Cancerblack: that is the way to go I fear for those of us who actually want to own a movie we pay for and can watch when we want to and save it for the future, especielly as they dont offer us who want to pay for a physical movie any option.
But that concerns me: if disney decide this will be only on streaming on hulu: I wont be able to see the new series or the new alien movie, thanks disney....
Sort of akin to Star Wars and Disney+ and that's something to get excited over. However, as was also mentioned, I will be absolutely gutted if we don't get physical releases of the outings.
Spoiler
I like hot cakes

You haven't read proper modern fantasy then
Why not ? I like me some hot takes
Are you sure you want to hear me deadpanning longwinded and intentionally provocative hot takes?
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way!
It hasn't been formally announced yet, to the best of my knowledge, but there is a pre-order link up and live for a region B release of the first season of Raised By Wolves:
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Raised-by-Wolves-The-Complete-First-Season-Blu-ray/311605/
No news of a region A release, alas, so I'm hoping the disc itself is region free when it releases.
Perhaps not medieval fantasy, but the genre's much larger than just J.R.R Tolkien's Legendarium, although I can hardly fathom someone not enjoying Lord of the Rings (the films) to me, it is everything that medium has to offer as an artform at it's peak.
I did watch the majority of the first seasons of Terror and RbWs, and did really enjoy them. Other factors just made me unable to finish them, but I did want to. Just wish RbWs was easier to get hold of in the UK. I checked for a home release recently but no dice.
This was actually the point I realized I wasn't into fantasy as a genre too.
I always mark them as having language in them anyway.
I had been considering the same. It's just I know that name has survived multiple drafts - but that's not to say it can't still change, especially with the delay in the filming. There's a few names in this that haven't been revealed as yet that I don't actually like and hope change, but we'll see.
Which you actually wont need to wait much longer to see. New article incoming.
Do you remember the name of the show?
Blue, why don't you just start your own podcast series ? Bring CB as co-host, should be fun
The YouTube Corporal Hicks' potty mouth filter algorithm strikes again!
Indeed. The actual character name is Herman Toothrot.
And we'll probably find ourselves waiting for the aliens in same way Caprica kept us waiting for the Cylons.
'Legion' is on my list, specifically for this reason (but I've got so much other stuff on Disney to stream through, first...).
Think RBW is only available on Sky Atlantic and HBO. The UK won't be getting HBO for several years (due to licencing rights) and I don't have Sky.
Also, RidgeTop, you bastard talking about going to see The Batman !
And he does not like J.R.R Tolkien either? ... Jesus Christ
I largely agree, and don't think a writer should be stricken by it. I think I more just was going on a overly long rant about the difference in perceptions of artists as "fans" of franchises.
But sometimes you get someone on the other end of the spectrum of avoiding "fan fap" like a Ridley Scott; who doesn't even take into account the lore from his own movies. And I love Prometheus lol
Same thing for the Ready Player One audition I did. So I assume and hope that the hermit's name isn't really "Hermit" lol
Also, when Noah Hawkey talks about being a huge fan of Alien, (even Alvarez to an extent but I hope I'm wrong) it reminds me of someone like JJ Abrams saying he's a big Star Wars fan. (And I'm one for the people who liked TFA.) To people like us who are hardcore fans we like to think that means he's someone who follows the non-movie lore, reads some comics, hopefully looking at the RPG book. But sadly it seems like most of the filmmakers who end up on these projects are only big fans in the most basic sense. Which doesn't mean they can't make a great movie, but it is frustrating that they never seem to have reverence for other material.
I've been binging old podcast episodes and just relistened to the one with the writer of a Predators, and his reaction to being asked if he had been inspired to make "super predators", sorry Hicks, in any way by the Bad Blood comics made it clear that his fandom was fairly surface. Not saying it makes him any less of a fan, just not as hardcore as what many of us consider to be a big fan.
I hope that eventually, we could see a film in either franchise, or AVP, by someone who has a love not just for the films, but the expanded universe. It would be great to see some deep-cut lore show up someday!
The things Corporal says sometimes - horrible, just horrible. Could never believe such words would come out of somebody's mouth
"On the one hand you have humanity overcoming nature even more with transhuman enchancements and other technologies controlled by powerful corporations, on the other you have the aliens there to remind them they are just prey. The Alien franchise for me has been about the people sandwiched between the two"
Seems like this episode will be downloading for an hour. I guess, I should thankful I still have the Internet at all
