A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.

Have a great day.

  • The 8 bit guy. I loved his retro computing channel and then one day, he acquired a rare IBM computer and promptly destroyed the power supply by sticking a screwdriver into it (if I remember correctly).

    For some reason, I googled about this and discovered he’s a gun nut. They’re videos of him going grocery shopping with his rifle on his back which apparently he does this knowing it will annoy people.

    Unsubscribed from the channel and never looked back.










  • I remember the first DVDs extras where items such as “interactive menu” which always bugged me because surely a non interactive menu is just a picture of some buttons?

    Anyway, the extras got better and better over the years and the quality on some titles has been astounding.

    The Frighteners has a 4½ hour “making of” for example. The Alien Quadrilogy and Blade Runner are two more examples of amazing DVD extras as well.

    Sadly, it seems to be just the boutique labels putting in the work these days. It’s frustrating when studio releases list several intriguing sounding extras and then it turns out they only last five minutes each.
