Goddamn, FanFiltration is like a looking in a “Musical Taste” mirror. Freaking love REM. Been meaning to listen to them for a couple weeks now, and this has inspired me to actually do so.

Right on man! I’ve been looking through my extensive CD library to find things I have not played in a while. When I was in high school back in the early 80’s, I worked part time at a local radio station. I had access to a wide selection of music and so my life long CD and vinyl collecting began. I then went onto collage radio…

Ben Affleck cast as new Batman
Time

Warner Bros. confirms that Ben Affleck will be directing Next solo ‘Batman’ film.

Warner Bros. transported the DC Films universe to San Diego to kick off its Comic-Con panel in Hall H on Saturday, bringing out directors David Ayer (Suicide Squad), Wonder Woman (Patty Jenkins), Zack Snyder (Justice League), Rick Famuyiwa (The Flash), and James Wan (Aquaman).

But then, they were joined on stage by none other than Ben Affleck, the actor who most recently brought the Caped Crusader to the big screen in Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Affleck is directing and starring in a standalone Batman film, it was officially announced after months of rumors that he was working on the project.

“It’s really inspiring. It’s like taking on a great play. It’s been reinvented so many times, it’s terrifying but it’s exciting,” Affleck said. No release date was confirmed, but the Batman logo was slotted between standalone films for The Flash (2018) and Cyborg (2020).

The panel, which was moderated by Conan O’Brien, also brought the first trailer for Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot as the titular hero.

What a drop in music quality. This soundtrack becomes quite annoying at times with the carnival music, 80’s crap rock, and typical tepid uninspired 80’s Bay Area Jazz. The main title theme was enjoyable with the (then popular) record scratching, but the rest just does nothing for me. The best part was a re-arranged motif from the first movie.

A bit better then the last entry. Still, there is nothing here to come back to. The main title and radio controlled car theme is pull your hair out annoying! The rest is some bland jazz and typical movie background music.

Edit: Changed “The Dead Pool” from a 4 to a 5 after further consideration.

“Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack” (1979) 4/10

This was the second Battlestar Galactica theatrical release. It is a re-edited version of the original Battlestar Galactica T.V. series episodes “The Living Legend”, “Fire in Space” and the pilot episode “Saga of a Star World”, with some extra (never used on the T.V. show) model shots thrown in to extend the running time to theatrical film standards. I can see how Universal wanted to get their money back from the expensive special effects bill that the T.V. show ran up, but this film does not play as well as the slimmed down pilot had. The “Fire in Space” segment is so laughable. The nova space-minefield segment from the previous movie was shoehorned into the final battle segment and it just did not work. At least this movie version cut most of of the boxy scenes out. This movie never played in theaters in the U.S. (wise move), but was a big money maker overseas.

Battlestar Galactica (1979) 8/10

This is the theatrical cut edited down from the 3 hour T.V. pilot and it’s still one heck of a good film.
For a television production this movie holds up rather well after all these years. It has some corny and cheesy low budget moments, but special effects and light humor help make up for that. The edits made from the T.V. version were well picked and the story flows better in this shorter version. Wish they would have cut out Boxy, but what can you do?
