  1. 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.
  2. Not completely done, Disney has a couple of Tron coasters to promote...
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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)
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Never saw that in a theater. Might be worth a trip to IMAX.
  11. Speaking of Deathstalker. Anyone else wish they would do a remake of Hawk the Slayer? Too bad Jack Palance is no longer with us.
  12. 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...
  13. 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...
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Everybody will get a turn, but Sam is the BEST for that part (according to me).
  17. They made a whole boatload of Pink Panther films without the Pink Panther. (remember - the Pink Panther was the Diamond in the first film). Jokes aside, Tron is more of a universe then a character.
  18. More like Terminator then Robo. Heck if they called the corporation that makes them Skynet Corp...
  19. I only knew him from his Starfire books which were solid entertainment - casually based on a really fun board wargame. Rest in Peace.
  20. At this point anyone needing an origin movie for Superman - is not going to see a Superman movie anyway. Planning on seeing it next weekend, no other big releases coming up till the 25th so hopefully still in Imax, a regular theater if not.
  21. Not worth any more arguments. EXCEPT - Bring up anything in Last Jedi is counterproductive. That movie was a train wreck from start to finish. (and I'll say no more on that either)
  22. B5 had an entire episode (granted not one of their best, or even a very good one) that followed a couple of maintenance men around the station.
  23. No they are not - anyone with any idea where Yavin 4 is should be kept on Yavin 4 or going no futher than a collection point where they pick up and pilot other starships to Yavin from those collection points. Anyone going anywhere else should have no idea where the rebel base is, only the collection points. As for the spoiled rich politicians, sure they could all say they have to know where the base is - but in any realistic universe at all that would have meant instant doom to keep that secret. Star Wars could get away with bad logic like that(*) since as Harrison Ford reportedly said to Mark Hamill "It ain't that kind of movie kid". Andor was trying to be that kind of series. (*) - Leia should never have had the Falcon go straight from the DT to Yavin, they could have had those plans studied anywhere and the Empire would not find the Yavin base (which Leia knew they were doing from her own dialog).
