  1. The difference an original fictional work is in NO WAY lessened by a future movie (or book or TV season, etc...). A "good" person found to really be a despicable person is an entirely different thing.
  2. You should get a chance at seeing that "soon". This looks like a good finish to the series (and sadly my Netflix subscript along with it most likely - I've not watched much of anything on it the past few months)
  3. I really don't understand the idea that a sequel can make someone dislike the original. ( I was going to write more but that sentence really covers it all)
  4. Or that Enterprise toy/model. I don't have that kind of free cash for any of them.
  5. I love the Eagle but $540?! OW!
  6. The first thing they would have to ask is how to maximize profits. With the movie business still going through the fallout from Covid and the unrelated drop off in Superhero box office (I think the drop off in Superhero movie take was due soon anyway) I'm not sure anyone can answer that. From what I hear those that have actually seen the movie said it was decent and worth seeing at the theater - but getting people out to a movie takes more than that now.
  7. The idea of such a pathetic whiny character getting another movie was even considered is a bad sign. Between his temper tantrums and admiral snivel the First Order was a joke at best.
  8. Not completely done, Disney has a couple of Tron coasters to promote...
  9. The predator looks bad. I wonder if it was some kind of money saving problem. From what little I remember this has more screen time for the predator and from the look of it that facial mask might be easier to work with than earlier ones. It looks like the mechanical bits could be worn from more angles while filming.
  10. There are two kinds of kids. Teenagers (and preteens) and children. Mando looks to be aimed at the former (which is what I was when SW originally came out). Skeleton Crew was aimed at the latter.
  11. Yup, where the budget was obviously cut a bit was the number of extras and the limited size of the sets due to the use of the zone, it looked great but limited movement.
  12. I might be an outlier but I found the original Tron movie boring, stilted, and badly acted (or directed - I've certainly seen the two leads give far better performances in other projects).. The FX were interesting but the extras seemed to be wearing ill fitting sweat suits - and that really annoyed me for some reason.
  13. That right there is spot on. I can only see them doing a parody these days. MV was cemented in the time it was made, right down to the pastels (which IIRC they were the instigator of)
  14. Finally saw it yesterday and boy am I glad I did not pay the money to see it in a theater. The only real problem is that it was lackluster. And the lead just didn't have me believing he was Superman (I didn't like the previous Superman movies but I bought into Cavill as being Superman). A bit of the other three supers was OK (when being used for comedy) but they really didn't need to be there at all. The final kicker is if Lex can create a pocket universe Superman should have been no problem at all.
  15. Can't argue there but the machine gun crossbow and Elf archer with the deadpan delivery (is that genius acting or REALLY BAD acting). makes the show. Or was it Jack Palance chewing up the scenario, the script, and everything else the draw? Or perhaps the dialog between the dwarf and giant? Rifftrax does a riff on this one, so that adds to the fun too.
  16. Never saw that in a theater. Might be worth a trip to IMAX.
  17. Speaking of Deathstalker. Anyone else wish they would do a remake of Hawk the Slayer? Too bad Jack Palance is no longer with us.
  18. Deathstalker eh? I'll watch it when it comes out streaming. I have fond memories of it - or was it The Sword and the Sorcerer - or a mix of both...
  19. My kids played it over and over again. My PC was on the other side of the basement and I remember hearing some old western tunes OVER and OVER again. Also something about a creature on the bunny slope...
  20. Is it just my PC or is that the herky jerkiest video in a long time - especially considering it is supposed to be an ad.
  21. Even if I had P+ I still would not be inclined to watch this. Then again when I had P+ the only show I bothered to watch in the last couple years was SNW.
  22. Everybody will get a turn, but Sam is the BEST for that part (according to me).
