    Star Trek: Picard - Season One - CBS All Access - starring Patrick Stewart

    Good lord Adam, i had the same thought, with one thing that I thought really this setup. This could be used to effectively explain why the Enterprise was the first ship to run into the Q. Because of Data. i think there are a lot of interesting possibilities here.

    Star Trek: Picard - Season One - CBS All Access - starring Patrick Stewart

    Am I the only one getting a distinct vibe that part of the reason the Romulan group is so anti-artificial life is going to turn out very much

    Hamilton (2020)

    This is very different from translations like Cats, The Producers, Les Mis, etc. This is just a filming of it as it was performed in the theater. So this is something I don't know if we've seen before quite like this on the big screen. I think that alone makes it exciting and unique and more...

    Star Trek: Picard - Season One - CBS All Access - starring Patrick Stewart

    I love all things Trek - but to me, Deep Space Nine was always the best in storytelling and ideas. For this reason alone, Picard feels like a natural extension. DS9 took on the idea that the universe as a whole wasn't as clear cut as everyone wanted to make it. This storytelling gave us a lot...

    Press Release Disney 4k March 2020 Releases

    I just wonder about the Pixar 4K titles. I even own a few. But these were, to my knowledge, originally rendered digitally in 2k. So, converting them to 4K makes me wonder if they were entirely re-computer rendered, or if this is just a pixel upsampling done. If it is just some sort of...

    Watchmen (HBO) Season One

    I'm beginning to think the prison is on mars. It would explain the creation suddenly getting frozen cold.. he is trying to figure out how to get out onto Mars surface or back to earth, thus the need to survive incredible freezing cold.

    Really good trailer.

    Lion (2016)

    I was in a test audience for this. I later watched the Bluray, and realized the BD was missing at least one scene from the version I watched, early on about their childhood before he got lost on the train. I'm not sure of any real extended cut, but in the test audience, I said that the entire...

    Yesterday (2019)

    I enjoyed it.. until the third act. I did not in any way understand WHY he would need to make that reveal at Wembly? It made absolutely no sense. Others were glad he was bringing the music out, and I thought there were even more possibilities.. Still, I enjoyed it for the music, for the...

    The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

    Premiered today and it looks beautiful. The first episode is a lot of exposition, but damn, the look of this show is unlike anything else I've seen Netflix do... and the storytelling sucked me in right away. This is truly beautiful show.. the best way I can describe it is: Game of Thrones for...

    The Boys (Amazon Prime)

    Yeah, right now I'm overwhelmed. Between Orange is the New Black coming back and finishing up Handmaid's Tale, starting Veronica Mars S4.. too much on right now. But, I watched the first three episodes today, and I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it. Will definitely keep circling back.

    The 100 (Season 6)

    I thought this was a pretty unique trapped in mind episode because the series has set up the digital download of personalities and that for three years now, and asking questions about how that works is definitely interesting.

    Toy Story 4 (Pixar) (2019)

    Thanks all :) yeah, May was rough; but thank goodness this wasn't "The Art of Racing in the Rain" which is later this summer.. because that book is WAY too real and if they do a halfway decent job of it, that movie is going to kill me. Still, loved the book.

    Yesterday (2019)

    Yeah, I saw the concept and thought: I am so, 100% in. This is a film that will be a joy for me if for only the music.. but how it concludes the storyline seems to be a factor.. and that may be one where it is: great concept, hard to finish. But I'm eager and ready

    Toy Story 4 (Pixar) (2019)

    I found the underlying storyline to be very deep and well realized.. and it was one that as an adult, really hit me. Admittedly, the moment I realized where Woody was going to go, I nearly broke down in tears in the theater. Admittedly, there are a few films this summer I'm figuring are going...

    The Good Fight (CBS All Access)

    I'm not sure I understand what is meant by time cutback, are they going to air it on broadcast?

    When They See Us

    This series has been praised by the documentary makers, lawyers and advocates for the portrayal of the Central Park 5, a group of young men charged and convicted of a crime they would later be exonerated of committing. Really really well done. The acting in this series should win awards.

    Designated Survivor (ABC>Netflix)

    I thought everything to do with the election storyline was just a disaster. Maybe it's because I have spent a lot of time working in those environments but it seemed so ridiculous and unreal that I just couldn't get past it. In the end my biggest problem was just a nitpick I was like: WHAT

    Blu-ray Review Backdraft 2 Blu-ray Review

    This is one of those films where I enjoyed the original, and this sequel is SO SO BAD. I bought it in 4k BD assuming the fire effects if nothing else would be great, and the fire effects are TERRIBLE. Being in 4k they look so much worse. It is clear that they are done in post as is mentioned...

    Toy Story 4 (Pixar) (2019)

    90 reviews now. Still 100%. Yeah, this is going to be good. I admit, for me, the original 3 films had some incredible moments about big issues. But Toy Story 2 (Outgrowing someone/something) in "When She Loved Me" and in TS3, as the toys accepted fate and held hands... forget animated films...

    Dune: The Sisterhood

    There is Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse Dune (original) they could use to flesh this out but.. yeah. I'm betting they use the horrific prequels, of which I read through part of one and bailed completely

    Black Mirror Season 5

    I thought "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" was such a great commentary on why acts that are just "positive all the time" give people a false sense of reality. I thought making every single one of Ashley O's songs only slight covers/alters of Nine Inch Nails numbers - just the reverse - was such a...

    Black Mirror Season 5

    These are pretty incredible; I enjoyed all three.. I know people get unhappy with a 3 episode season. But I would take 3 great episodes over more that were mediocre. These were really well done science fiction.

    The Good Fight (CBS All Access)

    Very true assessment above. Look, let's be clear.. without breaking the political rule of this forum.. this show is VERY political with a very specific bent. Either it's going to work for you or you're going to grit your teeth. But, if this show matches your political viewpoint, it is quite...
