I'm not sure I understand this. We complained for decades about how difficult it was to get anything Macross outside of Japan. And now that it's opening up and we'll have legal options, you're still going to pirate it? That's kinda a stick in the eye to Big West who is trying to make this available to us.

Yeah, I saw it opening day in my preferred seats, but have had trouble getting tickets in those same seats since then. Movie is doing a lot of business.

I generally don't buy tv shows on physical media, but I may make an exception for Andor. Though, I'd wait for the complete series to be available in a single purchase.

James Clavell's Shogun on FX, premieres on Feb 27, 2024
Duke Togo replied to peter's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The series is moving very fast and they're condensing events more than I thought they would given the run time of it. I suspect they're saving a chunk of time for -
The first movie is the bulk of the book. The second movie is maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of the book and it goes pretty quickly. So, not rushed, it's just how it was written. The main difference being there is a multiple-year time jump in the book that would have had to take place early in the second movie (if not in between movies).

Napoleon is bad. Like The Counselor bad. And the guy who wrote it wrote the script for Gladiator 2. Does not bode well for that movie.

Godzilla Minus One - November 3rd 2023
Duke Togo replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, this was just a good, old-fashioned Godzilla movie. Very enjoyable. -
Its main problem is that it's not particularly well written. The faithfulness to the source is irrelevant given that. It's posing as high-brow sci-fi, but it's really not.

I've read the original trilogy of Foundation books. They didn't really grab me, but they weren't bad. On a whim I recently decided to give the show a try. Almost done with the second season and I can't imagine myself continuing on past this. This is about as unfaithful as an adaption as could be made. They took the primary conceit of the books and crafted an entirely new story out of it that just doesn't measure up. And it has so many twists and turns and hand waves that it just doesn't work for me.

Looks ridiculous, has Godzilla. What's not to like? Would it be better if they were all played by guys in rubber suits (which wasn't that long ago)? I'm down to watch Big G kick some ass. And sure, Kong too.
