The Galactic Senate

Judge Judy.

One thing TLJ (and also TFA) proves is that masks puppetry isn't always better than CG: The Canto Bight scene features the worst masks and puppetry ever shown in a Star Wars movie... Heck, some of the designs are more in line with Men in Black than Star Wars.

Anson Mount joins the cast of Star Trek: Discovery as Captain Christopher Pike: TrekCore

I bought it on Wednesday here in the states and I haven't felt an urgency to watch the film itself, which I found very strange, considering I only saw it once in theaters and knew it required multiple viewings for me to get a real good handle on it. That bothers me....hell, I watched the extremely ...

Coffee with a cookie.

Meryl Streep as Princess Leia? Thanks, but no thanks...

BBC News: Star Wars fans want Meryl Streep to play Princess Leia

The Eiger Sanction (1975). Clint Eastwood's worst movie. The only upside is that John Williams made the soundtrack which has a few memorable bars. D+

Don't be shy, Tesla!

And the last episode of the season was a rush job... There were a few episodes I liked, but overall the series is... uneven is a kind word for it. They should have set it at least 50 years after Voyager instead. Yeah. I thought the series found more stable footing in the middle with episodes 5 thro...

Haven't gotten around to it... I'll probably pick it up as an ebook.

I've been watching some of Star Trek: Voyager on Netflix. I really didn't like the show when it was aired on Swedish public service, but I liked some of the characters and I stuck to it. One of the best things with streaming is that you can skip episodes you don't like (and with Voyager there are qu...

Yes, thanks Pep! I've corrected the post.

My problem with that is that I see Artoo and Chewie having as much of an emotional connection, if not more, and just didn't buy into Luke brushing off those two, but then responding to a couple minutes of basic, obvious truths from Yoda. I'd have preferred if they dropped the Yoda scene, and earlie...

Is this still a thing? Is RJ still doing a trilogy?

Yes, I haven't heard anything to the contrary. There has been a few articles as late as last month with speculation on what it might contain.

Hmm... You might be correct, SS...

It (2017). We have an expression in Swedish (it's not that old and I understand it has started to spread to the U.S. as well): Fjortis . While it comes from the age of 14 (the number, 14, is fjorton in Swedish), it's a derogatory word for immature teens. I would describe It as a fjortis horror movi...

I don't like the look of the actor playing Han Solo.

Ah, yes: Sham Faux-lo.

Yes, and he looks too old.

No, I thought so too.

Unimpressed. I don't like the look of the actor playing Han Solo. Let's see how it turns out...

Hmmph that was forgettable, I guess we’ll get the full trailer tomorrow.

Yes, it says so at the end.

Agreed Magnus, if there isn't one, I'd say that's a hint and a half that they are behind schedule for that May release date. How long have we been seeing trailers/ads for Black Panther? More than three months time... Oh and if it is just a typo on the Mibban thing, then I hope it is the Planet with...

Jedidad, I think it's a pretty safe bet!

When I said Yoda's appearance, I meant that he was in the film. I did think he looked slightly off but that was never my big issue with him. I wonder if the mould had been affected by age for it to change the look of the puppet. Of course, I know that! My main point was to further what you said abo...

Yoda's appearance was one of the things that felt out of place and written by someone who hadn't watched the OT. And it was "crazy" Yoda that he used as a test for Luke. Yoda did not act that way before or since. And the puppet looked awful and nothing like either in the OT or PT. People involved w...

Discovery was just meh before the season break, but I gotta say, this show is officially off the chain now. Been hearing a lot of people hate these new twists, but I'm all on board. This isn't a spoiler thread, so I need to be vague, but I can't say that any of the major revelations were surprising...

I've been watching Vikings on HBO. I was surprised that Ragnar Lodbrok is the main character, although much liberty has been taken with the old stories. In the stories, Ragnar was the son of a Swedish king, Sigurd Ring, and not a peasant. The stories were also set many decades earlier than the show....
