He definitely kills way more people than most had guys. Vapourising a planet is usually the master plan which the hero prevents in the last reel. Tarkin achieves it half way through the film without even raising his voice. No fuss, no cringeworthy monologues. “That’s the galaxy successfully cowed into submission, now f…

Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars?

Kirk is definitely not a cowboy. His reputation for being a womanizing maverick who makes rash decisions came about long after the TV show. There were a few episodes where Star Fleet sends a dick admiral just for the Enterprise to have some internal conflict - Kirk looks insubordinate because the admiral is obviously w…

Picard will find someone carrying a mug of Earl Grey (hot), and follow them around with a big, dopey grin on his face.

Sigh. What did you guys do *this* time...?

You think Lynch’s Dune feels like it was made to be a commercial success? It may be many, many things, but that does not feel like one of them.

“This article will most likely lead to Tran hunting Vogt Roberts down.”

“And a flashlight. Poop and a flashlight.”

My girlfriend said the same thing the first time we had sex.

“The Last Jedi just came to Netflix, which makes it a fine time to revisit the finer points of the best Star Wars movie of the past, oh, two decades.”

“Is it that weird to think “how do you make a living?” is an awful thing to start a conversation with? Like 7% of people find their job enjoyable and fulfilling. For most people it’s not that far off “what did your last pet die of?” or “when was the last time you went to hospital?””

Yeah, playing rugby is pretty much synonymous with drinking culture here, far more than football/soccer. I could definitely see a non-drinker struggling to fit in with a rugby club.

I’m a Brit who rarely drinks alcohol socially, and I’ve never had any crap about it. People assume you’re the designated driver, or an alcoholic.

Parsecs FTW.

“the problem with him getting out of the sarlacc pit is that what motivation could he possibly have other than to kill luke skywalker & co? he doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy to go ‘well fair enough, i lost fair and square, time to get back to bounty hunting!’”

Jeremy Bulloch or GTFO.

“Also one doesn’t need to have “fun” acting in a thing for the product to be good either (Aliens 3 comes to mind, and if you don’t think it was good, fight me)“

“Throughout Alien3 those deaths just served to remind us that there is no one in the film’s cast—not Tyrion Lannister’s dad, not Roc, not any of the Mad Max reject jailbirds—that we cared about as much as we cared for even a relatively unsympathetic character like Lieutenant Gorman in the previous film, or any member…

In Edge of Tomorrow, Emily Blunt’s character has already been through many iterations of the timeloop herself. He has his introductory patter practiced so well that he knows exactly how to convince her in the fastest way that he is experiencing what she has already experienced, and therefore it isn’t quite as weird as…

Highlander beats Flash Gordon in every single category, not least for the best Queen soundtrack. To be fair, Highlander/It’s a Kind of Magic beats probably every other film soundtrack anyway.
