  1. Finally caught up with the season finale. Hopefully they don't wuss out and stick with comic's storyline.
  2. I liked Avatar, even with unnecessary white guilt. Expect some VR to be involved with the sequels.
  3. My wife got motion sickness from the 30 second TV trailer. I'd watch it in the theater if I had the spare time from parenting.
  4. So does anybody have any idea why Godzilla looks all F'd up? He almost looks like a zombie version of Godzilla... Godzombie?
  5. The SFX mixed with real vehicles for the military shots looks good. Japan has a higher tech military than I thought.
  6. Just watched it on Amazon. A lot happens in the first episode and I look forward to more.
  7. This could be the best Batman movie ever. Next to the LEGO Batman movie of course
  8. Real friggin' shame about River Phoenix and I remember when he died too. If it wasn't for his stupid death with a drug OD he could of been what Leonardo Dicaprio or Brad Pitt is today. River also could of been the young Indy we're looking for too. Kids, don't do drugs.
  9. When my daughter was about a year old I found this Star Wars sound book on sale at a Home Goods. She loved playing the sounds and even mimicked Jabba's laugh, lol. In the end it got annoying as she constantly had me and my wife read the book to her so we put it away and cycled in new sound books but they never kept her attention like the Star Wars book did. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Sound-Storybook-Treasury/dp/1503700291/ref=pd_sim_sbs_14_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=61JaRh9gYGL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR137%2C160_&refRID=0YTAP187P9N1AQ9RTEHX
  10. The crappy film when you talk trilogies or sequels always comes up in that conversation. 'Yeah, loved Godfather parts 1 and 2 but part 3 sucked.' A sequel may work for EoT but I think its unnecessary as the film ended with the war basically over.
  11. The audience cares. Though it's Star Wars we still want it to feel original. Injecting a Katniss Everdeen makes it feel like pandering to a female audience or worse, desperation. Mind you this is noticeable and not just by us here in MWF. Perhaps a new trailer with some more of Forest Whitaker's character will lessen the Hunger Games comparison. Till then... May the Force be ever in your favor!
  12. The movie was good on its own, far better than I expected. A sequel, especially if done poorly, could diminish the original film.
  13. It's Disney's game to draw in a larger female audience for a genre that typically appeals to ten year old boys. It may work but their plan is rather too obvious at this point. Maybe they'll mix it up by casting a strong female lead character with a Texan accent next time
  14. Star Wars: Mockingjay Disney is obviously pushing a strong female as the main character to broaden the audience and make more money but this is getting to the point of pandering.
  15. Arrivederci! https://youtu.be/krtnt191Drg?t=1m55s
  16. That episode of Rebels felt more like Star Wars than The Force Awakens did. Brilliant!
  17. Starman remake... Starman is one of my favorite films and John Carpenter's best as its so unlike his other action/violent work. Great soundtrack too. I think a remake could work but I'd do it as a television series instead. There was an actual television series that followed the film and though it was popular with its fans but didn't last long on the air. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/starman-remake-works-director-shawn-879805
  18. IIRC Voyager tried to bring Star Blazers back with Yamato 2199 repackaged as Star Blazers. They stopped after a few volumes and then they went dark. Total clown show that makes Harmony Gold look like professionals in comparison.
  19. What made Death Wish interesting was it took place in NYC when crime was rampant. Pre-Bernie Goetz, that was the real Death Wish. I'd like to see Hollywood make a film about him instead. Feel the Bern. Goetz 2016.
