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.

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

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You think that looks decent?  :lol:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

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?

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.

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.
