If they do make another Indy film then ideally they should go all 'Wrath of Kahn' with it. Indy dealing with his age, wondering whether he belongs in this new nuclear age, wondering how he survived a nuclear blast in a fridge, pondering CGI prairie dogs. etc.
AHEM

Fixed
007 made it work though.
These guys...just... no...
Makes me ashamed to be a young-ish person.
Everytime someone yells NOOOO!!!! add the song 'Nobody does it better' to the rest of NOOOOO!!!!.
Yep!
I decree that next month's avatar theme will involve James Bond stuff.
Also, bump.

Ponyo (2008)
I have had the theme stuck in my head all week, so I decided to give it another watch. Wonderful.
4 out 5 Balls.
A View to a Kill (1985)
A lot of people tend to badmouth this film, but I quite like it. Roger Moore was definitely too old to have been playing Bond at this point, although his age does set up a nice little side plot of him acting like a father figure to Tanya Roberts' character (until the shower scene at the end of the film ruins that plot thread)
I rather like Duran Duran's theme quite a lot too, I'd definitely have it up in my favourites with On Her Majesty's Secret Service and 'You Know my Name' from Casino Royale.
3 out of 5 balls
Licence to Kill (1989)
Again, people tend to bad mouth this film due for it's 'Miami Vice' influences and for taking a Darker approach, but I really like it. Timothy Dalton's bond almost seems like a precursor to Daniel Craig's Bond in a way, as well as staying more in line to the way Bond is depicted in the Books. I wish Dalton had stayed on to play Bond a couple more times, because I really like his Portrayal. I'm not fond of the score in Licence to Kill, Michael Kamen's score just doesn't seem 'right'.
4 out of 5 Balls.
One of the things that saddens me is that a theme that was used prominently throughout most of the original films, hasn't been used since Moonraker.
The theme is called '007'. It would be nice to hear it make a return in a new bond film.

Why hasn't anyone made a good Dan Dare film (or even a crap one)?
I have absolutely no idea. I would love to see a Dan Dare film. Not sure who would play Dare (Maybe James Purefoy), Digby, Sondar (Maybe Jason Issacs or Dominic West) or Peaboy though. David Warner would make a good Sir Hubert and Andy Serkis could make a good Mekon. Hopefully if Dredd is commercially successful it'll pave the way for other 2000 AD comics.

There was a CGI animated Dan Dare series several years ago, but I don't think it ever aired in the U.S. I think the company that did the FX for Babylon 5 made the show.
It used to air on a terrestrial channel called Channel 5. It was quite good, as well as a rather faithful adaptation of the original stories and concept. They also kept the same design elements from the original comics from the 50s. Although they did change Sondar into a cyborg, and Digby into a cockney.
P.S. On another note, why has no-one done a Dan Dare/Judge Dredd crossover comic?? It would be interesting to see how those two characters would interact.
"Now there are two of them!"
Oh wait... that's from The Shining...
Dredd - (2012)
As a fairly young and kinda casual fan of the 2000 AD comics (my dad owns a rather large collection of 2000 AD comics from the 70s & 80s, as well as a bunch of Beano comics and the usual Marvel and DC stuff) I thought it was Pretty awesome. I remember being more of a fan of Dan Dare as a child and not particularly liking Judge Dredd, but I've now changed my mind. I liked that it was a much more gritter and more adult take on the character that the Stallone film. It also felt sort of like an 80s Paul Verhoeven film, like RoboCop. Very Well done.
8/10
There's something about the way people talk in the new series that just gets on my nerves. I did quite like the new episode, even though I caught it half way through.
"Live Long and Prosper"
1. Dude where's my moon sized super weapon?
2. The Ridiculous Menace
3. Transformers

Nobody will ever top what Lebeouf did with the Sam Witwicky character. It's the Transformers equivalent of Ledger's Joker.

No offense was intended of course. Just a silly little "odd couple" thingaroo. I thought it would be amusing if Jesus, who solves problems with wisdom and intellect, were paired with Hercules, who makes right through might :)
I smell sitcom!!

Can we please cut out the sizemic charge thingys? They really bug me. Why would a 2D projectile in 3D space be of any worry to obi-wan. He could just fly 'up' slightly and avoid the beam thing without all the spinning and dodging rocks.
Due to my friends constantly over-saturating me with this egorapter guy, I cannot stand him any-more. He's too loud.
Back on topic, I've recently been playing 'Flashback' on my Sega Megadrive/genesis/whatever they call it elsewhere in the world.
How about including some of this music?

DKR did indeed change everything, and is without a doubt one of the best pieces of literature I have ever read. Take all of the hype you've heard about Watchmen and go read this instead. It is still an unbelievable read canonical or not. A film version with Kevin Conroy has long been a dream. (Though the new DCAU movie version-gulp-cast someone else)
Don't worry, Peter Weller is playing Batman. PETER ROBOCOP WELLER. squeee!!!
PS: Anybody here like Miller's All Star Batman & Robin? That was one of the most diabolically hysterical things I've eve read. People just took it seriously when some of the comedic gold was pouring out from the panels.
I was crying with laughter throughout this. It's hysterical how ridiculous they act.
Have you read Batman: Fortunate Son? In it Batman battles Rock 'n' Roll. It is quite possibly one of the dumbest comics I have ever read.
Pigs!... From a gun!!!
