  1. To quote Kirk in STII "Aren't you Dead (Robotech)"
  2. Well, Phantom Menace gave us that and based on that the answer is NO! I admit to watching CSpan coverage of the House and Senate from time to time.
  3. Historically some of the nastiest fighting in a war against a dictator or any revolution happens after the dictator falls. The victors very often only have one thing in common - wanting the dictator out.
  4. They did not need to go that route either. The Wars could have kept right on going after the Empire fell - just because everyone wanted rid of the Empire did not mean they all wanted the same kind of government AFTER the Empire. A bit of that chaos starts making people hanker for the old certainty of life under the Empire...
  5. Sadly all I really know him for was the Grill, but it was one of the few infomercial contraptions that actually worked well. That and at least on TV he seemed to be a decent fellow.
  6. It DRAGS for a number of episodes and then BOOOOM the plot takes off. Wait till at least that episode (you will know it when you see it).
  7. More importantly, I have no idea what the show is about and the modern trailers don't help at all in that regard. The trailer looks like a show about a coffee house with some creep filming it on a hidden camera...
  8. I'd like to see someone treat the source material with respect, the old (I hate to call it the original) movie crapped all over the source book. Not to say I agree with the conclusion of the book and find it's politics unworkable but it did make a good argument for government by those who had actually risked something.
  9. Wouldn't that be "Old Guns" by now?
  10. I'm just surprised this crap is making enough money for them to keep doing it - even with the quarter of a shoestring budget they are made on.
  11. Since I was up for roughly 40 hours straight (between flights and waiting for transfers) they could have shown ANYTHING and I would have said it was OK, if I remembered it later at all. BB I saw at roughly the halfway point in the trip and it was still just, MEH...
  12. Just saw this on a LONG plane ride. It was, OKish. Someone on IMDB said it was like having three plots smashed together but only getting 1/3 of the story from each and that is the best way to describe it. The callbacks to the original film seemed like pandering to me instead of nostalgic as well (the Day-O song being the prime offender there).
  13. impressive as a possible first step toward more realistic artificial limbs (or a dead end). Otherwise it is the stuff of nightmare fuel.
  14. All good but that Macross city RTS map is an awesome idea. It looks just like the real ones.
  15. I have not kept track - when is this supposed to take place, last thing I remember watching was Dinos were all over the planet.
  16. Make that -2. Mind you there is a decent story underneath the ddddrrrraaaawwwwnnnn (drawn) out run time. The hanna Barrbara looking villains don't help matters either.
  17. I think the magic baseball bat was more intimidating for them... Nice figures though!
  18. Right there you have already put more thought into it then the writers did.
  19. I tried to warn you Seto! Your 13 minute mark is where I decided this film has no hope at all of being good - or even watchable. The intro on the mirror universe was bad The info dump briefing was a badly hacked attempt at the Mission Impossible "this tape will self destruct" briefing (or the Star Wars opening scroll). THEN that bar scene starts and just the camera work alone screams out garbage coming up!
  20. The problem is not Section 31 in particular. This movie was bad from the get go. Terrible writing no matter what universe it was written for. I say from the get go since I only made it through about 10 minutes. I was not watching it looking to hate it either. Last time I had a franchise move that was so terrible was the second Indiana Jones movie.
  21. I watched the first 10 minutes or so (just when the disco/bar scene starts) and I could not keep watching. If anyone makes it past there and finds it gets MUCH better let us know. Otherwise I can't stand to watch any more.
