Do we know this was done by accident? Maybe this was the plan all along.

Is it just me or does the one over Japan look like a black banana?

All the single yetis, all the single yetis

I’m guessing “contemplative” is not a word in your filmic dictionary.

Peggy, you keep using that word, “incestuous.” I don’t think it means what you think it means.

You can’t compare Star Trek: The Motion Picture to 2001: A Space Odyssey, because STTMP was Robert Wise doing a terrible job imitating Kubrick without understanding how he achieves his alchemy.

There’s a difference between not liking something and not getting it. Your post is a clear case of the latter.

He’s right. No other depiction of Holmes, no matter how good, evokes the original stories.

Any problems AoU has, they’re pretty minor. Some movies, like The Force Awakens, just don’t make sense. Within the Marvel universe, these characters and this story make sense.

If you thought Man of Steel was good (which, wow... it was on TV again last night and I still found it unwatchable) and Batman v. Superman is a shitshow, then BvS must REALLY be terrible.

Simply re-badging it as a Toyota will probably help sales significantly. The Ford Explorer and Mazda Navajo were the exact same truck built by the same people on the same assembly line, but the Ford outsold the Mazda 10 to 1, despite the Navajo being less expensive.

I’m happy to hear this book is getting more recognition. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

She is far more interesting a choice for me than LeBlanc is. He always seems incredibly uncomfortable whenever he’s on camera as himself, which makes him boring to watch.

I managed to get people who have no interest in cars to watch Top Gear and they became hooked on it. They’re going to have to really work to match the fun chemistry of the dearly departed.

I believe you are correct about ‘13 being the last year for them. Mine’s a ‘12 that was a demo with 9k on the odometer. Also automatic because I’m too old to be abusing my knee while sitting in traffic. I don’t miss the stick at all.

I have one, as well. I love mine, except for the lack of trunk space (and access) when the top is down. The only photo I have is with my old Capri.

Personally I’m not a fan of wagons (probably because my first car was a 1973 Chevy Impala wagon), but I can’t deny their utility. In an era when most of us drove big cars, mine was the only one that could transport the complete set’s worth of film equipment as well as the entire crew.

On a semi-related note... when people keep insisting that Star Trek is Science Fiction while Star Wars is merely Space Fantasy, I made this handy chart.

Someone thought the Trek trailer looked anything but abysmal? Wow.

You make it sound as if the story in this movie is inevitable. It’s not. They could have made any number of different choices.
