Check out Bull and Kill List, both with Neil Maskell (he was the brother). He is chilling in these two and both should be preferrable to those who favor this type of film.
As for costumes and masks, one other interesting thing is when contrasting uniforms and masks in comics to those in live action, I think the more vibrant colors don't translate well to on-screen. It seems to me that the costumes with more subdued colors or with a matte finish seem to film better. However, this could be just a personal preference.
One last one, I wonder if those behind this movie also used it to excite long-time X-Men comic fans by having Jackman in one of the earliest Wolverine uniforms - sort of like in a way to keep older fans to keep following what they enjoyed about the comic.
One of Tom Selleck's earliest roles was in a prison-exploitation movie like this called Terminal Island and it had quite an opening song as well called It's Too Damn Bad, sung by Jeff Thomas. It is sort of in the style of CW McCall's Convoy song from the 70s.

I have never seen any of the Blade movies and was wondering if Snipes talks like that in all of them or if his overbite and speech were due to a variant or meant to be a parody of some sort?
Ah, and then replies like this appear and prove my point......
I did not suggest that, nor would it be a viable demand. My bewilderment comes from, if one makes the effort, there are outstanding shows and movies out there to be found and many, many of them, but the trend here tends to be blasting out what people don't like instead of things that they do like. THAT is what I would love to see more of.
Rarely do I comment on the "Trending" posts because the other day the majority of the "Trending" posts entailed politics. What I do use the "Trending" posts for is when a poster posts about an under the radar movie or program that I have never heard of before. But those instances seem to be less and less due to divisive posts taking over the "Trending."
Ah, this was a good one.....though, I did that as a carry over from the subject line to the main post. Sadly, yes, it was done to get people to continue reading.
My intent was not to start some sort of flame war or the like, but instead to point out if one really examines this era of availability of programs and movies, viewers really are in an unprecedented golden era of accessiblilty to so much entertainment and content, with even much of it free, but somehow, this is so easily overlooked in my opinion.
This is especially evident for those of us that grew up in an era where access to these items did not exist. In my growing up, if you missed a program or movie, it was wait a year before a re-run, if at all. Especially, if in a region where cable was not available or a region with limited television channels.
And then came streaming all these years later and WOW. Programs and films are now accessible from every place in the world and often times, very good stuff is easily found in searches and this doesn't even touch the subject of pirated programs on the Internet if one so chooses to seek them out.
Then, if you view threads here, it is almost the negative posts seem to outnumber those where people discuss more positive things (really, just glance at the post headlines under a topic - it is there).
As for those that claim most of what is out there is garbage or crap, yes, there is a ton of it, but if one looks around there is so much more good content to be found and especially if one can deal with subtitles. This includes not only new shows, but streaming allows for the discovery of classics of both TV and film. And frankly, even if all shows streaming or available were only good shows, no person could sit through all the good stuff in a lifetime. There are just too many out there.
I guess perspectives matter quite a bit, especially when one has the contrast of broadcast television mainly consisting of the big three networks and PBS and when TV wasn't 24/7 and of today where viewing opportunities are endless.
Just watched it and tho it starts out a bit slow it comes on strong. A very good adaptation and a good lead.
That is for sure - his portrayal evolution has been remarkable. From charismatic to absolute chilling.
I think you are mixing the two up. The man with the scent is the cop and the person that gave her the lapel pin. He also made it clear how he felt about her. The other wimpy man is her brother.
Oops, my bad....I fixed it. Thanks.
When watching that scene, I turned to my girls and said watching Tina go through this is taking too long and is too painful to watch and then her scene with Jon Bernthal made all that misery payoff so powerful in their interaction. Just a wonderful scene.
These replies have been so interesting and it has been interesting to see all the different generations naming a movie represented here as well (it can make one feel old, too).
My thoughts are that the first episode was an artistic-like metaphor to express the evolution from a fast food dive to that of the development of a high class restaurant.
Also, it seems this entire season is like the development and metamorphosis of a butterfly from larva to full glory.
What confuses me is don't filmmakers recognize a bad accent when they hear it and how that impacts a film to some viewers?
I almost turned it off due to Bloom's accent but stuck with it. It's not too bad of a movie for a slow night.
Thank you.
What reason did the book give for Toranaga wanting to keep Blackthorne in Japan? Was it because of Black thrones skills and abilities?
Well, I'll avoid those, but your post describes the type of viewing attention I wish I could develop. Your comments made me appreciate this film even more.
Outstanding! And your subject line is damned perfect to succinctly describe what this movie is about with no spoiling in just those five words.
I think I need to go back and watch it again. I completely overlooked the very last part of your final sentence - finding something that maintains us within the dead.
I am definitely reading more of your posts.
