  1. As far as I am concerned, Darth Maul is dead. You don't survive getting cut in half and falling down a shaft. Bringing him back from the dead was a terrible idea. Makes less sense than Palpatine being resurrected through cloning. Better yet, Maul never existed. All we know of the time before the Empire is what we hear in the OT.
  2. His whole thing is running the same characters out there over and over again. And apparently everyone crosses paths with everyone else, even though the story plays out over an entire galaxy. Same stupid nonsense we got from Lucas (oh look, Chewie and Yoda were friends during the Clone Wars!).
  3. Good start. They got the vibe right. Casting is solid. The only downside is how late it's on.
  4. Did anyone read Kennedy's interview with Deadline? It certainly sounds like she's leaving because Disney was stifling her (and Lucasfilm). There's a lot of great stuff in that interview.
  5. I'm sorry, but that's just not accurate. And Filoni being a student of Lucas is a mark against him, not for him. He has every bad tendency and instinct that Lucas had. And there was so much chatter about Filoni disagreeing with the direction Andor was taking Star Wars that Gilroy had to defend him to stop the gossip.
  6. Before I click on that, is it AI slop?
  7. This movie felt like it was made by people who don't understand why we like Tron.
  8. Interesting. I'm eager to see what a full trailer brings.
  9. The missile spam in AC7 was exhausting. Hoping for less of that in 8.
  10. Spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic, helmed by original game director Casey Hudson. I'd be super jazzed about this game if it wasn't so far away.
  11. Not really. It's not any more different than Slow Horses or Severance are from the rest. Or The White Lotus (which shouldn't be nominated). Hell, The Pitt and The Diplomat are the only two traditional dramas nominated.
  12. They're actively restoring all three. That's not officially announced, but it's happening.
  13. Oh, that I don't know. My guess is they'll do Feb, Mar, Apr for the trilogy, then the Gosling film in May.
  14. These are 100% the original films.
  15. I've been sitting on this news since the early summer. For anyone who might be worried this is going to end up some AIed mess like what James Cameron has done to his films, put those fears to rest. The restoration work being done is simply stunning. It blows all releases--both official and fan preservations--out of the water.
  16. I could not bring myself to watch season 5 and removed the show from my watchlist. I feel liberated. This isn't a comment on the quality on the show. It's just been so long and I was ready to move on.
  17. So, I watched this earlier this evening. I did not care for it at all.
  18. I can't get over how bad the eyes look. It was such a wrong choice.
  19. I'm in a weird place with this movie. It was both good, but also not what I wanted out of a Predator film. There's room for this, though. I was just hoping after Prey we'd get more like that.
  20. There aren't many traditional forums left out there, and too often I find garbage and nonsense from social media and platforms like YouTube and TikTok creeping into them. And gate keeping. Oh man, the gate keeping (I'm looking at you, Blu-ray.com). I find interaction online these days to be pretty rough in most corners of the internet. That said, I wish we had some actual Macross to talk about. Even though I suspect whatever comes next will be crafted for the tastes of an audience that is definitely not me.
  21. I feel like I've been waiting for 15 years for the next Haruhi or Gurren Lagann, and it just hasn't come.
