Got the second disc of "Babylon 5" Season 1 yesterday and watched two of the episodes. Episode 6, we meet "Bester." I suspect I'm going to both love and hate Walter Koening as that character.

Finally sat down and watched Gravity the other day. It was better than I expected, although the concept of the debris from one satalite taking out the entire LEO infrastructure seemed far fetched. The coincidence of the Hubble, ISS and Chinese space station all being within 100 miles of each other seems unlikely too. If you get past that, though, I enjoyed the excitement and adventure of the story, and the visuals were stunning. I wish I had made time to go out and see this movie on a IMAX screen when it was in theaters. 8)

Saw Earth to Echo last night. What the heck is it with holly wood and all these 'shakey cam, follow you around with a camera films' these days??

If it wasn't for that and a few BIG spastyc moments imo, it would have been a much more decent film. As is it was at least a 2 on the 5 star scale.

You were much kinder than I.... :D http://www.paulsvalleydailydemocrat.com/opinion/earth-to-echo-an-inescapable-portal-to-snore-nebula/article_e61d45ee-857f-11e4-b671-7f2f8a4b41ff.html

Oh Brother where art Thou & True Grit (2010).

Love that line:
Lawyer: "Mister Cogburn, in your four years as US Marshal, how many men have you shot??"
Rooster Cogburn: "Shot or Killed?"
Lawyer: "Let us restrict it to killed so we may have a manageable figure!"

I gave it 2 out of 5, more cause i liked the special effects. If i was just going on acting, it wouldn;t even have hit 1.

Watched Men in Black 3 last night on FX. It was the first time I'd seen it. I enjoyed it.

Finished Disc 3 of Season 1 of Babylon 5. Some terrific episodes, all around. "Survivors" had some great Londo/Garibaldi interaction. Looking forward to getting Disc 4 next week.

elf25s · « **Reply #531 on:** 16 January 2015, 16:19:11 »

i am so jealous ...if you watch it for the first time
if you think, lando and garibaldi interactions are great wait till lando and gkar start going at it. some of the best writwn dialogue on tv happens there especially after kosh does something yo the very angry narn but that is in the future if you had not seen it you will enkoy it
katsulas can make you really feel for his charecter through all that makeup

Aokarasu · « **Reply #532 on:** 16 January 2015, 17:22:21 »

This is my first time through, for all intents and purposes. I had seen a few episodes when they were first aired, thanks to my dad taping them, and I'd watch them when home on leave from Germany.

Katsulas (RIP) is excellent as G'Kar (and also played a Romulan rather well in TNG); the interactions between G'Kar and Londo are delightful.

One thing I loved best about B5 over ST was the plot pretzel, way more than twists. Instead of just "what planet are we visiting this week". Watch carefully, minor things happen in short scenes that seam of little interest, but latter it's "oh crap that's where that was going!" I was a big fan of Londo & G'Kar it was interesting where their relation ship went (no spoiler O0 ).

Ah, the sci fi franchise that never took off. It had a good run. Always wondered why there was no spin offs. Enjoy.

There was; Crusade (sucked - took everything B5 fixed from ST and made a series out of the bad stuff), One character, a techno-wizard, they tried to make mysterious. Nearly every episode ended with him leaving on some secret mysterious, mission & stating "expect me, when you see me" then the next episode starts, he's right there, never left ??? [drool] 13 episodes, horrible writing, & bad acting, I think that's what killed the franchise.

It's too bad, the Pilot Episode was so awesome and that was about it.

Not entirely true, after about the 3rd or 4th episode, TNT started trying to stick their fingers in the writers room. The head writer said in one of the notes from TNT, they really wanted Silk Stalkings in space not a space opera. B5 wasn't sexy enough for TNT so it was canned. I think it was the Pak Mara (sp?) porn episode when the series creator called the entire project "stillborn." It was a shame.

A movie was shopped around a few years ago, that was about David and the Rangers during the psych corp wars. It never went anywhere, after the Lost Tales DVD wasn't that big of a seller. The DVD was good, OK it half good
The ghost story sucked but the future war one was good
Watching Vorchans ripping apart Warlocks was worth the price of the DVD for me!

I picked up the Indiana Jones movies on blue ray yesterday for $35. It's a fantastic collection in really nice packaging. I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom yesterday, will watch the other two today.

I wound up deciding that I was in the mood to rewatch Captain America: The First Avenger last night.

I realized something: the Red Skull was sent through the portal, not disintegrated as I'd first thought. Anyone think he might show up in a later film?
