  1. I think that's the point!😉
  2. Nice! That alphabet key is a nice touch. Mine is waiting for shipping from the warehouse.
  3. Season 2 was the best one. Season 3 could have been great, except for all the already posted reasons. The Burn could have been a truly compelling story, but just ended up being a child's tantrum. Maybe I'll watch this last one if I'm bored enough.
  4. Looks so good!
  5. From here @Urashiman it looks like you are doing it very well!
  6. Looks like they are kicking it up a couple of notches.
  7. Just enjoy the movies in all their escapist splendor!
  8. Despite me not liking prequels, this does look good.
  9. I can only assume they meant it as a 'humorous' moment.

    @sc_planet That?! Why, that's just a dirty maintenance panel!😉
  11. @Urashiman It is in good hands!
  12. I don't know myself, but I've seen several pilot reaction vids to this movie, and most of the pilots reacting to it know what the hand signals mean.
  13. I could love you! (in a totally platonic, friend/friend, man-bros way.😉)
  14. Unfortunately, the best decisions often lead to the shortest stories.
  15. ...or, dreaming of ILM, circa 1976! Seen on another site, Hiroshi Sumi recreates the ILM studio that made so many of our now iconic spacecraft! I can't understand most of what he says, but it is quite the little journey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQyLf8xHhDE

    That is a great looking plane! Sure, we all have those little 'woopsies' on our builds, but don't beat yourself up over it. In the Grand Scheme of All Modelling, that is a slight one! Good job!
  17. Gladiator was one thing, it was almost entirely fictional and you could go wherever you wanted with it. Take the entire thing and place it on another planet in a star-spanning empire, and it wouldn't have changed a bit of it. But when you set a story on an actual person's shoulders, the film makers need to keep embellishments to a bare minimum. Tell the history and let it lead, and try to keep the need to put a personalized spin on it, out of it. I haven't seen the movie and don't plan on it, but hearing how it jumps along like a skip-montage and perhaps was meant to be almost humorous(?) certainly was not the way to go. And please, no more with the sex scenes! All that is is just a cheap gimmick when good story telling falls through.
  18. Why am I suddenly imaging a clip of quick-cut scenes played to the tune of Benny Hill!?
  19. Not really. Admittedly, I have not seen Rebels (yet) but Thrawn here came across as a pretty good character. A nice change from overbearing, bombastic villains, he was thoughtful and proactive. I hope they keep up with that in season 2.
  20. 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.😉)
  21. 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.
  22. This has gone off the Cobra Kai Rails!
  23. 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.
