Re: Official Star Wars Thread

Han dying was Ford's request and the only reason he’d come back at all, so it was always to be, the idea being that they’d reintro Luke and Leia and they would take the trilogy forward…but then they forgot to intro Luke, at least for any meaningful length of the film. :( If Luke had sensed Rey had a...

Re: YouTube Goodness

Liz Taylor as Leia! Boba Fett as, er, Boba Fett! ;)

Yes, I got caught in a rabbit hole of all these the other night. The BTTF ones are especially nightmarish. They really are all like "bad dream" versions. I can feel quite "uneasy" watching too much of this!

Re: DMC Exclusive Disney Blus

I know that feeling! ;) End of an era for sure. I never did get a chance to peruse the US version of DMC, as Rand always kindly let me see his account to look through. A bit crazy that you have to login to see their wares…you'd think having it "open" would entice more people to join up having seen t...

Re: YouTube Goodness

AI stuff really is loopy! It’s kind of its own look and thing at this point, but still loopy!

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Ha! We just lost that from 'Flix here. Not being a slave to the comics as much, I adored NWH as just a great film and nostalgically fun and well-made movie experience. You get around ten minutes of new stuff, half of which seems deleted for a reason (a school chatshow bit with Betty Brant, which dra...

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe

QUANTUMANIA ;)

That was the one neat thing they did in that whole movie.

Re: Ghostbusters — OFFICIAL THREAD

Rick Moranis actually proposed a Ghostbusters show back during the promotion of GBII, which he suggested would be on "NBC, Thursdays at nine!"; when asked if he thought there would be a third film, he thought the future of it was in television and that they had been talking about doing a show. Obvio...

Re: YouTube Goodness

Took me six seconds to wonder if this was AI and the Ryan Reynolds shot at 16s to confirm it. Very surreal looking.

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe

For me, post-Endgane, it finishes with No Way Home. It’s a total reset and a new start, meaning a satisfying end. You could argue similar for Guardians 3, but that was part-prequel too, which detracted from the sense of real closure. I don’t really think any of the MCUs after Endgame, outside of Spi...

Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe

I’m so not jazzed in any way shape or form for another FF at this point. In fact, I’m kind of all MCU'd out by now.

Re: Official Star Wars Thread

Fixed Skywalker for ya. ;) The problem wasn’t TFA, aside from not introing Luke until the last 30 seconds, it was the misdirection that Johnson took The Last Jedi in. If Rise was the endgame — and we now know there WAS no endgame — then seeds could and should have been sown there, but in the end the...

Only 1960's Jim Henson? What about the films he made after that, in the later 60s…? ;)

Re: Official Star Wars Thread

Yes, the sequel trilogy (soon to have a fourth?) was a totally squandered opportunity, not only in hindsight but as it was actually happening! :(
