One of my kids was reading this for school here in Spring, and so we watched the Brannagh version. I tried to explain to them that the most “Household name actor” in the movie at the time it was released was the guy playing Dogberry. I’m not sure how successful I was. The wife and I were also DYING at how bad Keanu…

Nope. Nope, not happening for me. Mrs. Copperpot is a librarian and brought the manga home for us to read together, and I am still scarred nearly 20 years later. It isn’t easy to combine both psychological and body horror, but that book does it, and I want no further part of it. And that’s all I have to say about that.

I was thinking something similar yesterday. I really enjoy watching Solo, as the look and feel are just really great “Star Wars”. I would love to see the Qi’Ra/Maul storyline intersect with Enfys Nest’s fledgling rebels (with Saw Gurera maybe?).

Just give me the Brunchbitch spin-off series.

Captain Killy? Well, that’s just lazy ;)

If memory serves, if was a combo - she didn’t want to be pigeon-holed as a “sci-fi” actor, but there was also some kind of scheduling conflict. I think that was right around the time that ‘Kalifornia’ came out, so she may have been filming that? Wow, haven’t thought of that movie in years - I wonder if it holds up?

Um, ‘heavy’ is kind of Pixar’s brand. ‘Up’, ‘Inside Out’ and ‘Coco’ all have some genuinely traumatizing sequences, and even Onward is heavy thematically. Pixar is very good at tackling various heavy topics in a manner that both kids and adults can digest. A spoonful of sugar, if you will...

Mosh! Hostile!

I also wonder just how close the timelines are to the new Prodigy cartoon. 800 years after Picard can’t be too far off from 930 years after Disco’s era (I might have those numbers wrong).

Oh, God! I tried, I really tried to do an Andromeda re-watch sometime last fall, I think. I got about 15 minutes into the first ep before realizing how incredibly bad it was. I had no memory of so much hamming-up, scenery chewing the acting was around the horrible CGI. Yeesh.

So, like New Comic Book day, but for Star Trek? Quality could become an issue, but who am I trying to kid - I’d watch them all...

This is your official notification that I am totally stealing Homo Sapiens Redcolli. Thank you for your cooperation.

I generally stay away from astrology as much as possible nowadays, but I’m often uncomfortable at how much my personality is so very, very, very CANCER. Moody? Check. Introverted? Check. Creative, but afraid to show off that side of myself? I like to think ‘Check’. Plus, it’s a water sign, and I am rarely more content…

Thank you. They were like little chunks of cardboard flavored with Splenda and ass...

I need ALL of the DJ-R3X merch, so that is likely to be my first Black Series purchase. Goddess help me, but I know it won’t be the last...

In context, ‘poodoo’ pretty obviously means dung. ‘Bantha poodoo’ seems like it could indicate either the horrifying slops the Tusken’s feed them, or the stuff that comes out once it’s digested. It seems odd that this wasn’t updated when George put in a whole new song and dance number for Jabba’s palace.

Well.... dammit

Resistance got MUCH stronger in the second season, so I’m cautiously optimistic. If it’s in the same time-frame as Fallen Order (a.ka. ‘my Jedi keeps falling off cliffs’), then there is a lot of territory to explore. If they are working as mercs, then Filoni could adapt that last Boba Fett/Cad Bane story he teased a…

The wife and I just watched MI 2 & 3 for the first time over the weekend. The script for MI:2 was god-awful, but Woo’s visual style saved the movie itself from being just as awful (one of his gifts as a director). I still found it more entertaining than 3, and a lot of that credit goes to Thandie Newton. Neither movie …

I agree with you about everything except Hard Target. I love that movie un-ashamedly. Lance Henrikson, Arnold Vosloo and Wilford Brimley take it from being a ho-hum action vehicle for Van Damme to something so much more than the sum of its parts. My buddies and I STILL throw quotes from that movie back and forth. And…
