Joss Whedon did a top job pulling all these elements together as he did. He is cinematic gold right now.

THIS!!!

 

Spot on John!

 

This is soooo much the mystery for me. I know that Ridley has been putting a lot of stuff into production lately in the hope that more projects would reach fruition. Often projects start up and don't go anywhere, even for Ridley but I kind of assumed that this was part of an effort to leave a lagacy of great works after he was gone but...

 

Ridley talks a lot about not doing anything to upset the studios. He seems waaaay more concerned about this than far less successful directors. I find it odd as he is one of the most powerful people in the British film industry. He has a significant interest in Shepperton studios and must surely have made enough money to fund his own films.

 

None of it really makes sense. I can only think that over time he must have become trapped in a certain way of thinking.

 

I can't believe he is doing it for the money, I mean is he saving up for a jewel lined coffin or a pyramid to be built in his honor or something?

 

I think it's odd to compromise the work heavily to appease the studios.

He used to have a reputation of taking no shite from studios and getting his own way. Maybe he is getting mellow in his old age.

Beautiful but also very stark.

Blu-ray is continuing to rise. Whilst I personally think Digital copies are a waste, they can be helpful to mothers with kids who have an Ipod or computer. DVD's is a mixed point. It's obviously there to appease the die hard DVD fans but it merely adds cost to a Blu-ray set. I am purposefully trying to get rid of my DVD collection (700) and replace with Blu-ray (500 so far) yet they keep putting in DVD's that I really don't need or want.

Seriously impressed Gregory. what type of movie is his new one, action I take it.

I look forward to seeing that, at home. homefully I will be 3D ready by the time it comes out on Blu-ray.

I definitely think it's worth watching.

Well the good news is that The game is coming out in Blu-ray at the end of September. So you can get more of your Fincher fix.

My friend who lives in East London was initially very pleased and proud that London won the Olympic bid for 2012, that was until he realized just how much each Londoner was going to foot the bill (transport, police, security etc) all that with little chance of actually being able to afford to see any of the events. Now he is very annoyed by the whole thing.

I must say I have never had any problems with any of the shakeycam footage I have seen, Cloverfield, Bourne Trilogy and Hunger Games and never had any issues.

I'm glad the writing has gotten a lot better. Some of the 70's stuff was atrocious.

Some places allow you to P/X your old DVDs for the equivalent Blu-ray. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

Well, Ridley Scott has indicated that a director's cut will soon be available on Blu-ray. I'm hoping that the November BD release will have that cut and not have to wait down the line for it.

Watched it Wednesday night. Thoroughly enjoyed it, though it was lacking in the scare factor.

The 3D was not in your face like the New Spider-Man trailer. Just there when needed.

Well worth watching. Make sure you don't get up when the trailers begin.

I've been a bit lukewarm towards 3D in cinemas, however I have decided when I do upgrade my projector (in 6-8 months) I will opt for a 3D model. Will probably go for an Epson or possibly a Panasonic. Maybe 3D will be more satisfying at home. I already have quite a few 3D movies at home from combo packs.

Well, I have a ticket reserved for tomorrow night at IMAX 3D. Really looking forward to it.

I NEVER leave the cinema until I know there is no more footage coming up.

Definitely not convinced. Not from folk who actually love their movies and not just watch them.

My seating area is about 12.5 feet from my screen.

I watched Underworld Awakening over the weekend on my HT and enjoyed it 10000% more than I did in the cinema. There was no comparison.

I don't want a squeaky clean, straight down the line hero. I want that dirty, in your face, don't give a **(obscenity removed)**, morally ambiguous hero.

I believe that all studios should release 2 versions of each movie (initially) one as a Blu-ray only and one with added DVD/ Digital Copy. A 2 tier system. Firstly it gives consumers a choice of whether they actually want a DVD/DC and secondly, if sales of the BD/DVD/DC drop off the studios know to release BD only.

I'd rather pay $5 less and not get a pointless DVD.

That's a pity, I love my Xenomorph action. Still looking forward to it though.

Great soundtrack.

It is indeed a very good movie. Watched it twice now, and I enjoyed it just as much the 2nd time around.
