TREMORS 5: Bloodlines (2015)

I was really worried about this one. Universal cut off contact with the original creators of the franchise and went rogue with this one. Luckily the filmmaker they hired had a huge amount of respect for the franchise and leaned on Michael Gross to make sure the film paid proper homage to the property. Ended up with a pretty decent flick. I’m not a fan of redesigning the classic creature but for this story it worked.

TREMORS 6: A Cold Day in Hell (2018)

After the success of Bloodlines I had hopes that this would at least live up to that level of quality. Unfortunately it did not. Some truly awful writing this go around. After managing to turn out decently in the last film, Jamie Kennedy is easily the worst element of this film. It also saw the return of the new graboid design which was definitely less excusable this go around. Michael Gross is the only redeeming part of this entry.

TREMORS Pilot (2018)

So, so glad this was not picked up for series. This is the very definition of a vanity project. Bacon and his crew clearly had no respect for the franchise’s history or legacy. Was going to introduce yet another graboid redesign, this one crossing miles over the line of acceptable deviation of the original. Truly awful.

The Clone Wars (2008)

My god, this is an awful movie. The humour, animation, story, everything is just bad. I guess I like the portrayals of Anakin and Obi-Wan’s characterisation though. Bad, bad movie.

I’ll never understand why they decided to just slap that first arc into theaters when the very next one was so much better and cinematic. The movie is such a horrible introduction to the series.

And since Han and Fett have knew each other prior to ANH, they might bring back Alden Ehrenreich as well.

I keep hearing fans say this and state it as a matter of fact. That there’s some great rivalry between the two or whatever. But there’s no evidence of that at all in either ESB or ROTJ. Just going off the films alone it would seem Boba Fett was just doing the job he was hired to. Heck, and while it’s canonicity is questionable, his very first appearance clearly depicts Han as having no idea who Boba Fett is.

I find it amusing that they mentioned Teräs Käsi, considering how generally negative opinions are about that game(though I guess that might be part of the joke). (Did anyone else get the impression that the EU stuff might be Jon Kasdan’s work?)

Teräs Käsi as a martial art has spread out quite a bit into other projects since its initial introduction. Though it did get a laugh out of me in the theater. And yeah, I think all the EU stuff was Jon mixed with some consultation with the Story Group.
