@Jecht_Ultima it's not that great in my opinion and i agree that if you already weren't digging snyder's direction then his cut probably won't blow you away but you may as well watch if you have even a passing interest in DC.
@TheFrenchiestFry WW Bloodlines was aces! That's a thing people say right? Aces? Anyway, I enjoyed it.

@RR529 Kentucky Fried Movie is one of my guilty pleasures. You are right, seriously aged in some points so some jokes are not PC by today's standards. However for pure silliness, it has some great moments. My favourite being the 'show me your nuts' joke.

@Rudy_Manchego, and here I thought the Street Fighter II write-up was going to be the one more likely to garner a response, lol.
Seriously, I'm pleasantly surprised every time I watch some obscure older movie on Amazon & someone mentions they have seen it (especially because most of the time it's the first time I've heard of it). They don't tend to be much watch films, but some can be fun & KFM was definitely that in spots.
The one skit I can definitely say I didn't like was the death one (where the family was going about their daily lives towing the rotting corpse of one of their kids with them acting like he was still alive). Just didn't click with me on any level.

@RR529 Agreed - the death one was never particularly amusing at all. Some are very much rooted in 1970's culture but some of the extreme silliness is fun and you can see they took that energy into their next film, Airplane.

All this time delaying Black Widow just to release it to theaters and streaming the same day anyway. Dumb.

@zupertramp It’s really weird. It looks like a pile of crap so I’ll just wait for it to hit free streaming. Which is the first time I haven’t seen a Marvel movie in the cinema. I’ve went to see every single one with my mum since I was 7 years old.
Black Widow I'm probably watching on Disney+ as well but I definitely want to catch the other Phase Four stuff in theaters.
Hopefully Shang Chi doesn't waste all the buildup in regards to The Mandarin's presence in the films considering we never actually got to see Tony Stark fight his most recognizable nemesis and the catalyst for the entire journey he's been on as a character
Looks like the Snyder Cut is getting a 4k blu ray release - across 2 disks. No date has been set yet but it has just been updated on my rental list, and they are usually pretty accurate as they were bang on with WW 84 dates.

I'd definitely pick that up physically. Especially if they come out with one of those steelbooks with commemorative art by Jim Lee (DC Comics artist) like they did for Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman and the theatrical version of Justice League
I was super pleasantly surprised by how the movie turned out considering how on and off I was about the other DC films he directed.
I know the second disc is likely the Ultra HD 4K version of the film but I wonder if they're also going to release the "Justice is Gray" version physically given Snyder seems particularly proud of that variant of the film
@TheFrenchiestFry I’m definitely going to watch the B&W version but we didn’t get it over here in the UK so hopefully it arrives on the 4K Blu-Ray. The cinematography was already breathtaking but the trailers for the B&W version are even better looking.
@TheFrenchiestFry Apparently it is 2 disks just for the 4K version, . When I rent the films I only get the 4k disk when available, that is what i've seen been listed. It could be the extra versions like the black and white versions, or the special features are also in 4K which is not the norm. Tenet was listed as 2 disks but the film was only on the first disk.
And yeah, a steel book version has been confirmed.
@RogerRoger No problem. I think the steel book is exclusive to HMV, who I've used before online. Sometimes they can take a bit to dispatch stuff, but they always email to keep you updated. They also have regular 2 for 30 quid deals on 4K disks which I taken advantage of on a few occasions.

@Th3solution bit late to the convo but I just see your thoughts on Blade Runner 2049. I absolutely love that movie. It's such a slow burn with absolutely stunning shots. Great acting with compelling characters.
I think it's way better than the original. It's annoying because I know there is a good movie somewhere in the original but with 5 different edits of the film, I don't know which one. It's just a really obtuse film to get into because of that.
Im cautiously optimistic for the Denis Villeneuve Dune film based on my experience of 2049 and also the bit of Arrival that I've seen (didn't have time to sit and watch the whole movie but I will return one day). I'm completely in love with the original Dune though, it's just so barmy and trippy with so much information to take in. I highly rate it.
So Godzilla vs. Kong is out and I’m suddenly interested. Probably because it’s free to stream for 30 days and so I feel the urgency to get to it more quickly than otherwise. However, I never took the time to watch either Godzilla: King of Monsters (I think that was the name) or Kong: Skull Island. Apparently this new movie is an actual sequel to those two? Just confirming if anyone knows if I need to watch those first. I did watch Godzilla from like 7 years ago, but it’s been a while and I remember very little. I don’t think I cared for it much. Anyways, any advice? Do I need to set aside 6-8 hours this month for the whole trilogy or just jump straight to G v K? Or none of the above?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution, Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, & Godzilla VS Kong are all part of the same shared universe.
I don't think the narrative would be so convoluted that you'd need to watch the earlier films though, as the first 3 really only had small Easter eggs referencing each other telling eagle eyed viewers "hey, this is in the same universe!".

@Th3solution I actually thought Godzilla 2014 was really good
It deemphasized Godzilla's actual presence until the third act but even then the human characters were well developed enough where you could feel the ramifications of how much of a natural threat him and the MUTO were to everyday civilian life, which was especially helped by how shots were framed from the ground level perspective like you're there with people as destruction is ensuing
I honestly think it's a better film than KoM. KoM sounded like it would be amazing but it focused on really flat, almost cartoony human characters and the monster fights were still hard to follow due to most of them taking place in rain or in complete darkness
