A lot of tired recycled arguments we've all heard before. The bundling of DVDs with a Blu-ray release is a North American phenomenon. Physical media sales are still very strong, but yes, they are in decline. Physical media is going to be around for at least another decade. Though I suspect UHD will bomb. Given that…

Spot on. Having worked in a great indie store and a soulless corporate rock shithole, both in the early 90's. This movie really rang hollow. Pump Up The Volume is no masterpiece, but the characters concerns rang true. The kids of Empire seemed to be just bland cyphers with shit music taste and yeah, where were the…

So many happy memories associated with this very talented lady, who has left us way to soon. My condolences to her family.

Goodbye to another friend of my youth.
My condolences to his loved ones.

Hep Alien reform. The Replacements break up (again).
The Dirty Three said it best, "Everything's Fucked".

Agreed. I was, if you will forgive the phrase, "Taking the piss." Playing the Aussie shit stirrer. American confidence, can do attitude and warmth is widely admired. The issue of gun ownership/control perplexes us. We of course have our own social ills/injustices.
Bloody Fosters. Undrinkable swill. It grieves me and…

Once again a proponent of gun ownership declares his fear of the democratically elected federal government. I get that, regardless of your personal politics, you maybe distrustful of all politicians. But,the United States enjoys relatively stable government. Many countries do not. If there has been an attempt or…

This is quite rightly near the top of great classic Who. Growing up in Oz in the 70's & 80's. We enjoyed constant repeats of Who from Spearhead From Space through to the newest EPs, Mon-Thurs at 6:35pm. I don't know how many times I've seen Pyramids. But it still scares the shit outta me. Baker is at his peak. The…

A really sad day, that I hope is mitigated by fans he has inspired keeping his techniques and standards of excellence alive.Here's hoping film schools and Universities make use of his truly great talent. His work has been such a wonderful, awe inspiring part of my film loving life. Thank you Sir. Respect

Oops.

Flowers and a coconut slice and I'm all yours.

Please point out how Weir and Jackson's work was changed by Hollywood.
Remember that Jackson has never made any secret of his love of spectacle.
Weir was just a stupid, poorly researched choice for this article.

I did read the article and I gave it the drubbing such poorly thought out writing deserves.

Two big thumbs down A.V. Club. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one.
Seriously? A director who dares to work with major U.S. studios and bigger budgets has automatically lost their edge and sold out.
Peter Weir making American Blockbusters? I didn't realise films such as Witness, The Mosquito Coast and…

A enjoyable romp that sits happily alongside Crichton's own films of the 1970s.
I'd read terrible.word of mouth about it and missed it at the cinema. I finally got to it on DVD, after a friend's recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed it. Test screenings are ridiculous. They rarely improve a film. It often appears that…

Congratulations.
My deepest sympathies.
Please choose which salutation best suits you.
"I'm just trying to feel young again.."
Amen to that.

Heretic! (Me raising my right arm and pointing at you as I open my mouth and distort my face in the best Donald Sutherland in Philip Kaufman's brilliant "Invasion of The Body Snatchers" remake impersonation).
Oh well.
I tried?
Shuffles off stage, head in hands, "God, I'm so old."

You spoiler person you. I was trying to avoid identifying her as the leavee. Oh, sod it! I guess it's old enough for spoiler's not to matter. But, yeah in this de-volution, self-autonomy age, it did seem regressive to be such a "Colonised" show.

And what was it with everyone but the luminous Laura Fraser being English. Yes it's the UK, but come on. It's set in Glasgow and somehow the majority of characters are English. It largely follows the Queer as Folk template and the only reason for watching leaves at the start of series 2.

Yeah, I get that. But it's the tone of the original that best suits this montage,
The original version is both celebratory and I think it would also read as a humourous comment on the visuals. Whereas the cover, enjoyable as it is, just feels like dated post-everything 90's snarc!
You know? What we do here on the A.V.…
