  Trailer of a Film That Will Never Exist: Phony Wars 2023

  Watched 12 Mar 2024

  I'm not giving it any stars. I feel like it's so irrelevant for this film, to me at least.

  This film is oddly tense, and made me feel rather discomforted. The music, mixed with the pictures that are held either too long, or far too short, work to just make me uneasy. These pictures are of new storyboards, books, and old photos relating to his works.

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 19 Mar 2021

  Ok, so this is the new 4k restoration (Although in 1080p) and let me talk about this specific one.

  Previously, I have seen the theatrical and the extended both in dvd, but mainly just the extended in dvd multiple times. Maybe once with some friends I saw the blu ray version which was very, well, green.

  This one no longer has that filter on it thankfully. This one has darker darks and very shiny lighter colours. It looks great and…
