    That reminds me - whatever happened to the Segway? For regular people it was mostly a waste but for the disabled it could have been modified and be a massive help. Those in wheelchairs might have been able to "stand" and "walk" with it and thus be able to go a lot more places. (like that chair in an anime, the CGI Harlock maybe)

    The predator species is far more technologically advanced than humanity and clearly consider us nothing more than dangerous game. The ones who have to prove themselves would be the humans - and learn the predator language. The predators probably have computers translate everything for them just like we are very close to having now.

    Since a similar scale plastic model goes for $100 these days that is not bad. Not enough room to store it sadly or I would be tempted.

    THAT is exactly what I am talking about.

    The problem with discord is the lack of threaded conversations. It all ends up in one big jumble. I hate that. Old message boards could get away with that since there were far fewer people on them. (I think there was an option to view conversations in a threaded manner but I don't remember it doing much) The problem with social media sites (all of them I am aware of) is they work best by fueling anger - things that make you angry get pumped to your feed in ever greater numbers. Unlike the old days of mass media the companies doing this are not held responsible for content that appears on their site. Partly due to the laws shielding them early in the nineties and partly due to claiming it is just an "algorithm".

    It looks interesting but I am not a fan of the animation style. Still I'll be giving it a watch when it comes to the US.

    Aliens and Alien 3 are great examples. The crappiness of A3 (or any of the other piles of garbage after) in no way diminished Alien or Aliens. Does anyone here think the original Superman movie is in any way diminished by the dreck of Superman 3?

    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.

    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)

    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)

    Or that Enterprise toy/model. I don't have that kind of free cash for any of them.

    I love the Eagle but $540?! OW!

    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.

    Well, they are in the business of making money.

    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.

    Not completely done, Disney has a couple of Tron coasters to promote...

    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.

    Same here. Looks like fun.

    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.

    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.
  21. Dynaman
    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.
  22. Dynaman
    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)

    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.

    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.
  25. Dynaman
    Never saw that in a theater. Might be worth a trip to IMAX.
