Incidentally, I don't know if this works for foreigners, but I thought it may be of interest:

FYI, the BFI has its own YouTube channel, where a lot of the same content is posted for US viewers.

Oh good. I was browsing their horror selection (Blood on Satan's Claw!) and wondered if Ide had seen it.

(Blood on Satan's Claw!)

Is that a euphemism for sex with virgins? A movie extolling the horrors of pre-marital sex?

New Terminator looks surprisingly decent despite the terrible name.

You think that looks decent?

Please no not a re-image.

Even if you completely disregarded the other Terminator films, it just looks a pretty damn generic action film. A bus flipping over? You're releasing a 2015 action tentpole and that's your money shot?

Hey, Americans really don't like busses.

Reminds us of school days.

Is it a reboot?

Is it a reboot?

Doesn't look like it, more like an altered timeline, where Kyle Reese and the T-800 are sent back to the time of the original movie, only Sarah Connor is already prepared, and there's a T-1000 and an aged Arnie type T-800 running around.

Dafuq? I'll have to watch that trailer.

I dunno, after seeing that trailer, I think it could work.  Sure it almost seems like a reboot, but since time travel is such a scientifically fucked-up idea anyway, I don't see a problem playing around with it to this extent.

Now of course, there will be lots of other qualitative factors yet to consider to see if it will be a decent flick.

The trailer looks ok, although I kind of hope the effects aren't finished yet, given that they look worse than 1991's, or 2003's.

T3's car chase, iirc, used a lot of really awesome practical effects and real vehicles.  Looks amazing and all by itself justifies that unfairly derided movie.  (Even if the ending already didn't, which it totally did.)

Guardians of the Galaxy.

Great. I love Chris Pratt in Parks and Rec but he's incredibly winning here, it's very impressive.

Also Vin Diesel's best ever role.
