I never find Marc Warren particularly convincing as a "regular guy", but he's pretty spectacular at scenery chewing weirdos and fantasy characters. With the right role he's really great.

I looked up 4K BD after I'd left the comment and discovered this. But it's still essentially the same BluRay disk that goes into the player from what I can see. The physical format hasn't changed. Each upgrade in format is likely to have fewer people taking it up, and more switching to digital options. Eventually…

There are obvious exceptions, and you've listed most of them, but the central film in a trilogy tends to suffer from having no real beginning OR end.

I suspect this will be what ultimately fuels the death of physical media: a format that outgrows even the storage capacity of BluRay. I can't see another physical media format being created from now on. It'll be BluRays until everyone uses Cloud/HD storage.

I'm with you on the Two Towers, that film is better in extended format. But I do love that film in all forms. Might actually be my favourite of the three, which is impressive for the middle film in a trilogy.

It's compound too though. It has a swing rhythm. You can't just write it in 7/8. It's probably really alternating bars of 12/8 and 9/8 (which I went with) or alternating bars of 4/4 and 3/4 with swung quavers.

I definitely wouldn't say it was great: it's pretty skippable, but it's very complicated for a throwaway love ballad.

All You Need Is Love is extremely cheesy, but it gets a lot of points back for being written in something like 21/8 time. I got a major shock trying to knock out a quick instrumental arrangement for a wedding.

From the thread of comments: it looks like many people have fond memories of whatever Adam Sandler films they saw:

Or the short film that Sandler's remake is based on: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I definitely saw Waterboy, Little Nicky and Big Daddy: pretty certain one of those was in a cinema. I was young back then - I didn't love them, but I was sufficiently entertained as a kid. Back then it looked like he was putting effort in at least.

It always used to amuse me that RottenTomatoes used to list Rob Schneider as the director of an arthouse European movie that had an approval rating in the high 90s. It eclipsed everything else on his list by a street.

I really liked that film, but I couldn't decide whether the kids' acting style was intentional. I think I read more into it than was intended.

I think it was supposed to be a combined version of the Game of Thrones theme & the Legend of Zelda theme, but it didn't really work too well.

Just realised this was (part?) produced by RedGiant - love those guys. Their Adobe AfterEffects tutorials are incredible.

I'm pretty sure he'd have been more than willing to take the client. He didn't really have a problem with the idea of selling it as a sex toilet. It was the client who rejected him, based on the suggestions he made.

The only animated series I've got any affection for are Archer, Avatar & Futurama.

I'm not really in agreement with the general thrust of the article, which seems to be that because soapy romantic YA fiction is mostly written by women, and serious weighty YA fiction is mostly written by men, we should legitimise and respect both forms. If the same person had written Twilight and The Fault in Our…

Minus a few points for the prominent links to "The Movie", which I guess is to be expected, but spoils the immersion.

But: 8 player battles!!! Sure, you can't see a damn thing on the huger stages, but…
