    Bruce Lee was a "presence". A show about him but without him just isn't going to cut it.

    Amazon streaming is a disaster when it comes to finding content. I own "Scrooge" with Albert Finney. When I looked it up two years back it only "found" one that I had not purchased with a very similar name (same movie, they just released it again with a slightly different title). So I bought it a second time under the new title (thinking I may have mis-remembered buying it there). The same BS has occurred with other titles but now I know I bought them, the problem is finding them through their purposely obtuse search function. Disney+ at least I can find what I am looking for.

    We had cable from nearly as far back as I can remember when cable was channels 2-13, 2 was public access if anything at all (usually nothing but community notes) and 13 was always fuzz (wonder why it was even there but no internet back in the day to look it up). No till HBO was any of it ad free.

    Don't think the taking content off the site is STRICTLY about non-performing titles. I'm wondering how long it will be till titles are shuffled on and off the services on a rotating basis. Till then I am thinking more and more of rotating through services throughout the year.

    I doubt Dan knows though, he has not been on in those 18 years according to the user page. On the other hand a mention for Forbidden Planet never goes out of date (at least so far)

    The best quote I heard about him, about Pee Wee really, was something like "he was completely wholesome, and completely subversive". I think that summed it up perfectly. RIP and thanks for the laughs! Tell Large Marge hello for me.

    It is hard to work up much enthusiasm when all you can actually see is a director making stupid faces... As for the Choppy, choppy as in apparently running 60fps but only animating 20fps and messing up the tweening at that.

    Was the Kaiju movement really choppy for anyone else (other shots seemed fine). I forgot he could breath fire too.

    When I think "Tron" Bruce's character does not register at all. It is the overall look and feel that matters. I'd say that probably covers a lot of people but Tron is still a niche property.

    Those ships break the rule of cool though, they are lame...
  11. Dynaman
    The thing I don't like about the ship (and the other vertical ones like it - only one coming to mind was Spock's ship from Star Trek 2009 but I know there are other SW examples) are that they make no sense. Why design something that has to go through such shenanigans to land when it gives no benefit?

    I've been in computer programming for decades now, every few years a new "coderless" scheme comes along and it never works. The reason is that a coder does not just write code, a coder (if they are worth anything) knows how to figure out exactly what needs to be asked to get the solution the client wants. The same is true for this technology, so far it has rendered very nice adaptations of things people have already done but nothing new.

    We bought it on one of the streaming services. Not bad but they did drag the plot through too much run time.

    TV and movies will not be going away anytime soon, the distribution method may (almost certainly will) change however. Eventually the new way of doing so profitably (enough) will come along. Just like it did with the music industry a couple decades ago.

    That Snakedance snake was Dr. Who lack of budget at its worst. That thing was pathetic and not even in the charming pathetic way many Dr. Who FX are done.

    Leaving Ms Marvel and She Hulk out since I didn't even watch them and may never do so - which in and of itself may be an indicator of the problem Disney is facing (and not because *I* in particular didn't watch them), the other shows were all at least decent and to expect more from every (or even most) of the shows is expecting far too much. That is the gist of the problem, too little new content and people will unsubscribe due to not having a beneficial cost/ratio while too much content may keep people subscribed but it costs too much to make all that for just a streaming release.

    That world between worlds thing (and the ability to "time travel" in it is one of the worst things the show added. That kind of thing has to be done VERY carefully or it ruins everything. In Rebels it was kind of added and forgotten about too. Plus it was near the end of the Rebels run so no time to really have the implications of it play out.

    Can we change the title to Orguss WAS back? That will keep me from getting too excited every time this comes back from the dead.
  19. Dynaman
    What Disney really found out is that the streaming market is not going to support all the high cost content they were churning out. The streaming market is oversaturated.

    So far it appears they have different costumes for each episode, which works fine for me since this particular doc seems to have some fine fashion sense.
  21. Dynaman
    Nope. My wife and I have zippo knowledge of the Expanded universe and love The Mandalorian (Bobba Fett's show not so much).
  22. Dynaman
    The reason replacing leads with younger cast was not a thing was mainly due to the sequel Box Office becoming a thing in the eighties (Superhero franchises being more recent) so the stars from those movies are just now getting too old to continue in the part. So studios have the choice of recasting (which doesn't work), passing the torch (which also doesn't work), or coming up with new stuff (which is currently unthinkable). Note - all three options have exceptions.

    The point was that when it was a male character (Mutt) taking over nobody felt obliged to specifically mention it was a male character that bombed.
  24. Dynaman
    Would it be acceptable for the million times/franchises in the past where a male character tried to take over and failed?

    Considering the next Mission Impossible movie is out next weekend the take for Indy is probably not going to be helped along much. I may not end up watching the movie at the theater simply due to length, the old bladder can't handle nearly 3 hour movies without a break any longer.
