Are we considering the Quicksilver sequence in DOFP an action scene?

They haven't come up a lot recently but Making Star Wars has ended up having a lot of advance inside info for TLJ, moreso than they did with R1. But they've been very careful in how and when they let it out. This is supposedly a mock up of the poster than will be revealed when the trailer...

In case you don't want any potential future viewings spoiled ...

The people warning that this movie was almost impossible to talk about in any detail without spoiling weren't joking. It sure channels all the best parts of the original hard. So much so that I'm not sure just how much someone who hasn't seen the original (and liked it) will enjoy this sequel...

Yeah the trailer has been unofficially confirmed to drop on Monday and ticket sales went live just after the MNF trailer for TFA aired as well. Some people that work at Regal said a couple of days ago they got a heads up from corporate to get their presale ducks in order.

I got it at Publix.

That's certainly true but all the same I hope the new series isn't set in that time period. Narratively it's too constraining. Especially if your central characters are going to be close enough to all of the familiar events to actually run into significant figures like Leia. And I don't wanna...

This just might be the finest frozen confection I've ever tasted. It's like someone took some peanut M&M's, made with the creamiest milk chocolate ever crafted by the hand of man, and worked some strange voodoo magic to transform them into a wonderfully smooth ice cream.

While I've enjoyed the show for me last season really began to demonstrate that Filoni has almost tapped this one out story wise. It had a few really good episodes that were sandwiched between a lot of what was starting to feel like infiltration/mission of the week sort of fare. I think he's...

I'd give Southern Tier Pumking a shot. It has a little vanilla mixed in with the usual pumpkin beer flavors. It always reminds me of a piece of pumpkin pie crust that's had the filling scrapped off.

In spite of all the early positive buzz some are predicting this to struggle to make it's budget (estimates as high as $185 million) back because the fan base of the original movie is quite small in comparison to the hallowed position the film has in the history of the genre. So it might start...

I really like his character on King of the Hill. Sad that both halves of the duo are gone.

Decided to swing by the frozen food section to try that Wicked Kitchen Mac n' Cheese in a box again and they had a new flavor. Was better than the hatch chili flavor as is although I like my mac and cheese well, pretty cheesy, so I threw in a slice of pepper jack (because in spite of His...

I think getting handed the keys to both Blade Runner and Dune is Villeneuve putting the first two punches in his carte blanche card following the critical successes of Prisoners, Sicario, and Arrival. I know he talked about wanting to do Dune long before he was ever announced as it's director.

He went into that on the show as well. I'll just link it to start at the Blade Runner segment if you're interested.

Rogue One tried to go the route of the more complex, nuanced protagonists. The execution was fairly lacking. One of the mistakes was their selection of director. Edwards has never demonstrated that character development is his strong suit. They'd have been better off with Tony Gilroy in...

For anyone really wanting a faithful adaptation of the anime, yes it will. No major US studio is going to throw a big budget into that. Akira is one of the huge pillars of the genre but anime is general, especially anime from that era, is a long damn way from sufficient appeal to an American...

Steve Weintraub was on Movie Talk today and he basically said that if you don't want to be spoiled then you should probably avoid any of the more detailed reviews that will start dropping when the embargo lifts on Monday because it was going to be almost impossible to discuss the plot without...

If the accounts are accurate, and they may well not be since they are essentially rumors after all, then it's more than just dialog. But I wouldn't go into it expecting Luke to be shakin' it up to the extent that even Han did in TFA either way. One of the more defining moments in Luke's life...

I was addressing his use of a lightsaber specifically not his involvement in action sequences in general. Because there are accounts out there to suggest that he is involved in such scenes, just not with the ol' green.

With Peele having turned WB down quite some time ago, they're now in talks with Taika Waititi who, from the view right now, is likely on the verge of having a pretty big score with Thor:Ragnarok.

Several days ago Mark Hamill threw some grist into the rumor mill via twitter that fans should tune into Monday Night Football on Oct. 9th "for no particular reason." A tweet that he then deleted a few hours later. But unofficial confirmations are starting to make that rounds that the next...

Well that shouldn't be a surprise. Abrams has a standing development deal with Paramount that runs through 2018. A Star Trek movie is probably there for the taking whenever he wants to make one. And Paramount would really have liked to have him actually direct a movie for them again before...

Wes Anderson's next stop motion animated feature.

Title: Isle of Dogs Genre: Comedy, Animation Director: Wes Anderson Cast: Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Kunichi Nomura, Greta Gerwig, Frances McDormand, Courtney B. Vance, Fisher Stevens, Mari Natsuki, Harvey Keitel, Koyu Rankin, Liev Schreiber, Bob Balaban...

This rumor has some legs. Word is the current edit has zero Lex in it. Apparently Whedon was as unimpressed with Eisenberg's performance as most others were with his previous effort.

I dunno. The popular guess is that is the Spice Mines of Kessel, which could be how they intersect Vader (if he is indeed in the movie) with a younger Han Solo since the Empire would send prisoners there to be worked to death. One prisoner in particular, a singer, was sent there by Vader...

Yeah but it's one of those articles where they aren't citing their own source for a leak they're just saying another site claims to have a source and they're running their own piece just to sponge off some web traffic from it. I don't know how concerned screenrant is over their reputation where...

Vader in R1 was very much fan service as well. Of his two appearances I would say that one was an example of fan service done the way it should be if it has to be done at all (the hallway scene) because it helped the narrative along without otherwise weakening the story. The other (Mustafar)...

The info came from a German site.

I like the look of that but I do wonder about one thing; how well is Harbour going to be able to act in that because he's completely unrecognizable, so there's a lot of prosthetics going on there. Perlman had the advantage of having played The Beast for a while and his makeup for Hellboy was...

Even if TLJ were to bomb they won't take a breather until at least the third anthology movie is released. They've floated a couple of ideas for a post-ST game plan: doing only anthology movies for a while or taking a break from feature SW films altogether and focusing on television/streamed...

Names and dates for some of S4 are out: Looks like we're getting a lot of two-fors, which is how they did Freemakers this past season (sometimes they'd release as many as 4 new eps in weekend).

Yeah Abrams was the reason TFA was pushed back to December from the originally planned May release. Production is currently slated to begin in January but he would never have a script done by then. And speaking of the script, reports are now that he'll have a co-writer; Chris Terrio. He did...

Would not have been my first choice. Though many were guessing that he'd be the most likely candidate since his schedule was open and Lucasfilm was very happy with TFA. I just hope all of the criticisms about it leaning too heavily on the older films for it's story beats sunk in. You can get...
