The first two films were solid reenergizers to a franchise that has brought so many positive social and inspirational themes.

The third one was also good. But seemed to focus more on the action and not as focused on the the traditional themes. But I still appreciate it nonetheless.

There were many aspects of the films that I liked; the cast, new continuity etc, but in hindsight the Abrams movies have not aged well for me. JJ is just seeing how much he can blow up in as little time as possible with little regard for story. Entertaining, perhaps. A fun night out, sure. They don't hold a candle to the original films in heart and story, IMHO. Now get off my lawn!

I actually like the third one the best as it gets back to Star Trek roots. Not flawless but serviceable.

An iconic scene from 'Being There'.

Sorry for any repeats, they are pretty obvious. Sometimes they get blanked out because of copyright in Canada, so I do see a lot of 'video not available' screens.

The entire film really

Not to take away anything from ticket sales but here in Ontario, the latest restriction is on food snd drinks because of omicron. Without those sales, theatres are still going to be hurting.

And fifth, I don't really care which movie makes the most money and which movie has the bigger set of gonads or whatever. And fans who want quality storytelling shouldn't either. For me, I don't want to see the same thing over and over again to the point of spinning wheels. Exploring growth and new heroes in this expanding universe should be the direction, not making nothing but Thor and Iron Man and Spiderman movies over and over and over again.

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night screaming, in a cold sweat, because in the dream you just woke from you really didn't like the latest MCU film all that much.

Ended up seeing this Monday night in Imax. Pretty busy as well. 

This is a beautiful, beautiful movie, on so many levels. The soundtrack is really starting to penetrate my memory. Something to be experienced.

What a wonderful person! 

I’ve said many times that i’m tired of comic book movies but despite that, there have been some great movies, and many more that were very entertaining in the genre. Unfortunately there have also been those with potential that succumbed to the limits of the genre (i.e. the bad and unnecessary cgi fight scene).

I’m definitely more of a comic book and movie fan than a comic book movie fan and l think the hardest part to stomach with comic book movies is reboots and origins. If l have to hear ‘with great power comes yada yada yada’, one more time l feel I may get some great power and act irresponsibly with it!

The potential is there for good movies in all genres and no one really tires of a good movie.

I have seen this film 3 times now and not since the Lord of the Rings has a movie made me feel the need to see it again. Saw it at a theatre this time as I really wanted to see the amazing visuals on the big screen but more I wanted to feel the wondrous sounds. Things like the dragonfly ships flying to the thunderous music, then a few drum beats are added and then it merges seamlessly to the sounds of the wings. Just amazing use of sound/music. Perhaps it is a nod to the use of sound ala the weirding way?  

Best movie I have seen in years.

Same here for me! Had to go right back and watch it again. Definitely going to try to see this in Imax if I can

Late to the party on this movie as I have avoided all talk or previews.

All I can say is wow! As a Dune fan, as a fan of the 'cinema', wow. I wish I knew what it could be like to see a movie like this without being at all familiar with the source material. Great film that found it's own voice - no easy task. Can't wait for part 2.

All of the Star Trek TV series have had something to offer and have many excellent episodes imho. I think I've said it before (not that anyone cares) but Star Trek the Motion Picture is easily the best of the Trek movies so much so that it is a great movie in it's own right outside of the genre. The rest of the Trek movies are very good as well with 2-4 being a great little run. ST5 the Final Frontier is a bit terrible and Undiscovered Country a welcome redemption. TNG movies all good. I don't consider the JJ Abrams movies part of the canon though they are entertaining enough, more like action movies than sci-fi but man Abrams reboots are pretty tired at this point and they don't hold up to the originals at all.

I love Star Wars as well. Does one need to be any better than the other? When either have their moments, they are amazing. That holds for a lot of other stuff as well.

Merry Christmas All!

Does anyone else prefer it when a sales thread is restricted to say, 8 pages or 72 hours of steady listing then closed and another starts if the seller has more?

 

I'd like a think about having a limit imposed, or a definate stop time to a thread and when to get a new one started.

 

An 80 page thread running over 3 months (not aiming at anyone particular, just an example scenario) doesn't persuade me to go through it, then find a book  I wanted is sold 21 pages later.

 

The other thing:

 

List books one at a time with prices - I can tell you now - an opening post with 30 book titles, grades and prices, does not tempt me to scroll through the next 3 pages of pics, go back, check the price, go back again...etc etc  

 

Some threads are now very long and very messy - and costing them sales.  

 

I don't mind a long sales thread as long as the seller keeps an up to date recap with working links to pages that's fairly easy to navigate. Otherwise, I can't be bothered to look through an unorganized cacophony long out of date. I don't think we need a rule but it is certainly in a sellers best interest to make their thread manageable and easy to use otherwise it's as you say, 'costing them sales'.

I'm with you in that I prefer one book or lot per post, with sold prices remaining intact. Again, I don't think it should be a rule but sales will go to sellers who give you clear pictures or scans, clear information and as much information as possible about the condition of the books.

One reason I would be against a rule for the thread length being restricted is that a well run thread serves as a record or what sold and to whom and for how much and there have been many well run long threads.

Maybe we need an example or template (tips on how to run a lengthy sales thread) to point new comers in the right direction, maybe some links to some past sales threads that are well done.

I had the same reaction, underwhelming, but I realize great trailers can end in finally disappointing movies, and vice versa, so we'll wait and see. I do so want it not to suck, but its material that almost begs to be overworked, as a production, and that is usually what kills these kinds of movies. 

I’m hoping for a slower paced movie in the mold of Lawrence of Arabia.

Ok, haven't been following this movie at all because, well I've never been a Dune fan, but is Oscar Isaacs becoming the new Sam Jackson in that he is in every damn movie that is coming out?

He has been around quite a bit, hasn't he. If we leave out Star Wars - not that he was bad or anything - I think he is quite good in everything he does. I look forward to his take on Duke Leto.

I haven't seen Sicario, but if Dune 2.0 is anything like Arrival and Blade Runner 2.0, does that mean it will be deep and beautiful, but kinda boring?

 

I'll take deep, beautiful and boring any day of the week!

I like the trailer but I patiently await the movie. Seems faithful to source material from the little I can see.

I like Pink Floyd but found it a distraction. I want to hear the Hans Zimmer soundtrack, not Pink Floyd. 

I look forward to what Denis Villeneuve brings to the table.

I watched the trailer again. I’m 100% onboard with this muscle car Batmobile, and will need to purchase many toy versions of it. 

That caught my eye as well. Looked pretty cool.
