Absolutely love the Logitech M570 trackball. My favorite.

At this point, I’d only consider it if the films were in 4k.

Splinter was also written under specific constraints: It was intended as a treatment for a low-budget sequel to Star Wars if the first film only did fair box office. So: No Han, Chewie or Milennium Falcon, no space battles, all the action takes place on an exceedingly dull mist-shrouded planet that would be easy to…

I haven’t read the TFA novelization, but to be fair, novelizations can be really tough to do well. In order to be released along with the movie, they have to be written well in advance, so the author usually has an earlier version of the script and often sees no footage.

You are absolutely correct. That’s the only reason it’s not done that way nation-wide.

Did they even market this? I was somewhat interested in checking it out...then suddenly I was seeing reviews.

That’s what I thought...took me a moment to place the name.

We have a winner!

I also agree that the ‘98 film wasn’t too bad. It suffered from severe overhype -- a few days before release, New Line was boasting about how they expected it to do well enough to spawn a franchise of at least a trilogy. It also seems like they spent a ton of budget at the beginning of the film and suffered for it…

Actually, I like the premise. I wish they didn’t have to name-check Oliver Twist, and could just run with the idea, but that’s how you get a series commitment, I guess.

And DVRs so you can fast-forward through ads. The nightly news is just about the only program I ever watch live anymore.

I only watched the movie in its entirety recently. It feels like it’s aching to deliver some kind of message, but it never quite manages. Do the tourists deserve their fate for wanting to behave immorally with no consequences? Are the park creators evil for playing God? Are the robots actually sentient creatures who…

The I, Robot film was originally a screenplay titled Hardwired that had no connection to Asimov’s works. The studio decided to turn it into an “Asimov film” by adding elements from his books.

In the opening of CA:CW, Widow tries to tase him and gets a big No Sale. Then he tells her, “I don’t work that way no more.”

Makes me think of Vincent DiFate, but I think it predates the start of his professional career by a couple of years.

Wasn’t this the premise of Congo?

I loved Wash. If I could be anyone in Firefly, it would be Wash. I felt physical pain when Wash died in Serenity.

I’m telling you, the color of the energy matters. It seems that blue glows versus green glows indicate a difference - at this point I’d say that green ghosts are under control of the big bad, and and are a bigger threat.

My son's response: "I see they're still stereotyping yellow and pink as 'girl colors'."

When did we start defining our nerdiness by what we hate, and not by what we love?
