    Finally finished watching Andor it is holds up well. The only problem I really had with it is that everyone and their uncle knew that Yavin was the location of the rebel base, for the Empire not to have found out is beyond belief. Things others have brought up too (like the woeful security at the Senate) were more momentary so easier to ignore. It is Hollywood though so not a deal breaker on an otherwise well written show, nuanced characters being very hard to come by in Star Wars.

    The warning is a little late. AMC theaters where I am had ads and trailers lasting that long before Covid. (not every film, but a few certainly did)

    This might be closer to the original book but the trailer really doesn't catch my interest. And there is NO beating the combo of Arnold and Richard Dawson. And the lady saying Arnold was "one mean mother..."

    I think you nailed it there. The modern look just doesn't work with this particular story.

    I'm thinking more of the content - it was the quintessential late seventies / early eighties apocalypse universe with martial arts thrown in. I can't see them getting the vibe correct any longer.

    The original was so firmly linked to the time it was made, hard to see a remake doing well. I hope I am wrong though.

    I would have been excited for this if not for that dreadful History of the World show. If it gets good reviews I may see it at the theater but will probably be waiting for netflix, amazon, etc...

    I have a feeling it is going to transition to a new series following Kirk and the Enterprise. Or perhaps going to movies.

    Heck, it is far above Return of the Jedi, which is where the Rot really started. Personally I have a hard time choosing between it or the original Star Wars as the number 2 film in the entire franchise. Star Wars has the benefit of being a phenomenon that really sucked me in to science fiction (*) but really doesn't hold up as an incredible movie. * I remember seeing an ad for SW around Christmas and thinking it was just another silly science fiction movie - after the following summer I never had that pre-conceived notion about scifi again, though there were PLENTY of garbage scifi movies post SW of course.

    All I can think of with that quote about ever expanding Death Stars is "Gurren Lagann", without the charm of course. It does give DisneyLucasFilmInc a direction statement, perhaps I can sue for a finders fee in a few decades (well, my offspring can).

    That has got to be the most memorable season ending yet. Looking forward to next season, wherever it may end up.

    You should worry more about some corporation doing so. A government will just come in and hook it up to weaponry after the fact.
  13. Dynaman
    An AI controlled drone going "nuts" and needing to be shot down? IF someone is silly enough to hook up an autonomous drone with weaponry without an off switch then we could possibly have that today. An actual AI, nowhere near it.

    I just got back from the latest Mission Impossible movie. Decent film, anyone that likes the series will enjoy this one. The price for tickets though, $25 a ticket for a matinee. OW! That is up about $10 from the last time I went to a movie at a theater (granted, five years ago but still)

    I don't think I can handle any more stupid people doing stupid things. The plots for these movies take it to way tooooo much excess.
