I had a hard time believing he was 90, he really did not look his age in the past decade and a half.

David McCallum, known for his roles as Illya Kuryakin in "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." and Doctor Donald "Ducky" Mallard in "NCIS", has died aged 90. SOURCE

Pretty much my view (except maybe Bad Batch). I'm also not that enthusiastic about the gaming side, but that's because we've had very little during EA's time with the exclusive contract, and now it's opened up, I'm not seeing much worth getting hyped up over there either.

Night on the Yorktown also reminds me of Goldsmith's 'The Enterprise' as well. If ever the fourth Kelvin film happens, I really hope it is used to launch the new Enterprise, because it would just fit really well.

I guess it depends on what 'religious music' means, because each religion likely has a different style 😅

EastWest Ra does have duduks, but 'ethnic flute' is kind of vague. Ra has a Shakuhachi as well. Hollywood Fantasy Winds has Renaissance Flutes and Ocarinas.

... actually, this looks pretty cool.

Considering the point was that it's a commentary and satire on Japanese bureaucracy, that things take ages because they have to have a meeting just to have a meeting, that there's about a dozen different confirmations to go through before you actually have confirmation... yes. That's the point. It wouldn't be an effective satire if they skipped all of that. Having said that, I personally don't feel it made the film drag at all, but that's just my opinion.

That's the point.

Some other interesting things from the trailer:

Steve Harwell, one of the founding members of Smash Mouth, has died, aged 56, following liver failure. SOURCE

This is Godzilla's full-body design for Minus One: It's similar to the Godzilla: The Ride design but there are differences. It much more closely resembles the Heisei Godzilla, particularly in the face and neck, and its dorsal spines are huge. I believe the article shows some concept art from the original film as well as the official poster.

The article has been corrected since. Apparently that was a mistranslation. It now reads 'following on from Shin Godzilla', which in this context just means that it's another new, live action film rather than being directly related to it. In any case, I cannot see how this would ever have worked as a prequel to Shin Godzilla in the first place, given that film was supposed to have been the first time Godzilla had been seen in that continuity. I don't want a sequel to Shin Godzilla, surprisingly enough. I wouldn't refuse one, if it was done right, but it stands well on its own, as its own thing. I thought the film did exactly what it needed to, given the message it was trying to convey - particularly about the Japanese response to disasters like the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and the Fukushima disaster.

Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to Minus One more than Godzilla X Kong?
