There are a lot of stories about notable people from the ancient world, whose stories we know from writings. We've no idea about "the road less traveled". If we didn't have a written language, how much would we know today, if anything, about Hercules or Jesus or King Solomon or King Arthur. If...

Nah. It'd just be another bug hunt.

I don't know. That thread was from 7 years ago, so some of the names no longer apply, depending on what is now considered to be MCU, but a lot of the names listed there still apply.

Not particularly.

It depends on factors beyond just the physical appearance. Frankie Adams never looked to me like what I imagined Bobbie Draper to look like while reading The Expanse novels, but she did a damn fine job of it as the character in the TV series. It also depends on how committed Dever will be to...

I imagine Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster never imagined that a copy of Action Comics #1 that they created in 1938 would go in auction 86 years later for $6M. Hell, even if they imagined that Superman stories would still be told 86 years later, they probably never imagined that there would be...

You might think that it's just people being too passive, but it's just as likely (if not moreso) that people just don't think it's worth the aggravation to get into a yelling match with some random asshole. I also suspect that in these days, part of it is that if you confront someone like that...

Not sure I'd agree with the "too big to fail" remark. "Days of Future Past" was one of the top-ranked X-Men stories in the comics, even as it was 30 years later that it was adapted into the movie. There was a lot of anxiety amongst comics fans that the movie would completely fuck it up. That it...

Jeremy Renner gets no respect.

Aliens gonna alien...

Shout is releasing standalones for Bogus Journey and Face the Music, as well as a Most Triumphant Trilogy set of all three. https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/bill-teds-most-triumphant-trilogy-1989-2020-4k-uhd-combo-available-for-preorder.382936/

Glad to see this get a US release. I never got around to ordering a copy of the British UHD.

This was a Wal-Mart exclusive SteelBook released back in February. So I'm guessing that the exclusivity window is now closed, and Shout is releasing it to the wider market.

It's about freakin' time on the B&T sequels. I wanted to pick up the UHD of Excellent Adventure, but I was hoping we'd eventually get at least a UHD set of the original two, if not all three.

They also managed to squeeze into one of Burnham's lines, "infinite diversity in infinite combinations". I could be (and probably am) wrong, but I think this is the first time that phrase was ever canonically used in any Trek show or movie. For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a...

To be honest, I don't recall if the Fathom showing I saw in 2012 had the intermission or not.

So the other day, I turned on the TV part-way through a local station program called New Hampshire Chronicle, which was in the middle of a story about the artist Robert Childress, who did illustrations for the "Dick & Jane" children's books in the 1950s. The baffling part was that every time --...

It's starts off as just another horrifying satire on social media (and "influencers") addiction, and was thoroughly saved by the ending. (Didn't The Doctor say in "The Last Chord" that there's always a twist at the end? ;) ). But most of all, I have to take back the comment I made in an...

I just started a re-watch of the original series. Finished S1 last night. I'm struck by how much I remembered, and how much I'd forgotten, but not how much I loved the show. I'm looking at this new show as an alternate take on the concept, which really is the only way to deal with reboots and...

Not having watched most of Enterprise, I didn't know who he was supposed to be, or why he mentioned "U.S.S. Enterprise". I had come to the (obviously erroneous) conclusion that he was an agent from the same organization as Gary Seven and Tallinn (then again, maybe they're the same as the...

Oh, the humanity!

I imagine is was less the use of the foul language itself, but the extent of it.

Yeah, I figured that. It was still odd.

Yes, as Kate she was a science nerd. And the "splitting protons" bit is a line from that movie. You should make time to watch it, it's delightful. Anyway, that I said above was what crossed my mind when "The Masterpiece Society" first aired. I think it was the first time I'd seen Dey Young in...

I attended a Fathom Event showing in 2012, around the time the movie was first released on Blu-ray. There was a reasonably-sized audience. Long, long before that, I'd attended a showing of the RAH restoration at the Charles Cinema in Boston, around the time that Criterion released it on LD. It...

So I went to see Furiosa in IMAX. One of the trailers was for D&W. After a couple more trailers, a "Red Band" trailer placard came up, which turned out to be a "silence your phone" PSA. :thumbs-up-smiley: But they still bleeped out the swearing.:huh:

I got back from seeing this in IMAX. Terrific, exciting, energetic film. Is it better than Fury Road? Don't know, and don't care. I like them both, and that's enough for me.

This isn't the actual "A few words about...Lawrence of Arabia" thread. This is the "While we wait for A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia" thread, which seems to be a general thread about whatever is on RAH's mind.

I'm sure I kept the receipt, but at this point, I'm not sure where I bought it, so I'd have to go looking for it.

That was my first thought when looking at the photos. Thanks for the warning.
