Yup, we can dream bigger and give bigger dreams :)
A silver lining in the tech progress is this : I remember watching movies from the 60s or the 70s, in the 90s, and feeling "damn, that looks old". I could only care about movies made after 1984, or something (and, men, did amblin and the "produced by Steven Spielberg-verse" give us good things to watch.)
I suspect that, now that movies are kinda "converging" in terms of visual, it will be easier to share the movies of our childhoods with the next generation.
Besides, they don't care that much about looks : I litteraly witnessed 10 year old kids getting hooked on my 1991 game boy !!!!
I’ve watched “In The Mouth of Madness” so many times. It is in my top 3 most re-watched horror movies list. Perfect Lovecraftian horror, and Sam Neill was perfect in it.
I watched Possession (1981) a few weeks back. One of the weirdest films I’ve ever seen. His acting was so different from his later stuff.
One of my favorite actors of all time. If you haven’t seen it, watch The Dish.
also the Event Horizon, his change of character is something you don't forget..
Not my favourite movie though. The horror in space trope is a very tired one.
Alongside the poorly lit spaceship. Spaceships are workplaces and workplaces should provide adequate illumination so you can see what you are doing.
But I LOVE what he did for the New Zealand flag.
Even Horizon is a Warhammer 40k film that has nothing to do with Warhammer 40k.
It’s a wonderful little movie. Absolutely adorable.
So sad. Jurassic Park had a tremendous impact on me as a dino obsessed teenager ( was 13 when it came out). RIP.
It’s a unix system, I know this!
The file navigator she used was running on a silicon graphics machine, called fsn

I'm getting old, all my childhood heroes die.
Here's to "trying to be someone's childhood heroes"
Without dancing on TikTok or pulling stupid faces for YouTube thumbnails

Hunt for the Wilder People was fun, as was Reilly, Ace of Spies.

Do you read Sutter Cane?
He had a lovely gentle demeanor about him. He was good recently in the Untamed series.
Today New Zealand has lost a national treasure.
Haere atu rā ki te okiokinga.
And Northern Ireland.
RIP. Where he's going, he won't need eyes. Wait, perhaps that was an inappropriate quote to use.
Give me a ping Vasily. One ping only please.
Sad.
A minute of silence for him. No echoes.
