  1. I never saw Raiders at the movies, it was actually the first move I ever watched on videotape (Betamax no less). Even though the home movie watching experience is now better then any theater experience (besides Imax) I may still go to the theater to watch it.
  2. for the 23% thing. It wasn't that scene, if instead they had done it with one of the Book of Fett scenes (heck, practically the whole show)...
  3. Chalk that up to residuals. Disney is crunching the numbers on viewership and finding that is show is not pulling in enough eyeballs to justify the show staying on. It really should be residuals based on viewings but I'm guessing (just guessing) that there is no trust left for anyone to agree to the viewership figures for that to be possible.
  4. Absolutely. It is an Imax movie or wait till it comes out on home video. Heck, once the Quest 3 comes out I might even just wait for everything. The Quest VR headset (and all the others) have a VR watching mode that makes it look just like an Imax movie theater (among other choices). The only problem is the headset is too heavy for me to watch a movie with - the Q3 is going to be half the size though.
  5. If they could only have gotten/kept that kind of a vibe throughout the DCVerse movies they would have been doing a lot better box office. I might actually go see this in Imax.
  6. OK, they got me. That looks like it could be good.
  7. I'd heard she had been in bad health for a good while now. One of the music stars of my youth. RIP.
  8. The only Indy movie I did not like, AT ALL, was Temple of Doom. Crystal Skull wasn't great but I had a good time watching it. From the trailers I have seen this one looks like it will be a fun time as well.
  9. The 100 or so rooms is the killer, even trying to operate it as just a themed hotel will not work with so few rooms. Something they might be able to do is replace all of the cast intensive intensive parts of the hotel with animatronic or "holographic" projection items. That would allow charging a premium (not a premium like they were charging) while cutting operating cost. Have to see what they come up with, they might completely gut it or add another wing or two in order to increase capacity.
  10. I miss old style Indy type movies so I'm fine with it too. We will see if the setup to hand off the franchise backfires this time too. (I'm assuming Indy is not going to be recast but a son/daughter/student carries on the tradition)
  11. I was a prime sucker, er customer, for that - till I saw the price (and the tacky preview video). Granted it was going to be a one and done type of stay. I'm hoping they do something to make a less expensive attraction out of it. A hotel with the theming but not the "entertainment" or "story" and which you can stay any number of nights would be interesting for the correct price. Considering the de-theming they are doing at their other hotels I figure they are going to chalk this up to "people don't want to pay a premium for theming anymore" instead of "way too expensive and tacky".
  12. My only question all these years has been "what is BEFORE midnight, or at least far enough after not to be AFTER"
  13. That looks like it is worth going to the theater for. The first action scifi movie I have said that about in years.
  14. I loved that post.
  15. I don't know the sales numbers of either (here in the states) but unless the numbers for RT are a lot higher why would they even bother? Just get the Macross stuff over as Macross (and the other two titles have so little new content they can be ignored anyway)
  16. Zathras never get offended, Zathras beast of burden...
  17. No no, it is pronounced Zathras, hear the difference? As for the multiverse thing, B5 never really had that (it had time travel but it was a closed loop for the most part) but I will give it a watch.
  18. One of the best shown parts is how the rebellion gets a foothold, Empires and dictatorships almost always end up falling due to the back stabbing that goes along with them - and the Empire as shown in Andor is that on steroids. All the Imperials are more interested in growing their own little kingdom then doing the job with the exception of the one female imperial, maybe...
  19. No I don't "associate it" - it IS. The character as portrayed is exactly the stereotype, right down to the accent. Woody Allen made great use of it in New York Stories.
  20. I hate to say it but the loss of the Sinclair character ended up being a massive improvement if those notes are accurate (and if it had been kept to anyway, I would bet JMS was mulling some of these changes even before Michael O'Hare's illness became a problem)
  21. For me there was Captain Crunch (Peanut Butter preferable) and then everything else... EDIT - As for the Character Development. That is good, very good but not when it has to be done with a badly done religious stereotype mother.
  22. The new TV show/reboot is still very much iffy at best. The execs might be waiting to see how the animated movie works out (but maybe not). I am optimistic for the movie but cautiously so - Legend of the Rangers was dreadful and JMS did not say that was due to network interference when I saw him in an interview on it.
  23. When JMS said they were doing a "special" project with the original cast I thought it would be some kind of lame cast reunion show, I never thought it would be an actual story of some kind. Looking forward to it.
  24. Wow, I last resurrected this nearly six years ago to the day... Animated B5 movie is done, just needing to be released. A lot of the remaining original cast having VA roles in it. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/babylon-5-animated-movie-j-michael-straczynski-1235602391/
  25. You didn't find a guy eating Froot Loops while being harrased by his thin caricature of a nagging Jewish mother exciting?
