Anyone here into talking about movies?

What Wise did was more of a remastering and refinement of what was already produced . Good Idea .

We see this in music when Albums are remastered but sometimes that is done with poor results .
Marketing at times I am sure , " Newly remastered , buy your new copy ! " All about the ? .

Rushing an artistic endeavor is usually never a good idea .

I saw the Star Trek TV episodes on their first run , even if it was in B&W ? .

I remember the reviews were unkind upon release , but me and the rest of the Trekkies were glad to see something new .

Some of it just little more than adding deleted scenes to the original cut . When we see this sometimes we see why they were cut to begin with .

Yes , sometimes the movie that the writers and director wanted is not really understood by the editor and time constraints may play a part in that , IMO .

You have directors who feel like their work was never truly completed. Studios who want to make more money and realize they can get it by releasing an updated version of an old property they already have because the diehard fans will buy it again. And then, of course, the fans themselves who want to see their favorite films with remastered picture and sound, updated effects, deleted scenes re-added, and so on. So in a way it’s like everybody is getting what they want, but the question remains, does it make the film better? Sometimes it all works out and then of course sometimes not.

I’ve always loved not only watching movies but also learning about what went into making them. Everything from the writing process, filming, editing, special effects, acting, the score, ect. I used to have a podcast where I did movie reviews, but it never really gained any traction. Anyways I would love to talk movies if anyone here is interested.- Josh

There's a movie called "I am the Cheese" but not sure if you'd like it. lol

For a few years, it seems like the movie industry has been tepid. I use to enjoy watching movies in theaters, but nowadays there have not been a lot of movies that I'd want to pay to see. This year, I think I've been to the theater maybe three or fours times.

I saw Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire early this year, and wasn't overly impressed with it. Compared with last year's Godzilla: Minus One, Godzilla x Kong seemed rather cartoonish. And War of the Rohirrim was promising but had some serious problems.

It's been a bit of a rough time for movies, from what I've heard and seen.

Sonic 3 was ok. More of a kid's movie than I expected. They made Shadow a good character. Some of Carrey's humor as Robotnik was a bit much; some of it worked, other jokes just didn't. And it had the "Follow your heart" type of message, which I think is not only cringe but also very questionable. I wanted to like it, but came away thinking it was just so-so.
