WAY further.
Her name was Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.

25fps is standard PAL frame rate. (based on half AC mains frequency, hence why US is 30fps) BluRay does handle 25p/50i, but American devices may not have the facility to read them.
Audio is carried on a totally different and independent stream, so it appears as though the device is slowing down everything to match…

Interlaced video is ALWAYS inferior to progressive scan,
and 1080p DOES support 25fps. It’s just the crappy BluRay spec appears not to.

More for the BBC to milk dry.
This stuff was mainly shot on crappy 625 line PAL video and 16mm film.
No amount of turd polishing is going to improve it.

Since when was Wizard of Oz, The Exorcist, King Kong or even Mad Max “science fiction”? There is no science in any of them.
Seriously, stop trying to shoehorn shit to fill copy.

A black, gay man in a wheelchair, even.

It’s nice to see a nod in the opening shot to the brilliance of Peter Ellenshaw’s gorgeous matte paintings of the London skyline in the original.
(and you can see Battersea power station!)

I think production design should have gone to Blade Runner: 2049, and whilst the design of Shape of Water was beautiful, BR’s was awe-inspiring and matched up to it’s predecessor.

That said, whilst Blade Runner: 2049's visual effects were sumptuous,
I thought the effects of War for the Planet of the Apes were truly…

I’m sorry, but I think the writer here has a personal agenda.
Sure, Get Out was a good film. It was a good film that incorporated a black concept. As a gay man, I thought Call Me By My Name was a beautiful film (with a gay concept), and it too was recognised.

“Whenever we’re in a physical or cultural space, the meaning gets multiplied and we have to carry the extra weight. If we’re the first, last, majority or minority to do something, it has to get unpacked. Shit is exhausting. Extra work we don’t get paid for and we’re supposed to be happy about it because we’re…

It looks awesome, but I still doubt if Parker Posey will ever deliver those lines in the same way. “Oh, the pain, the pain!”

Soule’s Skyrim score was utterly stunning.

Bear Mcreary. He has an awesome way of mixing brilliant classical scores with the underlying menace and power of subtle synths.
He really deserves a big time break.

You want alien and breathtaking?
I’m surprised you missed this.

Star Wars lost it’s mojo after ROTJ.

Make them gay then and see how well they are accepted.

If you only live to thirty, fifteen is “middle aged”.

Where there’s a Whill there’s a way...

The bit I remember in the cinema was the false scare where the music built and it turned out to be just a fish... AND THEN A DAMN HUMAN HEAD FELL OUT.

I swear to god the entire audience shot two foot up in the air and screamed.

I sneaked downstairs around eight years old one night to catch the late night horror movie with the sound turned way down, and it was an old 1964 William Castle chiller with Barbara Stanwyck called The Night Walker. Tame by today’s standards it scared the living crap out of me and I never sneaked down again.
