  1. Could well be but in that case they would have most likely at least gave him a call asking how much he would do the movie for. To flat out write him off without even asking is odd but not unheard of.
  2. To sum up. Whatever takes too much energy, makes obvious what you are going to do, and puts you off balance when done.
  3. Except the Matrix, unlike Star Wars, had one good movie and two sequels that were Dreck. The trailer for this one at least appears to have some promise.
  4. Lets throw in 1918, the Black Death...
  5. Even so the Federation appears to follow the western world rule that offspring are not guilty for the crimes of parents.
  6. Looking forward to it. Hopefully one of their better ones.
  7. But you can't watch that without also watching "The Grove Tube" It's like Abbot without Costello, Ernie without Bert, or Beevus without Butthead...
  8. Star Wars. No other movie has come close to shaping my interests. I hated scifi before that.
  9. Not a movie I plan on seeing but a Seventy Five Million domestic opening weekend is nothing to sneeze at. A very good indicator for future movies.
  10. Dune is a product of it's drug culture (and counter culture) time. I found it middling at best but a decent read.
  11. I give him real credit for that. If you were to describe the physical features of the nasty villain type Clarence Bodicker is NOT it. Then Kurtwood Smith pulls it off and becomes one of the classic villains of all time.
  12. I don't assign any blame to Craig. After 9/11 the studio didn't think the old Bond formula would work any longer and they deliberately changed the character. Even at the time I thought that was a mistake and after 20 years the studio may be thinking it is time to bring more of the old formula back as well.
  13. Somewhere around where you jumped ship things start going back to basics. It ends with a strong focus on the core set of characters from the first books.
  14. I remember PG-13 as being a way to rate some things that otherwise would have been rated R. The real difference is what we consider PG now is not what we consider PG then. And not to forget that PG stands for Parental Guidance which means parents have to make a call for their kids.
  15. Maybe I'll watch it when it gets to HBO but even that is iffy. I'll not even say decent, dreck is the term I would use.
  16. I can't remember enough of the early books to know how faithful it is to the story. Things do gain complexity throughout the series though and the first three are a good bit different from the later books.
  17. Seeing that trailer reminded me exactly what I don't really think of Craig's Bond as Bond. He looks like a street tough in a suit. All the other Bonds looked like dangerous upper crust types in a suit. Trailer looks good though.
  18. It is a tossup who is my favorite screen Santa, his or Edmund Gwenn from Miracle on 34th street (the original). Rest in Peace and thanks for the excellent characters.
  19. Then again, if you have Netflix and are interested it is "free". Worst you can do is decide you don't like it and turn it off.
  20. Considering what Ein is capable of in the Anime it might have been best to have computer animated him, he doesn't act like a normal dog most of the time. (I don't remember is Ein male or female?).
  21. They always sound confident till the box office receipts come in. I'm hoping he does get the chance to do the second two though.
