I haven't, and I don't plan to. The Lost World was bad enough, but after Jurassic Park 3... *shudders*

Nope, I'm done with new Jurassic Park films. I'll stick to the original

I was hoping the long break in between sequels was a good sign that they were trying to figure out where they went wrong or something, lol. I was hoping to see it till I read something about the premise on here, and it kind of squelched my interest temporarily. But I'd still watch it if the chance came up, if for no other reason than to groan. But ... sure would love to hear what an eye-witness to it thinks of it.

LaFerrari review by Captain Slow

Watched the last 3 episodes of Legends season 2 today. They released 3 eps at once, which is a sure sign that the show has been cancelled. Pity.

The second season has been quite good overall, but they had so many different storylines going on (6 or 7 I think) that it felt a bit confusing and hectic at times. Nevertheless the last couple of episodes were great, and tied all those threads up nicely - especially the story about Sean Bean's character's past. It feels awesome when you can finally piece bits of story together to get a full picture.

Hopefully another network might pick the show up for a third season.

That's disappointing. I loved the first season of Legends. I had a Bean-tastic time watching both it and Frankenstein Chronicles.

Then I give you This!





Oh great! I have the entire second season TiVoed, but I haven't had the chance to watch it yet. Now I'm not sure that I will.

I think Angry Joe summed up Jurassic World rather well. It was all so unnecessary, and unoriginal.

Well Destri, if Legends fails, there is always Sharpe's Rifles. I think I might be breaking out my blu-rays and giving it another watch.

Thanks to Top Gear´s Richard Hammond, I think I know what car to buy next time...

Along with the usual run of police programs (American and UK), plus a couple of Marvel "Gritty in New York City" offerings... we are watching Mrs. Treydog's gift to me- the entire 1954 run of Sherlock Holmes.

It is more humorous than the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce version. Fun to see how the source material is altered to fit a 30 minute format.

At YouTube I watched a discussion of the so-called William Wallace Sword and a rebuttal to a documentary on English Longbows vs Medieval Plate Armor.

Reading The Deluge I at last reached the sabre duel whose brief film clip led to my initial interest in acquiring the Sienkiewicz novels from whence it derives. (Yes, I've linked it before.) I'm happy to report that in most aspects the film fight faithfully mirrors the book, particularly in its portrayal of the smaller, more skillful swordsman. (Sienkiewicz portrays him throughout the books as one of 'the' premiere swordsmen of his time.) The most obvious difference between book and film is that it rains in the film. Maybe the sabre 'twirling' is added, but I might be misremembering. (It is NOT, btw, a fight between near equals. The smaller man toys with his opponent, who quickly realizes he is vastly over matched. At the end, the large man says, more or less, "Don't humiliate me. End it now.") In any case it's nice to see a film of this sort remain true to its source material.

On DVD, I watched the first forty-five minutes or so of Fritz Lang's 1927ish silent "Kriemheld's Revenge", the second movie in his two-movie Die Nebilungen. The first movie, Siegfried, is considered the better of the two. I like them equally in their different ways. I will admit that Siegfried is an easier recommendation. A plus . . . these silents are a rarity in that much of their original music scores survive and have been recorded to accompany the visuals. Here's a brief clip from Sigfried, with the music in place.

Well, you say that, but I found this: Link

It looks like they sort of smooshed A New Hope and KotOR together to make the film.

HOLY CRAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. CW is superior. Rebels in my opinion is bad. Clone Wars had the decency to be more mature and never shied away from mature elements. I mean that fight between Maul and Visla(who, uh, didn't get aHEAD of the game) was great stuff. Rebels was obviously targeted for younger audiences. I mean really younger audiences. Some of the Clone Wars scenes had to be censored and edited out of Cartoon Network.

Wow. Won't see Rebels EVER getting to that level.

Oh thanks! I watched both the linked and the sequeled spoiler version afterward (my laptop is having issues with vids right now, so it took a lot of starting and stopping) - anyway, I think it is still at the point of where it was before watching Angry Joe = if my son brings it on a thumb drive I will see it, but not breaking any speed traps racing to the theater on this one.

Some of the things AJ described sounded interesting to see, but the contrived and totally disbelievable stuff (or the apathy of the characters) = would ruin the show for me, so not worth spending the funds to see it in a theater.

Plus = at home I can rewind and rewatch over and over again the nanny's drama with the Pterodactyl, lol.

Not sure whether you liked the car or the presenter...

The Marauder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. Far better and cooler than the Humvee ever was.

I loved the Humvee till I saw that vid, lol.

I never did actually. Always thought it was way too low. The Marauder I liked immediatley!

They look low to the ground, till you see them next to a regular vehicle. The way they are built, low slung over their own tires - it makes them look low to the ground, but they are not. Their tires are huge - well over the hood of most regular cars, so the fact that they look low slung is deceptive. They are actually very high up compared to normal cars.

But it is hard to think of anything but the Marauder now, that thing was the most fantastic vehicle EVAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
