The original film is an absolute classic, one of Arnies best. I picked up the remake on Blu-ray in a charity shop for a couple of quid because it was a nice steel book. I hadn’t seen it in years, it’s a just a mediocre sci-fi adventure.

I remember back in the day, the film caused a bit of controversy in the news for being so violent. It was being compared to Die Hard 2 and which film had the most on screen deaths.

I remember reading an interview with Verhoeven at the time. He says that Arnie dies in the chair at Rekall at the end, it’s all in his head. That’s why the film fades to white at the end.

I used to use this app a lot but I found it started to work less and less. If you follow the right links, there is talk of a new version 3 of the app but I don’t know if that’s still being worked on.

I find that redlib is more reliable for Reddit browsing. It does stop working occasionally but only for a few hours usually.

This is a fantastic film and even my wife who was not a Cruise fan really enjoyed it too. It looks like we’re getting very close to a sequel as well.

I can help out by buying a decently feature laden packed 4K disc. 😁

I recently found this in a charity shop for £2, snapped it up straight way. Although I haven’t got around to watching it yet.

I had no idea about this, thank you.

That reminds me of that old first person shooter, The Operative: No One Lives Forever.

This is a game that had a following and people have asked for a remaster or even just a GOG release.

The problem is, no one actually knows who owns it today. It’s a bit of a legal mess.

There’s something tricky about converting pdf to epub that I can never get to work properly. Maybe it’s too do with the way the pdf is put together?

I could highlight the text of the pdf and paste it into a document but it would come out different in places. I tried this experiment because the calibre conversion was doing the same thing.

I tried many online converters but none of them could do it either. In the end, I read the converted epub and just had to mentally correct the words that didn’t properly convert.

I know everyone is focused on Leto but bloody hell, the film news sites all seem to be jumping on the lets bash Tron bandwagon in the last few days.

With everyone shitting on it, as a Tron fan, my expectations became quite low. But I was pleasantly surprised, it was a good, entertaining movie. I just thought the plot was a bit weak. Definitely picking up the 4K disc when it turns up.

EDIT: If you are interested, I just uploaded my long waffling review.

I think the only item that interested me was that I can play Alan Wake 2 next month for “free”.

You can listen to one complete song now, it was released last month because it’s used in the trailer.

It’s probably on YouTube somewhere but there’s an excellent documentary that uses the footage shot by the Russians at the time of the accident.

Harrowing at times but fascinating. Especially when you discover that the mini series is mostly fact, such as that crazy bit when they get men to work those short shifts on the roof, shoveling radioactive debris into the hole.

The Wiki page on this film is quite interesting. Basically, this reboot started life as Cliffhanger 2 which was announced in 1994.

From then on, the film has been in development hell right up until October 2025 when Stallone pulled out of the project. It was then developed into this reboot.

Apparently, this isn’t actually Superman 2, as reported on SuperHeroHype:

On one of his posts on Threads, where Gunn stated that he was busy with sequel writing, a user named @alexromval asked, “I’m a little confused right now. Is this the same movie you’ve talked about in the past, the one where you said Superman had a major role but wasn’t exactly a sequel? Or is this a different movie, and this one is actually ‘SUPERMAN 2’?”

To this, the veteran filmmaker replied, “Yes, yes, sorry. This is the same movie. Superman has a major role. It’s not Superman 2.” Another user asked Gunn if this movie is “not a direct sequel to Superman?” In response, he conveyed that Peacemaker Season 2 is more of a direct sequel to Superman, featuring David Corenswet.
