I didn't really like the artwork too much but in hand and full gloss it looks great, wasn't expecting a bonus disc so that was a nice surprise. there are some odd printed numbers on the bottom of the steelbook edge, don't know why they did that but I really like this release.. looking forward to watching it again in 3D
Lol.. I can't believe you just said that
I must say I keep looking at both this and star trek(not ready to put them on the shelf yet lol), it's great when you get the steel through the post and it turns out to be worth every penny. they really did a great job on this, it's a beauty.. makes me feel like I have to hunt down the original steels with similar artwork if they are as good.. I do really like the original uk releases though. this film wasn't the best in the world but my friends said that they loved the movie where I was 50/50 on it and as much as I love melissa Mccarthy I find her films to be 50/50 on the laugh meter but still enjoyable and I think I'm gonna like this one more on my second viewing.. I think my expectations are occasionally too high.. and I didn't like the cameos in this film but knowing that this time going in I'm positive I'll enjoy it more
I think its always really hard to get a remake or reboot to go over well so they definitely had that go against them before they even started and I felt the cameos were a wasted opportunity to do something..but until I watch this again I don't really know what I think more than my thoughts after seeing it at the cinema which was "it was an ok film" so without those first expectations of 'are they going to ruin this movie' or 'is this gonna be awesome' I think I'll enjoy it a lot more second time around.
I forgot she was in St. Vincent. I really enjoyed her sit com 'Mike and molly' but they cancelled it when she lost weight, they said she didn't fit the character anymore.. so stupid
I've not watched hangover 3 since it came out and I don't remember her being in it so I'll check that out again for what i remember of it, she was very good in vincent
) if on my second viewing I feel differently I'll apologise to my friend 
It is crazy to cancel a show that was doing ok and in its 6th season just cos the main character lost some weight.. the show was about a couple who met at a weight loss group and yes their weight was a factor in the storyline but by the 6th season it wasn't really a part of the hook of the story anymore and no one would of cared the character lost weight. I haven't seen that film but you're right it is April from eastbound and down
My favourite reboot has to be star trek, I think they did a perfect job with cast, characters and story.. I've watched them many times.
I felt the exact same about the cameos with this film..the friend I saw this film with was so excited when we left the cinema, saying how much he loved it and seeing the originals in it too and I told him that I thought it was a total wasted opportunity and if that was the best they could do then I would have preferred they not be in it at all.. I can't remember exactly what I said but I pretty much picked their cameos a part (I don't remember the film well enough now, but I felt bad cos my friend agreed with what I said and I think I killed his excitement for the film a bit
I did what you said, I opened the steel, and looked at the continuous artwork and it does look great.. could definitely be a contender for steelbook of the year.
I'm really glad I got this, I'd cancelled my riginal order cos I felt £23.99 was too much for a film I was only 50/50 on but when it came back in stock (a while ago) and the code worked I ordered and am very happy I did. just watching the original ghostbusters now.. then the second and then I'll get to this
she plays melissa sister in Mike and molly and I find her pretty funny in that, she's always on something and not quite aware of her surroundings, up in the clouds somewhere. gonna miss the show now it's been cancelled.
"Slightly ironic that she lost some weight and the show got cancelled. Kinda defeats the object of what the characters were trying to achieve."
That really made me laugh
So true, and they definitely could have written it into the script plus in real life after the weight loss she gained a bit back so it's definitely could've been written in.
I've not seen the film where she plays April, I'll have to check it out
I've liked all the star treks cos I find it quite rare that I really like an entire cast of characters and especially from a show I grew up watching where a reboot may not work for me.. I think I enjoyed the first 2 more than beyond but really love them all and it was really sad what happened to Antony Yelchin and of course Leonard Nimoy dying, so watching the third film had a sad undertone for me which might have changed the way I watched it if you know what I mean.
I didn't think much of the dark knight rises when I rented it but I still bought the steelbook as I had the first 2, but I've never watched it since renting it.. I wonder if it will be better 2nd time around.. or worse??
There have definitely been some great steels that have come out of Asia this year but as a no thrills steelbook on its own I think this one could be nominated in the best bare bones steelbook category .. I've still not voted yet so I'll have to look at what bare bones steelbook's I've bought this year to compare.. but whether or not it's in the running I really am happy with it.. had a good day with steelbook's today... then I looked in the Jason bourne uk steel thread and thought, you can't win 'em all
)
Thats a nice way of looking at it, I'll try and look at it that way when I watch it again, I may have if I didn't find out he'd died when the film started in the cinema, my friend poked me and said "it's such a shame the guy in this died" and I assumed he was talking about leonard but he said 'no the young guy but I don't know his name" then he pointed him out the first moment he was on screen so I think that's why I watched it with more sadness, if I'd know a while before it may have been different. I watch green room a couple of months ago, I didn't even recognise him straight off, it is good movie..also watched terminator salvation again the other day and totally forgot he played kyle, he was a good actor.It's a tv show (comedy) where she plays April- Eastbound and down
Ha, sounds like a good character. I love her voice (among other things
The cast does work really well in treks, yes very sad. I felt like that watching beyond but I think it worked the opposite way for me and found it nice to see him with them all in one of his last films. Also watched green room recentley and had the same feelings where it's one of his last films. He was always quite lovable. I liked him in fright night too.
Well after I see dark knight rises at the cinema and originally liking it I ordered the bat cowl Edtion. So I got that and then moved back home, then had a lesson in how bad it is and why lol so I went off it but I also still bought the steel to complete the Nolan trilogy on steel. There's still 2 or 3 scenes I find amazing but as a whole it was ruined by many things, mainly script.
Also not voted, I'm waiting for any that might come from uk or Asia toward the end of the year before I make my mind up. Think we have until mid Jan to put our nominations in.
Of the top of my head my fav barebones this year are this, mondo avengers, Star Trek beyond zoom lenti (if that still counts as barebones!?), hateful eight Hmv, Deadpool. Hunger games collection with lenti, it follows US version and batman the killing joke.
What I can think of now anyway
Defo a good day, hahaha I had to check out Bourne. It's awful lol
