  1. Much better movie then the first one. There was only one really bad continuity problem (spoiler) but other then that it held together well and the characters were a bit more then just cardboard cutouts. I was entertained the whole way through unlike the first one where I was bored in the first 15 minutes.
  2. Sorry guys, but Vader's downfall was in Return of the Jedi, before that film if you messed with him he killed you, after that if you messed with him he basically said "I'm gonna tell my Daddy on you!" Lucas was so ham-fisted trying to shift the focus of Vader that he totally messed it up.
  3. I can't remember which movie it was but I thought Disney did do a modified opening shot of the Castle once. John Carter was actually a decent film, it was the marketing that was totally screwed up along with the whole boondoggle with the word "Mars". If Disney messes up the marketing for Star Wars 7 then they really ought to stop making movies entirely...
  4. Why would someone still be buying this? I didn't know there were any self-flagellation groups still around...
  5. I loved it! But even at the time I knew it was rubbish. Hard to beat the 3 bladed sword with spring action blades though!
  6. > I don't know when this whole reducing Vader thing started. It started with Return (despite what others have said). Vader's downfall started with this line "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am". After that Vader was a wimp.
  7. Seeing the CGI model is great but I HAVE to comment on the guy's finger hair, I have NEVER seen anything like it...
  8. There is a reason I specified PRE Chronicles of Riddick, sadly that just adds more reasons.
  9. I don't have a picture but Riddick (the original, pre "Chronicles of Riddick" Riddick that is) needs to be in this list somewhere.
  10. Yup, that is the one. The MST3K jokes when that occured are priceless.
  11. Rambo 3 (Rocky 3?, First Blood 3?, hard to remember...) where the supposedly top notch colonel "Sneaks" through Afghanistan with the jeep headlights on, I started laughing there and didn't stop till the end of the movie. Later on someone told me it wasn't a comedy... I really like Demolition Man, his method around the three seashells is classic.
  12. > Night of the leepers That is lepus, not Leepers. Leepers probably would be even harder to find... Truly dreadful film, regular rabbits filmed against miniature buildings, still it beats out "End of the World" where regular crickets are filmed crawling on the PICTURE of a building... (watch the MST3K version of "End of the World" for a treat - and "Manos the Hands of Fate" too)
  13. An evil Dead movie without Bruce Campbell is like a Pink Panther movie without Peter Sellers - it just does not work. I am not a fan of most horror movies, far too much gore and far too little horror. My list would be short. Holloween. Alien Them Dagons Dragon (the Space 1999 episode, STILL one of the scariest things I have ever seen)
  14. I'll probably have to read Red Storm Rising again as a tribute. Rainbow Six, that was just plain terrible. Everybody has a clunker or two though.
  15. No need to get upset about a remake of Scarface, since the one everyone is holding up as the original IS a remake to begin with. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023427/ I've never personally seen the original and it is hard to beat "Say hello to my little friend"
  16. Yup, in a universe where that goofy aircraft carrier exists worrying about a bad flying car design is a waste of time.
  17. Best visuals in a movie is either Nausica or Akira. DYRL is up there though. EOE I don't remember, but I am fairly certain I saw it (I think I watched all the Evangelion work at any rate).
  18. > I can't wait to read all the hate I was gonna say "Let me be the first" but Anime beat me to it... Looks like a bad idea but I will wait to pass judgment, I'll be waiting a looooooong time actually - maybe forever.
  19. MS does not stay in business by NOT selling things. Tablets ARE selling, and quite well, if MS does not find a way to get a sizeable chunk of the tablet business they are going to be in big trouble. At work we are in the middle of a PC replacement cycle right now, old machines are NOT capable enough any longer.
  20. I see those Surface tablets just zooming out the stores too - while windows pc sales are slumped - at best...
