If only it was real.

Ah, Bizarro Ric … One of my finest creations. Too bad I didn’t make him a sock back when sock accounts were still tolerated.

I don’t see why blinking Greedo and inserting shots from the Battle of Endor into the battle of Yavin and awkwardly shoehorning in a Jar Jar death scene are seen as somehow not as dumb.

That scene wasn’t in the version I watched.

10/10 for incredibly mature and witty humour.

Bizarro logic am make plenty of nonsense.

The premiere of Ash Vs. Evil Dead was pretty damn good. Not as good as the original two films, of course, but better than Army Of Darkness.

Different voice tone, and Mask, and Chest plate for that matter… Only thing worth keeping consistent is the tint of Vader’s eyes. Almost impossible to fix the other stuff…

But why try to “fix” any of it? So his suit changes between films. It doesn’t break continuity for Vader to get upgrades.

Just the red eyes in IV and in Rebels. If you look at at the movies from a trilogy point of view, there is a continuity irritation with some fans. If you just Watched Star Wars IV and never saw the other ones, well then there are no issues.

I wonder how many people even noticed – let alone complained about – Vader’s red eyes back in the good ol’ days. Seems like something most people only took notice of after the popularization of the Internet.

Oh I’m very pro-“Live and Let Die”. I like most of his 70s output well enough, it’s the 80s when things go off the rails for me.

I take it you’re not fond of “Coming Up”, then. ;-P

^That goes without saying.

I wouldn’t mind being scared to death by a ghost. It’d mean there’s life after death, so I wouldn’t have anything left to be afraid of.

We follow standard imperial procedure for infiltrating potentially hostile planets.

1. First we send in the real nerds, the Forlorn hope, in a scouting mission.
2. If they do not come back, we can assume they all fell asleep and the movie is awful
3. If they do come back, we read and listen to their reports.
4. If it is good, we go in full force.
5. If it is bad, we spend the next twenty years sniping at George Lucas and J.J. Abrams from the rooftops and the forums.

I’d rather nuke first and ask questions later.

I think that decision is Corporal Hicks’. Since, you know, this is a Military operation.

Pfft. Enlisted men can’t make decisions of that magnitude.

Ah, yes, the shortening of the days; how I loathe it myself. Stupid, pointless daylight savings time certainly doesn’t make it any more tolerable.

FWIW, ending the N-word with “a” instead of “er” renders it non-racist. That’s what I’ve been led to believe, anyhow. Don’t ask me to explain it; none of this arbitrary bullshit makes any sense to me.

You have my permission to lock this thread, but first:

Against my better judgement, I decided to watch the pilot episode of Heroes Reborn last night.

I didn’t realize teal & orange colour grading had made its way into television.

Ugh.

I don’t want to continue watching what is bound to be another awful series, but it has a strong train wreck factor working for it – I find it hard to look away.

To provide a conclusion to this, I’ll just say I forced myself to continue watching, and seven episodes in, there’s nothing there worth the effort; it’s just like post-Season 1 Heroes: lame, uninspired, poorly written, with cyphers for characters I don’t care a damn about.

I gave this series a chance it didn’t deserve, and it squandered it. I won’t be watching next week’s episode or any of the remaining episodes after it.

My rating: D

“Be vewy, vewy quiet. I’m hunting wascally Jedi.”

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) – A+

Candyman (1992) – B

The Ladykillers (1955) – C+

Phantasm (1979) – A-

Phantasm II (1988) – B-

Toy Story of Terror (2013) – B

Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994) – C+

Phantasm IV: Oblivion (1998) – C

True Grit (1969) – B+

Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001) – F

I wish somebody’d release the original 210-minute cut of this film. The story sounds good, and I’d like to see the movie, but I’m not interested in watching a horrible cut that has most of the plot butchered out.

^WRONG TO!

The fact that “Attack of the Clones” has a “fresh” consensus at rotten tomatoes just baffles the hell out of me.

The Reptilians are in near-total control. It’s only a matter of time before Tommy Wiseau is elected president of the One World Government, and then the shit will really hit the fan.

Tsk tsk. Now I know why he calls himself dark_jedi; he was too impatient to follow the light side.

But will he stay? That’s the $3 question.

It is now.

I wanna see Hayden Christensen in Episode 8, cause it makes sense for him to be in it.

No it doesn’t.
