Hi all. Old Plympto back after, I dunno, 15 years and a lot of hypertension medication.
Wasn't Data assigned the command of the USS Sutherland while he was Lieutenant Commander once? Everyone called him "Captain" while he was CO IIRC.

Re: The Last Airbender brand new trailer
Aang - spelt that way - doesn't necessarily means that it's definitely pronounced one way or another because the actual name wouldn't even be romanized. Because of the difference between the American and British pronunciations of, for example the word "can't", the name "Chang" in...

Re: Gremlins on the Enterprise
Coincidentally I was watching Gremlins 2 earlier. There's no way they could create so much chaos without being overtly meta. Props and costume appear out of nowhere. They are privy to human pop culture from birth. They just need other genetic material to catalyse a physiological transformation. Heck...

However, the fun factor thanks to the awesome chemistry between everyone - even with the bad guys - was just infectious. Everyone looked as if they were having loads of fun in the movie.

Re: Christopher Nolan to take over Superman.
If they tighten up the plot a bit, I think All-Star Superman would be a great movie adaptation that showcases Superman's abilities (not just his physical ones) and how humans perceive him. Not sure if filmmakers would be crazy for its ending though.

Re: Megan Fox out of Transformers 3?
Seeing the current trends, they might just reboot the franchise and make it about teenager Autobots in a cybertronian high school. And Decepticons would glitter when exposed to Energon or something. If they're following current trends, they'll have a 10 million-year-old Cybertronian - transformable...

It's a gallery. Last I checked, Tony didn't walk/fly back to the States in the Mk. I. True, but it was retrieved by Stane and taken back to Stark Industries. It's not a stretch to deduce that Stark found it there and "reconstructed" it for his gallery. I just saw the first movie again. Th...

Re: [Spoilers] First Image of neoKirk's Dad as THOR!
There was a leaked photo of the Destroyer, which looks very faithful to the comics, on Latinoreview.com last week - but it's been pulled. So, that's two comic villains in the movie including Loki.
Edit: A quick GIS brings this up.

Re: Movie/TV soundtracks - anyone else listen to these?
Oh, and the Independence Day soundtrack is outstanding as a leitmotif-laden, Star Wars-esque score - although you can hear the part in the end I think where they'd rewritten Randy Quaid's final bit. The music doesn't match the visuals at all. Also, the Macross Frontier scores by Yoko Kanno are amazi...

The plastic-like material used for the costume felt iffy at first, but I think the filmmakers did say they were going to...

I actually went and looked it up and I can't find who wrote this one--it was done by a Freelancer and they never mention the name of the writer from what I can see.

Re: Legacy ending
I think Legacy is one of those concepts that looked horrible on paper when they first announced it. It's become one of my favorite Star Wars comics nowadays thanks to a great execution. I still think Cade Skywalker's story is the weakest of the arcs though. The Gar Stazi + Rogue Squadron snippets we...
