APOLLO 11 (2019)

WOW! This is a MUST SEE. Saw this up on a full size IMAX screen. It was glorious. I feel like I was there on launch day. The quality of the film was spectacular so clean and crisp. Almost like it was shot yesterday. I believe it’s only playing until Thursday, if you can GO NOW!

Ho. Lee. Shit.

Visually stunning and suspenseful. You think you’ve seen all there is about Apollo 11, but you haven’t. See it tomorrow before the IMAX engagement ends!!!

I’ll be at the Galaxy’s Edge theme park soaking in all the Star Wars I can, seeing Episode IX multiple times in Dolby, and enjoying my Disney+ subscription. Life is short, I am going to enjoy what I enjoy.

Feel free to do that. But try to at least retain some class consciousness and remember what Disney is.

Marxism on a Star Wars board. Seriously?

Of course this was only one Google-image search away. I love the Internet.

Speaking of ownership of studios, I recently got the Blu of Sleeper. The UA Transamerica logo sequence is amazing! A shame it hasn’t been retained on other home video releases, especially 007.

A little research revealed that MGM is contractually obligated to remove any references to Transamerica on all prints per the terms of the sale way back when. It’s only been retained on Sleeper and perhaps a few others because exception was made when the logo is part of the film (in the case of Sleeper, the score begins to play over the logo).

You’d think all this time later, Transamerica would be over any negative association with UA, and they could work something out… but I doubt anyone at MGM cares enough about opening logos to bother.

Rian Johnson to Head New Star Wars Trilogy
Time

I really want to know what it was that LucasFilm saw in Rian Johnson that made them believe he could do this. He has good story ideas, sometimes(they’re kind of hit or miss). But I find his execution style to be all wrong. He’ll come up with an amazing idea, but then play it off a certain way in the film that destroys it. He’s not a great story teller that respects mythology and cultural impact. He’s more of a conventional film maker, with quirks. That’s not enough really to helm a Star Wars trilogy.

Have you even looked at the TLJ box office numbers? Just because you’re didn’t like the movie doesn’t mean his work has no appeal for others.
