THE ODYSSEY poster…

This is one of the many posters of THE ODYSSEY (2026). I’ve already stated that I have little interest in seeing it but this poster really makes me wonder what they’re selling. It’s obvious Oscar© bait, in regards to the casting, but this poster makes it look like a Marvel release. People will like it because people are starving to watch anything at the movies but in hindsight, they’ll regret liking it. It’s always the same thing these days.

It reminds me of the elaborate poster campaign for IMMORTAL (2011), which was the complete opposite of what people saw in the final film.

How did PEPLUM movies got away with these scenes…

With PEPLUM movies, HD is revealing things that were not clearly visible in low resolution copies. Take this odd scene in VULCAN – SON OF JUPITER (1962), Bella Cortez, as Aetna, is unaware of the man and his fingers down there. In the old prints, it was hard to see what he was doing (top image) but now with a clearer HD print (bottom image), we see what’s going on.

Again, how did PEPLUM movies got away with these scenes?

CLASH OF STEEL (1962) now on Blu-ray…

There are very few Blu-ray releases these days which explains the lack of articles. Fortunately, a new box set is now available in Germany

CLASH OF STEEL and its sequel, THE GALLANT MUSKETEER (1964), are now available on Blu-ray in Germany. I’m definitely going to get this one. CLASH OF STELL is the US title of THE KNIGHT OF PARDAILLAN.

The first title has a great cast that includes Gerard Barray, Gianna Maria Canale, and Kirk Morris. See photos below.
