Six hours? I watched both the NatGeo feature documentary and Howard’s Thirteen Lives. The documentary is better but they are both well edited and not overly long. I have zero interest in watching this stretch out to six hours. Nobody would. And I don’t know if this limited series actually acknowledges that without the…

Will they object that the ISS Commander on duty is a woman?

But will they object that there are women, and professionals too, on board?

Shouldn’t miniaturization of circuity be on the list too?

Got it.

Fantastic Voyage, you mean?

The last thing Star Trek: Picard season two was is cinematic. The visual effects of The Orville were much better than what Picard was stuck with. Hope his promise isn’t just bullshit.

All these years (since Titanic) I’ve wondered why there is so much hatred for James Cameron. Is it because he’s Canadian? Why are people in 2022 nitpicking Aliens and Terminator 2 as if they weren’t the successful hits they’ve always been? I know, it’s because of the bloody internet, right?

Being prolific means success? Of the last few movies directed by Steven Spielberg, I only saw Bridge of Spies and Ready Player One. Zero interest in the other ones after 2011's Tin Tin. In the moviemaking business, success is measured in box office earnings.

It was only a teaser trailer to let us know the movie exists. The trailers will let us know what’s it about.

Agreed. Blade Runner had cultural impact back when it was released and continues to do so. Its sequel, beloved by many (not me), had zero cultural impact, but we don’t have articles bemoaning this.

“Very few toys on the shelves, quotes in the lexicon, and only a smattering of extremely brave cosplayers”... If you’re using these to measure of success, then Denis Villeneuve’s Dune completely fails your own test, despite being a movie that you and many others have championed.

Worse things have happened in real life, several hundred years in the past and even last week in 2022, so the violence of a fictitious TV show doesn’t bother me. It’s meant to be shocking, and it works.

House of the Dragon is more watchable than Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power, which is of course slowly building up to a cliffhanging season finale.

It’s not as if movies stop making money after ten years.

I am. Should be much better and enjoyable than lots of other crappy movies I’ve seen in the cinema, like Rise of Skywalker, Doctor Strange 2, etc.

He’s right. Why would studios execs ever question him? Are they bringing home the dough?

It would be good to know how long ago they shot their final episode. Weeks? Months? Years?

She must need a new bonkers story every time she gets interviewed about this movie.

Well worth it. What a great cast. Hoping it doesn’t end with some cliffhanger.
