  1. Watched Rebel Moon 2, and it was not bad. I know the popular approach is to deride it into the dirt for, reasons, but it was actually alright. Yes, I did fast forward through the loooooong and slooooooow harvest montage, but it got better once the action started up. Actually, I think more time could/should have been spent on the mythical aspects of the Princess than on the harvest or any worry about Noble's mental state. Since he came across as just as unstable before Kora killed him the first time, there seemed little reason to worry or waste screen time. Which, again, should have been better spent exploring the history of the Princess and where her abilities were thought to have come from. I mean, c'mon, she can bring things back to life and died with a mystical light pouring out of her! Give us more of that! Anyway, still don't like the ships. Ugly, bulbous things that look like potatoes and, apparently, run on coal!? Or a coal-like substance that somehow feeds into a massive 'statue' of a woman in bondage..? Huh..? Some weird design choices there. The only ships I did like were the Rebel's one-man fighters. I'd take a model of those, or at least a gimmicky toy like the drop-ship/popcorn bowl. Do like the power swords too! Those are cool! And apparently keyed to a bearer, seeing how Kora had to wrap the hilt of the one she used to keep from burning her hand. But, good action and passable story. The character were fleshed out a little more, enough to feel for some of their deaths at least, though to have Kora skip telling them who she was in their 'bonding over hardships' scene and just to resolve that with an 'we already knew' non-twist that went nowhere seemed like just another waste of screen time. That being said, if Snyder does do the third one, I'll watch.
  2. I like the Minnions, but I hope there is more Gru and kids in it than that.
  3. Agree that they ruined it by trying to rush it all. They needed to play the long game. On JL alone, I definitely prefer Snyder Cut over Whedon's attempt to remake the whole thing in his 'image.' The only thing I don't like about the Snyder Cut are the future shots of an evil Supes. After everything, there was no way he was going to be able to tell that story and so leaving it in, as a plot that basically went nowhere, was a bad choice, IMO. Take that part out and it is a good movie!
  4. I see you actually got it to fly. No stand!
  5. Now dear Bernard lies in darkness, most loyal of fighters. The sound of the harp shall not wake the warrior; nor shall the man hold a golden wine-cup, nor good hawk swing through the hall, nor the swift horse stamp in the courtyard. An evil death has set forth the noble warrior A song shall sing the sorrowing minstrels of Meduseld That noble lord, who always held me dear Now is held in darkness, enclosed. Rest in a Peace well earned.
  6. Great job @pengbuzz! Congrats on the finish. She looks read for a tussle with Red Wolf!
  7. I mean in regards to the look of the main baddy. Leia had hers on to play a part and the Stormtroopers are early copy/paste Star Trek-style redshirts. Here we see another main baddy donning a sinister helmet, complete with creepy grin.
  8. My only complaint so far is the same as this. Make it something old, not just 'hey, my gramps mentioned knowing that guy!' A millennia is a good, full number and more than enough span for a pallet-cleanser. Other than that, and some line delivery, I'm interested. So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing. P.S. As for the face-concealing helmets, it is like the writers/designers forgot that Vader had to wear that to stay alive and that Ben wore his in homage to his grandfather.
  9. Wow, love this art work. Not Lion-o as he looks almost nothing like the original but all the rest look awesome.
  10. Don't have the decals, but just gotta say, I love the name choice!
  11. "Water my ass, get this guy some Pepto-Bismol!" Such a great film. I wish there had been The Search for More Money!
  12. I said 'cell' and that is cool too!
  13. Like it jumped right off the cell!
  14. C'mon, we all dressed up at one time or another...
  15. He ded. I'd much rather see a movie about Scar. Naaaa....
  16. I like the 'mess of meat and goo' part.
  17. They better go to the movie on horseback and in full make-up!
