    Breach of contract, or the theater exercising a clause in the contract that allows them to back out of the deal? Tarantino is generally full of crap, so you'll have to excuse me for not taking his word for it. And he's still whining again.
  2. Duke Togo
    Does he ever stop whining? What did he think was going to happen when he put his movie head-to-head with the biggest movie on the planet?

    JJ has already admitted his mistakes with Into Darkness. It's not some sacred cow for him.

    Not spoiling for any sort of fight with you, March. I'm as jaded and scared as the rest of you about this. But I strongly believe that we've all (including these reviewers) been burnt enough by Lucas to have a healthy skepticism about any Star Wars-related film at this point. When there is actual positive press about it, I tend to believe it at this point. I just need it to be good. I don't need it to be world-changing or an all-time classic. I just want it to be good.

    The Voyage Home is obviously the best of the movies. But Khan has enough testosterone and revenge-fueled machismo to make it a thoroughly enjoyable watch.
  6. Duke Togo
    Really, you bring up Into Darkness? For the 50th time, Lindlelof isn't involved in this production. I expect better than that from you, March.
  7. Duke Togo
    I don't get that feeling at all. You've obviously been reading different articles than I have. The skepticism has been real from the film critic community. It almost sounds like you want this to be bad.

    I could use this same description to describe most of Trek before the first reboot movie. What has occurred since that initial reboot is pretty much in line with too much of what came before: sub-par and uninteresting. Trek didn't fail before this because it was too niche; it failed because it was bad. Khan and TNG were a long time ago, and they failed multiple times to produce anything of similar quality.

    By "fans" you mean film reviewers? Because those are the people who are tweeting these things. And I'm not sure how you could think anyone would have blinders on after the prequels and special editions. We're in the jaded era.

    Trek was all but dead before JJ came on board, and the first reboot film reinvigorated the franchise. You'd have to be living in a fantasy world of denial to think otherwise.

    /Film Spoiler-free Early Buzz: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' In a nutshell: this is the film we have been looking for for over 30 years. The Force is very strong with this one.
  12. Duke Togo
    WTF is that? Who does that appeal to? I'm not even a Trek fan, but just no. That is so wrong.

    I enjoyed watching JJ, and Marvel is doing a solid job building its non-Avengers storyline on Netflix. I eagerly await DD season 2, and the addition of the Punisher.

    Good film. Tears were shed.

    Ok, I'm pretty sure that's totally grounds for a forum ban.

    Not exactly sci-fi, but I tried watching American Ultra a few days ago; I turned it off after about a half hour. It's really pretty bad.

    This thread could have ended where it started. Opening with They Live is a total premature mic-drop.

    That Snyder is allowed to direct anything bigger than tv commercials and music videos still baffles me.
  20. Duke Togo
    Who thought this was a good idea?
  21. Duke Togo
    Snyder is the tallest hurdle the movie faces.
  22. Duke Togo
    Because he's horrible.

    “They have no idea what’s going to happen.”

    So, is Superman destroying Gotham in this movie? Because that's what this trailer looks like.

    Sloth love Luthor
