  1. I only get XD in SD... great.
  2. I'd wager you and I are the only two here who have seen Velvet Goldmine, Electric. The question is, would it be Rhys Meyers with accent, or without (AKA Imperial or Republic).
  3. What the hell is Disney XD?
  4. It should also be noted that Connery's performance as Bond influenced Flemming's approach to the character in the later Bond novels. On a side note, I always thought Dalton's Bond was under-appreciated.
  5. You mean like the Bond in Flemming's novels? The only thing he's missing is the chain smoking. Methinks some of you need to learn a bit more about the actual character as written by Ian Flemming before commenting on who the most perfect Bond is.
  6. You don't know the half of it. It's one of the worst abuses of "magic" that I've ever seen.
  7. Oh, and the whole trans-warp beaming nonsense has to go. It's "magic" that only comes into play when the writers can't figure out how to make something work. Sure, it can beam someone across the bloody galaxy, but they can't seem to beam anyone anywhere who is moving or in a cluttered space. Unimaginative nonsense.
  8. Oh, I agree--it's certainly convoluted, contrived mash-up. Lets be honest here: the best work that comes out of Bad Robot are the characters, not the plots.
  9. Have any of you die-hards actually read ANYTHING about Roddenberry and what he wanted? Do you have ANY idea how lucky you are the franchise survived the 1980's? And trust me when I say the lawn was dead. No one under the age of thirty gave a damn about it, and there wasn't exactly a massive fanbase to begin with.
  10. Just came back from seeing it (in 2D, of course, as it was not filmed in 3D). I enjoyed it, was a good time and an exciting ride. It felt a lot like Skyfall for the Trek reboot. Also, I really enjoy the cast and their take on the characters. That said, did anyone else feel like this was a 4 hour movie edited down into 2? I have a few nitpicks which I'll throw in spoiler tags: Oh, and Kirk is a total pimp. Just sayin'. Peter Weller was good, and it's a reboot--your timeline exists elsewhere. Let it go and move on. Except the lawn was dead, and this isn't AstroTurf.
  11. I'll take the lack of responses to mean: NO
  12. I haven't watched since episode 3 because the show seemed headed for mediocrity. Was I wrong to stop?
  13. It's comics, dude--no one is really ever dead.
  14. What? You really thought he was dead for good?
  15. I guess you're stuck waiting for the next Resident Evil movie, then.
  16. Armageddon? This is an Alfonso Cuaron film. Bay doesn't have half this guy's talent. And you're right, there isn't much plot that can be made out of this TEASER TRAILER.
  17. No accounting for taste.
