While I like that Splinter of the Mind's Eye and the original Marvel comics are placed in their own separate timelines apart from the main EU, I do find it irksome that there's only one EU timeline and no timelines for the different versions of the OT.

 Maybe it would be fine to draw a thread from the PT to the SE-T, but it's completely offensive not to have the OOT set off with no connection to the PT, since there is no continuity between the PT and the OOT.

Also is "Clone Wars Multimedia Project" a reference to the Cartoon Network shorts?

I like how it takes into account 7, 8, & 9, but stubbornly refuses to just make the entire thing a straight line with only the Disney canon.

The guy who created it admits on his blog that he isn't happy with the decanonization of the EU. Obviously, in his mind, the EU timeline is the primary SW Universe with the Disney canon being a divergent reality.

I recently purchased a Samsung PN64H5000 to get a Plasma when they were on their way out. I calibrated it in "movie" mode with settings I found online, which surprisingly look very good (Now I have to find settings for other TVs, and Google isn't bringing it up first thing ;)), though I'd rather have had the Panasonic, but I waited too long. Reviews for this set seem to be solid, I'm hoping the purchase was worth the month's pay and I didn't succumb to "bigger is better." I have it connected to my U-Verse Motorola DVR and a region-free modded Sony BDP S3100 Blu-ray player (Which is turning out to be a purchase I am very much regretting-Sony's customer service is turning out to be terrible, apparently they have no plans to update it to include the HBO Go app, the CinemaNow app which was listed on the box was not included, and now the Amazon app doesn't work. But I digress.) which I bought from Bombay Electronics (Who have now twice had to send me updates to restore region-free functionality which they said would be permanent.) via HDMI. Hopefully it was a worthwhile purchase, I'm beginning to grow skeptical, and it was a month's pay. HDTV looks good (I'm running 1080/60i) and Blu-rays look good, and now that my WiFi is boosted up a bit (only 15) I can get decent HD content. However, to put it bluntly, DVDs look like shit. Instead of scaling up to 60p, the new set apparently scales up to 24p, but whereas my others sets (32 and 40 inches) look decent when upscaling, this once simply makes everything looks like there's so much noise dot crawl that frankly, it's difficult to watch. I get that the set itself is bigger, and that if it's more high-tech it will display more flaws, but is there anything in the settings I can change to mitigate this a little bit? I also understand that it's partially down to the mastering of the disc itself, but I have put in some discs with pretty good AV reviews-the Raiders of the Lost Ark disc, for instance which was reference quality back when it came out-and some of it is still pretty difficult to watch. Is there anything I can do in the settings? My bedroom is small, so I can't get very far away from the set-I'm about 18 feet or so at the moment, and since I'm not technically in the center of the room, I just use the SRS in the set, which is a little wonky. Anyhow, are there any settings I can adjust to make this a little bit more palatable to the eyes?

You can rest easy with the knowledge that that isn't one of the Burton films I've seen.

Ugh, get that carp outta my thread.

You love it, you lair. Don't even try to deny it. 

The powers-that-be have made it clear that while the EU itself is no longer canon, it's possible that people/places/things from the EU may find their way into the new continuity over time.

Also, if The Force Unleashed counts as EU then I hate that too, mostly because I'm carp at games and found it difficult.

Oh, it does, believe me -- it does.

Heavy Metal (1981)

For the quality of the animation and the "B-17" story, I rate this 7/10. Lord knows nothing else from the film warrants such a rating -- especially not that dumbshit story with the aliens snorting space coke.

Frankenweenie (1984) - 6.5/10

Frankenweenie (2012)

It's funny. While I dislike or am indifferent to most of Burton's live-action films -- Batman '89 being the only real exception, and even it has serious issues -- I've found his stop-motion films enjoyable. I don't know why that is -- perhaps his idiosyncrasies just work better in stop-motion than live-action for me.

Anyway, needless to say, I enjoyed this film -- I especially like that the science teacher was patterned to look like Vincent Price. I think the ending feel a bit flat though. IMO, the dog

should have stayed dead at the end of the movie; it would have made for a stronger, more poignant ending.

8.4/10

Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) - 4/10

Star Wreck (1992) - 5.9/10

Star Wreck II: The Old Shit (1994) - 6.9/10

Star Wreck III: The Wrath of the Romuclans (1994) - 5.7/10

Star Wreck IV: The Kilpailu (1996) - 5.7/10

Star Wreck: Lost Contact (1997) - 5/10

Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning (2005) - 8/10

The Haunted Mansion (2003)

The unlikable kids and the saccharine ending do their best to ruin this movie, but Terence Stamp's performance and Rick Baker's zombie effects manage to save it -- barely.

That stupid scene where Stamp gets dragged down into Hell in ludicrous, over-the-top-of-the-top fashion will continue to haunt my nightmares, though.

6/10

The Fugitive (1993) - 7.4/10

Dead of Winter (1987)

Look "meh" up in the thesaurus, and you'll find the title of this movie listed as a synonym.
