The text of the books has never been changed, it’s just one of those things that some fans believe ought to happen, so it comes up every so often, or they ask Hidalgo about it. “New novelizations to better fit the blah blah continuity blah blah consistent with blah”

It would be funny if they added text like “Luke stopped his land speeder and then a huge dinosaur-like creature appeared and moved slowly past him”.

Written in glittery crayon, no less.

I’m immediately interested in knowing what becomes of Luke’s students, so I have to say its a pretty good prologue.

I hated Godzilla '14, but I’ve give it a chance for Mil.

I hate weekends as much as everyone else hates Mondays.

Maybe by “Christians”, Trump really means “WASP Christians who were American to begin with”?

I haven’t said it, but I’ve thought it.

Now there’s (more than) two of them.

I hate weekends as much as everyone else hates Mondays.

They don’t have transporter technology 'cause the Spacing Guild won’t let 'em have it.

That’s my headcanon, at any rate.

“The HoeflerText font wasn’t found” adware is a fucking whore.

Angst is not respectable, nor does it make you look cool.

Not fan of grunge, I take it.

Spring is a radiant beauty with sparkling emerald eyes and flowing chartreuse hair who wears a diaphanous gown of viridian, and I cannot wait to have her in my arms again.

And yet you continue to necessarily bring up TFA kvetching. Stop trolling please.

Suddenly this thread is the worst thread.

Proof positive that Nolan ruins everything.

Wasn’t there an alteration made to Jedi’s novelization at some point? They removed a reference to Owen being Obi-Wan’s brother. I’d be curious to know which edition was the first to feature this change.

I’ve heard this quite often, but no one’s actually presented evidence that this is the case. Wookieepedia doesn’t mention any changes made to the novelization.

I’ll take “The Prequels Suck” for $600, Alex.

I don’t think pictures of Ralph Brown and Ric are the same.

Don’t you know Ralph Brown is a character played by Ric?

This thread is starting to invert my brain.

Here’s Spuffy’s favourite movie:

He’s also quite partial to the TV spinoff.

Y’know which movie he really can’t stand, though?

FTFM

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2001) – ★★★1/2

I think it was lacking somewhat in comparison to the series that preceded it. The amazing music as present in the series was used much more sparsely here, most of the music present being pop/rock songs without the hyper-active jazz feel.

The plot seemed like it was trying too hard to be bigger and grander for a feature film presentation, but it felt very weird in the context of the series, though I’m glad it was all explained properly by the end of it.

The animation and cinematography was just as, if not more fantastic than in the series.

A great watch, over all.

You gave an anime a much higher rating than Toy Story 2.

Carnosaur (1993)

This movie is the anti-Jurassic Park. Whereas Jurassic Park had innovative special effects, strong direction, great characters, damn good acting, and leaves the viewer in awe of the majesty of dinosaurs and nature herself, Carnosaur has effects which would’ve been laughable in the '70s, direction on auto pilot, paper-thin characters, tepid-to-poor acting, and leaves the viewer wanting to nuke the Earth just to cleanse the universe of the species which made this movie.

2/10

I’d hate to see what sort of cinematic abomination would make you give a movie 1/10.

If Jennifer Runyon hadn’t been in this movie, I would’ve given it 1/10.

Though if you are curious which movies I have thus far given 1/10:

• Blood of Dracula’s Castle (1969)
• Creepin’ (2001)
• Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam’in Oglu AKA Son of the Man Who Saves the World AKA Turks in Space (2006)
• Evil Dead (2013)
• The Humanoid (1979)
• Inseminoid (1981)
• Mirrors (2008)
• Night Train to Mundo Fine AKA Red Zone Cuba (1966)

Evil Dead did suck, but I think 1/10 is pushing it. I liked the effects and the camerawork at least. Also the set design was on point.

I couldn’t look past how bereft of fun, creativity, and meaning the reboot was to appreciate any of that.
