I am mystified why Brian DePalma’s The Fury (based on the novel by John Farris) hasn’t been remade because not only would the movie benefit from a more timely interpretation (in these days of government programs we often don’t completely understand, but fear a reboot could potentially find a very receptive audience) and a more […]
Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Teaser Trailer 3 I’ve included the teaser trailer for the upcoming third trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens partally because I still think it’s particularly douchy to make the trailer the event, as opposed to the movie. After all, we’re talking about Star Wars here. The hype for […]
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Gerry Anderson, it could be argued, was one of the first producers of science fiction to see what a tremendous role hardware design, such as spaceships, could play. In virtually all his television series and movies, design has been crucial (more often than not, to the detriment of character development). In fact, the Eagle from Space: 1999, […]
I was thinking that I don’t particularly care about the upcoming Star Wars prequels, till I saw the crashed Star Destroyer in the desert…now I am getting a bit jazzed. Then there were the melty Darth Vader helmet (which looked like it was gone over a bit too much), new-style Stormtroopers, and various Jedi. I’m […]
I was a HUGE Heroes fan. For awhile I made it my business to catch every episode, though because of the writer’s strike and some ill-conceived creative decisions (why destroy The Company? That’s like Star Wars getting rid of the Empire. Sure you could do it, but would you really want to?) Combined with a plot that […]
I admit it, I shat the bed, figuratively speaking. When I saw the trailer below, I assumed that it was for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming Star Wars sequel, The Force Awakens, and should have known better. Why? Because a huge clue was staring me right in the face the entire time, which I have posted just below. […]
Let me being by saying that I am not a huge fan of J.J. Abrams (and I still think the subtitle, The Force Awakens. is pretty weak). He’s talented, but feels relatively passionless to me. He also efficient–he finished Star Wars: The Force Awakens almost disconcertingly quick–but I am not sure I am feeling the love. […]
Truth be told, I am neither a huge Star Wars fan (beyond the first film and its sequel, The Empire Strikes Back) nor too interested in J.J. Abrams as a director (way too many lens flares). That being said when video of the Millennium Falcon is posted, you repost it. Because “when you’re nose to nose […]
Honestly, I have no clue. Sure, I have ideas (and who doesn’t?) though you have to keep in mind that when I wrote that I thought that Robert Stromberg’s Maleficent was doomed to failure a few months ago that my reasoning was, for the most part, based on logic. The “for the most part” is that I don’t […]
