I agree with all those points except part of the first. The grey Imperial uniforms, the architecture and whole Triumph of the Will sense of grandeur - not to mention the fact that they have Stormtroopers - are all in keeping with portrayals of the Nazis in the movies of the post-war era*

First time round I was getting big Apocalypse Now helicopter attack vibes from the battle in Scarif until someone pointed out that Star Wars has always proudly worn its WW2 movie heritage on its sleeve (for better or worse in the case of the Last Jedi) and the tropical coral atoll setting is definitely more in

Hell yeah. Also I’ll add that not only does the character of Dracula have form when it comes to ghoulish resurrections, but Cushing is also not the first Dracula actor to be ghoulishly resurrected himself - Bela Lugosi’s famous posthumous performance in Plan 9 From Outer Space springs to mind.

When will this madness end!?

If they did that and hired the make-up crew from The Crown, he’d have been indistinguishable! 

Sadly, Twelve Monkeys was not the remake of ‘Twelve Angry Men’ that I was hoping for. 

My favourite scene in Heat is when McAuley escapes surveillance from Hanna’s team by firing a tethered balloon into the air and being scooped up by a passing C-130 Hercules.

The snooty condescending attitude you’ve had to everyone replying to this is hilarious when your original post is so woefully ignorant.

They could use the real-life actor that Ellie’s looks were clearly based on however a thorny issue might be that he is now known as ‘Elliot’ and is in his mid-30’s.

How did you find the visuals on The Pacific during your rewatch?

That’s three times you’ve managed to mis-spell Jason Momoa. That takes some doing when it’s literally emblazoned across the poster you’re writing about!

Until you hicks stop re-electing Barnaby Joyce, the mis-representation by us latte-sipping leftie inner city types will continue! 

I don’t see what the fuss is all about. Yes the CGI looks a little iffy but it’s passable and didn’t  shatter the suspension of disbelief I have to have when watching Space Fantasy films. Unlike a certain ridiculous snails-pace WW2 bomber scene jammed into Last Jedi.

I believe Papa Doc Duvalier, Idi Amin, Pol Pot and the Japanese POW Camp Guards of World War 2 would like a word…

To be fair she was being chased by Wile E Coyote

Agreed. I’m all for fantasticly impossible spectacles such as Heli-Carriers and the like but there still needs to be a slight grounding in reality. One bit that stood out for me was when Natasha and Yelena were descending by parachute and Taskmaster sans parachute appears to be falling at the same rate.
It reminded me

I’m still trying to get the parachute on my module to open without being shredded! 

I just started playing KSP today! I already have the blood of many a kerbal on my hands*

*Figuratively speaking of course. They’re mostly ash.

Why do we have an article fussing over the name of a particular equestrian team member when the REAL star of the article is the epically monikered ‘Don Juan van de Donkhoeve”!?

None were quite as impressive as Bobby Farrell’s portrayal however
