The only true horror that I experienced on Friday the 13th was realising that Jason Bourne is the actual worst film of the Bourne franchise.

Anatomy of a Fall and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are worth watching for those wondering.

A rather 50/50 week where every actor imaginable went to war, Tony Scott unsuccessfully remade a 70s classic, the more rightfully forgotten Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman 2001 film ended January on a low note, and America being changed by Chance.

For those who are completely uninterested in my film goings (along with the ones who are), here's my ranking of all 11 Pink Panther films:

The Pink Panther Ranks Again (The Pink Panther Franchise Ranking)
A largely bad franchise, with only a third of the films being of actual fine quality.

I've been busy getting to grips with the necessary skills required for book layout recently, so I've had no time for iPad scribbling until tonight. Managed to get a bit more done on my Signalman piece - at this rate it'll be finished by next bloody Christmas.

After a rewatch, I can still safely say that I really like Eyes Wide Shut, and it's fascinatingly erotic ways.

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day

"I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off.

There's silence for a second.

"Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."
Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.
Sigourney Weaver Says She Wishes DreamWorks Released A Director’s Cut Of ‘Galaxy Quest,’ Reminisces On Sequel That Never Came To Pass
Sigourney Weaver reflected on cult classic Galaxy Quest and how she wishes the sci-fi satire had released an R-rated director's cut.
