Fan used blender to recreat the fight between Godzilla and the MUTO from the 2014 US Godzilla film, but as if it was done in the original Showa Era films with suits and miniatures. -

The TV and Streaming Thread: That's Entertainment!
Amentep replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Way Off-Topic
Watched the premiere of the CW's "Sherlock & Daughter". David Thewlis is Sherlock Holmes, Blu Hunt is Amelia Rojas, from California and of Native American descent (and I'm guessing Spanish ancestry as well based on the surname). Sherlock is stymied by a blackmail plot that has put Watson and Mrs. Hudson under threat if he intercedes in an ongoing plot that involves kidnapping the children of ambassadors in England. Amelia Rojas' mother has been murdered and was left a message by her mom that if that happened, Amelia was to find Sherlock Holmes, her father (which he denies when presented with the idea). She travels from California to London and shenanigans happen leading Holmes to realize that Rojas presents an opportunity for him to act without tipping off whoever has snared him in their trap (probably Moriarty). I feel they give Amelia enough of a background sketch in the opening that it goes towards explaining why she is a skilled and capable potential partner for Holmes. Thewlis and Hunt are good. I like the cut between scenes using map shots showing people travel, Raider of the Lost Ark, style that actually give an interesting idea about how much time it might have taken to travel in the time period. There's an aspect of it that is anachronistic, not unlike the 70s shows set in the 20s and 30s that were both period & 70s at the same time. Not enough at this time to be a bother. There's an invention mentioned that reminded me a bit of Murdoch Mysteries ahistorical inventions. I liked it enough to give a few more episodes a try. -

I rewatched all 4 recently. Should rewatch Supergirl at some point, but I don't think they did a 4K remastering on it like they did the Salkind's Superman films. Also watching the Salkind's Superboy series atm. Lol. -

Watched Powell and Pressburger's THE RED SHOES. Great visuals, and a good dramatic storyline. Moira Sheerer, Anton Walbrook and Marius Goring make a good triangle (not sure it can really be called a love triangle, even if love is a part of it). -

Rip. He was in a lot of movies and tv shows, but I always think of him and the short lived Wizards & Warriors.

Well Eggers like historical detail; everything I've read indicates Orlok's look was spot on for period, location and status. It is amusingly anti-handsome stud vampire though! Which, in its way, the original was too. -

Personally I loved Nosferatu. It felt like Eggers was trying to take the basic Dracula story (as cribbed by the original Nosferatu) and draw together a take on the material that tries to get to the heart of the vampire story, using myth, magic and esoteric thought. It also plays symbolically as a story regarding the destructive nature of men who obsess over an individual woman and how that woman is trapped by such obsessions towards them. -
I spent the last 3 days putting ~2,000 comics in new short bins and trying to organize a little. Admittedly I gave up on the last 6 bins (or my back did) so I didn't actually keep track of what went into those bins other than to make sure a few small groups of comics weren't in them. Now I'll spend a few weekends writing what's in the bins in a more specific sense and all that so that once I've got everything in new bins I can start putting like titles together in some sort of logical way.
