    Future "A Star Wars Story" Spin-off Films Reportedly Put on Hold by Disney/LucasFilm

    How about when dealing with a movie series you actually have it planned out beforehand and pick directors that will actually hold to that storytelling. While I zoned out during TFA (because it's basically a retelling of ANH), JJ did actually set up a lot of plot points - points that were...

    Elementary Season 6

    I'm hopeful as well. I'm guessing at this point it'd come down to Ifans' availability/desire and their willingness to pay.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I dunno; I think Anthony Ingruber's' pseudo audition and the fact that he'd already played a younger version of a Ford character would have made that segment a lot smaller.

    Marvel's Luke Cage (Netflix) Season 2 - June 22

    10 episodes in. I'm really enjoying it. Like it better than the first season; seems like the story has moved along nicely and has the right amount of action. Only the 9th episode, I think, seemed to drag, but it explained a lot of backstory, so it was needed I guess. Seems like they saw...

    Elementary Season 6

    Yeah, that sucks. It was the 9th episode; makes me believe that since initially they had a shorter order that hey believed this was the last hurrah and they were tying up some loose ends.

    Future "A Star Wars Story" Spin-off Films Reportedly Put on Hold by Disney/LucasFilm

    What, exactly, would an Obi-Wan movie look like? I mean, from Episode 3 we learn that he immediately goes off to Tatooine to be in exile/hiding and to watch over Luke. Would the movie take place entirely on Tatooine, or would he sneak off to have some grand adventure, jeopardizing his freedom...

    Press Release Doctor Who: The Complete Eleventh Season (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    It's probably to try to capitalize on all the new fans they believe they're bringing in. Would be interesting to hear what the number is, if they ever release it.

    Elementary Season 6

    Actually, he was taking some badly needed time off; Joan kept on the case. I wonder if changes were made to that episode with season 6 originally only having around 13 episodes? Could it be that they did a few reshoots once they got a full season pickup and so Michael had to 'go away' for awhile?

    Now let's hope they parlay that into more 'M' - Moriarity, Mycroft and Morland!

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    TFA was bad because it provides fans with exactly the same story as A New Hope, with a Mary Sue in the lead. TLJ was a bad story all around - subplots that went nowhere, illogical major plot points and the complete mishandling of iconic characters. Actually, it makes a lot of sense. Because...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    You may, ultimately, be right, but I wouldn't discount a backlash's effect quite so much. To get the gaudy numbers that a Star Wars or Marvel movie tends to get you need repeat viewers. You tick off said repeat viewers and you'd be lucky to get them once. I've been down on Disney's Star Wars...

    Harvey Weinstein allegations; who's next when it comes to allegations?

    I want to state upfront that I'm not speaking about Hoffman at all, and I know nothing about 16 allegations against Freeman. I am specifically talking about one and only one. This one -...

    Marvel's Luke Cage (Netflix) Season 2 - June 22

    And who found the first Punisher season to be a slog; I think it actually transcended the comic book show genre. But to each their own, I guess. As far as Iron Fist, I thought his portrayal was immature; I think he has real potential if they mature the character and make him more humorous and...

    Elementary Season 6

    I liked it as well. Also, I was able to buy the season from Vudu, so if I miss it on Monday (still think it needs to be on Thursday night) I can catch it at my leisure.

    That's great to hear. I knew from the first episode that i wasn't going to pace this out. Very compelling!

    I couldn't help myself; have already watched 4 episodes. Will probably watch the rest in the next couple of days.

    Jessica Jones Season 2

    I always enjoy reading Adam's posts - he has a deep way of looking at things. That said, however, I have to disagree. I found season 2 to be a slog to get through; I rank it, in terms of the Marvel Netflix shows, at the bottom, along with Iron Fist,. There was bound to be some letdown, when...

    Olivia De Havilland Can move forward with her lawsuit against FX Network

    The little bit I've read on this, I agree with Adam's assessment. While I definitely am not in favor of stifling free speech, unless I hear/read anything to the contrary, I'm with her on this. I don't think that filmmakers should have to get everyone's permission to do a biopic, but they...

    Elementary Season 6

    Hear hear! I also wonder if Vudu will allow a person to buy the season prior to it starting, like they did with season 5, so if I happen to forget to watch, I can just go back and watch it (granted; a person could just go to CBS.com and watch, but I own all the other seasons, so I'll buy this...

    Rick and, I think, Glen did it in season 1 to avoid a herd of zombies.

    Jessica Jones Season 2

    I'm about halfway through and it looks like it's finally picking up. I watched the first episode then took a break while I binged season 2 of Sneaky Pete on Amazon - now that's a show that could do with a thread... :) I know that this is the character, and I know that this is exactly how...

    The Orville - Season 1

    My bad; guess I need to rewatch because I thought I remembered at the time thinking, "Well, this is just a throwaway episode; nothing happens", and then thinking that that did.

    Marvel's Defenders (Netflix)

    For me, the biggest problem was that it came right in the middle of Game of Thrones' season when things were getting epic and on par with theatrical releases. I mean, The Defenders was SUPPOSED to be The Avengers for the Netflix Marvel shows and the quality paled so much in relation to GoT that...

    New Star Wars Trilogy Announced (Rian Johnson)

    I can agree with your assessment ('more unlearning than learning') to a point. The problem is that of the 3, it's more likely Rey would have the hardest time 'unlearning'; both Anakin and Luke knew about the Jedi. For Anakin they were in full force. He was a young boy when he started, and...

    Star Wars Episode VIII "The Last Jedi" Coming December 15, 2017

    As pointed out in the video that MielR posted, there's a difference between IV and VII - VI! We know that at the end of RoTJ, the Empire is defeated. Yet, somehow within 30 years everything is back to the way it was in ANH? Why? It's nice that one could find out what happened between VI and...

    Star Wars Episode VIII "The Last Jedi" Coming December 15, 2017

    One thought would be to have Finn(?) and maybe Poe(?) walking through a Resistance base and the camera stopping on, essentially, an elementary class getting a history lesson on what happened between VI and VII. Wouldn't have taken more than a couple of minutes, and heck, they could have tossed...

    Star Wars Episode VIII "The Last Jedi" Coming December 15, 2017

    Right, but some explanation on what happened between VI and VII was in order. While I'm sure plenty of people read those books that told the history, a lot of us didn't. A little exposition could have gone a long way to explain what Josh mentioned - that the Empire was fractured, but pockets...
