Re: MOVIES: Indiana Jones

3 has been my favorite for a while, but it has been a loooooong time since I've seen the original. Also, hardly remember the second. I should probably rewatch the series at some point. The third film has some good moments. Connery and Ford work well off each other. That makes it tolerable. The film...

Re: MOVIES: Indiana Jones

Yay. Considering the only good one was the first one, and the only other tolerable one was the third one (saved, barely, by Sean Connery as Henry Sr.), and the second and fourth ones stank on ice, I'm not thinking the chances of #5 being very good are...very good.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Seriously? Pretty sure, yeah. I forget where I read it but it's supposed to be like a poncho as opposed to cape. Fascinating. I'm going to have to do a little digging on this. That thing just looked like a frillier version of the cape in all the other scenes, not very effective as a poncho.

What do we want? I can speak only for myself, but, it would drastically increase my confidence in the Mickey Mouse Club if they

1) Apologized for making a hash of The Force Awakens

2) Apologized for making Rogue One

3) Decanonizing Jar Jar Binks would be welcome, as well.

Re: Last Television Show Watched

That said, I'm not having as much fun with it as I did in the earlier seasons, for reasons I won't go into in details about since you're not caught up. Suffice it to say that I think they're having having some trouble because of the constraints production places on the story. I think you're right. ...

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

I took a look at a few spots in the film yesterday, probably a good twenty minutes of it. A few observations: 1) it was not as bad as I thought it was initially. It still wasn't good, and, since I was buzzing past the boring spots, that may have had a significant effect on my perception. That said, ...
