Dunkirk was really well made and had an amazing score (because of course it did, Hans Zimmer), but honestly I'm not sure if the gimmick it uses really helps or hurts the movie. I know people that hated it even after they figured out what the gently caress is going on. Kind of afraid Tenet is going to have the same problem.

1917 finally hits theaters near me in another week. Looking forward to that one.

I mean I liked Wonder Woman, it was clearly the best thing that happened in the DCEU at that point but let's not pretend that the third act of that movie wasn't a nightmare

Parts of the original negative were allegedly destroyed but yeah the work Criterion does renders anything else I may have espoused hilariously incorrect.

And that was only ANH. The other two were always fine, which makes things like the fact that the blu ray release of ROTJ (and I assume d+ version, would have to check) has an entire section that was scanned out of focus and then they tried to fix it by applying a sharpness filter.

I thought the original version of Star Wars wasn�t in the Library of Congress because they wanted to archive that version and Lucas wouldn�t release it.

quote:

While both STAR WARS (1977) and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980) are on the National Film Registry, the Library has not yet acquired new prints of either one. When the request was made for STAR WARS, Lucasfilm offered us the Special Edition version. The offer was declined as this was obviously not the version that had been selected for the Registry. We have not yet requested a print of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, added to the Registry late last year.

The Library of Congress does hold the original release versions of STAR WARS, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI, but these 35mm prints were acquired as copyright deposits in March 1978, October 1980, and June 1983 respectively. All three are classified as archival masters and as such cannot be accessed for viewing/research. The existing condition reports for STAR WARS and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (there is no report for RETURN OF THE JEDI) indicate that the former has minor scratches but is in good shape overall, while the latter has extreme color fading. We also have an additional 35mm print of the original STAR WARS (received June 1979) with English subtitles for the deaf.

If you have any further questions, you are welcome to contact Lynanne Schweighofer, our Preservation Specialist and in-house Star Wars expert, at < mailto:lysc@loc.gov >.

Last Jedi has some good original songs like Rose's theme but ROS was so bankrupt for new material that there were out of context music beats from Attack of the Clones playing at points and Yoda's theme was their films version of Yub Nub when they're celebrating.

I wonder how much of this was intentional and how much of it was "oh god they keep making changes how do I score this thing". You know, the same reason that James Horner's score for Aliens had a bunch of recycled beats from Star Trek Wrath of Khan.

I feel like I'm the only one who hates the modern incarnations of Harley Quinn. Ever since they made her have hot pants and pigtails and made her start murdering people (so grim, so DARK), the character seems seems annoying as poo poo. But that's DC for you.

Also people love that stupid toss a coin to your witcher song but it just felt like the writers were trying especially hard to make a meme. Other than that the show has been good from what I've seen. :shrug:

I'm ok with her being independent, that's a good move. I just don't like her costume and the fact that she sets bombs across the city and blows up random people in their houses on a comic they released on an anniversary of 9/11 (lol), and ties up and rapes nightwing in some animated movie. Basically just the standard oh so edgy DC poo poo.

From a costuming and attitude perspective, they've also got this thing with trying to make their villains (or at least HQ and the Joker) into being really white trash and I don't understand it. Whatever floats people's boats I guess.

Apparently the director they got for the next Star Trek movie (Noah Hawley) said "Action, in and of itself, isn�t that interesting" and that he wants it to be conceptual and intellectual, and I want to get my hopes up but I have been hurt so many times before.

The new show is different from its predecessor in nearly every respect � texture, tone, format, production value, even the likelihood of characters dropping an f-bomb. That�s all by design. Stewart�s design.

�He is uninterested in repeating himself,� says Alex Kurtzman, the show�s creator and executive producer, and the mastermind behind CBS� effort to not just revive �Star Trek� but also transform it into a vast narrative universe in the Marvel mold. �Everything he does is filled with innate integrity.

This is a great interview, he's 100% right that they have to move on from the soft colonialism and neoliberal lens of TNG, but you need good, smart and young writers to do that, not the people who wrote Batman Forever, Xena: Warrior Princess and the Transformers movies. There's no way they couldn't find good modern sci-fi writers to work with such a high profile property, they simply didn't even try.

