Alden Ehrenreich is signed up to play Han Solo in three movies (though they need not be filmed of course): Vanity Fair

Cheaters. Now that Swedish public service has stopped showing the news in the early morning, one must find something to watch to the coffee...

The Last Jedi was released on Blu-Ray last Monday. I posted this elsewhere, and I was a bit hesitant to repost it here, but these are some of my beefs and nitpicks with the movie (I've consolidated it and added a few things). I haven't gone out of my way to find things to complain about, but I comp...

Early in Disney's announcement they were having 3 stand alone movies and now they have 6 in development. Since Solo is just over a month away, there has been little talk of what the last of the originals stand alone. I wonder if this idea for a Obi Wan has been abandoned by Disney or if it is being...

Saw the film Tuesday afternoon, as soon as I could clear time to spin the disc. I have six or seven pages of notes I'm working up into a proper post for the proper thread. If anyone is interested. If not, well, that's cool, too. 6-7 pages?!?!? Eagerly awaiting your essay. I think it should arrive s...

This went COMPLETELY below my radar... The creators of the television version of Game of Thrones , David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, are to write and produce a series of Star Wars movies separate from the Saga movies and the trilogy that Rian Johnson is going to create. Lucasfilm's press release on the ...

A few episodes of Star Trek: Voyager on Netflix.

Breakfast (coffee with sandwiches and mandarin juice).

The Last Jedi. D (and then I'm generous).

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...

Jon Favreau will executive produce and write the live-action Star Wars television series that will debut on Disney's own streaming platform according to a press release on StarWars.com: Jon Favreau to Executive Produce and Write Live-Action Star Wars Series The director of Iron Man and The Jungle Bo...

Welcome, MrHondo! Don't forget to check your hat at the entrance!

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...
