The MSJ posted:Then you are probably not going to like anyone they cast as Strange. Marvel doesn't want someone too old to be the star of their movies. The most senior actor rumored for the role that I know of is Keanu Reeves who is 50.

Lurdiak posted:But all 4 TNG films are pretty awful? There are no joke smart and learned people out there who think that even the unmitigated turds like Nemesis are genuinely good. James freaking Rolfe thinks Nemesis is good. There's no accounting for taste on This Gay Earth TM. Oddly enough Insurrection is the only one out of the four that seems to be genuinely hated the most after a decade + of retrospection because even idiots can see that the central conceit of defending the Baku is rear end-backwards. First Contact is a duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmbbbbbbb movie, but it hangs together well and is Fun To Watch TM so it deflects a lot of criticism. Generations wins points mostly for the Picard/Kirk scenes (which aren't even very good and ends with Kirk's shameful and pointless death) and for being the most TNG-like of all the TNG movies. Nemesis is one people seem to give a pass to because they really like the idea of a clone of Picard turning out evil and don't seem to realize that the actual movie is total dogshit that 110% fails to deliver on its concept while also ripping off anything from Wrath of Khan that wasn't nailed down.

Ghostlight posted:I mostly dislike Slumberbatch because of his age. Dr Strange's entire origin is that he has a well-established but ultimately hollow work-oriented life that is torn away from him and he loses his entire sense of person because he has nothing else in life. It's not quite as big a deal changing careers or not having established a family in your late 30s as it is in your late 50s/60s. On top of that, his greying sides are iconic parts of his image and all I can imagine is 90s Reed Richards. Yes, but Marvel's all about the 10+ year contracts these days, so early 30s is about as old as we're gonna get for this first movie.

Contact is the only good TNG movie. After the TNG movies came out people were so worried about the "every second film is good" rule that they worked out a new formula of "if you add the digits and come out with an even number it's good" rule so the 10th film fits in.

Lurdiak posted:But all 4 TNG films are pretty awful? - Generations is pretty damned uneven but errs on the positive side, mostly boosted by some beautiful set lighting heretofore unseen on the decks of the Enterprise-D. Also, the crash and Stellar Cartography scenes still hold up. Finally seeing the Enterprise-B onscreen is also enough for a few goodwill points (NGL, I'm a huge Excelsior-class ship fan), even if Cameron is an unbelievably terrible captain. Nexus stuff drags a bit, but the movie otherwise moves enough otherwise and tries so hard to please I can't stay mad at it. - First Contact is super-watchable, even though there is a lot of weird stuff going on and a lot of the main characters are super-duper-underused (a running theme for the TNG films). Overall, the more grim mood is a nice change (especially the first 20 minutes or so) but there's a lot of bad comedy that gets in the way. Excellent main theme, also. - Insurrection is a boring slog that wouldn't even be remembered as a great 2-part episode. Riker's bridge joystick remains the low point of the entire Trek oeuvre. - Nemesis is literally not even worth talking about. redbackground fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Nov 10, 2014 |

That Popeye is hilarious--did it seriously just end like that or is it out of context? I'm sure this was even sillier when the comic was, uh, colored, but I only have the Industrial Strength black and white collection. DNAgents, issue 1.
