SilverWook

Isn’t that the definition of a soft reboot?

huh? They are rebooting Bond again?

I meant OHMSS would be considered a soft reboot today. Not sure the concept existed at the time it was made.

If someone could PM me a link to the image, please?

Oh! Ok. Somebody forgot to leave me a note in the moderator lounge it seems. 😉

Thanks for explaining.

Did Silverwook just post a spoiler for a movie with a soon-to-be released remake?

If anything they’ll semi-remake On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, not From Russia with Love.

If they do remake OHMSS, I hope this time Bond and Blofeld don’t act like they’ve never meant before when they did meet in the events of YOLT.

Soft reboot. 😉

Am I missing something? Not wide awake yet.

You can’t even walk into Target without seeing Porgs plastered on the entrance. Somebody here already made one their avatar. If this is the first time you’ve actually seen one, I envy you.

If everything goes like it has been, Urban Outfitters will probably be hawking laserdisc players as the new retro fad like vinyl and now cassette tapes.

I wish! I wonder if Pioneer could even manufacture a player at this point without starting from scratch.

Not the one I want, but the one I’ll probably get. 😉

You do know they brought the show back last year?

It surprised me that Coppola didn’t record new commentaries for the restored versions, as I would’ve loved to hear him reflecting in the context of the films receiving an overhaul. I own the Blu-ray, the 1997 W/S VHS releases and the P&S chronological Trilogy VHS. Out of curiosity, what did you think of the look of the Saga and EPIC broadcasts by AMC and HBO in recent years? Again, the issue wasn’t with the Restoration’s transfer but the colours that were imposed by Gordon Willis. 😃

Here’s another addition to the list that’s so obvious that it’s easy to forget.

After Ellison threatened legal action, subsequent prints of The Terminator have since carried, “Acknowledgement to the works of Harlan Ellison” during the end credits.

Allegedly some early video copies don’t have that credit, as Harlan bought The Terminator on LD and was perturbed it wasn’t there. At least that’s what I read somewhere many years ago.

Remind me again why Mike Pence would make a horrible President?

I wouldn’t want to be alone in a compartment on the Orient Express with him. Let’s leave it at that. 😉

So WB partially mucked this up? Glad I didn’t toss my fan restoration copy yet!

We’ll have the robot spider body ready for you by then. 😉

You should use that when you get to TFA, sometime before 2025. 😛

He’s heard of it, he just thinks it doesn’t apply to him.

I’m sure those folks will watch the Super Bowl, but keep quiet about it. 😉

The thing is Trump will claim credit for the NFL changing policy and the usual suspects will believe it.

If it has a chilling effect, he doesn’t have to back it up.

Ha! If a president could actually do that, Ford would have shut down NBC over SNL making him out to be a super klutz.

But it’s not. The only way out to where?
The only way out of this mess? That’s not a threat.

Again, a threat would include “or else.” As in some (either vague or specific) governmental action would be exacted against the NFL. “The only way out” does not suggest any action other than Trump continuing to tweet at them.

The only way “the only way out” could be a threat would be if the NFL was already threatened and there was “the only way out” to prevent continuation of the current threat.

Trumpy already has his minions chanting boycott NFL. You don’t think the team owners are afraid for their wallets?

Why am I not surprised?

We’re analyzing the lyrics to a Gary Coleman sitcom now?

Ha, I agree!

Does one of the bots or Mike say that?

Tom says it.

If you’re still stumped for the opening crawl, you could have them riff on it. See the opening of #501 Warrior Of The Lost World for reference.

I’m sure the tests will be administered by a respected and impartial expert in a scientific manner.

It’s a magical Jedi crunchy frog! He Force teleports out of Jabba’s stomach each time he’s eaten. 😛

I wonder if they’re cheating with that last shot? Do we technically see Rey and Ren in the same frame?

How do we know they didn’t shoot stuff just for the trailer? Rogue One has played that card.
