    Just remembered where I saw a musical thing or two for a horror/bad guy focused movie "The Abominable Doctor Phibes" - it is not a recommendation for doing so. Good old Svengoolie, would never have known of this movie or that it had a sequel (which is slightly better, make that less terrible).

    I don't think the show is trash, forgettable pretty much covers it. I wasn't hoping for more but actually expecting much worse. Some of the complaints I don't agree with either - sure Ben is not acting like a hero Jedi - Hero Jedi get NOTICED and that is the last thing he wants to have happen. I think the show did (well Ewen did) a good job showing his inner termoil at wanting to help and knowing that doing so is the worst thing he can do at the moment. Where the show falls apart is having none of the existing Jedi apparently be smart enough to start a resistance group or two on their own. Part of THAT is due to Star Wars (the original without roman numerals) make it clear there were no Jedi left except Ben and Yoda - so the Rebel Alliance has nobody with force abilities working with them. Worse is all the Inquisitors running around with EVERYONE seeming to know who they are and being afraid of them while Star Wars made it plain that most people had no clue there were any force users left. I'm rambling, to sum up - to do a prequel with known characters was a landmine strewn path (yup, I mentioned that before)

    Much better would be a story where Obi Wan showed up for part of an episode. Then people would have been freaking out over him showing up... (without advertising he would be in it and not making him take up the last 3 or 4 episodes from the "main" character)

    And that is as far as I have ever gotten with the second Temple of Doom. That scene alone was so horrible I turned it off and have never watched the rest.

    As I said, it is a movie series where people can live in Space with just an oxygen mask. The idea it is colder on Hoth at any time then in the upper atmosphere is pure nonsense. > Oh and here's another one , if you want . What was Lukes speeder called in ANH?😜 Carnival ride 101...
  6. Dynaman
    The upper atmosphere of any planet is COLD. So for a flying vehicle to need modification to operate in cold weather is nonsensical. Bein Star Wars where people can exist with just a loose fitting air mask in space I guess nonsensical is not such a problem.

    When they first take off in Episode IV it is not due to any kind of lift from air over the wings so they can hover or at the very least move up and forward very slowly. Being that they are flying vehicles "snow" was always a nonsensical description to being with.

    I'm guessing that is sarcasm but Eurythmics were EVERYWHERE back then (and Annie Lennox is an incredible singer). I don't remember ever hearing of Kate Bush or the song till Stranger Things. One more season after this IIRC. I'm guessing it ends with 11 either losing her powers for good to seal up the upside down or becoming the baddie in the last season.

    Just finished the available episodes and two things to say. First is they hit it out of the park yet again and second July can't come soon enough. It started out a bit slow but what a "mid-season" finale.

    I used to catch many movies at the old $2 second run theaters. Although some still manage to hang on (at least till 2020) they are pretty much extinct too with modern film distribution.

    No, it is much closer to the SR-71 Blackbird. With a bit of the B2 stealth bomber thrown in.

    But they couldn't even take on the Rebels crew. One half trained Jedi and one with talent and no training. Granted that was the cartoon but even the one they killed was hardly much of a Jedi.
  13. Dynaman
    Inquisitors - I see Vader sitting around in his castle and when one of them reports a Jedi (by dying) he comes out to their last position and hunts the Jedi down.
  14. Dynaman
    The "Wash, Rinse, Repeat" montage just shows that Ben's cover identity has lasted a long time. It in no way explains how he is so badly out of practice. As for Luke, he would need to train him simply to teach Luke how to hide his ability. Though even that is a right mess between the original Star Wars (no signs of ability AT ALL till trained) and later shows making it apparent a person with Luke's potential is going to show obvious signs long before they turn 19.

    I was VERY surprised at how good the first movie was and this one looks like they did the right thing by time travelling them to the present. Getting P+ for a month for the Star Trek series binge anyway so will be watching this too.

    That brought up a thought. Would Roger be used for the Rabbit test if Jessica thought she was pregnant? It does take place in the late forties or early fifties...

    The reason it is divisive is due to the problem introduced when Lucas decided to make Darth Vader the father of Luke. That and making Leia his sister left a massive hole in the exposition and logic. The original movies, not focusing on it, managed to more or less steer clear of the potholes. Doing backstory leaves them no choice but to drive right over them. Personally I find the show decent, though the fight with Vader was pathetic - granted it is ten years since the last fight and Obi is not in the best practice but he can't have gotten THAT bad.

    Latest news is the Grogu, The Mandalorian, and Bobba Fett are coming to Star Wars Land. Good thing there though not confirmed for Florida, only for California so far. The Guardians coaster is a hit (not for me though) and the railroad and Tron are coming along nicely. Personally I hope the RR is back in November when I go back, Roller Coasters are not my thing but if they keep crowds flocking to them for a bit and take some of the crowds away from other rids that is good with me.

    Darn it! Where is that parody someone put together, taking all the footage of the cast (intently) watching the viewscreen with moans and groans from an adult movie playing...
  20. Dynaman
    Here is the shot I'm speaking of. Even an 18" model would have to have been shot at a REALLY long distance to get it this small on screen.
  21. Dynaman
    True, but the Enterprise in those flyby scenes is TINY. It takes up a very small portion of the screen. How far away does the camera have to be to make it that tiny? No apparent use of having used lense tricks (like they did on the Vaseline bridge shots)
  22. Dynaman
    Though the scene has problems none of them are due to the acting.
  23. Dynaman
    An eighteen inch model would still be HUGE unless the camera was really far away. I suppose they filmed things "sideways" (for the top down shots) to allow positioning the camera further away from the props but that would still be many feet.
  24. Dynaman
    The enterprise in those flyby shots was a tiny one. A few inches.
  25. Dynaman
    In any way that counts in regard to military discipline, no Top Gun was not realistic. Not even close. So no need to even speculate on "why" in regards to why Maverick is still around. More so for a guy who had never actually been in combat BEFORE the movie. (since actually having flown a combat mission cuts you "some" slack - but even there not a lot).
