Andy

You probably already know, his Amazing Stories work was released a long time ago by Intrada. But a Williams-only disc reissue would be most welcome.

That looks like my kind of Anime.

How many lights do you see?

Imagine an algorithm that shows you just what you want to see. Nah, that’s too advanced.

I had that Enterprise D toy, the Encyclopedia, and the Alarm Clock to the right. Where was this girl when I was in high school?

For those who think girls don’t like Star Trek

If the scene were kept intact, Jerjerrod’s humanity and hesitation to fire on the Moon could’ve been argued to have saved the Strike Team on Endor just as much as Lando and Wedge’s fast flying and heroism.

It would’ve possibly increased the tension if Lando and Wedge were racing the Prime Weapon firing on Yavin, er I mean Endor just as in the first film, but as Xander remarked, they really should’ve been knocking around a little bit. At that point the Executor would’ve already smashed into the Death Star and Luke and Vader would’ve been in the docking bay. I think they figured with Vader and Luke dominating the drama, cutting to Jerjerrod was just too much. Nice to see the actor having more to do though. RIP.

I agree! This was a first time listen for me, and I loved it. I think the Song is a top 3 for me, especially a minute in when the groove really digs in. Barry makes excellent use of it, as expected in very seductive quotes. It’s a winner. And yeah the sound is phenomenal.

Fire!

Holy shit you ordered the Fire and Ice exclusive? That has to be expensive with shipping and import fees no? I want it badly but can’t seem to pull the trigger, hoping for a standard edition in a regular case since I already have the CD soundtrack.

Such a fun movie, from the guy who brought us the Phantasm series. Agreed on all counts, including the BSG ripoff. I like the score, but my brain just can’t shake the similarity. I loved Mark Singer in “V”. He brought such goofy intensity to his roles. He looks great in Beastmaster, truly a great specimen. And on that note, I’ll watch anything with Tanya Roberts. Beastmaster makes a good double feature with Sheena. It’s just okay. A bit of a slog. It’s got some decent bits, but is somehow not all that coherent. Some great titles there. I think Sleeping Beauty is one of the most gorgeous things ever put on film. Bakshi’s stuff is hit or miss with me, but his LOTR is jaw droppingly beautiful and surreal. Anyone who likes that should enjoy the equally impressive Fire and Ice. I’m sad that traditional animation for adults is a thing of the past. It’s either CG animation for kids, or Anime for adults. I would love to see cel animation for all ages or for adults make a return. There are things that can happen, nuances of imagery that CG can’t do. I’m the type of person unimpressed by the stylish whatever you call it animation of Into the Spider-Verse that people fawned over. Just give me some human painted backgrounds and cels popping with color and depth that shows that artists can still illustrate without help from technology. Oh and I love horror films too. The more colorful and visually interesting the better.

Yes how embarrassing of me to word it that way. I’ll be sure to nuke that post along with all the rest when I take a ten year hiatus from JWFan.

Yes this exactly. They could completely stop (hopefully after the Bonds are all finished ) and I’d be satisfied with what I’ve got. I have plenty of music to last the rest of my life and there would be plenty of older releases to collect. I hope they keep going, if only to keep discussion and interest going. The next big thing is what brings excitement here and at FSM. Without new releases to fuel anticipation and conversation, this place could grow tumbleweeds.

Thats the part that’s a bit worrisome. Their business plans only extend out another 18 months? Doesn’t mean the sky is falling but it isn’t a confident “many years to come” message.
