    Anyone into philosophy?

    Movies TOP GUN 3 in the works!

    Maverick was not great. They played it too safe. Even with the soundtrack. But it was well acted and looked appropriate on screen, which is all one can hope for in the 2020's.

    The keys are in the ignition, but you can only take one. Which one is it?

    My first reaction is Back to the Future. But Knight Rider has that Turbo Boost.

    Movies Movie iconic characters that you wonder if played by another actor.

    Matt Berry and Gene Barry. I thought that Ernie Hudson's Winston made the movie more relatable. Blue collar guy, after a stint in the military, looking for a job (with a level of associated risk to keep him invested) in the big city.

    Movies Movie iconic characters that you wonder if played by another actor.

    Eddie Murphy is also a Star Trek fan and was very close to landing a role in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Nimoy, who at the time was at the zenith of his influence on Star Trek vision and production, rejected the notion. When very popular actors become attached to a movie, they have a...

    Movies ALIEN: ROMULUS (First Teaser Trailer)

    My initial impression is that it's darker than the third season of Picard, the set appears soviet era repressed minimal, and the apparent lead character is quite similar to Ellen Ripley/Sigourney Weaver.

    They were indeed all considered for these roles. In Connery's case, he had the part but dropped out at the last minute.

    Bold PG rating. The camera zoomed in on him grabbing his crotch while he said it, IIRC. He also grabbed at Geena Davis' crotch. And frequented a whore house.

    Movies Best year in the history of film?

    Likely a 70's year, but 1981 is a contender if we are talking genre diversity. Also has a solid top 5. Mad Max II: The Road Warrior Escape From New York Excalibur An American Werewolf in London Raiders of the Lost Ark

    Midnight Cowboy, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Serpico, Slap Shot, Ordinary People, Missing in Action, Fletch, Back to School, Raising Arizona M. Emmet Walsh's 70's and 80's tv career is also impressive. He was a real one. Etched from the granite mountain block of humanity for film noir...