I actually don't even have a problem with a story about an influx of what used to be a hated enemy of the federation now being refugees (because we're bound by the dumb "supernova that was going to destroy half the galaxy" drek from ST09), it's just that I have absolutely no confidence that they are going to do it in any way competently. TNG was already beginning to have stories about how kicking people off their planets and exploring those themes. Everything post Voyager is just an excuse to show things we know and spaceship battles.

Star Trek was always a show about optimism. The Motion Picture literally had the tagline of "the human adventure is just beginning". TOS showing a unified humanity in the middle of the cold war. Wars and scandal happened during TNG's production as well, so I don't understand that "oh well now we have Trump so we have to make the show darker", especially since it's built into the Star Trek timeline that humanity had a drat nuclear war before first contact made humanity come together.

It's funny, I never really thought about it but in Star Trek 2009 they had McCoy say the line "space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence" and clearly that's how they view the world of Star Trek now.

Star Fox would be a really retarded movie and would bring out all the furries in droves. It would be threadbare on plot and be almost nonsensical.

The Dark Knight Returns is a really interesting take on the series and is pretty neat but man I hate how it has ruined modern DC films because they can't get over how how grimdark it is and how every hero needs to be like that.

The most annoying thing about how Yoda talks is that between Return of the Jedi and the prequels, they forgot how to write how he actually talks and made him talk like a caricature of how he talked. In Empire he says things like "Strong is Vader. Mind what you have learned. Save you it can." and then the prequels went full on "oh he talks backwards" and he ended up saying garbage like "Around the survivors a perimeter create".

Bah

Picard isn't canon no matter how much they insist it is, it's "Prime" + "Klevin" off shoot. STD is Prime and they plan to link up with Picard in some way. Everything since 2009 is it's own thing. OG canon still ends at Nemesis. I fully expect future non-JJ Trek to purge any influence, completely ignoring it even with crossovers.

Curious how this will work because they had canon books and even Star Trek Online was part of canon in some ways (or at least followed it at first, and they rules about what they could use which is why Captain Data and the Ent-F weren�t ever around). But this show blew that out with the Data thing unless they do a plot twist later.

I don't think many people gives a gently caress about ST Online. How many mentions of it anywhere have you heard? This is as far as I know the first time anybody has mentioned it itt. Mike either isn't aware or gives a poo poo about it either. None of the books are canon as 99% were never written to be and are unreconcilable. Shatner's series alone is so out there you would be throwing up blood for even trying. The ones that are "canon" are only to JJtrek.

If OG ST ever comes back it has absolutely no need to acknowledge JJTrek nor would CBS/Viacom/showrunner want to as that opens a can of legal worms rather pointlessly. There is a reason why JJ trek is so "Different" beyond the hack frauds.

I mean that's fair but if CBS/Viacom are playing canon as "eh it's fine we can change it whenever" than that's kind of worse than even how Star Wars is doing things. All I know is that in that game, some books, and I think a tie in comic book they both had (a) B4 becoming Data and Data being the captain of the Enterprise and (b) the stupid "supernova that was going to destroy half the galaxy (???)" in the Prime universe. A is good. B is obviously not. It's a bummer that Picard kept B and threw out A but if they are playing this fast and loose with their canon, than I guess you are right that it doesn't matter.

I'm not even against Obi-Wan doing stuff, because in episode 4 it's established that people know who he is and just leave him alone. The "oh god we have to be in absolute hiding" is only episode III claptrap. But if they are going to do "he has to help 8 year old Luke on an adventure" then it probably is better off left in the can.

Man, Sylar is looking swole

quote:

CBS/Viacom aren't playing the SW canon game. JJ Trek isn't OG canon connected. It's built into the licensing agreement. The lie is calling JJTrek "Prime" to confuse it with OG. One part was the split TV/Movie rights. The other was merchandise. JJ basically wanted to pinch the OG merchandise but CBS told him to gently caress off as they aren't that dumb. So JJ had to make his own version under an alternate license if he wanted to profit on merchandise. However JJ trek doesn't move merchandise. It's so bad the merchandising companies noped before STD started which continues to this day. OG merchandise is still selling well and none of that goes to JJ. JJ trek is such a mess Netflix got the gently caress out and Amazon got conned into Picard. Now the distribution rights to JJ is all over the place.

I'm legitimately confused. So is Picard not part of the original agreement? I thought that was done by CBS? If it's not connected to Bad Robot then why are they pulling in the timeline stuff from JJTrek?
