Star Trek Origins: The Birth of Khan

Dad?

And yet Prodigy handled him wonderfully!

But yeah, not sure lightning strikes twice, especially with the live action track record

Star Trek: Upper Decker

I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel at Starfleet Academy!

Thank you! These are always fantastic. Please keep them up!

Finished season 2 yesterday: wow! Hands down the best run of trek we’ve had in 25 years. Hope Netflix bites on another season or 3

I believe he was referring to the dude who’s appendage was burnt to a crisp. You know, char leg man

Do they not trust that we can remember it’s Star Wars without trotting out the same tired characters?

Poodoo!

Whoosh

But ANH came out 20 years before the prequels, and therefore it’s the prequels that are inconsistent with the established character?

I’ve had it up to here with these missing wigs!

I…have had…enough…of YOU!!

My exact thought: surely they’ll be prosecuted under this law, right? Right?

The Res-erection of Christ

Lucky! I went and all they had was a piece of shitzhu

Yeah, oof indeed

Ass:The Final Frontier

I’m enamored with these old models and techniques. Light And Magic on D+ is a phenomenal retrospective of ILM. Through watching that, I learned recently that the Mandalorian’s ship was, in fact, a physical model. Presumably enhanced and composited using CGI.

Nevertheless, it was a weird realization. There is an old charm to the techniques of the 80s, matte lines and all. Even with the same approach (physical models and motion control), the shots in the Mandalorian just looked too clean, too smooth.

The moral is: it’ll never go back to what it was, and even if it does, it won’t be the same.

Sorry to say, but the “second coming” that is Dave Filoni is a pox on the franchise. He took the worst of Lucas’s indulgent tendencies (world building over character building, crappy dialogue, aiming solely at kids, elevating Campbellian mythology into quackery like midichlorians and space whales) and somehow managed to take over the whole franchise. I simply cannot fathom the loyalty of the fan base to this guy, barring those who grew up with cartoons and the typical misogynistic knee jerk to Kathleen Kennedy. He has churned out 4 series of pure shite

Andor and TLJ were bright spots but I’ve more or less moved on from Star Wars. Let them earn back my interest. In the interim, I’ll continue to slay in the fantastic Dark Forces remaster

It’s the part of the pig that’s best for fryin’, yeehaw!
