The Galactic Senate

A few episodes of The Big Bang Theory.

Looking at that pic, it looks like it folds out (on all sides) from a circular shape. The inside looks like all Imperial / 1st Order large ships / planet killers. Does this mean it is another Starkiller base, so keeps in the tradition of the rebuilding, what is destroyed in the 1st of the trilogy? ...

JJ Abrams to direct Episode IX SIGH. http://variety.com/2017/film/news/j-j-abrams-star-wars-episode-ix-director-colin-trevorrow-1202548094/ They should've held onto that decision until after TLJ released. If VIII gets high positive feedback, then give it to Rian Johnson. Apparently, Rian was asked ...

JJ Abrams to direct Episode IX

SIGH.

http://variety.com/2017/film/news/j-j-a ... 202548094/

BIG SIGH!

I had hoped anyone BUT Jar Jar Abrams.

Mean Girls Coming to America.

Well, two scenes were poorly re-edited: The chase after Zam and the Yoda vs Dooku duel. Shots were rearranged (and now makes little sense), but the music wasn't so it's chopped up. Guess who hasn't watched their Prequel Blu-Rays at all :laugh: :laugh: Seriously though, that sounds terrible. It is. ...

The OS has announced that Colin Trevorrow is no longer directing Ep 9. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting he clashed with Kathleen Kennedy over the script. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/colin-trevorrow-as-director-star-wars-episode-ix-1035463 And I'm sure even more people will be ha...

What I don't like is the surprisingly amateurish recut of the movie as released on Blu-Ray...

Recut????

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere ... :P Seriously, I really like Attack of the Clones . When I first saw it in theater in 2002, I was pleasantly surprised as I really didn't like TPM. Much has been said about the dialogue, but the dialogue isn't an impo...

Season 7 finale of Game of Thrones . Leaves them in a good position for the final 6 episodes. Glad they cleaned up some dangling things, and set up resolutions for others. The chess board feels appropriately manned for the last run. That was one of the major talking points at work. I haven't watche...

Thanks, gents.


Semester starts Monday, and for the first time ever, I am not at all looking forward to it.

So sorry to hear!

Flapjacks.

Considering other movie franchises (Marvel & DC) these days are releasing more than one movie in a year, LFL isn't milking the cow excessively. I think Disney are scared of new stories as the sequels perceived as a poorer product to the OT. A rehash of ANH (TFA) broke records so this assures Disney...

Oh, I didn't question Disney milking the cow, I questioned whether Disney is milking too much out of it oversaturating the market which might lead to a decrease in quality. If there indeed are more stand-alones planned, I would want to see them going into other directions. EDIT: I agree with the sen...

Sometimes They Come Back in the Heat of the Night.

According to The Hollywood Reporter , Stephen Daldry is in talks to direct an as-of-yet untitled Obi-Wan Kenobi stand-alone movie. It's rumored to be an origin story, dealing with Obi-Wan's life before joining the Jedi Order. While nothing has been officially announced yet, and it might take some ti...

Variety reports that in addition to the stand-alone Obi-Wan Kenobi-movie, it's rumored to be a Boba Fett movie and a Jabba the Hutt story in the works. Heck, it's also rumored that a Yoda movie is being considered. If this is indeed true, it does seem to me that Disney is milking the cow to a too l...

This thread is for general discussion about the stand-alone Star Wars movies. For specific discussion, use the relevant thread.

Yes, especially during the writer's strike during the second season (when they had to resort to polishing up old Star Trek: Phase II scripts), but they're sprinkled throughout... I didn't realize a writer's strike had affected things. Yes, it was the '88 Writers Guild of America strike. The episode...

That's just a coincidence, right? A playset that just happens to resemble the Death Star...: CelebLiveTV

I watched a few episodes of the remastered Star Trek: The Next Generation on Netflix. I had forgotten how many bad episodes there were... Especially early on. Yes, especially during the writer's strike during the second season (when they had to resort to polishing up old Star Trek: Phase II scripts...

RMS Olympic: Titanic's Sister (second edition) by Mark Chirnside. I've been an Olympic -class buff for nearly 30 years and the second edition of Chirnside's book about the eldest of the three ships of the Olympic-class ( Olympic , Titanic and Britannic ) was a good primer. The career of RMS Olympic...

Barkeep - fill 'er up and keep 'em coming.
Last year was tough, and this year's shaping up to be worse.

Sorry to hear that! Barkeep, make her a double!

A few episodes of the first season of Big Bang Theory on DVD.

Yes, but the last episode isn't fully canon (well, at least not in the Kelvinverse). Otherwise, I agree. I don't think Enterprise was that bad. And I do like the first version of the theme song (the second is awful). I'm considering picking up the Enterprise box set at some point when its at a dece...

I found a quote from Kasdan in an old issue of Empire (#122) confirming he was asked: When he asked me to write the new one, I turned him down. I can't wait to see it though. I'm like everyone else. I think he said at some point he felt Star Wars should just be George's thing and that's why he said...

Colin Trevorrow is out as writer for Episode IX and has been replaced by Jack Thorne. Trevorrow is still set to direct the movie: THR: 'Star Wars: Episode IX' Gets a New Writer (Exclusive)

I'm sure a lot of people will be very happy about this.

Yes, I'm sure of that.
