    Went to the parks the last three days. It is as packed as 2019 or before would be for the day. No excuse not to have everything up and running now. Besides masks indoors there is no covid related measures in place any longer either.

    The Youtube ad blurb for the Galactic Starcruiser went so well they yanked if off the new already... Since the thing was out of my price range anyway I was not going to go, seeing (some) of that video let me know that I would not be missing out on anything. Maybe if the stay was a quarter the price I would try it even with the lame presentation but not a chance at the current pricing. So THANKS! Disney, you made that one an easy pass.

    Showing the Aes Sedai BEFORE the characters meet them was a very bad move on the part of whoever made that decision. The books introduced them slowly as the characters got to know about them. The books at least are not "Male sexist messaging". The TV show is nowhere near far enough along to know what the intent there is either. EDIT - as for in-universe consistency. The books managed to do so though there is an obvious bit where it was stretched out from a single book(*) to a trilogy and then to the 15 or so it ended up being. (*) - It has an obvious spot where the first book was left with a hook to continue it if it sold well enough.

    I only watched the first one and since it didn't really grab my interest I have not watched any of the others yet. I agree they made changes that don't seem to make much sense since they will cause trouble sticking with the source material later on. The trollocs came out very well on screen but some of the other FX were not really that good considering the budget they said they had.

    Midway is a decent movie. It follows the history much more closely then the Pearl Harbor movie did.

    A movie can be shown in IMAX but not "BE" in IMAX. Since this was not originally filmed for IMAX it would be a pretty slim difference (maybe like turning old 2d movies into crummy 3d movies a decade ago).

    That looks like a $10 (inflation there) toy.

    Hate to argue with him (OK, not really) but THE true measure of success is reproducing.

    This latest season of Who is by far the best of the Jodi Whitaker Who. Too bad the first couple were not this well done.

    Since I have D+ already I'll give it a watch.

    In his case would that be pre-mentia? I don't know where I got it in my head that Luke was born, given to Obi-Won who takes him off, and then the droid says there is another child. Maybe I was subconsciously giving George too much credit.

    I could have sworn he left earlier and didn't know. Well, another item to chuck on the pile of inconsistency. Obi-Wan had some serious dementia going.

    THAT is another Bad idea.

    I can't be the only one thinking that having Vader in this is a bad idea.

    I'd gotten my first real job as a computer programmer and met the woman I would be married to for the past 29 years.

    Just finished watching Visions and was not really impressed by any of them. The one with the Elder was the best of the bunch but even there a 15 to 20 minute run time is just not enough for anything truly interesting.

    Could have been worse, could have gone into HR...

    Plus he was already working for Jabba and knew the ins and outs. And lets face it, Jabba's other henchmen (especially those in the Special Edition Star Wars) made even OT Fett look like a pro.

    People take this stuff way too seriously.

    That Titan AE ship has been around a while. The Traveller RPG had something like it, Battletech also, and the counter art for GDW spaces games in general always had a ship like it.

    Unless they add in stuff from outside the book then there will not be any alien life forms other than the Worms.

    There was a time when doing two versions was actually fairly cost effective - the Lugosi Dracula was done this way when a Spanish language version was shot at night. Today, with green screen FX, it is pretty much the same as shooting two different movies anyway.

    And I seriously doubt 4K makes much sense after compression for sending the signal is taken into account.

    I'd like to see the animation updated but otherwise the exact same. Realistically they are not going to sink the money for that into the film. Otherwise I would not want to see it redone. The sequels are fine for a refreshed version of the story (since they basically all tell the same story).

    To be fair, to try and make an ornithopter look good with early eighties filmmaking techniques would have been insanely expensive or it would have looked like crap - and probably both. EDIT - Ack! forgot the reason I was going to post. Just read that the film took in 40 mil domestic. That is considered good news. I remember a time when that would be considered an absolute bomb. Not to bad mouth the film but to say that we should expect movie budgets to come down quite a bit for a few years.
