Ever notice how one-dimensional all these old Fairy Tale characters are?

I thought that was part of the charm. It's when you start trying to modernize them with 21st century notions and ideology (or lack thereof) that they lose their appeal.

Watching the appallingly bad "Attack of the Clone", I found the young version of Aunt Beru (Bonnie Piesse) more attractive than Padme (Natalie Portman).

What say the rest of you?

I guess the moral of "The Empire Strikes Back" is that it's not how much the movie makes, it's the quality of the story that matters to fans in the long run.

Disbelief can only be suspended so much until it crosses the line of absurdity.

Example: the way Batman always seems to rise to the occasion on Justice League. As much as I like Batman, I can't get away from this nagging feeling that he would be more than a little dwarfed in light of some fo the interstellar threats the League faces.

Neat idea, Han Solo dying slowly from ill-side effects of the carbon freezing.

Change this one line that kind of bugs me.

HAN: "Who're you?"
LEIA: "Someone who loves you."

Change that to

LEIA: "Take a guess, flyboy."

Or something like that.

If I were in charge of killing Han Solo, I think I would have had him die on Endor when the Rebels are trying to storm the Death Star shield generator (whose brilliant idea in the Empire was it to place the new Death Star's shield generator so far away from the actual Death Star?), possibly sacrificing his life for either Leia or Chewbacca.

And probably would have left the thing with Luke & Leia being twin siblings on the cutting room floor.

Everyone's always going on and on about how beautiful Cate Blanchett is, but I think she's kind of creepy looking (not a bad actress, but creepy looking). What say all of you?

Does it amaze anyone familiar with Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995) managed to do more serious interpretations of Two-Face and Mr. Freeze than the live action films?

Is it even worth doing a Star Trek 11? I thought they'd kind of run out of steam after "First Contact". "Insurrection" had a few amusing moments but "Nemesis" was kind of boring and spent too much time making references to the Star Trek films of the past.

If they did more movies based on the works of JRR Tolkien's other , non-Hobbit/LOTR books (like "The Silmarillion"), would they be considered sequels?

I don't like to bash the teddy bear people, AKA: Ewoks, but I guess we could have cut them and gone with the wookies or simply no alien species at all.

Actually I think the guy who voiced Snarf on Thundercats died a few years before Episode 1 was made.

I disagree with the way the film is being handled (casting Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane, making the film a semi-sequel to the first two movies that starred the late Christopher Reeve, etc.) and feel that they don't deserve to have it be successful. I don't hate Superman, I hate the way they're doing this new movie. But maybe I'll be wrong, maybe that Brandon Routh guy will rise to the occasion, who knows...

I second that emotion.

Were you anti-"He-Man & The Masters of the Universe"? Some people viewed Thundercast as being essentially a knockoff of He-Man. Don't know why I'm asking...

I think the 1994 show didn't do his angst right.

Style can go a long way in making even a limited animation series (done on fours rather than twos) look superior. Recent examples of this include Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack and Clone Wars, which all share one common denominator: Genndy Tartakovsky.

It probably helped too that they didn't depict Batman and Superman as whiny little men-bitches who want to throw in the towel every time they get a paper cut or stub their toe or some other accident befalls them, which is what Peter Parker seemed to do almost every other episode after a while of the DIC-1994 cartoon. Angst can be fun when done right, but the '94 show made their angst too absurd and repetitive.
