    The dub sounds non-offensive to my ears. I would always watch with original audio, but the voice cast looks to be pretty decent for the dub. Can confirm the Chariots of Fire-esque music is missing from all audio tracks. However, it has all of the original science lessons (not sure on the newer ones), different matting options for the episodes done widescreen, and some other bonus content. Lastly, not sure on picture quality. I'm not overly impressed with it, but that may be due to the original source. Would need someone with the Japanese blu to compare.

    They could easily have cut 40 minutes out of this movie. Maybe more. I liked the ending, but man, I was bored for long stretches of this movie.

    Got the shipment notification from Amazon. Will be here tomorrow. Hopefully this release doesn't suck. 😊

    My stepmother loves Indiana Jones, so I'll be going to see this on release day with her and probably my father. I expected this to run 60-70% on RT and a month out it's at 50. That's whatever. Lowers my expectations, but I'm not overly concerned one way or the other. If I don't love it, my life will go on.

    If David Hayter isn't voicing Snake in the MSG3 remake, I'm not interested.

    IGN? Really? 🙄

    Please don't post rumors without spoiler tags, as they may potentially be spoilers.

    Something else to keep in mind: reactions out of Cannes should ALWAYS be taken with a grain of salt. This movie could be far better--or worse--than we're seeing being reported.
  9. Duke Togo
    The "negative" reviews out of Cannes seem mostly to be that the movie is predictable. It's a "legacy sequel" that recycles what has come before. I haven't read any reviews that it's poorly shot, poorly acted, or even poorly written. I expect it to settle around 65-70% on RT. Which is fine for me, but YMMV. My stepmother is a huge Indiana Jones fan, so I'll likely see it with her. But, it isn't some ultra-important genre film for me. I'd be more concerned if Dune Part 2 was getting some shade.

    Word out if Cannes is that it's a fine, well-made movie, but that it plays it too safe and ends up feeling like a recycling of Indiana Jones's greatest hits. Which, I'm fine with. Better than another Crystal Skull.

    This was a solid, entertaining movie. Nothing bad to say about it.

    Internet rumor not being reported by any reputable sites. Color me skeptical.

    I both support his actions and worry about what this means for the show.

    I have it for PS5, it's busted. I'm expecting it to be a month or so before it's playable. Playable equal to its price tag, not playable as in "does the game load and can you do stuff?"
  15. Duke Togo
    No reputable sites are reporting this. Not even a whisper.

    Is this a good time for me to say I'm not a fan of Filoni's work and I'm hoping the seeming reboot we get at the end of this episode means less of his nonsense in this show?
  17. Duke Togo
    I'm actually relieved with how they handled the season ender. And it gives me hope for the future of the show.
  18. Duke Togo
    Anything Filoni is involved in is going to skew more towards a young audience. Notice he isn't even a producer on Andor and how much more adult it is.

    I'd be ok if we never saw Boba Fett again.
  20. Duke Togo
    Fair point. But I would argue that the one thing Disney Star Wars hasn't suffered from is poor directors. When there's a failure or misfire, it's generally a story/script issue. I'm not overly concerned.
  21. Duke Togo
    How much of Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy'a work have you seen?
  22. Duke Togo
    Highly unlikely, given Lucas's track record. And whatever you think of the stories, the sequels were well casted, acted, and shot, and made very effective use of practical, in-camera effects. We would have gotten none of that with Lucas. They would have been a green-screen, CGI-fest mess.

    I'm sorry, no. That's some serious revisionist history that doesn't match up with reality. The man was chalk full of bad ideas and poor instincts.
