Well, Terminator: Dark Fate is an special case because it is a reboot without a rebooot.

It is not a reboot in that it officially continues the timeline from the two first films, but they turn the plot in order to have a new cast of heroes and
a new enemy, while doing a general plot that is essentially the same as the old films.

It was cheesy. it was campy. it was funny. Exactly what you would expect for that kind of film, and judging it on those merits, it is a quality production for that genre.

It's like judging a breed of dog. You don't judge a rottweiler against a lhasa apso. You judge them against their category, and how well they stand out against films in that category.

Better storyline, better jokes, better acting, better directing.

Alex Winter has been out of the acting game for decades, but I thought he did a spot-on job of playing Bill, just like he did 30 years ago. Keanu was Keanu, and it was great. He Keanu'd the heck out of that role.

The characters are supposed to be dumb, cheesy, and somewhat poorly acted.

Brigette Lundy-Paine and Samara Weaving did bang-up jobs as Bill and Ted's daughters (respectively). They managed to take on the aspects of their respective parents, but not become gender-bent charicatures of them.

I thought Dean Pariscot did an excellent job directing. He also directed Galaxy Quest, which is one of my favorite all-time films.

All in all, I was not disapointed in the least.

It's not free, It's an extra $30 or something on top of your Disney+ subscription. And it's not because things "went poorly" it's because that's how movies are being released now.

Looking forward to the new Bond, Billie Eilish does the theme song, Remi Malek looks AMAZING as the villain.

As for not getting excited about movies. The only thing that hasn't gotten me excited for movies is the fact that my HDTV's Tcom board is failing, and I need to fix it (netflix done killed my tv).

Tenent I still need to see. I enjoyed Bill and Ted 3 (though I thought it not as good as people made it out to be, but I'm glad it's doing well).

I think I mostly miss the popcorn and sticky floors.

I dind't know Disney had Borged Star Trek too. It makes sense. The last I watched had a very PC vibe to it. "We are not military, we are explorers!". Jeeeeeeeesus, that is why Enterprise had shields and a shitton of photonic torpedos and phasers, because they were a pleassure yatch.

Ya, Star Trek was supposed to have that Heinlein vibe. They were explorers, but they needed military disipline to not die in space.

But the PC crowd doesn't like the ideas of discipline (well, not in *this* context) and self-control.

As far as I know, the original Star Trek film had Enterprise be retired because the Federation signed Peace with the Klingons.

My case is settled

For the record, they also had this anti-militaristic vibe in Pacific Rhim. The movie makers wanted to make clear that the heroes were "rangers" and thus they didn't use military ranks. Because movilizing the biggest war machines in human history in order to defeat alien invaders is not what military organizations do.

The movie was fun but god it was B-like plotted.

It's not free, It's an extra $30 or something on top of your Disney+ subscription. And it's not because things "went poorly" it's because that's how movies are being released now.

Last thing I have heard is they removed the 30 usd extra.

I don't know about the ST series, but in the last film of the reboot, they made it very clear that the Enterprise is not a military ship, with Kirk getting angry when such thing was suggested. "We are not going in a military mission" etc etc etc.

I thought the Kelvin movies were fun to watch, but in general, I haven't been a big fan of where they've gone with the reboots and prequels. I liked that they decided to do something more 'current' with the Star Trek universe, with Picard. But I've always thought it would be interesting to see a movie or TV series based on the Enterprise B or C, since we never saw much of those.

I like The Orville too.

Because movilizing the biggest war machines in hu history in order to defeat alien invaders is not what military organizations do.

The movie was fun but god it was B-like plotted.

In the animated series and books there was mention of the Organian Treaty,
and maybe once or twice mentioned on TOS. the Organians upon first contact appeared to be a passive species whose civilization had ceased growing, and ha d no offensive or defensive weapons, nor did they respond to bullying or violence. They were in fact so advanced they no longer needed corporial
bodies or structures to live in, and could wipe out the Federation and
Klingons with a single thought. Funny thing, because they themselves said threats don't resolve anything, however they were able to get the Federation and Klingon Empire to sign a treaty through a threat to wipe them both out.

The Enterprise was not decomissioned due to the treaty. It was out of comission after completing it's five year mission. Between Kirk and Pike,
the Enterprise NCC-1701 had to be over 20 years old. I'm assuming this
based on the 2 part Menagerie episode, where they re-used The Cage footage
to create events from 18 years earlier. The ship was due for a refit.

Imagine being trained at Starfleeet on cutting edge navigation and
engineering systems, then find yourself assigned to a 25 year old vessel that hasn't been refit with modern systems? I had a friend who served on the USS Carl Vinson, and he too had been trained on the latest systems in the late 1980's, then found himself maintaining controls and instrumentation systems installed during the late 1960's. Another buddy studied electronic in the Arm y, and the instructor passed over vacuum tubes because he said the techs
would never see one in the field. The first thing he ran into after AIT was
a tube driven PA system!

