  1. Just saw it. It was good but... wasn't better than T3 IMHO. I doubt we'll see a sequel but my love for all things Terminator was pretty much terminated after the FOX series cancellation and weak films after T3. If there is going to be another Terminator film it should be a reboot, no more rehashed sequels. That being said Mackenzie Davis and other actors from the film have a bright future ahead of them.
  2. Jeff Goldblum is the new Christopher Walken. Not a bad thing.
  3. PSA digital copies of the TERMINATOR films are on sale on VUDU. I bought 1 through 3, watching 2 right now. It's the film that has held up the most over the years, hard to believe it's almost 30 years old. Yes, the original is a great classic but hasn't held up as well because of its dated SFX and very 1980s styling.
  4. One thing missing from the new Terminator films is the scare factor the original first film had. He was practically Jason from Friday the 13th. Remember this scene? I remember some in the audience jumped when the Terminator tried to grab Sarah. I also remember my nanny who took me and my brother, I was ten years old in 1984, to see it was covering her eyes most of the film. I had a great time!
  5. Looks like the film is doing poorly at the box office. Not surprised for different reasons, namely recent crappy sequels. I do plan on seeing the film but my love for the franchise died when the FOX series was cancelled. https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2019/11/02/box-office-james-cameron-and-tim-millers-terminator-dark-fate-starring-linda-hamilton-and-arnold-schwarzenegger-bombs-with-apocalyptic-11-million-friday/#6046f9515a3e
  6. No flying cars but we don't have to use a payphone to make a video call that costs you $1.25 If I had to choose between a smartphone and a flying car I think I'd choose the smartphone.
  7. I think OP meant this for BLADE RUNNER only, the other titles already had their special times pass by.
  8. My company held a Halloween contest for best costume and best office/cubicle decoration. My team won best office decoration, I took home the prize of a $50 gift card since I did all the work. Thats me in my costume in my office. Didn't win best costume though, lol.
  9. No flying cars or replicants but Los Angeles did devolve into a sh*thole as predicted, lol. That being said, Blade Runner is one of my favorite films so this month is is a big moment for me too. I have more to post on this later when I get home later tonight.
  10. I got a $5 coupon from Fandango so I may go see it just to get out of the house for a couple of hours. I don't expect much, probably won't be better than T3 which was a good movie IMHO.
  11. You guys shouldn't overthink the sci-fi logic in Star Wars, especially the recent films. I try not to think about the stupid Starkiller base in TFA as I get brain damage if I do.
  12. Back when Vin Diesel had 'hair' and before he went full action star. You never go full action star.
  13. Re-watched the teaser, would it kill their budget to add some tire smoke when the vehicle skidded to a stop? Cheap cheap!!
  14. As far as Star Wars trilogy ending trailers go I think ROTS did it right, didn't expect Palpatine to get so interesting!! ROTJ was pretty damn amazing for its time though.
  15. Looks interesting. That being said, after seeing Vin Diesel in Saving Private Ryan and Boiler Room almost 20 years ago I know he can act better.
  16. I really hate CGI in anime as it looks like crap or ages badly. Some cel shaded anime works but only if done right.
  17. Saw it last night with the wife for date night. I liked it, really got lost in that sh*thole of Gotham that takes inspiration from other big cities that are about as awful; looking at you Baltimore, NYC, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Marvel may make big spectacle films but they have yet to be as Oscar worthy as DC's films. Note: Black Panther was not Oscar worthy IMHO.
  18. So I had this ALIEN 18in doll for almost 20 years and couldn't figure out who made it, had no manufacturer marking and bought unboxed it at a comic book shop in 1999 IIRC. Did some digging on Google and after filtering many ALIEN toys I found it was made in Japan in the mid 1990s. Don't think it has that much value, especially since the tail just broke off http://www.hideousplastic.com/?page_id=921
