  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?).
  6. 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.
  7. That has changed due to Disney park price policies and how they ramp up for Halloween. It is less crowded the last week or so in August and the First week in September, except for Labor Day and the weekends of course.
  8. It is also the slowest time of the year right now. Late August Florida schools are back in session along with other states. It used to be called Jersey summer since New Jersey schools do not start till after Labor Day. Being from Jersey that is when we took our kids to the park. For the Star Cruiser the prices are totally insane, about what I expected. I will not be going to it anytime soon though.
  9. The $15 a day each is not a deal breaker for me. We just cancelled the Disney hotel and went with a nearby Marriott. Now to see if the number of rides and wait times are worth it. If not my Disney days may be done.
  10. I don't think I have ever owned a NERF gun, that will change.
  11. Maybe it is just the lighting (and I hate to give Enterprise the top nod in a Yamato thread) but the Enterprise is absolutely incredible (and all of them are great too).
  12. I had to go back through his movies and was expecting my answer to be "Hell No". He did direct Pearl Harbor and the romantic subplot in that was actually pretty good (and Kate Beckinsale) even though as anything approaching history it was a mess. So my answer goes to "I'd actually look at reviews before shooting it down".
  13. Looking forward to that one. Nice Retro look and seems like it will run smooth as glass on just about any system.
  14. I like plenty of crap but this is not that. Things that fall into that category include "The Green Slime", "The Black Hole", "Quark" and "The Uncle Floyd Show".
  15. Now I see where the "Executive Producer" bit is coming in. Zero Mostel would be proud!
  16. I liked him as Bond though the movies themselves were not that good - I think the same way about Brosnan as well however. Craig I agree with Seto, his Bond is not very movie Bond like - I've never read the books so have no way to compare with those.
  17. Craig's Bond (not HIM as such, but the character and universe) was a direct response to 9/11. Very quickly the old Bond was no longer considered viable. What with the Newspaper guy trying to take over the world shtick. So Bond had to be more "grounded" and "gritty". I think they missed a beat there, give the franchise another year or two off and the charming bit of silly would have been welcome again.
  18. After each episode of Loki (excellent) I'm watching one episode of "Monsters at Work". It is fun stuff so while it is on I'll watch it. Nothing to get excited about but a good way to waste 30 minutes.
  19. > A truffle hunter who lives alone in the Oregonian wilderness must return to his past in Portland in search of his beloved foraging pig after she is kidnapped. I can't tell if that is a joke or not. Who would have green lit that?
  20. "executive producer". Hollywood speak for somebody wanting an extra credit without having to do anything. (or if she actually WAS acting as a producer that is something that could easily be passed off to someone else leaving her no leverage to demand the contract be renegotiated).
  21. Did that delay announcement come before or after filming was done? After that and the actor has nothing to negotiate with - her part was already done. Failing to act in the film (if earlier) would have made her liable for breach of contract too.
  22. I don't know if it was terrible but it was certainly forgettable and mediocre. Putting it a step above the original. I don't know if I can ever bleach my brain of that grandpa wookie sleaze show bit.
