  1. @BigNBeardy Nah, it’s no Taxi Driver or Goodfellas.
  2. @BigNBeardy Nope. Seen it before and the same opinion remains. It’s not very deep, unlikeable characters and all a bit “so what?”
  3. @BigNBeardy It’s a really hard film to love with not much of a narrative.
  4. 20 years on from my first viewing & after a rewatch of Raging Bull tonight I still remain pretty ambivalent towards it. Taxi Driver it ain’t
  5. Whatever in blazing hell’s name is she wearing? Whatever happened to standards at the Beeb? twitter.com/Rikkiebags/sta…
  6. @calhoon Sadly Thurs for us. Earliest could get babysitters.
  7. @calhoon You planning on seeing it at t’big screen?
  8. @NicholasPegg Come on then, give us the drop on the bad guy in Star Trek 2.
  9. @siwhite0 After getting you on the Apple TV, next thing is to convert you to the glory of HD. DVDs are positively VHS in comparison.
  10. @calhoon Which is exactly the point that I retired to bed. Unbeatable languid opening.
  11. @flaming8thball Seeing it on Thurs. Based upon all the reviews and opinions of people I trust, it’s good but don’t expect a classic. Sadly.
  12. @flaming8thball Yeah, in my top 10 any day of the week bar none.
  13. Ian Holm is brilliant in #Alien. That little running on the spot he does is so innocuously menacing.
  14. @juanvasquez1984 Yeah, I understand Cameron was using a newish film stock at the time that hasn’t aged well, so they did the best they could
  15. @juanvasquez1984 One of the finest upgrades I own. Still yet to watch the HD Aliens though. Must rectify forthwith.
  16. As someone who grew up suffering shitty edited pan and scan censored films, I still find it incredible to watch 2.35:1 films in HD nowadays.
  17. @juanvasquez1984 And it looks better than ever in HD. Absolutely adore it.
  18. 33 years old and still looking better than ever, and Jerry Goldsmith’s score majestic. Love it so much. #Alien
  19. Absolutely cannot resist watching some of Alien whenever it’s on, even though I’ve got it on Blu and a couple of DVD sets. Pure class.
  20. @BigNBeardy Yeah, I remember the one. Klingons, Romulans etc all racing to find out the genesis of their genes, or something.
