Gin Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 Ok that should keep anyone out who doesn't want it ruined for them.Yes, anyway, I did not feel that the death was handled well enough.. I should have been in floods of tears begging the big screen not to let it happen ( "Why God, WHY!?" ) but I wasn't..Seen in twice now and though it was sad it wasn't the emotional send off the character deserved..

Glorian Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Film was fantastic, But i wish they had used an expanded universe story.. SO MANY GOOD ONES Quote
Gin Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 There is a war in the stars. You made me think I'd mis-spelt the thread name!! Quote

Hoggs Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 You *really* dislike star wars don't you? No. I really dislike the whole milking popular things for every single goddam drop until there is nothing left but a broken dry husk of disappointment. Which is what will happen. And also why Avengers Age of Ultron was bad. Cutting 40 mins out that film would have improved it considerably. But no it has to be BIGGER and BETTER and LONGER and MORE MORE MORE. Quote
Fozzie Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I get the point of view. But unfortunately that's life.At a basic level, everyday people will milk likes from social media etc for many reasons. And there's no problem with that but it's no surprise that a high up corporate level has this same mentality.With Star wars I'm just glad they're investing in them heavily. As if you bugger up the franchise, you lose out on the years of merchandise. So it's in their interests to do well. The spin offs will luckily not be like Marvel where you have to see them all to get the full picture, but just "if you're interested, here's the story"As for Avengers: age of ultron, it wasn't as good as the first but still enjoyable. That said I heard Marvel had much too much input over Joss Whedon, and this is why it suffered. They thought they had a winning formula, not realising it was too repetitive. Quote

Though that's a little what episode 1-3 was. This film may be very similar to ep. 4 it still was a good film in the franchise and definitely held it's own. I don't think it was perfect but I did recommend it to my whole office and then go see it a second time Have you been able to go yet Hoggs? Quote
Six30 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I only watched the first Star Wars film and don't think I watched that all the way through, just don't appeal I suppose Quote
RantMachine Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Nah I'm too cheap to go to the cinema!Amen to that! I'll watch it when it comes out on Netflix or Prime. Ideally while drunk so it doesn't irritate me too much. Quote

Ideally while drunk so it doesn't irritate me too much. Disney have it in their clutches now, and they have their own streaming app for Disney movies. So it will likely never see Amazon or Netflix Quote
Fozzie Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I have the Blu-ray on pre-order, you can borrow it providing you agree not to damage the disk if you don't enjoy it Quote
Hoggs Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Pre-order already??? Whaaa? I'm still in the days of film comes out. A year later you can rent the video from Blockbuster. Several months later you can buy it. On VHS. Spiritually I am a lot older than my actual earth years We have a bluray player. Not convinced stuff looks that much better on it. In fact I don't think I even have the "HD" netflix service just the bog-o-standard one and that all looks fine too. Quote
RantMachine Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 We should have a monthly meet up where we complain about them young'uns. Quote
Gin Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 I have to admit, I don't buy discs any more.. CD's, DVD's etc.. I just buy them all digital and keep them on a hard-drive plugged into the back of my TV! Any shelf space I normally has is rammed full of books so can't be bothered with disc cases too! Quote

You seem to be stuck in 1997!You won't notice the quality unless your TV has the performance to show it. But it's most noticeable with a good sound system as the layers of audio information on Blu-ray are that much better. I can hear and see the differences, and it's one of those things, the more into it you get, the bigger the differences seem to be to you. I have a small DVD cabinet, I only keep 150 or so, I just cycle the list. Very few survive forever, only the likes of back to the future, star wars and Indiana jones keep a permanent spot. Eventually I'm just not bothered by it anymore and exchange it for something else. Quote
RantMachine Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I find that the main factor in whether or not HD or Blu Ray make a difference is how many shits you give - personally I give very very few Quote
Hoggs Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I think my tv is just like so amazingly amazing that everything just looks amazing on it. Even Mario Kart double dash off the Gamecube looks amazing. Amazing. Quote
Fozzie Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 You must have one of these beastshttp://www.governmentauctions.org/uploaded_images/bbigtv-728096.JPGThe upside is you can live in the back of this thing too! Quote
Hoggs Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Sadly I have a flatscreen LED which means my lightgun for Time Crisis doesn't work. Need to pick me up a CRT so I can get back to shooting stuff. Quote
