Actually, I think its been remade a few times, not just in Star Trek either. I think BS5 and even Stargate regurgitated it. 

way back in the Marvel comics days, issue (I think #24) has a flashback of Obi Wan during the Clone Wars and he is a dapper black suit wearing knight with a goatee, looking like a soldier, not a monk. It was interesting that it was the first ever interpretation of what a Jedi would outfit as, AND he had a personal…

Pretty sure it was probably big news, but we’ve all been Jedi mind-wiped about it while watching Marvel movies. A subtle “there is nothing to see here...move along...”

I saw this movie right after Star Wars in 1979, the end scene with the robot and the water can make me ugly cry in a way few movies I’ve ever been able to make me do since.

Right. if anything, I hope they have a ‘oh so close’ encounter that makes them know they are a durasteel panel apart, but never come face to face. I can deal with some creative angst, but lets not have them SEE eachother, or at least Vader see him, I think I am okay with Obi Wan seeing the monster he has become…

But is it clear?

I know. Sometimes I think people forget he was raised with a good education and a good deal of sophistication, but also experienced the underworld to get in the minds of the criminals he seeks. He, Doc Savage, the Shadow, Zorro, all of them were cut from the same cloth, and the Batman of today lacks those interesting…

why does he have to be dark and brooding? Maybe having a Batman shed dark and brooding a bit to help a kid from going there, and teaching him to catch bad guys can’t be so hard. They did a pretty good job of Dick with The Titans, but I bet they could get away with a little more upswing for him.

Way back in 2001, I did go to Disneyland and do a travel piece with all the amenities covered. So perhaps, I can swing it again...

I can’t believe Tony Stark’s alcoholism rock bottom wasn’t listed. That was epic. I’d take Age of Apocalypse over Secret Wars too. The X-Men’s arc that took them to space the first time, the second time encountering the Brood and coming back to Earth, and Spidey’s the death of Gwen Stacy.

Right? I mean, it started off well, but it couldn’t stick the landing, which is the problem of most of Marvel’s interconnected stories.

So as a journalist covering Upstate New York news with an audience who views Florida/Disney as the go-to escape from the frigid winter hell, who do I talk to  in media relations to do my own story that my family may or may not participate in there? :-D

I have to turn in my Sci-Fi geek card. The fact I needed this article to point out to me Thomas was played by Biggs, and Maggie was Martha is a big fail. I don’t know how I missed that decades and years later. So much shame...

But don’t you think he HAD to do it that way to play up the whole ‘MARTHA? Bullshit? It wouldn’t have worked as well if you didn’t cement it at the beginning. Of course, the Martha thing was lame, so there is that...

Just give it time. When Disney buys Warner, its game over, and Hulks and Grundys will skip in the meadow together holding hands...

haha, I am glad you liked it, and a thumbs up for a speedy recovery!

I have to admit, when I saw the title THE CONTINENTAL, I was so hoping Christopher Walken was making a series of his soooo-#MeToo character from SNL...darn.

Silent Running was one of the biggest ugly cry moments I have had, and will ever have in a movie. That end scene, the robot...damn. This man. This man is the father of R2D2, Wal-E, all of it. Definitely deserves a moment of silence.

I think it goes back further than Claremont on mutants reflecting the racism issue, Lee and company saw that in the mid-60s when they came out, but Claremont was so good with HUMANIZING them, making them relatable to such a degree that the Original X-Men weren’t. God, I miss Claremont’s stamp.

I know it was a little while back, but our realtor wanted us to A) paint everything white (our color scheme was bold, trendy colors) B) put in $30K in updates turning a carport into a garage, and bathroom refresh) and we said no to all of it, and sold it for $20k over the asking price, which was 100k over what we…
