Fate of the Forceious

There's thanks not only to Cushing but a separate thanks to his estate in the credits so it looks like it was done with full permission

To be fair, Kirk was plenty guilty of that himself once Admiralised.

Would you say we blew it… up? As maniacs might well do?

Let's not forget South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut which I feel is still underrated. It's much smarter than most give it credit for.

I might be in the minority but I thought James Newton Howard did a great job on the King Kong soundtrack in a similar length of time. His action elements (the T-Rex fight and the Empire State finale) and the more emotional pieces of the score (the ice-skating scene) are both equally strong.

I think Wreck-It Ralph 2 may beat it to that title as it already has a release date set. (And that's if we're not counting Fantasia 2000, though I can see the difference with that one).

Agreed 100%. It's odd that the OP used Ghostbusters 2 as an example (at all), let alone when Gremlins 2 was right there.

You're right, she had him when she wa 13.

There was this, pre-election.

Here in the UK, 24 had a show called Pure 24 that aired after every episode of season 2. It seemed bizarre back then but I guess it was just ahead of its time.

Arrival V: Don't Give Me That White Zone Shit, Again.

No, there's that scene in Revenge of the Sith too.

She didn't have the daughter to save the day (I don't remember her factoring into that part at all - she saw her simply because she had started to see the future. The Chinese phone call and the visions of her understanding the language saved the day). She had her because she was her daughter and she loved her.

Definitely Daddy. It made the line for me.

He still had a cameo, in one of the police station scenes. That's him in the corner.
