I didn’t know Scott teased about the directors cut, but watching it I could quickly tell there would be one and Scott also knew there’d be one while he was editing the main release. The feel of the film had a “fine, well cut it short“ vibe all over it.
Alright Sabre foregoing lightning wielding sith who throw their Sabres strategically then!
Ha.
It’s funny, I like wheel of time. The show got me to read the books … and I noped out of them half way through book 4 … but will happily continue to watch the show.
Yea … probably more hyped for this than I ever was for rings of power.
Hermit: Monster Killer (2016) IMDB
A hilarious monster flick made on Sweden. With incredible special effects and a great performance by Borje Lundberg.
It’s in Swedish, so you need to find the subtitles in English.
Haven’t watched it in years but it’s a classic everyone should watch, absolutely gut wrenching. Some of it was later used in a Metallica music video bringing it back to notoriety somewhat.
La Grande Bouffe (1973) wikipedia
The film tells the story of four friends who gather in a villa for the weekend, with the express purpose of eating themselves to death.
Lost Highway (1997) wikipedia
A David Lynch film. I’ve not seen his 90s films but always meant to. After hearing of his illness, I figure now is as good a time as any
Meet the Feebles (wikipedia)
Released in 1989, this is an early-ish Peter Jackson movie (yes, the LOTR guy).
It’s a lurid and disturbing backstage comedy of a troupe similar to The Muppet Show.
I watched it with one friend in the mid 90s who, when it ended, stood, turned to me, and said “It is possible to go too far” before leaving the room.
The Cremaster Cycle (wikipedia)
This is probably as pretentiously art house as you can get … I’ve never seen it but always meant to. It’s probably hard to get a hold of … but I’m putting it here anyway
Blade (1998)
Various things have reminded me of this … it came up in a community episode, the MCU version in development hell etc … thought it might be interesting to revisit as a flavour that the MCU has definitely not explored
Dredd (2012)
“One of my favorite action movies”
Sneakers
A ‘hacking’ movie that holds up brilliantly despite outdated technology. Excellent cast, characters, story, and pacing IMO.
Excellent suggestion!!
Yea I realised a while ago that time just stopped passing for me around 2018 … everything’s just a blur since then.
Thanks so much for the suggestions! I was worried no one would be into this “fringe” idea!!

It appears to be on Disney+ AFAICT (I’m not subscribed).
and lacks subtitles.
This I suspect is an underappreciated aspect of the dynamics at the moment. More broadly, it’s about the personalisation of the watching experience. Screen size, seating/lying position, noise and brightness, subtitles and their language, audio configuration (where you can optimise your home set up to help with dialogue clarity or “epicness”)
You have my axe on this one! I saw it twice in the cinema when it came out.
While there are few things to find disappointing about covenant, for it was the attempt to put Prometheus aside and give the fans the Xeno they always want.
