    Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

    Not to go all "lore nerd" here, but that was actually Vader's choice as was revealed in Charles Soule's excellent 2017 Vader comic series.

    Star Wars Resistance Season 1 (2018-19)

    I love the setting. The fuel station in the middle of nowhere seems rife with interesting story potential. I love all the new ship designs. They look quite Star Wars-y. I hate the main character, but hopefully we'll see some growth from him soon. The bottom line is that it's Star Wars so...

    The Steven Spielberg Thread

    Spielberg has been my favorite director ever since Ben Gardner's head came floating out of his ruined boat and scared the bejeezus out of me as a youngster. Jaws is my favorite movie of all time, Raiders is just about perfect in every respect, the opening night viewing of Saving Private Ryan is...

    *** Official The Hateful Eight Review Thread

    I saw it last night. Still trying to formulate my thoughts, but I'm pretty sure it will end up as one of my favorite Tarantino flicks. The ensemble cast is excellent, with Walton Goggins stealing the show. The runtime seems long, but for me the movie moved at a good pace, even if most of that...

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars- Season One

    Order 66: In the event of Jedi officers acting against the interests of the Republic, and after receiving specific orders verified as coming directly from the Supreme Commander (Chancellor), GAR commanders will remove those officers by lethal force, and command of the GAR will revert to the...

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars- Season One

    I just got through reading the Order 66 Republic Commando novel, and I'm pretty sure that the order was not "hypnotically imprinted" or anything like that. Some of the soldiers were just more inclined to follow orders than others. I highly recommend all of the Republic Commando books. They...

    The address on the package indicated that it was shipped from Neenah, WI, which is less than 50 miles north of me.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Framing Issue

    Wow! Filled out the online form and submitted my address yesterday, and got a corrected disc today. That is service (it helps to be within 50 miles of the distribution location as well). :) Thanks for taking care of this issue Disney!

    HTF BLU_RAY REVIEW: Pixar Short Films Collection - Volume 1

    I had this issue the first time I put in the disc, but after a shutdown/restart the disc loaded fine. Like the other two pixar discs, there were a couple of seconds of loading screen followed by the menu.

    How good is a PlayStation 3 as a DVD player?

    If your 12% off coupon is the same as mine, it explicitly excludes new videogame hardware and Blu-ray players. :frowning:

    Goddamn, I hate that if you subscribe to a thread and get posts sent as email that it strips out the spoiler tags....

    Deadwood: Season Three

    I'd say it had more to do with Hearst's men seeing the gun in her hand and trying to stop her before she got a chance to shoot Hearst than a possible ID.

    Deadwood: Season Three

    It's interesting to see how Al treats Langrishe differently from the rest of his crew (and the rest of the camp for that matter). He treats Langrishe as an equal and even smiles once in a while. It would suggest that Langrishe is not the "dandy" he appears to be and is just as tough as Al...

    The Transformers: The Movie (1986) 20th Anniversary DVD

    I still have the Transformers: The Movie soundtrack on vinyl somewhere. That got a lot of play when I was a kid. :)

    Raiders of the Lost Ark 25th Anniversary

    My biggest beef with Last Crusade is the way Sallah and Marcus are turned into bumbling idiots. The filmmakers should have just used different characters because the Sallah and Marcus in Last Crusade bear no resemblance to the great characters in Raiders. Last Crusade is also a much softer...

    Raiders of the Lost Ark 25th Anniversary

    I was five or so upon release and my parents took me to see it at a late showing at the local theater. I loved every minute of it. The climax of the film scared the everloving shit out of me, but I was always the kind of kid that loved to be scared. Raiders is still one of my favorites to...

    Thief - New Andre Braugher Show

    I caught the replay Friday night and I wasn't overly impressed. I think the potential is there, so I'll keep watching. I admit that my opinion may have been clouded by the friggin' commercial breaks every 5 minutes. I realize that they have to pay the bills, but come on...

    SOPRANOS Season 6: Season Finally!!!.. Episode 12: "KAISHA"

    The other sister has always been there, but she hasn't had a big role. I think they switched actresses after the first season.

    R.I.P Darren McGavin

    I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I remember him best as Schwarzenegger's mentor in Raw Deal. This flick is one of my favorite guilty pleasures, and McGavin is teriffic in an over-the-top, scenery-chewing way. He will be missed.

    Alien vs. Predator 2 in the works

    I just watched the original AvP last night. I didn't hate it, but my expectations may have been tempered to the point where I couldn't hate it. I was hoping for another Freddy vs. Jason (a match up a lot of fans wanted, a great concept and a competent director). Fox got the first one right...

    A Few Words About A few words about... The Wild Bunch

    I discovered this great film with Warner's restoration in college ('95 or so?), and thanks to this new DVD I re-discovered it last night. A true American classic.
