Was she the one in charge of the Maw installation or whatever? She was described as being Tarkin’s lover right from the start in that one lol

Been like 25 years since I read this crap though

Look I find those books hilarious and I love them but even I render things down to the gems, like Lando going to the gelatinous blob horse races, Han and Kyp doing Xtreme Sports skiing, Luke fighting a Lava Dragon, Han and Leia's Kids going on a field trip to the center of the earth on Coruscant, or a giant robot spider battling a tentacle mountain. I can't he expected to remember Admiral Daala describing Tarkin's lithe naked body.

I really hope they succeed and more talented writers can get a start in Hollywood from the outside, so that screenwriting doesn’t become the sole province of wealthy failsons.

That’s the best part of books, when things really start to get weird and the whole hero’s journey is turned on it’s head. But we’ll probably never see books 2-4 adapted.

That's the same book series with the blob horses and Tarkin's redhead girlfriend Admiral.

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


So living the Hotel Life this week and some channel is showing all the Mummy movies. That includes both the Brendan Frasier Mummy and it’s sequel, and the Tom Cruise Cummy

First off, watching a movie with commercial breaks is awful. I don’t know how I ever watched a movie this way. Second, movies used to be way more fun. The difference between the 1997 mummy and the 2017 movie is like night and day. The latter is so self serious and tries to be so edgy, it really comes off like it was written by a “deep, dark” 14 year old. Third, I really like the way both versions play with the elements that were in the original Universal Mummy movie. They took some fun creative liberties. I wish the 2017 had been this clever throughout.

Mummy 1: man this is a fun flick. Just good pacing and decent tone throughout. Knows what it’s doing. A poor man’s Raiders of the Lost Ark. Sorry to any Fraiser-heads but Brendan is NOT good in this role. He gets the comedic bits fine, but he cannot convincingly act tough or gritty to save his life. It’s laughable when he does the insouciant adventurer thing. Rachel Weiss: :h::love::swoon:

Mummy 2: garbage. Just trash. It’s got probably the most annoying kid ever. The Rock is in it for no reason and there is a ton of PS2 level CGI. The awful CGI is the most memorable part.

Tom Cummy: he was 55 when he made this and Jake Johnson must’ve been around 35. And they’re playing a pair of Corporals in the Army who loot antiquities for funny. It’s really pretty awkward to see Ol’ Tommy sleeping with women in their 20s so he can steal their map, or doing the stumbly-talking “uh bad… yes, badly bad… very bad” Whedon-adjacent thing that was huge in the 2010s. Wasn’t worth finishing. Lol that Russel Crowe is in it as Dr Jeckel/Mr. Hyde.

The best part was when the scientists tried to blow up Kessel with the Death Star Prototype and missed.

Right. Solidarity with the striking workers, but are there any movies to look forward to for the rest of the year? Just wondering. If not, I totally understand.

I watched all 3 Blade movies in the last couple of days. I didn't remember Blade Trinity being so bad but goddamn does it suck. I know about all the behind the scenes drama with Snipes but the movie just looks and feels like crap too! The main badguy doesn't do anything apart from terrorise a hot topic.

This criticism is hard to put in to words but it also is one of those movies where it feels like a bunch of takes edited together? I know ALL movies are that but they shouldn't feel like that. I could almost hear a director shouting action and Ryan reynolds ad-libbing another quip.
