That worked incredibly well.

It looks closer to the classic hand drawn style.  Anyone know what method was used to animate it?

If not after Discovery then surely after Section 31.  That was absolute trash.  I can't comment on anything besides SNW after that since I had no interest in anything else.

Year One hopefully gets made.  Captain whats his name from Picard would be a good one to make a series on (if they kept him snarky).  I don't remember if he died but retcon it if he did.  SFA was a bad idea they just HAD to do (for some idiot reason)

The problem with AI guessing is that it ends up a lot like third party cheapo animation houses.  They guess one way one frame and another way the next frame...

Better than a comic book.  I would still only really be happy with a live action one.

Nothing against comic books but I'm tired of all the clickbait out there saying X! is getting sequel!  When it is really saying a limited edition comic book is coming.

At least auto-translation is getting much better (though I assume it is translating the Japanese text rather than the audio).  The amount of times it translates into complete gibberish is way down from a few years ago.

Should be good, but another Targaryen-focused story?

The First Men and their conflicts with the Children of the Forest on their arrival to Westeros seems like it would lend itself to a more fantasy-like world to explore....not that Dragons aren't fantastical enough, but it sort of has been played out....meh, I still will go see it I suppose....

Movie budget Dragons.  I think that was the entire pitch meeting.

Evangelion, though never really bad, hit mediocre rehash some time ago.  This new project better not be another retelling of the story and either way it has to get excellent reviews and have an actual real ending before I will give it a watch.

Yeah, kinda feels like the writers were like, "what's the coolest stuff in action movies ever?!!!" And then, with their low budget and mediocre skills, they made this. 😄  I have zero recollection of this film having ever been advertised, nor do I recall ever coming across it at old VHS rentals back in the day. Pretty obscure I'm guessing.

The thing is, even though it is obviously  bad (very bad) it does not look quite cheap enough to have been a direct to DVD (er, videotape) release.  Who am I kidding, Killer Klowns didn't look quite that cheap in adverts and it was direct to video.

I never had the honor of seeing this one in a theater:

Wish I did.

I never heard of that before.  and I think you just gave away the 3rd MST3K revival movie...

Definitely cool, but bipedal=easy target. That’s why tanks kinda got lower to the ground in a lot of designs. I do love a good sci fi concept though and can’t deny that

And hard to put armor on.  Tanks generally only have strong armor in the front now (part of the reason it is kept low profile).  Armoring a humanoid that way would still take up a lot of the surface area and on parts that need to be flexible.

Very well done advertisement for it.  Too bad the movie itself is just not any good.  The Doctor(s) were excellent.

Not so long ago it was graphics cards and data mining.  Things will get back on track with memory in a year or two.  Till then it is a terrible time to need to buy it.

We're losing so many of our 70s and 80s film icons. They're only mortals like the rest of us but given the breadth and profundity of their impact on culture, it always seems harder to see these folks pass on. Godspeed, Mr. Duvall, and thanks for all the memorable performances.

Sadly that is a sign of our own age and coming date with eternal slumber.  My mother's generation it was Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable and James Cagney.  For the generation after us these actors are our equivalent of Leigh, Gable, and Cagney.

I did not know that was Duvall playing the character in Apocalypse Now.  Indeed he did make a great impression.

Looks like fun.  I'm in.

Ah, that's why. I barely remember watching those.

There was only one of them.  The studio found out doing the show on the cheap was not so cheap.  Just about EVERYTHING except the actors was green screen and a few hand held props.  The command room "set" was a bunch of banquet tables wrapped in green cloth.

Just started rewatching Airwolf on amazon. That show is still fun

Just avoid the Scifi seasons.  I think all the aerial scenes were stock footage from the real show and the hacked in live shots were terrible with even the lighting being way way off.

The Galactic Racer's Voice Actor was cringe worthy.  And what happened to the requirement for the engines to be on PODS instead of directly attached?

Prime is getting a couple of good things with this and Ghost in the Shell (and Fist of the North Star).

I've got Prime so I'm happy with that.  

Looks decent - between this Supergirl and Mando I might actually get to the theater multiple times this year.

Being a D&D gamer (The Fantasy Trip in particular) I could not watch the movie no matter what.  The very idea of it was disgusting.  Luckily the whole bunch of "carp" died out when people found out the hysteria was a bunch of "feces".

Oh man - Tom Hanks was in that M&M drivel?  

The ads keep getting better.  Hopefully a good sign.  Even better is it comes out when I'll be visiting back home with a really great Imax theater nearby.
