THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS.

Mmmm....I saw Jurassic Park in 35mm back in the day. I don't recall it ever being that dark.

So, anyone else catch the premiere of season 3 this past week? I thought it was pretty spectacular!

Bleh, I hate the new trend of all Lego games having dialog. The silent pantomime was charming, now they just rip dialog straight out of the film and it's boring. Not to mention weird when you have silly stuff going on and then SUPER SERIOUS DIALOG.

Marvel Comics ‘Damage Control’ Adapted As Comedy TV Series By ABC

Sometimes the most important super heroes are the ones behind the scene. Marvel Television is heading to the half-hour live-action comedy arena with Damage Control, a single-camera comedy project based on the Marvel Comics books, which has received a put pilot commitment from ABC.

Developed for TV by former Daily Show and Colbert Report executive producer Ben Karlin, Damage Control follows the overworked, underpaid, clean up crew of the Marvel Universe. Specializing in dealing with the aftermath of the unique fallout from superhero conflicts, they’re the ones who are in charge of returning lost ray guns to their rightful owners, help to reschedule a wedding venue after it has been vaporized in a superhero battle, or even track down a missing prize African parrot that’s been turned to stone or goo.

Introduced in 1988 and getting their first storyline the next year in Marvel Comics Presents, Damage Control has a recurring presence on the pages of Marvel Comics, and has been the subject of four limited series to date. Dwayne McDuffie and Ernie Colón created the concept. Notably, the outfit played a key role in the events of the 2006-2007 “Civil War” crossover,though they’re not featured in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War, loosely based on that arc.

I quite enjoyed the episode of Ultimate Spider-man that featured this crew. I think it has a lot of potential. I'm curious if it'll actually be connected with the MCU like the other shows.

The Seventh Sister Unmasked

He don't know us very well, do he?

Nothing, perhaps, but why spend the tons of money and time on a restoration of a version with a tiny existing interested group of purchasers when the existing versions, for which they already have HD masters, are selling like heroine?

This is disproven every time news crops up of a release. Everywhere news is reported the comments section of whatever article or video is bombarded by people demanding the OOT.

It's pure purchase fatigue. There is zero incentive for anyone that already owns the films to buy them YET AGAIN, unless they're the minority of collectors that has to have every release for their collection.

The reason every release up to now kept adding more changes was that George knew he could combat the fatigue with the promise of something new each time.

Now that he's out of the picture, the only thing they can do is the one thing they haven't yet and that's release a properly restored OOT. It's either that or tinker with the films themselves and I doubt they'd risk that as that would set off a firestorm with the TFNers and their worship of Lucas' "original vision."

Can this fix that problem if you have a publicity still that isn't doused in Windex?

This is an example of Windex: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/images/reviews/197/full/1371158749_1.png

 You'd be surprised how much color information is still in any individual frame.

I was able to knock this out in Photoshop in a couple minutes. Of course, proper color timing is a different process of which I know nothing about. =P

I don't see how a bipedal humanoid species could be native to a gas giant.

Nevermind the original Marvel run....

I don't see why. The Inquisitor made up for a lack of skill with an overly fancy blade whose faults were exposed duly.

Meanwhile, Kylo's saber is just ridiculous.

Gotta say I'm happy with Dre's and disagree with kk here. kk's example the rebel soldier looks jaundiced while Dre's guy looks like the pasty brit he actually was. =P

The best 3D Star Wars you'll ever see is on Star Tours 2.0.

As for bringing old matte paintings to life. It's most certainly doable. Look what's been done with another old Lucas property. This was done by projecting the original art onto a three dimensional model.

He was very vocal about the fact that he hated that they revived Coulson and publicly stated that Coulson would never be mentioned or brought up again in one his films. 

The latest statements from both camps(TV & Film) have stated that now its just a matter of timing.

Marvel Movies Referencing TV Shows ‘Inevitable’ Says Kevin Feige

I bloody well hope so now that Whedon is out of the way!

The Stones of Venice (8th Doctor, March 2001)

Eh....decent.

Minuet in Hell (8th Doctor, April 2001)

Why oh WHYYYYYY did they waste the Brigadier on this dreck?!?!?!

Living Legend (8th Doctor, November 2003)

Hah! This was more like it. Fun clever little tale.

Invaders From Mars (8th Doctor, January 2002)

This was a fun one. They're absolutely terrible at American accents but the homage to both the radio plays of old and hardboiled detective stories was great.

The Chimes of Midnight (8th Doctor, February 2002)

Easily the best Eighth Doctor tale yet! Had a wonderful sense of dread and mystery. Though you'd have to at least be familiar with his first audio story to fully appreciate this one.

The Valley of Death (4th Doctor, October 2011)

The Doctor on a South American expedition? Yes please!

Brian Daley hands down. He perfectly captured the spirit of the galaxy and his stories were always fun. His work on the radio plays alone and how they expanded the films was brilliant.

 The original European cut, the abbreviated American cut....or....the "love conquers all" cut?

This is just oozing with the '70s I love it.

Yeah, it's funny. The newer Muppets are the ones I enjoy the most. Especially Pepe, Rizzo and Bobo. Probably has to do with the fact that they're still performed by their original puppeteers.

Yes, just got around to watching it. It's basically The Office: Muppets Edition. I'm okay with the format itself but the execution left a lot wanting. You can get away with a lot of things with the Muppets as long as it's funny. This was pretty lacking in that department. Though there was one great line from Pepe that had me cracking up for a while. Ultimately, as mediocre as this first episode was it was still a breath of fresh air after the last two movies.

Anyway, it should be noted that this isn't the first time the Muppets have toyed with more adult sensibilities. After the success of Sesame Street Jim Henson didn't want the Muppets to be pigeonholed into being strictly for children. So to combat that, in 1974-75 he created two pilots for new series one of which was titled SEX AND VIOLENCE.

Starship Troopers is a great read.

I was afraid of that. They've been floundering around for years now. It's seems as if no one has stepped up with a vision for where to take them so they've just been floating from one monetarily enticing outside offer to the next.

The Clone Wars series was the best thing to come out of the PT. So I actually don't mind some of the elements from that appearing in Rebels.

Storm Warning (8th Doctor, January 2001)

What a great start! Quite enjoyed this one. For quite some time now just having seen the cover I had thought this was set in some kind of steampunk alternate reality. But no, it's actually a historical tale with a Scifi twist. Excellent story and the Doctor's new companion is not bad.

Sword of Orion (8th Doctor, February 2001)

A pretty standard Doctor story, not bad by any means. It was enjoyable.
