I dislike overuse of CGI as well, but there are fantasy and scifi concepts the show has never explored that cannot be done practically or cheaply. That’s what I tell myself, and I buy it.

That was the glaring issue with SLJ’s de-aging in Captain Marvel as well. The man was in great shape for a 70-year-old but he clearly wasn’t 45 like Nick Fury was supposed to be in the movie.

Because of course the Shat would be all in for de-aging and getting back into ST. This is the guy who wrote his own ST fanfic and made himself so painfully annoying over the top perfect superior to everyone else that you would need a vomit bucket to read it.

What a terrible idea.

dude got bullied off his own site and deleted his account after he started posting weird RFK Jr conspiracy stuff. 

Dorsey… also seemed to call X a “freedom technology” in a tweet on Saturday, warning users to not depend on corporations to grant them rights.

Oh man, that 1998 Zorro movie is fantastic! 

It really annoys me. Why can’t we get a great swash-buckler of a Robin Hood movie, like Mask of Zorro or the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie? 

Described as a “darker reimagining” of the character, Hugh Jackman has the lead role opposite The Bikeriders’ Jodie Comer.

This may be giving too much credit, but I think the author was trying to suggest that Disney kicked off a more regular revisiting of the character?

The (first) Antonio Banderas Zorro movie would be a great template for a Robin Hood film. Contemporary stunts, classic vibes, a more modern awareness of the socio-political climate the character springs from, etc.

In this era of stuntman-to-director, surely there’s someone who loves the old Flynn version who’d like to…

In addition to what you point out, Mel Brooks never player Robin Hood. He directed Cary Elwes as Robin Hood (and played Rabi Tuck)

Our pitch? Jackman’s Robin will reckon with his past life of pulling off crimes with his Merry Men. Now gravely injured and a “battle worn” loner,

I too have a copy of Twister that I purchased when it first came out. It plays fine. I have laserdiscs and none have suffered from any laser rot...yet. That said, I borrowed a Criterion Star Wars laserdisc from a coworker years ago and that I couldn’t even play it because of laser rot. It was sad and he was so bummed…

I’m of the generation who saw Star Wars (I still have a hard time calling it A New Hope) when it premiered. A 10-year-old kid sitting mesmerized in a ratty little small town theater in the summer of ‘77. Fast forward to the summer of ‘99 and I was just as mesmerized by The Phantom Menace. The prequels worked for me.…

Except for pirates. That online community is, and will end up being, the true archivists of media.

Rip. Rip everything. Enjoy and savor your physical media, replace when necessary if possible, and make digital backups of anything and everything you truly want to have access to for as long as possible. Redundant storage across multiple locations is also recommended as it’s only redundant until it’s not.

This has always been the rub in the debate over digital ownership — even when it’s a physical medium, we never truly own it forever. Those of us of a certain age knew this when we replaced our VHS with DVDs, and those who replaced DVDs with Blu-ray. It’s always been temporary.

I mean, you’re correct, but that kind of applies to almost everyone? Save for post-credits teases, we’ve hardly seen anyone twice. Of folks introduced before Phase Four, I think only Fury, Doctor Strange and Wanda. And there are big questions like, who or what ARE The Avengers right now? There’s a lot of things about…

It’s crazy how the MCU sidelined Anthony Mackie’s Captain America during phases 4 and 5.
