Jesus Christ, is it really happening?

Yes they do.

Battle gets a bad rap. How could you not like mutants fighting apes?

I see what you are saying, but I meant Star Trek IV, which gets them out of the box that Star Trek II & III created. Star Trek III gets them out of one problem—dead Spock—but creates many others. At the end of Star Trek III the Enterprise is blown up and they are unemployed criminals with a brain-damaged friend.

It was some Star Trek IV-level writing yourself out of a corner the previous movie trapped you in.

I watched those over the weekend with my son, who had never seen them. We'd been catching up on old science fiction movies and he was mesmerized. At the end he said 'Wait, didn't you say there were five of these? How can they make any more?" He was gobsmacked at the idea of a movie that seemingly went so aggressively

Yeah.
SPOILER ALERT FOR 40 YEAR OLD MOVIE

The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away!

I can't imagine doing that without a skilled team of liver-transplant surgeons on standby.

Say what you will about Gladiator, it's a fuck-ton better than Oliver Stone's Alexander.

Derek Jacobi was just doing the minimum required to maintain legal compliance under the Derek Jacobi Historical Epic Full Employment Act.

Scott couldn't get the rights to use the Biggus Dickus character from Life of Brian.

Nothing wrong with that. It had been a long time since there had been a decent sword and sandals movie. Watching Gladiator in the theater kind of felt like watching Unforgiven. I had a similar haven't-seen-that-genre-in-a-while feeling. It was refreshing.

Yeah. Master and Commander was the best Star Trek movie ever made. There should have been six of them.

There should be a Rolling Stones movie where Rupert Grint plays Brian Jones. Alfie Allen should be Mick Jagger.

Based on students I had, a Zeppelin phase still seems common.

Perhaps this movie can be about Leia fighting off all the lawsuits from contractors that had business with the government of Alderaan. Throw in some business about trade negotiations, and you've got sci-fi gold!

They made her Queen of All Asteroids because they felt sorry for her.

I want to see a gritty reboot of "The Mummy" that uses this version of "Walk Like An Egyptian" in the opening sequence. It should also be used in the trailer.

I went and saw a showing of the old-school 3-D print of Creature From The Black Lagoon at Wakulla Springs, the Florida state park where it was filmed.
