Rambo was a book. --- End quote --- Not only was (Rambo aka First Blood) a book but Rambo dies at the end, shot in the head by trautman. That should have been the ending of the movie too, could have saved me from the whole, I want what they want speech later on :) :laugh2: :laugh2: |

--- Quote ---Producers need to look at projects like the Mandalorian. It's barely set in the Star Wars universe, so if it was bad no big deal, but since it's good they can draw in viewers on both word of mouth and brand recognition and compared to the SW films, it's a much cheaper project to fund. --- End quote --- It was nice while it lasted. They learned nothing from their success. Season 2 is adding a bunch of Star Wars characters. They are going to ruin the show. Baby Yoda is the worst part of that show. Fight me. |

Best character, IMO was Nick Nolte's Ugnaught. They took a throwaway star wars alien race, and made something real out of it. All real animatronics as well. Hope season 2 is not ruined, but not holding my breath. |

I do still give originality credit for Rocky, as I *think* the movie was mostly based off of his fight, and not his life, but I honestly don't know. Didn't know Rambo was a book, but thinking about it, it does play out like a movie based on a book. --- Quote from: Drnick on May 20, 2020, 03:53:11 am --- --- Quote from: pbj on May 20, 2020, 01:24:21 am ---Rocky was based on Chuck Wepner.

My favorite episode was the one with the scout walker. It felt like an episode of the A Team. I though that could have been a good direction to take the show. Show up at a new planet every week. Help someone in need. Move on. Everything has to have a story arc now. The problem is that individual stories are sacrificed to move the plot along. |
