And just like that, Phasma is an interesting character again.

This

is a weapon of terror. It’s made to intimidate the enemy.

This

is a weapon of war. It’s made to kill the enemy.

Not that it applies, but according to one source, an R2 unit is needed to both repair the ship and to plot hyperspace travel. A full fledged Jedi can plot their own hyperspace travel so if the X-wing was in good repair, he wouldn’t need an R2 unit in the back to fly the ship.

Sounds like someone’s ripping Dune off again. 😛

*shakes schtick in impotent rage*

So much more effective than the oversized floating billiards ball.

“This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass, Larry.”

I think Exorcist II is comparable with Star Trek V. Both have a great story, but the execution thereof isn’t so great. I can overlook the flaws of both films to appreciate their good qualities, but YMMV.

I just hate all the damn speculating. I wish Disney would give some kind of damn statement.

They already did. Kathleen Kennedy already said it’s not going to happen. Just a bunch of people who can’t take a hint and like to bury their heads in the sand.

I didn’t hear that, but heartbreaking as it is, it’s not surprising.

I just can’t see the OOT ever getting released on its own. As a 2nd disc feature, maybe.

IF the OOT was restored correctly, and I mean 100% correctly, […]

This will be an issue, if Disney is going to restore the OOT: What IS 100% correctly?

No matter how good, precise or accurate they could do it, there will be a certain amount of people who will shout out loud how wrong, imprecise or inaccurate their restoration is. They can’t please everyone because too much time has passed. Opinions on how the restoration should look & sound like are diverging day by day.

Exact same reasons why a PT reboot would never work.

I honestly don’t care if this is spoiled for me. Not sure why, but I don’t.

I don’t care either. The ST joins TCW in the realm of interesting but essentially inconsequential possible worlds which, to me, aren’t part of the “real” SW Universe.

I hope the next two sequels come out all right, but I have no real emotional investment in The Adventures of Rey Random to speak of, so I remain an apathetic sumbitch.

It’s a deliberate creative decision.

You’ve ranked way too many movies over Batman Returns.

Cameron’s too busy erasing Patrick’s doodle to concern himself with something so trivial.

I’d kinda like to see a Lovecraftian McGuffin in Indy 5.

Go to hell, you sons of bitches! I’m gonna fuck your asses until I’m dead!

I really liked the first book in A. C. Crispin’s Han Solo Trilogy. I wish the last two books lived up to it.

Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina is a crappier book than I remembered.

That’s my schtick you’re co-opting!

I want to…whine…about the fact that you did something other than originaltrilogy.com for 9 days and didn’t bother to tell us you were leaving. Based on your extensive posting, then you didn’t log in for several days, I was genuinely worried something had happened to you!

You were probably at GAP or something, trying on low-rise jeans!

Nah. The family pawned the laptop. Happens almost every month now.

Batman Returns.

I expected to like it less than I did. I guess the style and tragic romance made up for the stupid Penguin shit.

I don’t like low-rise jeans. I don’t like low-rise underwear. I don’t like lowriders.

Funny trailer, but I’m not convinced that James Franco can pull off the accent. In his defense, nobody could pull it off perfectly.

I’m convinced.

This is – and I say this with absolutely no hyperbole whatsoever – the best trailer to come out of the 21st century thus far.

Lol they obviously aren’t good but rating The exorcist II above the prequels is hilarious.

Sounds reasonable.

That said, I did underrate ROTS. I’ve bumped it up to 2/10.
