Foundation (2021).

Spoiler

Dune without worms.

The mass hanging scene looks ambiguous.
On one hand, it's cruel.
On the other hand, their dress code is enough aesthetically disgusting to be unforgivable.
On the third hand, the emperor's dress is the worst among them. Especially those idiotically bare thin arms sticking out of the cuirass and the cloak and lack of headware.
The dress artist was on holidays doing these suits.

Like in Dune, a lot of pathos, megalomania, talks, and SFX. Much less action.

Never liked Asimov, and like him now even less. I'll better watch Pandora, Brave New World  or another near-future 3d-GUI promo-show.

(Noble races).

Kosh will be played by another actor?  (A new face, a new character.)

Shadows are good, Vorlons are ambiguous? (Let's look at the story at another angle.)

The First Ones opened a space Disneyland? (SFX and carousels are OK, just sell the tickets.)

***

(Inferior races and other animals).

Delenn will stay in her original race mating Sheridan? (Why that human chauvinism?)

Lennier got some balls? (I mean, in Zoccalo casino, playing dice.)

Comm. Ivanova and Talia Winter.... (Well, nothing to change in the original.)

Lita Alexander got stuck trying to infiltrate into Garibaldi mind? (Still swimming in the alcohol labyrinth.)

G'Kar starts laying eggs? (Who knows, what that lizard actually was, we didn't see.)

Londo Mollari became honest, and nobody believes him now? (Everyone thinks, it's a trick.)

***

So many questions, so few answers...

no video yet but babylon 5 is getting a reboot, and jms is doing it. 

<Checks calendar to ensure that it isn't April 1st>

Announced in Variety, here is an interview on IGN with JMS about it, so I guess it really is happening. At least as far as ordering a script for a pilot. Lots of shows never make it past that stage. I will wait and see what happens before I get excited.

Nooooooooo!

 

I am of the mind that JMS cannot redo Babylon 5 without updating it like Trek did to it's own peril.

I mean... every scifi tv show is a product of it's time... that's part of the charm. And even then Babylon 5 had plenty of lessons that were simply.... timeless.

Not sure I wanna see a Babylon 5 that is forced to update the characters to fit all the modern shifts in culture at the expense of all else.

If JMS tries to do his own thing I do think the execs will do their best to kill it... and the CW?

The same folks responsible for all the teen soap opera superhero shows that mistake preachyness for depth?

CW may want JMS... but I don't trust CW.

Another Life, season 2 is released.

After everything got lost, they happily escaped and continue filling the Universe with psychological drama.

To the date:

1. Every high-thrust spaceship should have a room with seats to let everyone sit in a seat rather than heroically withstand the troubles on a bench.

2. (Here and in other movies). Why do I never see anybody brooming the ship? How can it stay clean for seasons?

3. The Captainess got more mature due to the space upheavals. Or they changed the flight makeup artist on the ship.

4. Experienced actors don't look into the camera. Noobs do.

Wonder how low this one's going to score, and whether Katee Sachoff looks older because her niche fame is carrying the series.

And why did they reject the happy end of the season 1, where the high-developed civilisation assimilated the necessary parts of the terrestrial one.

"So, Dune's coming out, and we must something together. We urgently need a hose from a vacuum. Put some whiskers inside as teeth, and slap some plasticine on it."

Why did they not put bags on Paul and Jess heads in orhithopter?
They know that she can hypnotize, and both know some gesture language. Why such disorder?

Why this puberty aggression from guards every time when somebody is approaching to the object of protection?
Can't they check the visitor's permission outdoors? Is it necessary to let him/her get close to the beloved boss and then start sticking knives and guns in the face? A young gang or a serious service?

Where did Drax The Destroyer lost the Rocket Raccoon?
(Ok, say, Khal Drogo is now the Desert Aquaman).

our local one screen one movie a week theatre has suffered a equipment failure.

The sandworm was too long, the wide screen failed to show it all.

its actually run by the high school. they use the proceeds to fund teen athletics. so you are pretty much watching the movie in the high school auditorium.  its actually not terrible for what it is. short of hopping on a ferry and going to juneau to watch it, or go to anchorage and watch it on imax, which i could afford mind you if i give up on upgrading my video card. perhaps wrangel has it, they are only a couple islands over, i could probibly kayak it if the seas are calm and provided a kayak costs less than a ferry ticket and the seas aren't 3+ feet high (its fall so they probibly are).
