  1. GoT quiz. Got 78/80. Should have been 79 but one of the questions is wrong. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/quiz/2015/apr/11/game-of-thrones-quiz
  2. Good review. Agree with most of that. I totally saw that last spoiler. Even picked up a couple of copies of the book that it happens in for a quick flip though i didn't want it to happen.
  3. I'm not going to post any spoilers but I had a lot of issues with the tone and pacing. It's a very different film to Infinity War to the point it's hard to believe they were written and directed by the same people and filmed at the same time. The humor was all over the place and just way too much. Some of the running jokes were ridiculous. Sometimes they get it about right like GotG and Ragnarok and other times It's just forced like Thor TDW Guardians 2. Neither was I happy with some of the character arcs or how much of a diversion it takes from the source material or the reasons for these decisions. It also left me fearing for what the future holds for the MCU. Oh and don't get me started about the plot holes. Don't get me wrong it has some good moments and action scenes. I definitely need to watch it again but first impressions were not good
  4. Endgame was not at all what i expected but everything i feared.
  5. No more paypal in 2023? https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/service-and-payments/managed-payments-on-ebay.html
  6. So sad. What makes it worse is what has happened to him over the past year or so. How he was used by associates, the number of thefts from his accounts and all the #metoo stories in the press which made me wonder if this contributed to his passing.
  7. This show was truly amazing. It started slow and because it was animated it was often overlooked but the depth of the characters and great stories made it possibly the best Star Wars after from the original trilogy.
  8. Are the covers reused? The Bats and Supes look familiar but not 100% sure.
  9. Would have prefered a sequel show 200 years after GoT. Sick of prequels and i fear it'll never live up to the series that GRRM has been working on since 1991. That being said I will watch anything set in Westoros.
  10. Force her out. Her mismanagement has been a calamity. A Star Wars movie doing this badly, not to mention one that cost $300m is not what Disney anticipated when paying $4 Billion. Yes the previous 3 were a huge (financial) success but lets face it - Anyone in Hollywood could have delivered those numbers with the pent up demand for Star Wars in 2015, especially for Luke, Han and Leia returning. Just look at her record 2013 Michael Arndt was hired to write the sequel trilogy but was fired and replaced. 2015 Josh Trank was hired to develop a Boba Fett movie and then fired after Fantastic Four was released. 2016 Gareth Edwards directed Rogue One but was replaced by Tony Gilroy for extensive reshoots. 2017 After 2 years working on it, Colin Trevorrow was fired from IX because of the poor reviews the Book of Henry recieved. 2017 Lord and Miller were a couple of weeks from finishing Solo before being fired. 85% of the film was reshot by Ron Howard which resulted in it being one of the most expensive films ever made. This is without even getting into the fallout from The Last Jedi and her decision to give Rian Johnson a new TRILOGY two weeks before the most divisve Star Wars film was released or her own personal agenda she has been pushing for Star Wars.
  11. space sci-fi just isn't popular in that part of the world. The only exception being Japan where Star Wars is big. On the other hand China is crazy for Iron Man especially.
  12. Kathleen Kennedy won't be around for much longer. I think after IX she will be gone
  13. FWIW The source is the Daily Mail. A British paper at the absolute depths of the gutter press so take it with a sack of salt. But even the #metoo movement has to have a Stan Lee cameo
  14. Didn't watch the Barbie but enjoyed the rest, especially Star Wars and G.I. Joe. Look forward to the Transformers episode. Need an episode on Marvel and DC toys.
  15. TheForce.net has been down all week due to excess traffic. No other option but to post here.
  16. Never seen such a fast negative reaction to a SW movie. With TPM it built up slowly. Most people said/pretended to like it at the time. Not this time. I just hope Rian Johnson gets his new trilogy taken away from him and Kathleen Kenedy gets fired. Of course Disney only cares about the gross and will look at the numbers and think she is doing a great job. A chimpanzee in charge of Star Wars sequels with a yes/no buzzer would have gotten the same box office results. I'm so worried about how they will butcher my favourite character Han Solo in May .
  17. There is no way X-Men: Dark Phoenix . Doesn't get released. It's a big budget film they have already sunk a lot of money into and finished filming. They will have already signed contracts for all the post production work. Maybe even for advertising. Furthermore the deal still requires shareholder and regulatory approval which takes months, if not years if challenged so for the time being it will be business as usual. It would have to be all kinds of awful for Disney and Fox to take a $200m+ hit and scrap the movie at this point.
  18. Star Wars: The Last Jedi. A very good movie sadly ruined by a handful of ridiculous decisions which left me feeling ambivalent. What were they thinking? At least it's an original story and not a rehash like The Force Awakens. I think casual film viewers will enjoy it much more than people like myself. Rogue One still the best of the Disney films.
  19. Really disappointing, I was really hyped for this but so much wrong.
