Haha, I feel ya, Carlos. I definitely feel ya. Have ya seen the new Kylo Ren TIE ADVANCED yet? I am not sure if the new ships will ever eclipse the old, but TIEs are darn sexy regardless of the modifications.... I won't post this ship because it would be a spoiler. This reminds me: must start working on the X-Wing....Stikpusher wrote:At the moment? All the time!

Re: Research.
No, I sure haven't seen that new TIE. I try to avoid stuff that gives away upcoming new Star Wars tidbits so I can be properly surprised when I see the films in the theater.

Looking forward to the next installment of the Star Wars franchise. Will it be a December 2017 release?

Hi John! The Last Jedi's release date is December 15, 2017, which is also when the SWGB ends. I am looking forward to episode eight as well! I look forward to every science fiction movie that is made. Whether or not I am able to move past what is essentially what George Lucas called "a retro" approach to the original trilogy is debatable. I was not a fan of Looper, either, also by Rian Johnson.jkim wrote:Looking forward to the next installment of the Star Wars franchise. Will it be a December 2017 release?

Re: Research.
Quite frankly I liked the idea, and the play of Gordon-Levitt and Mrs. Blunt was solid. But Jesus, what's wrong with Bruce Willis? If you don't like your job anymore, just quit. That was hands down his worst performance ever.speedgraflex wrote:(...) I was not a fan of Looper, either, also by Rian Johnson.
Looking forward to Luc Besson's "Valerian".

Re: Research.
Torben, I liked Emily Blunt in that Tom Cruise movie with the terrible title, and that Benicio Del Toro movie with the strange title... she costarred in "Better off" or is it "Edge of Tomorrow?" and starred in the movie with Del Toro (nice chap, lives in my neighborhood). Besides the "Die Hard" series and "Pulp Fiction," I know Willis has done much that is mediocre, which is a shame. edit... what was the superhero film M. Night Shyamalan made with him?? "Unbreakable." Also, what was the one before that which made Shyamalan's career? I feel as though I am missing something superlative he has made... ah, well. I saw "Looper" on its opening weekend at the Arclight Pasadena, with all the bells and whistles because I really really really wanted to like it, but it lacked... story. I was reminded why "Blade Runner" is an amazing film, and "Looper" reminded me of Wim Wenders' "Until the end of the world," which is both beautiful and pointless... also Wong Kar Wai's "2046," to an extant, in terms of aesthetics... forgive me! I'm looking forward to "Valerian." I watched "The Fifth Element" yet again and was reminded of how Spielberg-influenced it was (the little boy falling asleep with the mirror, repeat, wake up, sleep, wake up, sleep, wake up, sleep, "Aziz! Light!").
John, looking forward to Tom Hardy in a smallish yet crucial part in "Dunkirk," but I refuse to see any more IMAX presentations after seeing "The Revenant." Something about the audio mix just doesn't work for me... and there will be EXPLOSIONS going off!! Please enjoy, though. I'm just overly sensitive and critical at the moment.
Don't take me too too seriously...
