Re: Did you all skip the Oscars telecast too?

I actually found it the breeziest and most entertaining Oscar telecast in many years. And starting it an hour early was GREATLY appreciated (and I hope that becomes a standard...who wants to stay up until almost midnight on a Sunday? :?). Some wins I really appreciated (like Mr. G 8)), and there wer...

Re: rate the last movie you saw

- Love Lies Bleeding (2024): 10/10 https://cdn.moviefone.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/love-lies-bleeding-109.jpg This is the most twisted and galvanizing pretzel-logic lesbian noir since Bound , and the first authentically great movie of the year. Even a sharp skewing into metaphorical surreality ...

Re: The Marvels...done your MCU homework yet?

For the MCU, it's all over but the grousing at this point. I seriously doubt even teaming up Deadpool & Wolverine this summer is going to re-galvanize anyone's interest in a truly moribund genre.

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

For a studio that's kept three MCU movies per year spinning since roughly 2015, WHY is it so hard to get a theatrical Star Wars project off the ground, one that's NOT connected to one of the D+ or animated shows? :?

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

I didn't even bother with watching the third season.

Star Wars is dead to me. Even the "acclaimed" Andor bored me to tears. Disney's gonna lose their shirts on a Mandalorian movie...without the Mandalorian!

Re: STAR TREK Complete Original Series STEELBOOK Blu-Ray - $44

Stacked discs increase the likelihood of scratches exponentially.

Re: STAR TREK For Sale to Warner Bros.?!?!

And certainly better than the alternative, which is Paramount itself being sold to WB and effectively shut down. We don't need another studio going the way of Fox...not unless you like 3 or 4 megacorporations solely producing 99% of the world's entertainment. :( It's infuriating that Disney essenti...

Re: STAR TREK For Sale to Warner Bros.?!?!

Imagine going back thirty years, and telling someone that, one day, Disney would own Star Wars, and that WB would own Star Trek.

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd

We often poke fun and may be sarcastic about Zimmer, but the DUNE 2 score is a new kind of wretched, even for him. It adds NOTHING to the film (which I also saw last night). Not a single thing. It does DETRACT from it. This loud, obnoxious, grating, subwoofer-rattling "wall of sound" does...

Re: DUNE 2: SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME - November 3rd

That's one of the worst scores I've ever heard. Period. I saw Dune 2: How YOU Dune? yesterday, and watched the first Kung Fu Panda at home later that night, and lemme tell ya, "Oogway Ascends" has more melody and emotion in it than Zimmer managed to evoke in all 5-1/2 hours of Dune music ...
