@BadNewsMorgans @RomanShackles @RetroMoviesDB I actually really enjoyed ToD. It's got its flaws, but it'll always be a lazy Sunday afternoon movie for me. I can't think of any movie that's flawless, but that's just my opinion. I thought Scott Pilgrim was a bag of moose cocks, but plenty of people would disagree with me.

@Stevens90_2718 @bstonercpa @RetroMoviesDB I can't think of a single film that doesn't have flaws somewhere. It's easy to roast other people's opinions - but I don't recall the OP asking us to do that. What's your no. 1 trilogy?

@CBarrett47 @Stevens90_2718 @bstonercpa @RetroMoviesDB Oh hush now. OP didn't ask us to roast people's choices. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, why not give us yours? Personally, I love Nolan's Batman trilogy as well, and TLotR. Not so keen on The Hobbit trilogy, I thought it was too much of a stretch for 3 films.

@BestMovieMom The thing I love about this scene is that Vader really isn't trying. He's so casual about everything. Flicking away with his lightsaber and casually hurling stuff at Luke. You genuinely feel that he's just toying with Luke. This is a guy who can keep a starship from taking off.

George Lucas was so worried about "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) being a failure that he self-funded the entire movie. He took out a massive bank loan against his own property to maintain total creative control from the studios.

@SphereChaser @IanBurke156 @TheMekon_Venus ...and has been seen as a few different things on screen, like a Circus truck ("Terror of the Autons") a statue ("The Keeper of Traken"), a Grandfather clock ("Keeper of Traken" again, and "The Deadly Assassin"), and a Doric column ("Logopolis", "Castrovalva", "Time Flight).

@SphereChaser @IanBurke156 @TheMekon_Venus It got "stuck" as a Police Box after the Doctor landed in London in 1963. There's been a few episodes where the Doctor tries to fix it, but he's never managed to. The Master on the other hand, his TARDIS has a working Chameleon Circuit...

It’s rare we get to see anything of the TARDIS past the control room. But it’s cool when we do. Albeit a bit of a galafrey liminal space. I always wonder does the doctor ever sleep in any of these rooms?

@VideoGameHstry I had one of these, region unlocked, I got it from Play Asia back in the day. My ex sold it. Now when I look at eBay and how much they're worth I don't know whether to cry because I no longer have it, or laugh. Amazing machine, really wish I still had it. Sigh.

@PJW6466 @creepydotorg I'm with you on this one. LEGO is the company name, their product is LEGO bricks, pieces, or sets, not "LEGOs". Yeah, I know, I should just "LEGO" of it, and I know it's irrational, and in the grand scheme of things it's a nothing, but it just annoys me.

@jump_drive_flyr @TheMekon_Venus Yup, the dreaded "Twenty on Titan" judgement. The Titan penal colony required inmates to be surgically "enhanced" because of the atmosphere, but I guess they couldn't do that to Assante's Rico Dredd 😆.

@TheMekon_Venus There were some good aspects, the ABC warrior, the Angel Gang, the times he actually kept the helmet on..the outfit, gun and bike looked ok but I don't recall there being a penal place in the comics, the "hacker" character I wasn't keen on either but in general an ok film

When this came out.. Stallone was one of the most bankable movie stars in the world. They were never gonna make a Stallone movie with him covering his face all the time. But that’s what the character calls for… and a dark gritty tone. It’s not a terrible movie.. but it does feel they missed the point of the comics. Or are there any huge fans of this incarnation?

@TheMekon_Venus I really hope so. Dredd has so much great material- we should've had a 2000ad universe by now.

Confession: I wrote a novel. Hard sci-fi. First in a trilogy. There is an AI. There are two planets. There are mushrooms. I’m not explaining the mushrooms. I’ve spent my career around complex systems and wild ecosystems. Eventually I wrote one. THE DISRUPTION. Out April 7. Pre-orders feed the algorithms and mean a lot for a debut. Thank you.