Lazenbyhad a good chance to become a greta Bond if he hadn't pissed off the producer by not keeping up his appearance in between films. After his first film he grew his hair out and grew a beard, and wasn't recognizable at press conferences. To originally get the role he went to Connery's barber and
tailor to achieve the look. Since he was a male model before getting into acting, Broccoli was afraid he was gay, and hired prostitutes to
flirt with him at bars to see what he would do. He was getting so much
action, he wished he would've become an actor much sooner!

directed Galaxy Quest, which is one of my favorite all-time films.

I liked hearing from him in the "Galaxy Quest" documentary - he was
brought in after Harold Ramis (if memory serves) dropped out. Having
him leave was a huge red flag and Dean knew he was going into a
situation, but came out swinging.

Sounds like Harold Ramis couldn't work with Tim Allen's comedy. It's
a shame, a Ramis GQ would have been interesting. But, as-is it's a
wonderful film.

Weird, since The Saint was a different character - Roger Moore played
it much more like a traditional Bond.

There's a podcast called James Bonding where a couple of fans talk
about the movies - they talked about the cultural shock they had
trying to update a 60's bond to fit the 70s, which was when Roger
Moore had the role. Think of "Live and Let Die", seeing a middle-aged

I don't think going SJW and campaigning against the biggest percentage of your target audience equals going broke. But it is not good finantially either.

Most people I know didn't use to care much, and I'd say it was safe for a film producer, literary magazine or RPG publisher to inject vast loads of political propaganda. The target audience they were attacking would complain but still buy their products.

Now I am detecting large amounts of people I know personally who is dropping comic series, films, games etc. because they are getting fed up with political propaganda that attempts to demonize them.

I bet many of those franchises are still making a profit. But I also bet they are making LESS of a profit. And an increasing number is gonna make it to red numbers.

I mean, do you really expect that injecting Feminist propaganda in your RPG line, who is bought by white-heterosexual males in their 30s and 40s, won't cause a bit of a problem to the publisher?

By the time they were campaigning against white heterosexual males I had already lost interest in the franchise.

Differ all you want. The numbers don't lie. People enjoy the hell out of those flicks.

I don't think going SJW and campaigning against the biggest percentage of your target audience equals going broke. But it is not good finantially either.

I haven't seen signs of them "campaigning against" white, heterosexual males. I've only seen signs of them trying to include a representation of those who are not white, heterosexual males.

Most people I know didn't use to care much, and I'd say it was safe for a film producer, literary magazine or RPG publisher to inject vast loads of political propaganda. The target audience they were attacking would complain but still buy their products.

The people you know are in the minority. Congratulations, you've been marginalized. How does it feel?

For starters, Black Panther had a big ideologial background according to which whites sucked and owed black people, and such concept was repeated more than once, taken for granted by the main characters, and presented as undeniable truth.

Bonus points because if they had reversed the roles, everybody would have screamed bloody nazism, and rightly so. Imagine if I pop up and write a story about a civilized country of whites who manages to survive the barbarian niggars by hidding so then can't be found, and ensuring niggars can't enter. The movie is racist, is based on racism, it is unapologetic and barely better than Birth of a Nation.


Racism is not good just because your friends are doing the campaigning.

By the way, it looks to me that you are the one who is alone defending your position here, not me, so next time you try to make somebody feel marginalized ensure you are not the marginalized person.

The Marvel flicks have been some of the best, most enjoyable films
I've seen in the last 20 years.

They were. Until Stan Lee died and the films took a Left turn into Woke-ness.

Stan was quite "Woke". He talked extensively about inclusiveness and racism.

It can be a saying. It's obviously not true. Disney films are raking
in the dough.

*Laugh* You need to get your news from something other than Leftie Media. Mulan, for example, tanked at the box office. Disney lost big and has
been losing for quite some time.

It never made it to theaters in the US. It did better in China than Aladdin, and did quite well in Thailand.

Disney+ has not released numbers. So claiming it "Tanked" is your attempt at trying to spin a narritive based on a large number of circumstances.

13 out of the top 20 grosssing films of all time, are
Dinsey flicks.

A quick Google search shows othewise.

You're right, it's 14:

(Top 20 grossing films of all time, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films )

Avengers: Endgame - Disney
Avatar
Titanic
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Disney
Avengers: Infinity War - Disney
Jurassic World
The Lion King - Disney
The Avengers - Disney
Furious 7 - Disney
Frozen II - Disney
Avengers: Age of Ultron - Disney

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Disney
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Frozen - Disney
Beauty and the Beast - Disney
Incredibles 2 - Disney
The Fate of the Furious
Iron Man 3 - Disney

CBS/Viacom is producing more Star Trek, because .. it's
an abject failure and no one's watching it? Yeah, that must be it,
right?

Because Lefties never admit their mistakes and always double down on their bad decisions. That's why "Get Woke, Go Broke" is a fact.

