All I know is that Alexandre Desplat is doing the score. The only work of his that I can recall without looking up is The Grand Budapest Hotel. I actually loved that score, but that was all central European folk music, so there’s no way that’s any indication of what his Star Wars will sound like.

He was brought in to replace John Williams for the Harry Potter films.

Here’s a sampling of some of his work.

Blackstar Warrior as a full length movie.

A thousand times this! (For anyone not in the know)

The Teaser Trailer for Daredevil Season Two is here!

This entire thread is ridiculous.

Looks blue and black to me.

Let’s not forget Han witnessed Luke levitating Threepio in the Ewok village. Who knows what other feats in the Force he was witness to in the following years.

My Life in Monsters: Meet the Animator Behind Star Wars and Jurassic Park

Great profile on a prolific man.

ST Into Darkness is definitely not generally considered to be bad. Only so for any Trekkie.

Fixed that for you. I imagine the Trekkers are probably worse about it.

Don Verdean (2015)

From the husband and wife team that brought you Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre, and Gentlemen Broncos. I’ve been a fan of this team since Napoleon and have enjoyed all of their films to date. However, sadly I think Don Verdean was a bit of a misfire. I love a bit of dry humor but this film has taken it to an entirely new level that I didn’t know was possible. The humor was so dry I’d go so far as to call it brittle.

That’s not to say the film is without any laughs. It has its moments but sadly not quite enough of them. Having some familiarity with the communities and types of figures this film gently pokes fun at, I appreciated the care that was taken. Almost all of the characters are sincere in their beliefs and intentions if not a bit dim and gullible.

A decent effort that somewhat misses the mark.

It’s a conversation starter to be sure. Is that the real deal or someone’s recreation?

A faithful recreation based on stills.

If I still have the official HTD 1987 calendar stashed away, there are some nice stills in that I could frame and hang on the wall. 😉

And it’s a pity the fan club never made the Duckworld version of the Raiders poster available. 😉

I’d probably have nightmares if I had this hanging up somewhere:

And that’s speaking as someone who’s a fan!

Zinda, his face black, his eyes red.

Kiteo, his eyes closed.

The Beast at Tanagra.

Glowing praise. I’ll definitely have to bump that up in my queue.

Here’s our first look at Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange:

From a recent interview with Charlie Rose.

Y’all gon’ make me lose my mind up in here, up in here.

As well as the newspaper strip that can be accessed through my signature. Sadly, most of the good early material was abandoned in favor of the EU. Which is why I didn’t bat an eye when it died. All of my favorite stories had been thrown out long before.

They’re literally the backbone of the EU. They’re the skeletal frame that the rest was built on top of.

I’ve always been fascinated by the WEG books. I’ve read a few of them but have never found a group to play a game with.

I’ve gotten distracted by the surprisingly excellent Doctor Who comics that Titan have been putting out. I still plan on trying to get back into the new Marvel Star Wars. But it hasn’t been very promising thus far…
