Thanks. British Sky Cinema (28.2°E) has it in 7 hours, there should be a similar info.
If my recording works, I'll add the UK version later in the day.
Here it is: https://ibb.co/QcJyf7t
On Sky, they show an info table about the odd aspect ratio just before Justice League.
Its next run starts in 75 minutes on Sky Premiere (19.2°E), I'll try to grab a screenshot.
"Night on Earth" gets a similar treatment because it's only broadcast in original language and never dubbed (at the director's request).
Don't worry, I'm talking about mine. Resident Evil (2002) was the first in the series and still had some minimal appeal, but I wouldn't call any movie by Paul W. S. Anderson "good".
I haven't yet seen "No Blade Of Grass (1970)", but I'll put it on my watchlist.
1. Quarantine (2008)
2. No Blade Of Grass (1970)
3. Resident Evil (2002) - Tyrant-Virus.
being any good wasn't a condition ...
Zachi Noy would be my first thought when it comes to Israeli TV/movie exports.
His movies weren't exactly the best example for quality...
There was a 2011 BD release.

PGS Subs German
a) manual download:
you dl the srt file (better take a couple of versions) from opensubtitles using a browser.
I. playback in VLC:
place the file in the same folder as the movie file and enable the subtitle in context menu.
-or-
II. playback in kodi:
place the file in the same folder and rename it to "moviename.en.srt" (assumung moviename.mkv, moviename.mp4, ... as the movie file's name)
-or-
III. playback almost everywhere:
drag and drop the movie container and the srt file into "MKVtoolnix GUI", a simple muxing tool (no transcoding, no quality loss) and press "convert" to merge it with the original movie file. the result plays practically everywhere, where the original file was playable.
b) automatic downloads of subtitles:
install kodi and open the movie (it does not matter if it's added to your library, opening the file in its directory is enough). then pause and open the subtitles menu. if it's for the first time, the list of subtitles plugins will be empty but they can be installed from within this menu.
the automatic downloader will name the file exactly like a#II.
The opensubtitles plugin is more or less the only one to require a (free) login/api key, others work without registrations. But for English language subtitles, opensubtitles is the place to go first.
general hints:
BD and DVD versions often have a slightly different runtime / speed. when watching a DVD rip, better try to download an older subtitle, for BD better stick to newer contribs (or with 720p/1080/2160p in the name).
not really - https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitles/7946045/brotherhood-of-the-wolf-en
if you download an SRT file and place it in the same folder, vlc will pick it up. or add it to the mux using mkvtoolnix.
players like kodi feature automatic subs downloads from opensubtitles.
I'd think so.
Consequentially, would Scary Movie count twice?
Top Secret! (1984)
Spaceballs (1987)
Cabin in the Woods (2011)
Maybe not using Sitcoms, but action series.
Let them be the A-Team, Avengers (Wanda Peel, Vision Steed), I want to see Vision arguing with a Knight 2000
Highlander II is horrible - less so in the "Renegade Edition" but it stays a polished turd.
Keep the first one in good memory, avoid all sequels.
They ruined Dukat's arc in the end, he deserved better than just going crazy.
I liked Garak, he has his bad-ass moments too. His backstory is intentionally kept mysterious, rendering him kinda stale in comparison to fleshed-out Dukat.
In theater, loved it. 8/10
I own it on DVD and wouldn't claim to fully understand this movie, but most reviews I've found were missing something about it. Please excuse the spoiler tags for such an old movie, it still might be fun for first-time viewers to figure out its self-references.
It's basically about the pursuit of happiness from two perspectives. One of them is by a suicidal black poodle, supposed to oppose creation. <spoiler>Instead, he falls in love with its beauty, Maria Callas and Cora.</spoiler>
Or it's a Maria Callas biography, mixed with Christian existentialism and the crisis of a sexually frustrated middle-aged woman.
In a third plot line, <spoiler>hidden in plain sight (and outlined by Stanislas himself), a new incarnation forms during the movie. A chain of events, already set in motion by the white poodle before he was stuck in the freezer (trapped at the skydiving non-incident), renders his last plan useless by granting him his wish.
Could have been much easier for him, however, it's in his nature. He is the scorpion in his fairy tale, he has to sting.
Grim ending? No, black poodle always lags a step behind and still is subject to mercy.</spoiler>
You'll get to learn a lot about Maria Callas.
Sorry, I mean THE Callas.
The pacing is horrible and it manages to be boring at times, while still being crammed with unexplored details. At some points, it misses general direction and leaves the viewer alone with a handful of clues. Some parts purely exist as a celebration of Dadaism.
Critics didn't know where to put this movie, neither do I. Everything "poodle" about it is pretty charming. God and the devil, fighting it out in the fields of chaos theory because mass destruction has become a human domain is a funny premise. Taking Maria Callas into the mix is the kind of bold decisions I like in movies. Til Schweiger's acting is as stoic as the role needs him to be, but there's not much tension between him and Cora.
to put it like Zathras:
Ahhh?
Ahhh!
Not the One. You're not the One. Won't talk, can't talk. Not the One.

Such an on-screen chemistry with the penguin, he could have been a decent Bruce Wayne.
It's limited to film, otherwise I'd have added Gul Dukat.
Anton Gorodetsky is an interesting character in the books (particularly useless, never becomes a hero, yet he's driving the plot), but the movies were too disappointing.
