    Am I the only one hoping for a standard edition that I can shelve alongside my other discs?

    It was good, but there was a lot of CG. Not enhancing shots or the natural landscape, but replacing them altogether. It's NOT Fury Road. This is a different movie. Major spoiler:

    Just got to the theater for the 6:30 showing. Reviews have been pretty good, but I'm a bit worried about the amount of CG seen in the trailers.
  5. Duke Togo
    Watching the new trailer I am left wondering if this is moving faster than I thought it was.

    This was a fun movie, I had a good time watching it. Not sure I agree with the decision to make Kong the main protagonist of these movies, but that's whatever. But hey,

    The show ended where the book did. The story was finished.
  8. Duke Togo
    No. Just no. There is no sequel book. They'd be making it up on their own, and that's a whole different kettle of fish from adaptation. Just ask Benioff and Weiss. The show runners talked about wanting to adapt another really good Clavell novel, Tai Pan. I was excited by the prospect of that. I am not excited about this news.

    I won't bother to go any further with the series, then.

    I watched the first episode of Tales of the Empire and am not sure I'll watch anymore. I have no idea who this character is, the story was pretty thin, and I'm just not interested in what happens next.
  11. Duke Togo
    I have to agree. I'd actually prefer that they went back to the Old Republic era. I'll watch this show, but I had greater interest after seeing the first trailer than I did after this new one. My expectations just got lowered.

    Just checked the DVDs and this issue doesn't exist there. Also, I've noticed subtitle timing issues on the Crunchyroll stream as well. Their presentation is pretty shoddy.
  14. Duke Togo
    I need to check my DVDs, but I definitely think there's something wrong with the video in the Crunchyroll stream. There's a regular video glitch at the bottom of the frame that I noticed in the first episode last week that is still occurring. I don't recall it being an issue with the DVDs.
  15. Duke Togo
    It definitely moves the needle on my opinion of it.
  16. Duke Togo
    Watched the first episode and I'm pretty sure this is from the same transfer we've had for years. It's rough.
  17. Duke Togo
    I wonder what the quality is like? I still have the old DVD set. I'll have to check this out.
  18. Duke Togo
    To the best of my recollection, Clavell doesn't depict warfare in any of his novels. That's simply not what they're about.

    As someone who has read the book twice and has seen the original miniseries probably 10 times over the past 30 years, I'm glad it ended the way it did. They did a really excellent job with the new miniseries, with my only quibble being that Blackthorne doesn't come across as inquisitive (or perhaps intelligent) as the character should be. But, maybe I'm wrong on this and I just need to do a rewatch.

    This show is a home run. Critically acclaimed and popular with viewers. It was a hit with me and some of my friends who have never played the games. Male and female. I look forward to season 2.
  21. Duke Togo
    Partially, yeah
  22. Duke Togo
    That's been in preview for two months, I think. Not sure if it was available to everyone with a sub, or just some of us. edit: read the article, was in beta for four months.
  23. Duke Togo
    I'm debating going to see this, or waiting for it to hit streaming. I'll watch it at some point, just a question of where.
  24. Duke Togo
    No thank you.

    It was only divisive because it was released unfinished and buggy with a lot of content cut. Obsidian was forced to rush it out the door by LucasArts and Microsoft. Thankfully, the cut content remained on the disc, and years later a fan project was able to fix many of the bugs and restore much of what was incomplete. The story itself is well-loved by the fans.
