Yeah I lucked out a bit. I was only refreshing every other minute or so, managed to catch it right after it went up. Someone had already bought out the row above what I consider the best row while my favorite seats were wide open!
Well so much for them going all out with the animation budget. =/
Let’s hope everyone sees it that way.
Meanwhile, I picked up my tickets. Just going to be standard 2D 7:00 for me. Double features were about $40. Same for the fan event. Not worth it.
Managed to score tickets for the first full screen IMAX showing here! Right in the perfect row too!
Oh yeah, ALL TLJ talk should be restricted to either of these threads until the film is out.
My take: if it’s official promotional material, it’s not a spoiler in the classic sense. If trailers were to count as spoilers, we’d have:
The Official Rogue One Spoiler Thread
The Official Rogue One Non-Spoiler Thread
The Offical Rogue One Trailer Thread…the last one being for people who want to discuss the official trailer without being exposed to real spoilers and leaks, while not revealing trailer content to people who don’t want to see it.
That would be silly.
Trailers aren’t spoilers. Consider that official forum policy if it will end the debate and let people get back to discussing the movie.
If you don’t want to know anything about a movie you don’t belong in a thread about that movie.
Yup, Orville continues to impress while episode 3 of Discovery was even more sniping and general miserableness.
I hope they’re going all out with the animation budget this go around. Power of the Daleks was serviceable but lacked any dynamism.
Speaking as a fan of those 80s series, that is the biggest load of codswallop I’ve ever heard.
Seems to be a day for posters:
Yeah Punisher is looking fantastic but I think I’m more excited for this:
Recommended Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings games for PS2, GameCube, GBA, DS, PC?
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, for GameCube and PS2.
It’s an RPG centering around another party (not the Fellowship) in Middle Earth whose adventures bring them across the path or in contact with the Fellowship itself. The idea for the game was that the Fellowship’s actions are fixed exactly to what they do in the books or movies, so exploration in an RPG as themselves would be limited. However, following someone who is following the Fellowship allows you to go where they went but you can also wander off on a tangent if you want.
Such a great game. Wish this was also for PC.
Never got to play Third Age but there’s a similar game called War in the North that I adore. You’re part of a group of three whose mission is to help support the Fellowship in the background. The gameplay consists of very fun hack and slash mechanics, with lots of varied loot and gear rewards throughout. It has three person online co-op that is a blast to play with others. It’s available on PS3, 360 and PC. And it looks great on PC. Here are some of my own personal screenshots:
I don’t see that ever happening. They’ll probably end up going with their plan B and replace it with the Nicholas Meyer series and claim that was the plan all along.
Bleh. That was not Star Trek.
Everyone in this thread is off my Christmas list.
I will fight you irl.
Ron Howard just tweeted this:
Spicey?
Fix the Luke hologram to match the rest of the saga (desaturate, blue tint, add scanlines).
Pre-recorded holograms have always had color:
But what about Leia, you might ask?:
Plenty of color in her face but her all white outfit emphasized the blue tint.
Jedit: and Luke’s hologram has plenty of scanlines already.
Helicopter? We live in the age of the drone.
If they were to ever bring back Dark Forces I’d want Kyle Katarn to stay a mercenary.
I watched Orville and was quite pleased. The visuals are gorgeous, I’m a little surprised they managed to pull that off on a TV budget. The humor can be a bit bluer than I care for at times but it’s not too bad. You can tell they were very earnest with the writing on this series and it feels like a love letter to classic Star Trek. There’s a real heart to it.
So if Discovery turns out to be the disaster in making it seems to be at least we’ll have one decent new Trek series to watch.
What is an '09 edit you’d recommend?
