Just went for the regular blu ray of Switchblade Romance cos I don't need all the extra paper stuff. The 88 Films packaging for Tokyo Decadence looks exactly like Radiance Films releases. Watched Scala last night. Loved it. And how in the hell did "that" extra get through the BBFC on The Night of the Hunted?

The scenes between the young Peter Quill and his mum?

James Gunn is a great filmmaker with a quirky sense of humour that matches mine. The soundtracks to all of the GotG films are brilliant, especially the first, and the CGI to create Groot and Rocket is astonishingly good.

Switching from one comic book universe to another, I much preferred The Suicide Squad to the one that David Ayer made five years earlier.

I loved that Scala doc as well, I recall something a bit explicit on that too, only for a second but that was extra on Hunted is 10 mins of actual porn haha. The times we live in eh?

I believe Dem is being sarcastic Nos. My recollection is he wasn't a fan.

I was expecting so much from it and all we got was a flashy version of Muppets in Space. But not as good.

Unpopular view i know but for me Guardians of the Galaxy is the start of the rot in the MCU.

I did watch Spiderman: No Way Home the other week and absolutely loved it.

I don't personally agree at all with GotG being the start of the rot. In fact I think it set one of the high points. However the MCU has had its day for me. I don't think there's any one key issue. It's just been overkill. Complete overkill. And there have been some stinkers. Although to be fair one of the worst is Iron Man 2 which appeared way back in 2010. Inconsistency I suppose is the issue, and the quicker they churn this stuff out the more obvious it becomes. Some of the shows have been dire too.

If you don't mind me saying, I think that you're doing something of a disservice to Muppets in Space with the comparison...
