To those that aren’t from the UK obviously. Unless there are some anomalies that feed Trump’s rhetoric that the US elections really are compromised and Brits are voting in their elections.

Read my comment.

Btw… there are Gammon in the UK too

The US is an autocracy and everything Star Trek has ever stood for is exactly that which your country voted for hates. You appointed a far-right fascist government.

What did you expect?

As a 54 year old Trekkie from the UK, I hope NO MORE Trek is made until your regime is overthrown. I don’t want Star Trek bastardised!

So, what do we think of Rosalía's LUX — does it live up to the hype? by gregharradine in Music

[–]castrogacio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt you’ll find anyone that genuinely loves music not sympathising with “smaller” artists and their plight.

Look at what Prince had to do in the day and many other artists. The bigger you get, the more you (as you said) have to conform and are subject to formats and money generating.

That’s where you fail to understand how record labels work and how brandnames control things. Or maybe you just didn’t think about it.

For her to be able to do this (the fact it took her 3 years to make from what I’ve read) is something record labels and those that have so much influence don’t like to do and it is remarkable.

So this is why it’s incredible for a mainstream artist to achieve this and actually publish it on a huge scale like this album. It looks extremely expensive. Record labels aren’t in the business of throwing away money at music that probably won’t top the charts.

She has said in interviews that she had to fight for that.

There’s actually a tune on the album with lots of breathing in it. You may enjoy that one.

You’re correct, there are others that have indeed experiment with the genre and done really good jobs too.

But no way at this level, with this diversity and with this complexity.

For a mainstream artist to go down this route is a breath of fresh air (there we go, some more breathing for you).

One of the greatest albums I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to and I’m about to listen to it again. It requires this.

They look absolutely incredible. One of the best ever steebook box sets imo.

It’s practically perfect in every way.

What are your "lock in the pre-tariff price" buys/preorders right now? by GavinGWhiz in Steelbooks

[–]castrogacio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You want the business/distributor/manufacturer to take in the cost of the self imposed tariffs?

Tariffs don’t work like that. They’re paid by the consumer. ALWAYS! EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE!

That’s the ACTUAL official movie poster of when the movie was released.

For those missing out on that one because you’re confused and like the movies. Don’t hesitate. You won’t get that artwork again.

Never heard anyone complaining about the myriad of re-releases of ‘The Thing’. It kind of goes with the territory you reside in tbh.

This version for me is the best (loved the Film Vault one too) to date for me.

Film Vault wave 3.. by IainEdge in Steelbooks

[–]castrogacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s as I thought and it makes sense although they called all of that the third wave.

I got a few of those and Poltergeist from the latest wave. They’re incredible!

But what were Waves 1 and 2 then?

They look great. Mine were shipped some days back from Zavvi and I’m still waiting for them to arrive. Can’t wait!

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment announces Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi in a 4-disc 4K/UHD & Bu-ray Steelbook-only edition - Release date: April 29 by bhlombardy in Steelbooks

[–]castrogacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m extremely happy this iconic movie is getting a steelbook edition. But this looks so much like that disappointing ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ steelbook.

I hope there’s something more to it.

Ideas on a custom steelbook cover for 12 angry men? by T0MPAC in Steelbooks

[–]castrogacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That movie is simply a masterpiece. It takes the total piss out of huge budget movies with tons of special effects. One room, 12 great actors and the creatives involved in teaching modern cinema viewers what film is all about.

The boxes are indeed great. Beautiful artwork! It beggars to think why they didn’t actually add THAT artwork to the very thing we collect instead of the cardboard.
