Here's some art from one of my favourite artists and one of my biggest inspirations, Salvador Dali.

Autotune: the crutch of choice for the talentless.

I'm currently watching the first season of Highlander: The Series on Netflix. It's not a horrible show but it's not great, either. The storylines and most of the characters are rather "meh" for me; Connor MacLeod from the films is a much more relatable character than Duncan MacLeod, IMO.

Memories can be unreliable things sometimes. I remember Leia having her hair done up in buns the first time I saw TESB, and I remember Luke having a blue lightsaber the first time I saw ROTJ. Of course, when I saw them again later, neither Leia's TESB buns nor Luke's blue ROTJ lightsaber were present.

I think I can chalk the blue lightsaber up to being a result of the TV's tint setting being off, though.

Luke's saber was blue in the "Revenge" trailer though.

Had Lucas had his way this would have been in empire.

Leia "I Love You".

Han "Just remember that 'cause I'll be back"

A real digital painting!

     Speaking of bonus discs...

     I watched the THX 1138 SE recently. Outstanding restoration and enhancement.

     I'd like to see Amgraf and THX included in an SW saga set!

     I suppose that would create problems with the different studios and lost profit on the single sales.

     OTOH, it would make the saga sets even more appealing and provide vastly greater distribution and awareness for those two great films.

I think I'm going to go out and get drunk now. ;)

Agreed, Lucas destroyed Thx 1138 the same way he did star wars.  CGi lizards and monkeys, wtf.

You forgot the masturbation machine in THX's apartment...

Who could forget that?

And what about the next James Bond flick have heard zero.

This crappy movie features a story that revolves around a murderer who films their victims on camera as they kill them.

Are we talking about the same tapes that were in the 'hologram' boxed set?
That came out in '92, I think.

Those are the last SW VHS tapes I have left. I sold all my others.

I was David Bowie in a past life. Can I be nostalgic?

I saw David Bowie at Madison Square Garden in 1987. Can I be nostalgic?

BTW- how can you be Bowie in a past life if he's still alive? ;-)

The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations. Not as good as the first, not as bad as the second; 5/10.

Kessel is a hive of black holes. You have to fly gigantic curves to escape the gravitational fields of the black holes. But Han's ship is fast enough to fly smaller curves, therefore his way is shorter than other's.

Duracell, yes, no love for the 2003 pilot. I think the only reason I even like the movie is because that's what got me into Lost in Space in the first place. Well, one of its computer games, anyway. Besides, the Robots and Bruce Broughton's score are AWESOME!!!

Just to clarify, the pilot I speak of was for a new Lost in Space series that would have had no ties to the '98 film.

I'm with you three!

Wait ... that doesn't make much sense.

And then there is this little exchange.

"Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father"

"He told me enough! He told me you killed him".

Not bad dialogue, really, but what's with the emphasis on "you"?

• "He told me enough. He told me you killed him."
• "He told me enough. He told me you killed him."
• "He told me enough. He told me you killed him."

 

Nope. I think Hamill's was the right choice.

Alternatively, he could have emphasized "killed", or even avoided emphasis altogether ;-)

Lost in Space (both the awesome 1965-1967 TV show and the awesome 1998 Bruce Broughton Concert/Robot Demonstration/Light Show)

What, no love for the unaired pilot to the 2003 series that was never produced?

ME AM BIZARRO RIC!

Stargate 2 - July 2, 1996 (alternate universe)

Stargate 3 - May 20, 1998 (alternate universe)

Return of the Cable Guy - never going to happen

Son of the Cable Guy - never going to happen either

Here's an idea of mine that's been stewing in my brain for a while. It's just a bare-bones plot, mind you; I haven't ironed all the details out yet.

We begin with a prologue in the mid-to-late 1800s. We're in a Catholic catherdral. Inside the cathedral enter these shady looking characters carrying this arcane looking altar. They set the altar down on the floor and begin to chant some incantations in some otherworldly language. The head priest of the cathedral then appears and confronts them, declaring that they cannot defeat him or the power of his god. The priest then begins to recite his own incantations. The power of the priest begins to drain the very life from these invaders, but they continue with their rites. In the end they die, falling apart into ashy skeletons, but not before they complete the ritual. The priest then dies, consumed by unearthly green fire.

Jump forward to the present. The cathedral and the altar within remain intact. Then one day someone accidentally jars the altar loose from its spot and damages it in the process. At that point the sinister Black Man, a shadowy apparition in black robes with glowing green eyes and saliva, awakens and begins to afflict the parishioners and the current head priest with horrible nightmares that bring their deepest, darkest fears and desires to the front of their minds. As the nightmares persist and grow more realistic the parishioners begin to grow irritable and violent, and the Black Man feeds off these negative emotions, growing stronger as he does so.

And as he feeds the Black Man begins to interact with the current head priest in his waking life, commanding him to do one thing: destroy the altar.

Let's see ... The OT soundtracks came out in the 70s & 80s ... Stargate came out in the 90s ...

I can't come to a decision!

As for the Tosche station line I don't have a problem with it.

He's a teen, trapped on a nowhere planet, doing a boring job for a domineering dream quashing uncle.

He could leave at anytime but stays out of a sense of responsibility and yet Owen is still ordering him around like a small child.

It makes perfect sense that he would be resentful and whine while simultaneously attempting to justify his limited chances at relaxing from his tedious life as something work related to his ungrateful parent figure.

He doesn't know what Owen's genuine fears are or what is causing him to hold Luke back so he is kicking against what he sees.

All things considering Luke's reaction is surprising mild.
