Re: "Happy Made Up" STAR WARS Day!

The exact origin of the "May the 4th Day" in connection with STAR WARS culture remains a bit of a confusion for me, but I've noticed over the years that as more of the mainstream bean eaters who were mocking me as a kid (and later adult) for being a fan have now suddenly have become super ...

I actually like that cover. The steelbook is nice nice though. I've been waiting for this since the DVD era.

Re: "These Aren't the New STAR WARS Movie Announcements You've Been Waiting For"

These are perhaps the most entertaining "Star Wars" spinoffs that I've seen yet. It's Mystery Science Theater 3000 by way of the prequels. Funny series.

Re: INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY - "Frantic Reshoots" STILL On-Going

Disney looks at this series and thinks you can remove all of that...Spielberg and Lucas too...and so long as Ford is there that it doesn't matter about the aesthetics, the storytelling, etc. as the era is so far divorced from what it was that it doesn't even resemble what came before. Even the 1950...

Re: INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY - "Frantic Reshoots" STILL On-Going

I don't know - it's INDIANA JONES in the 1960's, man. I just threw up a little with Henry Jones Jr. riding what looks like the New York subway. If he waited a few years, Robert Shaw, Martin Balsam, and Hector Elizondo will show up. Then there goes the Dial of Destiny. And so much for paying homage t...

Re: New Disney licencing agreement with Mill Creek(!)

I think if you take a look at the stormy waters of the theatrical market right now, Iger seems to be prudent in taking a look at all channels of revenue to get the company back on track for growth. Even if this mindset is considered a stopgap measure, he at least understands the sales channels that ...

Re: Kathleen Kennedy To Exit After "Tribute" At Disney "Star Wars 23" Convention

Honestly, I don't understand corporate culture at all. Tell me what positive things she has done which would warrant a send-off like this? I just don't get it. Happens all the time in the corporate world. When someone has either screwed up in a way that affects the long-term growth or product pipel...

Re: TETRIS - Trailer - March 31st (Apple+)

Agreed, but I think most of the core elements are indeed true. Producer Matthew Vaughn had the same concerns when he read it -- “I was sent the screenplay. I didn't believe it. I was like, what moron came up with this idea, making a sort of a political Cold War thriller about Tetris? And then I got...

It's these kinds of packages that make it worthwhile. Nevertheless, I am curious about the first movie. Was it mentioned here before about the transfer complaints about the Superman UHD? I can't remember where.

Re: MARATHON MAN (1976) - Andy's 4K UHD Review

MARATHON MAN was a required film in two classes that I took back in college: Screenwriting and Film as a Medium. I am glad to hear that it's in 4K and the transfer is great. I will certainly pick this up when it comes out in a couple of weeks.

Re: At last....RENT-A-COP

Just a tough road there for Jerry at the time. You'd have thought HOOSIERS being a hit and earning him all kinds of kudos would've immediately opened up him scoring some better projects there -- or at least some dramatic works (I guess CRIMINAL LAW was connected since it was also a Hemdale movie, a...
