And don’t forget Amazing Stories.

What would be far more interesting to me is a listing of all the movies Spielberg executive produced.  I’m sure it’s in the 100s, but it’d be fascinating and there are tons of movies he was involved with that people don’t even realize he was (like Galaxy Quest.)

I keep looking for overlooked flaws in the film every time I see it. And I never find them. Jaws is probably one of the most perfect films ever made.

Hook may be one of his weakest movies

I remember critics and fans being unkind to War of the Worlds. I thought it was visceral and thrilling on the same level as Jurassic Park — both pretty much tailor-made to be watched on a large screen with a booming sound system. Yes, Dakota Fanning is terrible in it. And the ending makes no sense. But it’s fun for at…

OK, kept going, and gotta say War of the Worlds is WAY too fucking high on the list. It looks great, sure, and the opening invasion is truly thrilling, but 2 hours of Dakota Fanning screeching and an eye-rolling happy ending left me with an indifferent shrug. I usually don’t rail against the rankings in lists like…

You joke, but...As recently as a year ago, I thought it would be impossible to match the original’s success. Now, though, I think he might be able to pull it off, thanks to the combined power of casual audiences with nostalgia for the original and the morbid curiosity of the haters/movie buffs. (He made the most…

I went to DW in October (gotta love Food & Wine LOL) before they raised prices *the next week*, but seeing that they had done away with the free system for getting in lines for rides was especially irritating (especially under the guise of “we want to limit the number of visitors post-pandemic,” very rich from the…

It will be a stylish marriage, she’s totally got a carriage!

Deux Chiens Andalous

Especially your mom...

I mean, we’ve had both the first Star Wars heart attack and the first Star Wars stroke in this show.

In a just world, more people would have watched Agents of SHIELD.

Something about those alien fishermen reminded me of 1980s Henson Creature Shop creations, both in their dialogue and their appearance.

Of course the Mothma scene imparts new information. It tells us that Leida is weirdly embracing her creepy-ass Chandrilian conservative roots and might not actually MIND being packaged off to another guy. Which does little to quell Mon’s anguish over it, since she knows how shitty those arrangements turn out to be.

I don’t disagree! It’s also the first one to actually have Billingsley and other original cast members.

the one i genuinely want to see is a follow up to the hustler/color of money, with an interesting filmmaker and cruise passing the torch yet again to a new star.

I figured Mon hung on as passing for legit until shortly before the Rebels existed in the open 

In Rebels she was still an Imperial Senator when she made a big, public “The galaxy needs to rebel against the Empire” announcement and immediately ran, so I don’t think she’s going to be on the run anytime soon. With the overall vibe of this show, I think it’s more likely she’ll be forced to make sacrifice after…

I’m going to be honest, I hope none of the show is ever constrained by Rebels or whatever other animated stuff from the Filoni-verse that covers the era. Let Andor either retcon it or make a parallel universe, because we’ve seen how badly shoehorning every Filoni character into a series worked out for Mando season 2…
