he's never seen a green forest before. I get why they cut these scenes, they're pretty goddamn sad.

10/10 movie, obviously. After all the modern garbage I watched the past month, this was just unbelievably good.

Huh, I didn't know about the deleted scenes, but they sound great. Was it from a bonus feature on a Blu-ray or is there an assembly cut available?

7/10, one of the more clever horror movies I have seen in recent years. Main character isn't a drooling idiot which is nice, however too much of it is too dark and while it is in service of the story it's getting annoying only being able to 10% of the screen for long stretches. Too many movies are doing this and it's annoying. Also, I am tired of so many movies going, "dialogue" and then "SOUND EFFECTS" come along. Fucking jackasses need to reevaluate their audio mixing and no I am not buying a sound system for my tv, fuck off.

I said fuck off!

Stupid economy.

Rutger Hauer did so much garbage to fuel his cocaine habit and I love him for it. He's was the best part of any straight to home video production.

got around to watching this (again) this morning.

www.themoviedb.org

The Empire Strikes Back

The epic saga continues as Luke Skywalker, in hopes of defeating the evil Galactic Empire, learns the ways of the Jedi from aging master Yoda. But Darth Vader is more determined than ever to capture Luke. Meanwhile, rebel leader Princess Leia, cocky Han Solo, Chewbacca, and droids C-3PO and...

Now I didn't watch the extra special razzle dazzle Lucas fucked it in the ass a lot edition, no I watched the 'despecialized' edition. The same one released in the theater in 1980, warts and all.
10/10 would bang, and do a line with Carrie Fisher!

Btw if you don't know;

EDIT: Hit save too fast. I tried the 4K version of New Hope. Showed way too many flaws. These are 720P and look great on my 4K TV.

Busboys - this is fucking painful to watch. I can't rightly pin down what is salvageable here outside of one single man, the guy from The Chair Company who got tricked into working naked, pulling out 3-4 laughs from an abysmal script. It is nonsensical, none of the jokes land, it squanders an exceptional amount of talent, and it makes me second-guess if anybody involved (outside of The Chair Company guy) is even funny in the first place. David Spade seems to think that it's Joe Dirt 3, Theo Von may actually be a retarded person, and Tim DIllon is somehow terrible at his snarky schtick within the context of what he is given.

It is one of the stranger comedies that I've ever seen. It is almost experimental uncomfort humor where it's just taunting you with things to make you not laugh.

I just watched Apex (2026).
2/10, It's a Charlize Theron movie, starring Charlize theron, picturing charlize theron, produced by charlize theron, directed by charlize theron. 95% of the moving is her doing a face in a forest / jungle.
I put 2/10 and not 1/10 because the landscape are ok.
