FYI, Jake Sisko is Kenny Lofton’s nephew. Yes that Kenny Lofton.

Pretty much every Vulcan we have met up to this point in Star Trek was pretty much all right.

As a baseball fan, I loved that Sisko had a passion for the sport. Even if the notion it’s a dusty relic of the past made me a little sad.

Came here for this. ;)

True. Would have been appropriate even if recent news had not come to light.

But now it’s both appropriate and timely.

When they say gender neutral it puts me off watching it.

I thought Elmer Bernstein did a great job with the original.

Yeah, I’m out.

I would have said that the biggest mistake is the utter disregard it has for the characters, or the overall attempt to “kiddi-fy” the franchise. But that works too.

No, that’s his son.

I thought Nicholson was a straight up, scary psychopath in the first movie. I wouldn’t call it “hammy,” just f’ing scary crazy.

Wasn’t there a whole “Red Skull wears makeup” thing? I didn’t understand that. Still lots of time and hassle for the actor, but ruins the classic character look.

Catwoman is supposed to be liquid sex in a body suit. Eartha Kitt and Michelle Pfeiffer are the 2 that have totally pulled it off.

I remember reading that Burton was skeptical about Keaton but immediately sold once he put the mask on.

As other examples, Ghostbusters 2 and Clue are somehow regarded as classic by the internet nowadays but I remember seeing those in the theater and thinking, “man, these movies are marginal at best.”

The only bit I did like is in that first clip, the shot of Batman floating down surrounded by bats, and only because it looked like they copied this poster, which I had on my wall at the time.

Yeah, I think the main issue with TMNT series isn’t that they grow weirder over time; it’s more that they seem to grow sillier (and usually more juvenile) over time. The Ghostbusters franchise went through a similar trajectory in the 80s; by the time The Real Ghostbusters ended, it was more of a straight cartoon.

That’s my problem with most Marvel movies and Star Wars. They are all so high stakes that everything feels overblown. More micro level one-offs would be better.

Holy shit - a Charles Band adaptation of Doctor Strange?

That’s because he sees himself as a good guy. Or at the very least, he’s the hero of his own story.
