So when will we get the great Peloponnesian War/Alcibiades movie that's just waiting to be made? Shit, just adapt Pressfield's Tides of War, all the work is done for you!

Comment of the day for sure :)

Shame you can't allow yourself to enjoy Interstellar. That movie is aces. I'm sure the snark is worth it though.

I was. I mean, once that scene starts, I knew what was gonna happen, but I honestly didn't see it coming going in. My guess that Luke was gonna sacrifice himself a la Obi-Wan Kenobi (which he still might do).

Wow, I can understand being underwhelmed by this movie (I liked it, we'll see if that holds up in the days ahead), but this comments section is getting out of hand. You aren't cool just because you've decided to hate something that's gotten a lot of hype. Get over yourselves.

Nice post. Well-played on the Yoda quote at the end. A lot of good points, so I got a lot of work to do. Also, I should say that while I know a sickeningly large amount about Star Wars, my knowledge of Trek is much more limited.

Go with the Executor from Ep 5 and 6 then. Once you bring a Super Star Destroyer to the fight the Enterprise is really fucked. Last time I checked, the Federation was fresh out of suicidal A-Wing pilots so they're gonna have a hell of a time bringing that one down

Sure, if you're using just your lasers you are pretty inaccurate. But as anyone who's played TIE Fighter can tell you, concussion missiles are your friend.

Plus you need a whole crew to fly the Enterprise, while the Falcon just needs a bipedal dog. Its like asking if you'd rather own a two-seat Cessna, or a 747. Sure the jet has more amenities, but you need a whole crew to run and maintain it.

Fair enough, the rules of storytelling means the Federation needs to win eventually. Maybe to make all things fair in that department we could have the Empire versus the evil Federation from the mirror universe where Spock has a beard (and tell me you wouldn't watch THAT movie).

Also, it should be noted that while the Enterprise would struggle against a Star Destroyer like the Avenger, the Millenium Falcon totally punked the Avenger and escaped right out from under its nose

Nothing beats aircraft carriers except other aircraft carriers. And since scifi has taught us that space is an ocean, Star Destroyer wins

To me the more fun question is, who would win in an all-out war, the Federation, or the Empire? We are assuming competent leaders on both sides (less Admiral Ozzel, more Grand Admiral Thrawn). I take the Empire, but like Sheldon, I've always been an Empire man.

What i meant was i can't comment on if shitty marketing fucked up John Carter, but that what fucked up The Golden Compass was not marketing, but being an atrocious movie

I first read it in 6th grade. Fast forward to a few years later in freshman year biology class, we start talking about mitochondria and I'm like "HOLY SHIT THOSE THINGS ARE REAL??"

I enjoyed the over-the-top-ness, quite a bit actually, but I can see why someone else might not. Considering how morose and restrained everyone else is in the prequels, its fun to see someone having a good time.

I dunno, I'd watch the hell outta that movie. Can we get Vanilla Ice to record a new version of "Jedi Rocks" too?

I agree. I don't know how this guy hates Return of the Jedi…oh wait…well, this is awkward.

Never seen Bullitt, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that space battles beat car chases any day of the week. If you prefer the first Death Star battle, I'm not gonna hate, that scene is amazing too (probably better than Bullitt also).

To each his own I guess. For me the Emperor was far and away the best part of Ep III. How can you not love that opera house scene?
