Watched 'Black Gunn' recently, great movie but my enjoyment of it was somewhat spoiled by discovering that Jim Brown didn't appear to be such a decent guy in real life, but I do recognise that he was probably just a product of his times. Still, I love all those 1970s African American themed movies, it was a great genre that existed for a brief time in American cinematic history. I also thought the Pam Grier movie 'Coffy' was great.
@MightyDemon82 This one kinda snuck up on me. Been aware that they were making it for quite some time now, but for some reason, in my mind, it's still a long way off. Then there's a teaser trailer all of a sudden! Excited for it, but a little bit wary as I loved the previous trilogy a lot, so this one has some big shoes to fill!
@Ennui Thanks, will definitely check that out. Interestingly, the upcoming John Wick spin-off featuring Ana DeArmas is also called Ballerina, so for a moment there I thought it might have shadow-dropped already . (It's still on track for 2024, as far as I can tell)
Checked out the bonus features on my US-import 4K Collector's Edition of The Mist this weekend. The blu-rays holding the bonus features were region free, so if you're interested in these sort of things in addition to the movie, it's a safe import.
While the features were mostly the usual BTS stuff we're accustomed to, there was a lovely little featurette on the slightly eccentric but fantastically talented poster artist Drew Struzan. That little thing really elevated the bonus features for me. The man is a treasure
finally got around to watching the Hellraiser reboot on Hulu. Not bad for a movie but the cenobites were all pale instead of the usual black leather. and the whole thing about the sister letting go of her brother not to have him brought back, the plot of the movie felt more like a Wishmaster movie or something
Watched Ballerina last night, and I enjoyed it. Especially the sequence in the drug lab and huge props for including what must be the best pair of arms dealers in cinematic history!
@FuriousMachine@Ennui How does Ballerina compare to Atomic Blonde, if you have seen it. That is probably my favourite John Wick-like (I immediately hate myself for saying that lol) with female lead? I loved the eighties setting of Atomic Blonde, and how grimy it felt in places.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

From Hell which is on Tubi right now. always wanted to watch the movie years ago but never had the time or money to watch it or VHS or DVD
@JohnnyShoulder I couldn't really say, to be honest. I remember absolutely nothing from Atomic Blonde other than there was a fight in a stairwell. I know I saw it, though, and I remember that I came away somewhat disappointed, but that may have been down to wrong expectations going in. I'm considering giving at re-watch to give it a fair shake
Finished watching Foxy Brown. Great movie only slightly spoiled by a questionable scene towards the end involving the inappropriate use of a pickle jar! If any one else has seen it they'll know what I mean. That bit was a bit too much.
