Don’t kid yourself into thinking it’s all on the filmmakers. The formula is specifically designed so that their films are indistinguishable from one another. Quick, without cheating, who directed Captain America: Civil War? You don’t know and you don’t care because it doesn’t matter. It’s a product first and a film second.

Not that you were asking me but the Russo Brothers. I know that because I do care and so do they. They’re doing far greater things with Marvel than Joss Whedon did with the characters.

Marvel puts a lot of faith in their filmmakers. They’ve had hiccups in the past (Edgar Wright) but on the whole they rely a lot on the directors they hire to set the tone and direction of their individual films.

Guardians of the Galaxy is without a doubt, a James Gunn film. Thor: Ragnarok is shaping up to be a thoroughly Taika Waititi film with all the funny quirks that entails.

Likewise, the Russos are proving to be very capable at creating Action Thrillers.

There are the occasional paint by the numbers productions that pop up but to say that all of the MCU is the same is patently false.

Seeing both a Jedi and a Sith simultaneously believe they’d find redemption through Vader was awesome, and was yet another example of “things I hate about the PT that are mostly alright in this context”.

I didn’t think they were talking about Vader.

Likely it was kept intentionally ambiguous.

There’s nothing really ambiguous about it.

Maul: Oh, you have a purpose here. Perhaps you are…protecting something? No…protecting someone.
Maul: Tell me…is it the Chosen One?
Kenobi: He is.
Maul: He. Will. Avenge us…

Speechless. That was amazing.

There were definitely two references to the Short Circuit films.

KONG: SKULL ISLAND (2017)

LOVED IT! Everything you could want from a classic monster movie, it delivers in spades! It’s been so long since we’ve had a proper one. If you go see this, and I most definitely recommend you do, STAY AFTER THE CREDITS!

I was real little watching the hd versions on Netflix a few years ago was probably the first I’ve seen it

If you were really little when they added TOS to Netflix streaming, you’re probably still really little now. I’m gonna guess you’re six years old!

Mon Mothma & Bail Organa seem pretty chill about him having a Jedi friend in R1.

Wha?

Cate Blanchett looks crazy. I like it!

Now where’s my Enemy Mine blu release?!?!

What are some of what you guys would consider the most ridiculous episodes of Star Trek?

I can’t think of any at the moment. But undoubtedly they’ll all be from Voyager.

Impressive Obi Wan costume. I like the idea of a portable Vaporator too. Not sure why would Obi Wan would need a Gaffi stick, unless he’s using it for another purpose.

Well he is hiding out. One figures he’d need a weapon that wouldn’t draw suspicion from the local farmers. Wearing his hilt out in the open is another matter. =P

Anyone else caught up with this season of AoS?

Have…have you never spent any time in sand? It’s rough and coarse and it gets everywhere.

So who do we complain to about this heinous revisionism?

Jedit: It’s also false advertising, no?

Zootopia was a decent film but Moana was the better of their two films. That said, of them all, Kubo and the Two Strings should have won this year. Instead it’s just another year and another disappointment from the Academy voters.

You can see the producers running around exchanging the envelopes in the background.

Depending on where you live you might be able to find someone on craigslist that could do that for you.

I like the way you think.

Oh yeah, Nickelodeon’s TMNT is fantastic. You can tell everyone working on it are fans.

Mmmm…are all of your games the right region?
