  1. With the exception of Arrivederci Yamato, that one holds up quite well. Final Yamato is pretty good too, though it has some screwball stuff in it and suffers from Japanese high drama with the death of Shima. The one special ending from one of the video release (I think, there were 3+ different endings if I remember correctly) was well worth it.
  2. > Remember the Red Dawn remake? I try my absolute darndest not to. The original was trash but like a Racoon I pick through it for the juicy morsels. the remake - there are no juicy morsels.
  3. He may not have been the "best" Bond but he was the perfect Bond for the seventies. RIP
  4. The problem is that the difference between yamato 2199 great and garbage is a very thin line.
  5. After seeing just a few minutes of that stink bomb D&D movie from 2000(ish) all I can see is another.
  6. It was good but not nearly as good as the first one. The middle of it REALLY dragged along. The opening fight scene was boring as well. When it got going at the end it made up for that however.
  7. Prometheus was so mind numbingly mediocre that the reviews and previews for this were going to have to be a LOT better for me to see it in the theater. I've only ever seen Aliens in the theater however, all the rest were video rental of one form or another.
  8. It has some problems but is worth watching, especially if you like Tom Hardy - he does an excellent job in it.
  9. Fathom Events in the US is having a Studio Ghibli fest this summer. My Neighbor Totoro is very soon, Nuasica (I can't spell it) in September, and a bunch of others. Awesome is all I can say.
  10. I'll have to watch that one!
  11. That three trilogies bit is Lucas mis-remembering. He had enough ideas for a trilogy at first but reality cut it down to a single movie and that was it - till it made bofo bucks. By the time Jedi came around it was down to a single trilogy with perhaps more when technology caught up to his "vision" (which does not match the original trilogy of trilogies very much at all).
  12. Connery was offered a role in the last one and did not want the job. He says he is retired and seems to be sticking to it.
  13. Star Wars tech has (kinda sorta) been in stagnation if not decline for decades - in the real world technological advance is going strong but for the most part our fighters are the same now as they were in the early eighties.
  14. More than a hint, Dave Filoni says at some point this is not the end of Star Wars animation. If he just means internet shorts that would be like saying a big New Jersey star is going to show up at a concert and Yoko Ono shows...
  15. Everyone probably already knows but the MST3K revival is now available on Netflix. I was not impressed with that first episode at all but the second one had me laughing a few times. Looking forward to watching the rest of it.
  16. I'll resurrect this dead thread to mention that all of B5 is available for streaming (free, no commercials) on some site I never heard of before. I checked the first episode and it works pretty well though it is widescreen and I thought that the SFX scenes were only done in 4:3 format even though the live action was shot in widescreen. So perhaps the SFX is being chopped off at the top and bottom. https://www.go90.com/shows/babylon5
  17. Just watched this on demand and it is a bad movie. Granted it is an Underworld film so being bad is to be expected but even for an Underworld film it is bad. It commits the cardinal sin of an action movie - it is boring, even the action scenes.
