  1. Oooh - hadn’t heard that rumour. That would be great! The best thing in recent years in the franchise was Alien Isolation - PS4 game that amped the suspense up so well! involves her daughter searching for her mum and has some super tense “oh - have haven’t taken a breath for a few mins” moments! Trailer looks good for Romulus! Fingers crossed!
  2. Ooh - that’s a nice set. Did buy that one - not sure where it is at the mo, up in the loft no doubt!
  3. I’m giving another shout out to ST3 - this disk set in particular is so nice and very relaxing to listen to when working. Will be quoting the dialogue away! ST2 is the best film combo without doubt (all the pieces work so well), but I just feel ST3’s score works even better with nods to 2. Lovely stuff! Currently playing as you might guess!
  4. Can’t go wrong with Flash & Highlander - turned me into a big fan of the band! Those tracks elevate those great films so much.

    The Acolyte

    Fingers crossed for this one. Trailer was good to watch. 30 min episode will make it easy watching for those dreading getting sucked in to another show. Be fascinating to see what it’s like so far in the past. Hopefully we see some differences and it doesn’t just look and feel the same…
  6. Bit random, but this new age of working from home a lot more brings some changes. When ploughing on with some routine spreadsheet work, I find it nice to pop a CD (alright grandad! ), with a classic soundtrack! Have been enjoying loads of popular classics, but standouts are: 1. Star Trek 3 (expanded score 2 disc set) - just love this! Recent purchase and defo my fave of the ST films! 2. Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome - I know the film divides opinion, but I am a fan and this disk is packed with the instrumental tracks as well as the big T’s two songs. Lovely stuff! 3. All the Bonds! So many versions of this out there, but basically all the main songs to the JB films. Nice to have on in the background! 4. Local Hero - film is fantastic and so unlike anything else. The score is a big part of that being so successful. So I prefer a largely instrumental score, just to avoid distractions when working, but with a few exceptions like above and also things like Pulp Fiction or other belters!
  7. I do wonder what it would be like to play this when not having any experience of the original PS1 game, but I am not that person! This game is amazing. Currently on chapter 8 of 14, and just loving it! Looks & sounds amazing, story has been fleshed out nicely and so many fun nods to small scenes in the original. On top of this, a ton of new content that really enhances the journey! Magical experience!
  8. Presumably that - attempts to clone those with force abilities as tests for the eventual Palpatine back up. Maybe it’s just failed versions of him, but the early tests could be based on captured Jedi - maybe some of those we saw in the Obi-Wan series? Hopefully we see more of that.
  9. Thursday can’t come quick enough!
  10. Well! Over the past 2 weeks, I have been doing a rewatch of the films in prep for watching the latest, now it has dropped on Sky for all. As per my earlier post, it was mad how little I remembered of each outside of the first one which I am a big fan of. Lots of familiar things, but merged across the films! 2nd one is still dreadful. Hits all the wrong notes and found myself clock watching throughout. “Gotta get through this” vibes. 3rd is superb. Great cast, great plot - love it. “Ghost Protocol” is solid - good to have Renner join the gang. Not as good as 1 & 3. “Rogue Nation” was fantastic! My favourite overall of the sequels. Superb villain, excellent intro for Ilsa Faust (great character through the franchise). The set pieces in the opera, Morocco & London were brilliantly done. “Fallout” had a lot of praise on here, and I can see why. Great fun, but not as good as Rogue Nation for me. I just felt it too obvious about Cavill’s character, but still great fun. “Dead Reckoning part 1” - just finished watching this. Hard to mark this one as it’s the only “first parter” in the series. A lot depends on where they go in part 2 for me. But I had great fun watching. Definitely helped having rewatched the others as a refresher. Desert battle to start with looked fab. Airport sequence - are there no security people? All sorts of undercover running around, through secure doors, on roofs - this section bugged me. Rome - fantastic chase sequences! Brought back a lot of nice memories of the classic “Italian Job” from the ‘60s with the Fiat in place of the Mini’s! Loved that and same for Venice with tense close quarters fights in narrow streets. And as for the final sequence on the train - brilliant from start to finish! Epic and looked fantastic! Overall plot - yeah, fine, but let’s see how pt2 goes as that might retroactively change opinion. AI being the villain is a good idea, draw attention to the dangers! A lot of 2001 vibes - Kubrick knew where it was all going! Fingers crossed I can remember it all this time for the next film when it comes out next year!
  11. Enjoyed the opening 3 episodes for series three! Very nice start and some interesting developments. I like where they are going with Project Necromancer - good to have some explanations that the reason cloning force users hasn’t happened is down to a loss of midichlorian count, so they are searching for a way to maintain it for the new clone as a link to the events of the sequel trilogy. Not a big fan of those films but it’s nice to see them try and get some sense into them. Good to see where we go now for our Bad Batch team!

    Creed 3

    Nice list Zathras - only change I might make is swapping 1 & 3 round, but agree with the rest there mate. Also haven’t see Creed 3, but enjoyed the first 2 a lot!
  13. Finished up the 2nd season and agree the Kahhori episode was one of the strongest. Also enjoyed the Hela & Nebula episodes. The others were much of a muchness. The 1602 one was just nonsense, as was the Christmas one, although I did raise a smile at one or two of the Die Hard references. Personally I am happy with self contained What If’s - I have no desire for them all to be linked somehow. But that’s the way they go.
  14. Carl Weathers has passed away at the age of 76. Very sad news to hear - what a legend
  15. Thanks for the tip! Ordered the first book, so will hopefully find some time to get my reading hat back on!
