The Galactic Senate

What do we think from here? Is that the end for Kenobi and Vader in live action series? Or will they find a way to continue? You might have seen some of the info going around recently that this started out as a movie and that the writer had a trilogy in mind. From what he said, they used his work f...

I've watched each one and enjoyed them, but I feel that watching each episode is like watching a movie of which you've already seen the end of. As you watch the beginning and middle of the film you're feeling anxiety, hesitation, or trouble accepting it, because you don't see how what you're watchi...

Who got to watching it over the weekend? Initial impressions? I thought the first episode was okay, not great. I much preferred the second episode and especially loved the ending. Over both episodes, they don't seem to have a clear sense of what tone they're going for. But, enjoying it so far and a...

Last movie watched was ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE!!!!!!!!

I've been waiting for this one for a quite a while. I'll have to get some detailed thoughts in when I have a chance.

Does that come across just from the movie itself, or has Keanu spoken about it in interviews? I still have to see this.

Bill & Ted Face the Music - B- Nice, sweet film. Watched it with my family, and we all enjoyed it. But it made us talk about the first two films more. But not sure I will watch it again. I haven't seen it yet, but watching the trailer, I was worried Keanu Reeves hadn't settled into the characte...

Hell, yes! It's not got a lot to do with Bram Stoker's novel, few Dracula adaptations do, aside from some names (and the Vampire Count named Dracula), but it's a Good Flick. A movie getting designated Good Flick by you is a pretty rare and well-earned thing... color me excited. :) The last film I w...

Particulars: 1967 Hammer films, color, 97 minues; written by Nigel Kneale. Directed by Roy Ward Baker. Starring Andrew Keir, James Donald, Barbara Shelley and Julian Glover. Hey LT, speaking of Hammer films. I'm recording "Horror of Dracula" (1958) with Christopher Lee with the plan to wa...

Still waiting until I can be relatively sure there are no Killer Corona Cooties on my copy of The Rise of Skywalker before I try that one one. LT, I know you've have to watch it, but... I'd have a guilty conscience if I encouraged you to watch TROS. To make sure you don't get cooties, I'd say burn ...

It can really pay off. And, as I recall, you've yet to see some top notch, even classics, of the '30s - '40s era, and even some of the cool SF films from the '50s. Yeah, I've leaned more towards "modern" movies, newer stuff. I think you're probably right. Still, strangely enough, over the...

The War of the Worlds , 1953, Paramount Pictures, color, 85 minutes. Directed by Byron Haskins, produced by George Pal, starring Gene Barry and Ann Robinson. A much better film than I remembered. And a relief from current headlines, although...I was once familiar with some of the locations mentione...

Not to diminish your review or enjoyment of that film, Mags, but I have simply lost all interest in those films. The first Jurassic Park was fantastic, the second one was good, the third one was okay, but I didn't even sit through all of the first Jurassic World film and had no interest in any more...

Never mind for now that Rian Johnson wrote a bad SW and ruined that movie for many of us. THIS was a good movie. Yes, I liked "Knives Out" a lot. Most recent I saw was "Underwater." Boring, derivative stuff. Like an underwater "Alien," sorta, but worse in every way. Be...

Rise of Skywalker made me despise The Last Jedi so much more than I already did, mostly because Disney wasted an entire movie on a nonsense plot and sub-par character "development," rather than using the middle movie to create more conflict and tension, and make people care about the tril...

I've never been a fan of Kylo Ren (Driver is a decent actor but can't pass of as a child of Han and Leia) but his character regresses in TROS to the point where we first met him in TFA. I liked Driver a lot from a performance standpoint. I haven't thought or cared too much about how he looks versus...

I agree their goal is well-stated, but I guess I didn't explain myself very well before. Basically, who is the First Order and how are they so powerful if the Republic replaced the Empire? Are they remnants of the Empire or a new thing or...? My issue is that I think these are questions we need ans...

So how have Marvel/Disney managed to get everything right with their huge number of movies; but Disney could not get their ducks in a row for Star Wars? What was missing from this picture? Did they have the wrong people in the wrong positions? It would seem so, MS, yeah...that they did have the wro...

Including the "A Star Wars Story" movies 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. Rogue One 3. Revenge of the Sith 4. A New Hope 5. Attack of the Clones 6. Return of the Jedi 7. The Force Awakens 8. The Phantom Menace 9. Solo 10. The Last Jedi I'll go: 1. Revenge of the Sith 2. Rogue One 3. Attack o...

With the supposed leaks, the emptiness of a movie that was The Last Jedi is really tangible. If the leaks are accurate, it introduces a whole bunch of stuff that should've been at least hinted at earlier and not come out of the blue in the last movie. This is what happens when there's no plan and t...

I never watched GOT (always wanted to) but the discontent is tangible! What else has D&D done? They done some other things, but not much. It's pretty much GoT that got them SW. I am a bit nervous about that. If anything, I'd think a SW TV show would have make sense since they've been showrunner...

Yes, sadly it has gotten truly awful. I'm glad that I didn't watch the series over eight years (I watched seasons 1-7 December '18 to January). Me too, I guess. Though I'm almost regretful I wasted my time, regardless of how I watched it. It's been a heavy show, so I've taken breaks (often of a few...

Potential Spoilers ahead.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1sXi-sCMc8 Thanks. I can see this being true. If it is, my disappointment would be that McDiarmid would have very limited screentime in the movie. I'd rather see him as Sidious, than someone else. But, I do like the idea of a villain who...

Episode 5 of Game of Throne's final season. Whoo, boy. Its been worse with every episode. Not thrilled. Characters being moved around a chess board by writers who don't seem to know how to play chess. A clear sense of thinking from the end and just moving the characters there without much considerat...

Any links you guys have to these supposed leaks?

I prefer an episodic structure before an arc one, just as long as previous events aren't "forgotten". A few episodes are weak, but overall I like the show. I first saw it when it aired on Swedish public service which only aired seasons 1-2 between May 2003 and August 2004 (they had previo...

I'm currently rewatching Star Trek: Enterprise on Netflix. Somewhat flawed, but still an enormously much better Star Trek show than Discovery. I need to give it a watch from beginning to end. When it was on TV, I watched the first few episodes of season 1, then stopped, finding it to be more of the...

I'm right on the same page! Exactly how large a role McDiarmid will have as the Emperor remains to be seen. I do believe he serves the same role as he has been previously, that of being the one pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Agreed. It may not necessarily be a lot of screen time, but t...

At the Episode IX panel, they clearly framed IX as the conclusion to the Skywalker saga. And Palpatine is the big bad of this Saga. A reveal like this, in that context, wouldn’t be done without a significant role for him. He’s alive. I believe that firmly. Whether he survived the fall, extended his ...

Blizz please tell us about The Mandalorian footage!!! What we saw looked movie quality. Very physical, tangible, tactile feel to it. Action looks very well filmed, clear, dynamic. I think the combination of Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and the other directors involved is going to mean big things and h...

I have nitpickers guides, reference books, and a considerable store direct observation against which to measure every move they make. :laugh: But, more often then not, it's done with pleasure. Some things they do drive me nuts--when it flows from or produces bad writing or other bad product, most o...
