Two great directors have passed away, David Lynch and Jeannot Szwarc! Such a huge shame. RIP
The amount of fake movie trivia, AI generated posts and film posters is out of control on Facebook! But this poster is comedy gold. They aren’t even trying anymore to come across as genuine with “The Dark Knight Returns in Christian Bale Returns.”

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a great day with your family and friends!
Currently writing up my review of the recent 4K release of The Terminator. I will be showing comparisons to the previous video releases including a scan of the 35mm print.
Two guilty pleasures from the 80s KRULL and Supergirl where the heroes have to battle a big monster at the end. I think the Power of Shadow in Supergirl freaked me out the most as a kid. Both films have Derek Meddings providing the visual effects.
