Louis Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 There's no Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn though. I think the name Jyn Erso is a tip of the hat to Jan Ors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Looks better than Force Awakens. i will be interested to see it. i was very critical of the Force Awakens when i first saw it. Story was point blank the same thing as return of the jedi, same way they kill the death star, when kylo ren sees Finn not killing people at the begining and looks at him and just walks away, that made no sense. vader would have killed that trooper "you dare defy my orders" or something. Han Solo dying was a big surprise (kudos to disney), and the whole luke is gone thing was cool too. but some things were just too "coincidence". the lightsaber being at the outpost they stop at just one of them. also how did they just start the millenium falcon up? like the key was in the ignition and someone just left it? no way. at least have them have to hotwire it or something. but i watched it again last night (now out on video) and just enjoyed it for a fun sci fi flick. i need that mindset going into Rogue one as well otherwise i'll compare it to the others and tear it apart.

MikeO Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Saw the second episode of "Undercover" last night; enjoying that, clever stuff. Watched the first few parts of "People vs OJ Simpson" and it's quite well done but knowing the ending and how annoyed it'd make me (all over again) I gave up. Can remember during the actual trial it was commonly said that there were only two facts that you needed to know. 1. He did it. 2. He'll be found not guilty. Both turned out to be accurate.

Lowensda Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Doctor Strange trailer. I was hoping for so much more. I wasn't taken by it. Looks too close to The Last Airbender than something Marvel would do. Hopefully future trailers have a better appeal. Separate note: Sony have confirmed a Men in Black / Jump Street crossover. Which sounds epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they don't make a hash of it (DS) as he's one of my favourite characters and Cumberbatch is a great actor IMO so it could or should be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read all the Potter books (first three or four I read to Josh when he was little, I actually clicked that Snape would turn out to be a good guy virtually from the beginning*smug*) and saw all the movies and mostly enjoyed them; just unsure whether this is a good idea or whether it would have been best left alone. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. ah gotcha. i think most fans liked them so much they want more (wife and myself included). but you're right, everyone is cautious as to how she does them and if she ruins them or re-hashes similar themes.

Lowensda Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Desperately dislike Harry Potter, never got into it. Technically, it's 'my generation'. All my friends LOVE it. I cannot stand it. However, Fantastic Beasts and where to find them, actually looks half decent. Edited April 14, 2016 by Lowensda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 onto the end of series 2 on dexter - hooked. Great series. My thoughts on characters.... Dexter - ace. Love it when he acts all soft and throws in some great digs or headbutts. Mad English sculpter - seriously fit His sister - just plain annoying His girlfriend Rita - annoying Doakes - seriously in love with himself 9whats the Cher nose all about) - but plays a good character Asian colleague Vince- funny funny man Lt Maria - hated her to start, got something about her.... is that wrong? Batista - lose the hat, annoy me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, there's nothing about this that you can read to her. The book is just like an encyclopaedia of magical creatures, and this film is basically about how Scamander travelled around the world to learn about these animals for his book.

Finn balor Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Watched batman v superman and thought it was pretty much filler and cg overload at the end. Zootropilis was amazing really enjoyed it and jungle book was top drawer as well. Looking forward to capt America Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Started to watch Dirty Grampa earlier only got twenty mins in before the little girl came downstairs (not kid friendly) so had to begrudgingly turn it off, very funny so far definitely looks like a decent comedy from the little I've seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
