    And "Cowboys vs Aliens" in case you have forgotten - which most have. (except those looking to see what kind of box office to expect with him NOT in a Bond picture)

    Oh man, that was bad. I mean really terrible. Wasn't Dr. No in Jamaica too? Or parts of it.

    Luckily I have forgotten most of it. Still seeing the Psychologist for the rest...

    Yes. The Jingoistic nonsense of the sequels was annoying. The first film, though flawed, was thought provoking. The last film (before this one) was better then the 2nd and 3rd by a long shot though.

    They Matrix tried to be deep but ended up very shallow. The first one had mind blowing special FX and didn't take the dime store philosophy mumbo jumbo too far. The 2nd and 3rd THOUGHT they had something profound to say, and well, they didn't

    Just about all of it.

    There really were very few "filler" episodes in B5. The ones that appeared to be filler were always setting up something for later. The problem is you had to get to later to appreciate them. The acting was very wooden (sadly we now know why and Michael O'Hare probably deserves an Oscar in retrospect) and the pacing was off in that first season as well and "The Gathering" was a case where all the exciting stuff happened off screen.

    That's kinda like saying Carrie Fischer was unknown till Star Wars came out. Both were cultural touchstone movies that made stars out of their actors. Just in the case of Easy Rider there was no chance of a sequel. (and it was just pretty much unheard of except in the case of low budget movie serials of low worth till Star Wars and the blockbuster era).

    Now for the Amazon video to become available. I've made the jump to no more physical media. And I don't want to just "rent" the right to watch it on Funimation without the ability to download.

    I won't be seeing it either way. I'm not signing up for another streaming service.

    I've heard plenty say they DON'T want a Kenobi movie. Watching him pound sand on Tattoine is exactly a thrill ride.

    People thought that about a movie about Han Solo too.

    Wait? Ending already. Has there been any of the interpersonal relationships Macross was famous for in the comic? If so it must have been one or two panels between toothy grins.

    > no amount of 'splaining is going to excuse the fact that Spock watched his homeworld dissolve into a black hole with his naked eyes, from a moon in orbit of that same planet. I always thought that was a different solar system - which brings up a whole nother can of worms...

    That is still up in the air. Was Solo a one off problem or does it hint at a systemic problem caused by how bad episode 8 was? Is the low crowd size at Galaxy's Edge caused by the normal crowds at Disney and a price increase designed to bring crowds down (personally I don't buy that for a minute, crowd control is one thing but historically thin crowds when a major new attraction opens is not what Disney was expecting) or is it also something systemic brought on by episode 8? It is not impossible for Episode 9 to under perform badly, not bomb as such but not be the runaway blockbuster Disney is hoping for.

    What they are missing is somone to ride herd on the directors - this isn't the place for someone to do their own thing each movie, they have to learn to work within a very strict set of guidelines - like you have to do with TV shows that have a season arc.

    Hey now! That bit about Han showing up at just the right time and place is one of the more logical things in the latest movies... I kinda, halfway, remember some throwaway dialog to "explain" it and just went along for the ride.
  18. Dynaman
    True - but the story as directed wasn't well done and well "NNNNNoooooo"..... Takes a LOT of ineptitude to make Vader such a wimp. Darth Millennial was always a wimp so no problems for them messing him up.

    Checking the Box Office for the weekend I see the film took in 17 mil with a budget of 49 mil. In the olden days that would be considered a bomb. Since Foreign figures are not released yet it might still be considered a modest success or at least break even. (not in regards to paying royalties though...)

    He could have just taken a communications device and a couple spare batteries...

    My feeling at the end of RotJ was "that was really mediocre". I'm fairly certain I'll have the same feeling at the end of RoS. On the plus side that would put it a step up from TLJ where ESB was the pinnacle of the franchise.
  22. Dynaman
    Maybe it won't even be a rental after all.

    The article severely brushes over the problems with newer Macross shows getting here.

    > "Gurren Lagann" - see, I can be down with you younglings too! The mecha show that gradually turns everything up to "11", and then KEEPS FINDING BIGGER DIALS. Not my top anime but darn close. You gotta hand it to a show that starts with a kid digging tunnels with a teeny weeny corkscrew thing managing to end where it did and doing so with style.

    The only Managa I have read are parts of Vampire Hunter D and Akira. Of those I liked Akira the most. The art style was more of what I like. D's artwork was very busy, intricate might be a more appropriate word but I don't like it myself. Anime - Valley of the Wind. Still stunning after all these years.
