  1. It seems like an awful amount of 'history' to shove into two plus hours. Sounds like it would have been best to concentrate on one or two defining moments - and keep to Fact over entertaining Fiction. And nix the sex scenes! More often than not, they are just uncomfortable and needless wastes of important minutes. (seconds.😉)
  2. I'd make a slight correction to the story, as it is the third stealth bomber. The erroneously designated F-117 was the first. Pretty cool though, finally seeing it in the air.
  3. I'll look forward to this one and watch it, and probably end up liking it. But the future of the DCU is still pretty hazy, so I won't know if I am watching something that may tie back into a new film franchise - or just the last gasp of the old one.
  4. Me calling anything lame when my favorite 80's kung-fu movie is...
  5. Oh, Over the Top was over the top awesome! I miss you already...
  6. Let's face it, the first Karate Kid movie was also lame.
  7. I've only seen her in some of the live actions as well. I've never seen Rebels or the other animated show either, for about the same reason, as I am much more a live action fan for Star Wars/Trek stuff. And yes, despite the title, it was definitely more ensemble.
  8. I think the show was enough about Ahsoka for the title, but was glad it didn't dwell on her the entire time. I enjoyed seeing the other characters getting filled out, as well as interacting with the MC, as much as seeing Ahsoka. Lightsabers are also a bit of a macguffin, with their power ramped up or dimmed depending on the scene/mission. It's also possible Shin didn't intend to kill Sabine in that moment and so 'turned the blade' as it were. And I imagine there was quite a bit of surgery we didn't see to repair the damage. It's also 'ancient aliens' medicine, so thus more akin the 'magic.' IMO, Thrawn was really good. He rarely fell into the usual villain trope of over-extension and pride/immediate victory over all. His one goal was to get off of Peridea and back to the Empire. And once he knew who is adversary was, he took immediate steps to mitigate her advantages. Against a Jedi, he did pretty good. I'm really hoping they keep that up for season 2, as a good, competent villain makes a show. As for Ezra, I don't think there was much reason for him to stay on the Chimaera. Yes, he is a Jedi(ish) but it was much more important to get word of Thrawn's return to the New Republic than spy or sabotage. And, letting their friends know that Ahsoka and Sabine are stuck in another galaxy could spur on a rescue mission.
  9. Not that no. Several scenes taken from Gravity, 65, Passengers... Is Alien: Romulus even a thing?
  10. I think I saw this in Scary Movie...
  11. Welcome to the Forum and lovely looking battroid! Will be happy to see more!
  12. IMO, they were good movies and more than entertaining enough, but what is it they could have improved on?
  13. It doesn't look that bad. A few line deliveries sounded a bit flat and they need to fix some CG. I'm guessing this is set in the past, though one guy on the subway had a cell phone..? Admit, I don't know much (anything) about Madame Web.
  14. I've rarely had a problem with Tamiya acrylics. But then I use it mainly for paint and glossing for decals and leave the final clear (mostly) to an enamel.
  15. Nice! An armored valk in trainer colors! Welcome, welcome!
  16. I like your dedication to the canopy-issue, but have you thought of making a solid buck and doing a plunge mold for the canopy? @pengbuzz Sorry to hear there is a set-back. I'm sure you'll overcome it.
  17. I liked it. It had some problems, but it was a fun movie overall. Great seeing Larson back as Danvers and I hope it's not the last time. As I do really hope they will be pulling those threads shown in the credits scenes. So much potential!
