Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Love everything about this film.

I barely remember this film, other than the weird style that didn’t speak to me at all.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was a love letter to the 1940s Max Fleischer Superman cartoons as well as the Sci-Fi action adventure serials of the time. All things I love and am a huge fan of.

It was originally meant to be completely in black and white but the studio nixed that and instead they settled on the unique recolored aesthetic the film is now known for.

Howard the Duck
It has highly questionable moments but I just find the film overall to be quite enjoyable.

Planet of the Dinosaurs
Pretty bad but love it for nostalgic reasons.

Mac and Me
Incredibly blatant E.T. ripoff but it has a charm all its own. How can anyone harbor any ill will toward a film with a scene like this?

SUPER MARIO BROS.
Another oddball film with its own goofy charm.

John Carter
Everyone had it in for this movie long before it came out. Dunno why, it was a fun romp. It took some liberties with the source material but I think they stayed true to the spirit of it. Sad that there’ll never be a sequel.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Love everything about this film.

Hudson Hawk
A super cheesy film that I have a real soft spot for. Apparently everyone else hates it.

This tweet sums up today’s goings on. I shall return upon completion of it.

In the meantime, I was finally able to finish up season two of Agent Carter. The writing was a definite improvement from the first and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m sad that given the ratings its unlikely to return for a third round. Especially since we still haven’t even seen the formation of SHIELD yet! Still, I quite enjoyed my time with Peggy and Jarvis. I just hope we’ll see them again someday.

Not every video on YouTube is monetized. Any that are would also be in violation. Paramount has made it clear that they’re fine with fan productions as long as they’re non-profit. The makers of Axanar broke that trust plain and simple.

It sucks because it had the makings of something fantastic. But the makers went too far and Paramount is in the right on this occasion.

<strong>STAR WARS: REBELS</strong> (animated tv series) - a general discussion thread

You can thank George not only for the resurrection of Maul but also leaving him unresolved on the Clone Wars as well. This is basically clean up of one of the biggest leftover plot threads from the Clone Wars cancellation. As such, since you’re left with a living Maul, might as well square him off against Vader. Can’t really blame Filoni for that.
