  1. 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.
  2. Saw it this afternoon, decent movie - better than I expected. Now I want to watch all the GitS movies and TV shows. Although now I am really tempted to see what they would make of Ghost in the Shell: Innocence...
  3. Oh uh, I still have my old WEG Star Wars RPG, the Starfighters tactical game, and perhaps the source book (may have lost that one) and now you went and put a campaign idea in my head.
  4. Go one better - have a reunion of Doctors and Masters. New Who in a week or so.
  5. Who you ripping? Ya Hockey Puck... I'm generally loath insult humor but I loved his Mr. Potato Head voice and the persona he gave him. Going to be hard to replace him for the next Toy Story movie.
  6. You whippersnappers, on my old Atari 2600 you could take out an AT-AT with the blasters of a snowspeeder! Warning - link is for a youtube video of the game with all the glorious sounds an Atari 2600 could produce, and some goon talking strategy...
  7. Interesting but the basic assumption is incorrect. Rogue One was not a quickly put together and badly resourced operation - it was a bunch of hotheads deciding to do something on the spur of the moment. Almost like those old movies where the gang decides to put on a show but instead decides to take on the Empire. It would have worked MUCH better if the Rebel Alliance had not shown up too, they only closed the shield gate thingy when the rebel fleet showed up. Then again they never did explain all that well how far the transmitter could transmit if the gate was down.
  8. I recently tried to watch the miniseries and it was very bad and very dated. Turned it off after just a half hour or so. Long story short - I wholeheartedly agree.
  9. Granted, Obi-Wan has gotten better but Qui-Gon must have been a bleeping idiot...
  10. I can honestly say that I am bloody well VERY happy my childhood was not that interesting!
  11. Sorry, the bit that the little guy can doing something is OK but the big guy doing it is not - garbage. Something is either wrong or it is not.
  12. My opinion on the white washing bit, I don't give a rip when the Japanese remake something from the US/UK (RAN, I'm looking at you in particular) using Japanese actors.
  13. 154? That is roughly 153 more than I expected.
  14. I have Netflix so I'll be watching it. Not sure you can get the essence of it down to a single movie.
  15. I'm getting old but I have crossed over to the dark side - I would much rather have a digital only copy of a film or book these days. If 2202 came out on Netflix I would be very happy, happier to have it on Amazon or Comcast for purchase. If disks are all I can get then I will get them.
  16. Saw the trailer for this while watching Beauty and the Beast and I really don't know. Seems like they changed the whole vibe of it to a "you made me but can't control me" bit with the Major. Granted that was part of the original but never so heavy handed in execution as the Live Action ads seem to make it. I'm still going to see it in Imax.
  17. There is a long gap between flashy over the top fights and the blink and you'll miss it variety. As for Kenobi - I expected an episode with him in it would have more of him in it...
  18. The problem with the fight - and the Obi Wan bit - is how much they hyped it up, and it turned out to be pretty much nothing. The whole episode could easily have been skipped entirely.
  19. Also - the reason they "lost" US sales on 2199 was not due to it having been released with English subtitles on the Japanese discs - it was due to sub-pathetic marketing. The only people their marketing could possibly have reached are those who already knew about 2199 in the first place. Any of their fans from the Star Blazers days that do not keep up with anime would have no way of knowing that 2199 exists. I loaned out my discs to a couple of friend's who fall into that category, would never have bought 2199 direct from Japan but would have bought SB2199 if they had known about it.
  20. Went to see it in IMAX 2D today. Those who liked the original are most likely going to like this one. A couple of minor additions to the story along with a couple of minor changes. Belle's mother is discussed as well as the Beast's family - those are good additions since they add some backstory and give motivation to some actions. The only clunker for us was the Beast had a new song in this version and it wasn't all that good. Not to end on a bad note, the show is good entertainment and the imagery is outstanding.
