Bride of Frankenstein deserves more than a 75%.

For sure. Probably my favorite movie.

That’s why you just need to say, “I like the movie because . . .” or “I didn’t like the movie because . . .”

That way we actually know your opinion on the movies you’ve watched.

Yep. Star ratings usually say nothing at all.

I give this post ★★★★★ out of ★★★★★.

Ha! 😄

Most Disappointing / Satisfying Aspect of the Sequel Trilogy?
Time

The denial of fan service is the crux of your hatred of his death?

Also, how was it cheap? The whole movie was building up to it.

The only enjoyment I got out of it was being justified in my initial prediction about the movie- It’ll mostly be a remake of Star Wars and Han will die instead of Obi-Wan.
Just seemed like a box to be ticked.

This sets up distrust in Lando from the moment you see him. Which is perfect - because he inevitably betrays the main characters.

No, he doesn’t.

He flips around, I know, but the world he’s in as opposed to his character sets him up as initially untrustworthy. Making his initial betrayal not seem completely out of nowhere.

Ah, Yeah, I can go with that.
The “Lando betrayed everyone!” thing is a big peeve of mine.

No, he doesn’t.
He makes a deal, that vader latter changes, to save his friends and the population of his city while handing over one person, whom he doesn’t know.
Despite the deal being “altered”, he still manages to save everyone’s ass. Would stopped Boba Fett and saved Han too if the Lady and the Wookiee weren’t momentarily stupid. 3PO even knew what was up.

Han - Solo Movie ** Spoilers **
Time

Mrebo said:

I hope old Han Solo is used as a framing device. Maybe Harrison Ford providing narration throughout the film too.

I think that would only strengthen the disconnect between Ford and Ehrenreich.
It would be like watching How I Met Your Mother, where you’re going “Which one of these people grows up to be Bob Saget?”

Maybe I should get a new computer.

You can get a bluray burner from Amazon for 50 bucks.

Lol.

Chyron, now tell him where he can get 50 bucks

Han - Solo Movie ** Spoilers **

Possessed said:

Yeah but still I don’t think it’s a great idea to have it implied Han has been running from Jabba so long he turned from that guy into Harrison Ford. That doesn’t mean Lucasfilm won’t do it though.

I agree. I could do without a Jabba cameo altogether.
But hasn’t it been confirmed that they built a new Jabba puppet? That could be interesting.

Video Games That You've Beaten
Time

Possessed said:

That’s the one I grew up with as well but I have since discovered the superiority of the pc version. Actual cutscenes, higher quality voices and more voice clips, higher quality music.

This. My heart was sad when I read that the two of you played the absolute worst port of that fantastic game. I played the PS1 version originally.
The sequel is really good too. Underrated and overlooked.

Does a Let’s Play qualify as a web series?

My wife and I have been watching several Let’s Plays on Youtube by MasaeAnela. Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Tales of Symphonia so far I think.

watching someone else play a video game was considered a form of torture. 😉

Why is that? …Maybe if they have no idea what they’re doing.

But a Let’s Play’s enjoyment hinges more on the quality of the commentary than the skill of the gameplay.

It’s the commentary that turns me away. It’s almost always an annoying “nerd” type who talks too much.
Watching a skilled player play through a Zelda title can be cool, watching the story unfold like a movie. But usually it’s like watching your roommates obnoxious friend play while your roommate isn’t even home.

I just remember other kids in the neighborhood or my older sisters and brothers would play video games and I would sit and watch and be really bored because I wanted to be the one playing it.

Yes! It’s like watching RotS!
