    Back to this movie (and others in general). The Imax release schedule is back to normal. I didn't get a chance to see it last weekend and this coming weekend another release is already bumping it out of theaters. Bummer!

    Mutineer's Moon is a fun read but nowhere near Hard Sci-Fi. Modern Pulp is more like it. (This is based on "Hard" sci-fi being mostly science with one or two well explained changes)

    More like the reality of most shows, across any medium, just are not going to be great. I have no interest in most of the Marvel stuff so can't comment on those but most of the D+ Star Wars shows have been worth watching, not all are great, many are so so and the Fett Vespa Gang was just plain terrible. On the whole however the channel is well worth as a source of pulpy SciFi that I like.

    Streaming shows not doing great? One not top notch season of Mandalorian and it is time to get out the old Eddie Murphy skit already?

    Crusade was just catching its stride when it was cancelled. I would have loved to see more of that. Hopefully it gets some attention in the animated movie. If someone from that show was mentioned as being in the movie already I did not notice it.

    The closest we have to updated B5 effects is from the direct to video "The Lost Tales". In at least one of them there is a very short (30 seconds or so) battle scene and it is great. Sadly the actual stories are Meh at best. The FX during the show improved a lot each season. Watch the first season renders of B5 in the credits versus season 5 to see how much they improved. Even so the detail would not look good in 4K.

    And of course this entire recent discussion started from pictures "from a failed attempt a few years back"...

    Have to say that trailer does absolutely zippo for me. It is B5 so I will still watch it. I watched Legend of the Rangers and still consider myself a fan so...

    I've never seen the 2nd move the entire way through (that opening song and dance number was excruciatingly painful so I turned it off) and what's her name's acting was painful too. Perhaps I suffer through it to see Short Round some more (caught a couple seconds of him driving, I think that was him). He would make a good character to bring back for the next film (or series, etc...)

    Not to knock this game in particular but I'm sure the "That was close" line will be said so often I'd be pulling my hair out before I'd played the game for an hour. Gameplay looks decent but the RPG like damage model (direct hit from a blaster and all the happens is a grunt) doesn't often work for me, with the exception of Mass Effect which seemed to make it work without feeling like a cheat.

    I've still not gotten round to finishing it, though I do think about doing so from time to time. Not exactly a ringing endorsement. On the other hand that puts it above the Pinocchio remake (by a mile) which I never got past a third of the way through (maybe) and never will.

    I never saw Raiders at the movies, it was actually the first move I ever watched on videotape (Betamax no less). Even though the home movie watching experience is now better then any theater experience (besides Imax) I may still go to the theater to watch it.
  13. Dynaman
    for the 23% thing. It wasn't that scene, if instead they had done it with one of the Book of Fett scenes (heck, practically the whole show)...

    Chalk that up to residuals. Disney is crunching the numbers on viewership and finding that is show is not pulling in enough eyeballs to justify the show staying on. It really should be residuals based on viewings but I'm guessing (just guessing) that there is no trust left for anyone to agree to the viewership figures for that to be possible.
  15. Dynaman
    Absolutely. It is an Imax movie or wait till it comes out on home video. Heck, once the Quest 3 comes out I might even just wait for everything. The Quest VR headset (and all the others) have a VR watching mode that makes it look just like an Imax movie theater (among other choices). The only problem is the headset is too heavy for me to watch a movie with - the Q3 is going to be half the size though.

    If they could only have gotten/kept that kind of a vibe throughout the DCVerse movies they would have been doing a lot better box office. I might actually go see this in Imax.
  17. Dynaman
    OK, they got me. That looks like it could be good.

    I'd heard she had been in bad health for a good while now. One of the music stars of my youth. RIP.

    The only Indy movie I did not like, AT ALL, was Temple of Doom. Crystal Skull wasn't great but I had a good time watching it. From the trailers I have seen this one looks like it will be a fun time as well.

    The 100 or so rooms is the killer, even trying to operate it as just a themed hotel will not work with so few rooms. Something they might be able to do is replace all of the cast intensive intensive parts of the hotel with animatronic or "holographic" projection items. That would allow charging a premium (not a premium like they were charging) while cutting operating cost. Have to see what they come up with, they might completely gut it or add another wing or two in order to increase capacity.

    I miss old style Indy type movies so I'm fine with it too. We will see if the setup to hand off the franchise backfires this time too. (I'm assuming Indy is not going to be recast but a son/daughter/student carries on the tradition)
  22. Dynaman
    I was a prime sucker, er customer, for that - till I saw the price (and the tacky preview video). Granted it was going to be a one and done type of stay. I'm hoping they do something to make a less expensive attraction out of it. A hotel with the theming but not the "entertainment" or "story" and which you can stay any number of nights would be interesting for the correct price. Considering the de-theming they are doing at their other hotels I figure they are going to chalk this up to "people don't want to pay a premium for theming anymore" instead of "way too expensive and tacky".

    My only question all these years has been "what is BEFORE midnight, or at least far enough after not to be AFTER"
  24. Dynaman
    That looks like it is worth going to the theater for. The first action scifi movie I have said that about in years.
  25. Dynaman
    I loved that post.
