Old thread, but last night I watched "Johnny Got His Gun", wow! A movie I only just discovered and is probably well known from the music video, which back in the day I I kind of thought was created for the video so I never sought it out, and was unfortunate because that made it feel like it dragged a bit as I already knew and was waiting for the ending, and then when it came it felt a bit rushed and also sadly lacking the heft and emotional punch it would have had if unseen. Is a pity as I just watched the music video and is bacically a short edit of the entire film.

Excellent 80s gem, among so many excellent 80s gems.

Surprised there is not more discussion? The only Star Wars movie I didn't see in the cinema going back to a New Hope I saw twice in cinema as a 7 yo kid. So watched this the other day along with Terminator Dark Fate, the other movie I hadn't see of the entire franchise in the cinema.. Right from the start of this new trilogy they had completely forgettable characters and names Ray, Po and Finn and throughout was little chemistry or that they were even friends compared to the OT 3. And the reveal she is a Palpatine and dropping old wrinkle face an

Finally got around to seeing this, and this SPOILER review sums it up pretty well for me, and had watched this first, so was prepared for this, great to see Linda and Arnie back, and OK action film and with some horribly obvious CG as already said, but as a Terminator movie..

wow

Been a while since I was here... and hope I wasnt out of line with that crack about audio snobs 😉

Yeah definitely, that accent is bloody awful, but he plays the role well. A bit confused there with it just up to ep 4 of season 2 now?

Awesome, thanks, will do 👍

Yeah always fearful following seasons won't live up to expectations but has delivered in spades.

I was sure I started a Porcupine Tree thread yonks ago... Are always a regular spin but even more of late and especially The Incident with Time Flies really resonating with me as I close in on 50. His solo stuff is great too, but would love to hear a new PT album. Perhaps a pity he gave them such an odd obscure name as he really deserves greater success.. mainstream success.. not just among us audio snobs lol

Brilliant show, streaming on Amazon Prime. I would recommend going in cold as I did, however it has been advertised on FTA with the S2 launch. Karl Urban is great in this, but took a me a while to recognise Antony Starr who is brilliant and maybe one of the best depictions of the internal conflicts of his character.

A brilliant war movie that's greatness is equaled by its anonymity, apparently only made $55k at the Box-Office. Tells the tale of a Russian tank in Afghanistan during the war and their battle with a local small group of Mujahadeen. American actors play the russian's but luckily no fake accents, with subtitles for the Afghans. Excellent acting all round, fantastic cinematography aided by the barren landscape, a gripping story that also depicts the rigours of operating a tank, and a fantastic score. I love finding hidden gems like this, highly recommended. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00947
