Quote from: M.10rda on July 22, 2026, 09:05:53 AMSEVEN FOOTPRINTS TO SATAN (1929):
A late era silent from the director of the very good MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, the quite bad BLIND JUSTICE, and the famously interesting HAXAN. A wealthy four-eyed Poindexter and his hapless galpal get shanghaied to an Old Dark House where weirdo servants inform them they must be the guests of "Mister Satan" (or else) and other guests alternately frolic or scamper about in terror. 7FTS seems at first like a ROCKY HORROR precedent but actually ends up a lot closer in spirit to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.  :buggedout:


I know the title from the pulps. I suppose it is the same story

QuoteA U.K.-based production company and a filmmaker are suing Netflix for $105 million, alleging the streaming company lost a drive containing a copy of an unreleased espionage movie, which they claim undermined its commercial prospects.

The complaint filed on Wednesday in California district court alleges that the film's associate producer, Daniel Haido, hand-delivered an unencrypted master copy of the film to Netflix so the company could screen it as a potential buyer. Haido verbally instructed the employee to delete the files after the screening, according to the suit.

A little over a week after the screening, Netflix emailed the filmmakers to say the drive had been stolen, the plaintiffs allege.

A Netflix spokesperson said the company "disputes any claim that it bears the risk of loss for a film delivered without the proper industry-standard safeguards." Netflix has offered to monitor piracy sites for unauthorized distribution or sale of the movie.

Wild story. Would make for a great movie, starring Nic Cage!

The part about "a lot of people" may or may not be true, but Good For You in any case!  :cheers:

I remember basically liking T3, but (though I remember few specifics) my major recollection of the film is its wacky O.Henry/Rod Serling ending, which I'm pretty sure was retconned immediately in T4/SALVATION. Then again I think every film after T2 got in the habit of ignoring all the previous post-T2 sequels, right?

re-watched that recently. better than I remembered, but it suffers from a severe case of 2003-itis.

to have had any hope of matching or at least comparing with T2 it would've had to come out no later than '95

Terminator 3 (2003) - Like a lot of people in the 90's, I dated a girl who looked like Claire Danes, so this movie was unexpectedly painful for me. The amazing special effects were wasted on my smaller than average TV set, too. Besides of that, it was very enjoyable. I thought the Terminatrix lady was cute, not cute like attractive but cute like when Jerry is mad at Tom and marches over and whacks him with a pool cue or somethings. She was attractive too, though. She was certainly determined, at any rate.

5/5 what do I know about this stuff?