"fact" ? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

With all due respect, you know nothing about me. I could as well have been marginalized due to social circumpstances and have not had a proper childhood.

In which case I would be VERY angry because what passes for justice today is using newspeak or blaming a demographic group I belong to of things I am no responsible off whatsoever, instead of solving real discrimination. You know, the one in which people is harassed or beaten because their parents vote Joe instead of Jack.

Then I'd also point out that being marginalized is the quickest way of killing any fucking compassion you might want to show to anybody, because people are fucking monsters that deserve no compassion at all.

But if that was the case I would not bring it to the Entertainment sub. I'd rather post it as a theoretical scenario.

With Stan or not, it's just too much Marvel to me. There was a moment that it totally dominated the cinema new releases worth considering and hid in shadows anything else you could only discover via online streaming or niche theaters.

After 20+ movies (including tv-shows) I've started perceiving Marvel as Brazilian love-story soap opera kind of thing. Episode 12351, Joe visits a mall and talks about the experience for half of a show...

I stopped going to cinemas when I just got sick of Marvel and Star Wars all together. Netflix and my own dvd collection helped me maintain the feeling that movies are still relevant to inspire with something new

The classics are good, but sometimes you might find yourself wanting to watch something you haven't seen before.
Similarly for music, I've listened to classic rock for a long time, and I have a lot of old favorites, but occasionally I feel like I don't want to listen to something I've listened to possibly hundreds of times already (exaggerating).

Here is the thing, you can buy a 50 or 100 film pack from the black and white era for cheap... lots of Boris Karloff and Bela
Lugosy and company. It will take years to go through such a collection, and you will be watching lots of things you have never

Mel Brooks was on a podcast called "How did this get made?", a
movie podcast. He talked about "Solar Babies", a movie his company
did in 1986. It went from a $5M movie funded by Mel's friends, to
needing an additional $5M from the bank, to Mel putting his house as
collateral for another $5M because of production issues and poor
planning.

It flopped in the theaters, but became a campy cult classic. Mel said
that the movie finally broke even, in 2012 or so.

It's worth finding the podcast episode, Mel Brooks is hilarious in

Everything that Disney touches now, it ruins.

Year ago I purchased a book about Disney's CEO responsible for all these mergers, trying to sell a great leadership story in corporate world to revive the old brand and head it into a new era.

Self promotional biography. I started reading it. I did not have much time for reading lately so 400 pages or so took like forever.

In the middle of that "great" book and a few months later the guy.. the successful guy got fired. Difficult to understand when you were in the book.

But reality check is sad. They've acquired a lot interesting brands but sucked it up to its internal black holed culture to copy cat itself.

I really enjoyed Marvel at the beginning and I was sort of waiting for SW continuation.

Actually I think that is a stated strategy.

Disney has something they call The Vault. They keep ideas there and onl¤y market them once per generation. They will sell Peter Pan for kids today, and then stop marketing it and nearly wipe its existence until enough time has passed. Then they will try to sell it to the new kids, who will regard it as a new thing.

What is painful is they are borging franchises that were no Disney's in the begining and shoehorning them into being apt for new kids.

read some screenplays. they are total garbage. they are poorly written and just a framework for them to build on.

I had a friend who made decent money writing screenplays as a side
hustle. I swear that her strategy was to check as many boxes as
possible to convince a studio to option it just to prevent any legal
action when another script is made into a movie with some of the
elements that my friend put in hers.

It must have worked, she made mid-5 figures writing after dinner.

It was either Dave Gerrold or DC Fontana on the commentary track for the
Start Trek Animated Series box set who mentioned something about turning away viewer authored scripts because of the mess the studio had with people trying to get credit for writing less than original ideas for stories the in house writers already discussed, or have written well before the fan submitted his script.

Totally! I could imagine a fanfic-heavy franchise like Star Trek
getting a ton of submissions. Considering some of the heavyweights
writing for TOS, they wouldn't necessarily need them.

Even though they intentionally avoided fan letters and submissions, there are so many cliches in science fiction and mainstream story telling that someone could easily come up with the same plot independently. That would sure be
hard to fight in court unless the writers had good documentation to mark when and how stories were fleshed out.

Even records like that can be faked or back-dated.

Some time ago I read that one way to prove such submissions is
to send a copy of a script to yourself via register mail - and
NOT open it. Should the claim for original authorship arise
in court, the registered letter if opened by the judge would
help settle the matter.

You make it sound like Disney is old news.. Disney is still around and producing movies.

Disney is old news. They are mainly buying new talent (ex: Pixar, Lucasfilm) for their new movies. Then they force the talented people out and ruin
the genre (ex: Star Wars) and are left with garbage.

I've heard of that. In the movie Game Show, a former contestant proved the ga me show he was on gave out answers by making a copy and mailing them to himsel f to get the postmark.

The majority of TNG's first season was re-writes of leftover scripts and
story ideas from TOS. Some even carried over to the animated series in the early 1970's.
