Classifieds / 3 boxes of progs for collection
19 January, 2024, 06:00:24 PM
Hi all,

I have 3 boxes and a carrier bag full of 80's and 90's progs, and there may be some '70's treasure in there as well, I honestly don't know.

I'm in Worcester and will happily give these to anyone who can collect, no moneys expected.

I mean... I hope this doesn't come across as virtue signalling, but Robocop seemed like a blatant Dredd ripoff when I was 15! I have mellowed in the intervening decades, and now see it as flattery, especially since Robocop is one of the best films of the decade IMO.

That was my favourite gag in the movie, perfectly executed.

Two thumbs up from me. The trailer had me optimistic and the film exceeded all expectations. Great script, absolutely hilarious in places (who didn't guffaw at the paladin walking in a straight line?), and a good emotional centre. I've grown tired of Chris Pine over the years but he anchored D&D like a pro. I hope we get another.

I've been nervously waiting for it to jump the shark. So far, so good. They should just continue into a next-next-gen era spin-off to twin with Strange New Worlds and be done with it. Given Frakes' excellent performance, I'd be quite happy with him at the conn of a new show.

McV's Digestives. Cup of tea and a small stack, dip your way to heaven.

I only ever expected two seasons, so that messaging must have been clear some time ago.

We rewatched Predator 2 last week. God almighty, that film is a pile of shit. One good shot of the predator in strobe lights crawling across the roof of a tube train doesn't rescue it, unfortunately.

Depends what you mean by 'hit'. Just a quick perusal of page 1 of Empire's review list (https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/) shows there are plenty of original movies being made.

From his swedish mountaintop hideout. As pure a WTF moment as we have ever achieved.

I've just started Wheel of Time, so that's 2023 sorted.

If you cut off the first few minutes and the last few minutes The Wonder was great.
I tend to think the last act of the film should be seen in a different light with those sections in place, so I wouldn't want them removed.

For me the Final Solution in many ways was the beginning of the end for me and few years after that I basically stopped by sub. I rediscovered the prog about 10 years ago and was glad that I could do the whole digital thing otherwise I would not have been able to return to the fold.
Almost identical story for me as well.

Given the abuse she's apparently been subjected to, I'm amazed she lasted this long.

The Wonder--Unhurried period piece set in post-famine Ireland. Florence Pugh is an English nurse imported to observe the day-to-day of a young girl who hasn't eaten in months. Very good, even if it doesn't ultimately dig its claws all the way into its setup. Brilliant cast, all doing excellent work.
