There's no reason why GPS satellites would stop working just because the world underneath them was flattened. Atomic power would keep them functioning. Untrue. Satellites need regular course corrections to stay in their proper orbits. Planets aren't perfectly spherical, even gravity is slightly une...

Does she look good in the jumpsuit consistently throughout the series? If so, I might give this a watch tonight, since all the other series I watching has concluded their various seasons. It's not a skintight superhero costume, but yeah she looks good in it. Hopefully this is a breakout role for El...

09ys77c8jt4c1.jpeg This is a maxi-series based on the Bethesda video game series. I'm not sure if it is a direct adaptation of an actual storyline, I haven't played the games. But they do seem to capture the spirit of the game pretty well. So far I'm enjoying it. 200 years after a nuclear war that ...

There is no problem having a movie set in the 1980s, as long as you don't miss the central conflict: the Cold War. A movie about Wonder Woman helping Reagan to win the Cold War could have been amazing. Unfortunately, you're not going to get that movie out of Hollywood, because their groupthink on th...

Well, to cap off this thread, it's pretty clear now in 2024 that Gal Gadot is done playing Wonder Woman, as Gunn and Saffron are recasting the entire DC lineup from scratch. No news on who the new Wonder Woman will be. I suspect she'll show up in the new Superman movie as a surprise cameo, but I hav...

My only exposure to her stuff were the " Agents of P.O.W.E.R. " and " Heroines of F.U.R.Y. " DVDs, which were compilations of standalone videos from Secret Identity Films. At one point, you could rent them from YouTube, which is what I did. The contents weren't entirely to my tas...

Yes I want main characters and I would say Aquaman and WW are main characters. Aquaman wasn't ever an A-list character until the movies came out. His comics didn't do as well as, say, Green Lantern or The Flash. As a comic book character, Aquaman is not a first tier character. He hasn't been publis...

I picked up the DVDs of the first three seasons of this show. I never got to watch it as a kid, I was too young. (I got sent to bed when the opening credits of Hawaii 5-0 rolled.) But I had heard that it was good. The pilot was a delight. The idea is that Fantasy Island is an island resort where gue...

Pro wrestling has definitely scratched that same itch at times, depending on what kind of angles they were running. Like, when they do a babyface in peril storyline, it can definitely work. Some examples: TNA's 2008 storyline with Awesome Kong coming after babyface Gail Kim, where Gail goes all out,...

She's done a bunch of other videos for Bluestone.

All of the recent Catwarrior videos are her, and she's done some of their Scotland Yard Cold Case videos as well (SYCC 45, 46, 51 and 52).

Lurkndog

That doesn't seem awful, superhero Groundhog Day seems like a workable concept.

Happy Death Day was fun, after all.

You have to wonder why with all the bad press for Heard they did not recast her

Maybe they liked working with her on the first movie?

Lurkndog

The Flash blu-ray is $9.99 on Amazon right now.

It's still not a great movie, but $9 is about the right price for it.

There are some good bits in it, like any scene with Sasha Calle, but the whole is worse than the sum of its parts.

Lurkndog

At least with Grant Gustin starring, the story would have been "TV star gets a shot at movie stardom" instead of "creep still in court." Also, frankly, Gustin is a better Flash. For what it's worth, Amazon had the Flash blu-ray for $10-ish a few days ago, though it is listed for ...

I was never a big fan of the original Lost in Space, but Goodard made a fine Don West. Still the best to play the role.

Bill Mumy has generally good things to say about him.

If you listen to the whole story the movie was a gamble. Once Connery was signed on all of a sudden they got investment money. Plus the main actor and Connery got percent of profit. Could be Clancy is saying he got a flat fee but no percent or residuals. So, he got paid, but he didn't make as much ...

I can't say I'm looking forward to yet another Highlander. Loved the original to death, but it seemed like every attempt to recapture the magic of the first movie met with diminishing results.

Most of the sequels failed at the script level, though, so maybe if they have a great script...

Heart of Stone was a good watch. It was much better than Citadel, which was a similar "supercomputer runs spy agency, what could go wrong?" storyline done by Amazon. Mainly, Gal Gadot is more likeable than the stars of that show, they didn't use the "all spies are evil" trope, a...

I picked up the peril version of this, mainly for the fine OTS carry at the end.

Good stuff, highly recommended. Yvonne delivers her Darkwing dialogue with an efficient gravitas that really raises the level of her videos.

Lurkndog

Don't get your hopes up. If it's straight from Gal Gadot on one hand, and "sources" on the other hand, I'm going with Gal Gadot. That said, it is pretty clear that all of this is very early, and subject to change. It's pretty clear that Gal Gadot wants to make a Wonder Woman 3, and frankl...

Lurkndog

Yeah, the first one was definitely better. Question: Chris Pine or no Chris Pine? I love Pine and Gadot's chemistry, would love to see them make a non-DC picture together, but at this point they've done "Steve is dead" in two movies, and the second time was a real mess. I would be okay wit...

While she was doing publicity for this month's Heart of Stone release on Netflix, Gal Gadot has said that she is going to do a third Wonder Woman movie with James Gunn and Peter Saffron. https://comicbook.com/movies/news/gal-gadot-wonder-woman-3-james-gunn-peter-safran-dc-films/ It sounds like the m...

Lurkndog

Yeah, Flashpoint isn't a good storyline, and it is especially wrong for the first movie starring the character. The only good thing about it is the shock value of changing everything into the dark alternate timeline, and that doesn't work if you haven't established what the normal timeline is like. ...

Years ago, there was a series of comics called Damage Control about those who cleanup after those superhero confrontations. Yeah, Dwayne McDuffie wrote those. In his comic, Damage Control was more like a specialized building contractor, sometimes branching out into exotic technologies. In the MCU, ...

The legal reality is that any room that contained evidence becomes inadmissible if Batman was in it. Because you can't prove he didn't add or alter anything. One way around that might be for society to approve different standards for trying supervillains, maybe something more like a military tribuna...

I hate to admit it but the big bang theory hit the nail on the head years ago when they pointed out the Raiders of the Lost Ark doesn't need Indiana Jones it at all and it would still come out the same If Indy stays home, the Nazis murder Marion in Act 1, get the Ark in act 2, and fly it to Berlin ...

Lastly, the concept and world of Indiana Jones is developed by three people : George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford. Two out of three people are not involved in this film. That's actually a really good point. Lucas, with Spielberg to rein him in, is definitely part of the magic. His lov...

Is Shia really SO unpopular they couldn't bring him back? I sorta feel like this movie ought to have been Indy's son on an adventure with Jones acting support... like the 'Sean Connery' to his Indy in 'Crusade'. Did he not WANT to come back? In hindsight, it does seem like the path not taken. Thoug...

I never thought the Temple of Doom fit in with the rest of the saga. His ward/sidekick is never seen again. It's a prequel to Raiders. I mean, it fits in pretty well in an Indiana Jones movie marathon, as an intermission. Watch Raiders, watch part of Temple of Doom until you get tired of it, then w...

I went back and bought the Extreme version, and there is an additional garrotting in that.

For my tastes, the peril version is definitely the one to get.

I bought the Upgraded Peril version, mainly for the OTS finale. I feel your pain about drag-on strangle scenes. There are two strangle scenes, one in civilian guise, and one in costume. Neither goes on too long, and there is plenty of other action in the video. Plus, Melody Sky does the most exquisi...

Nope. The main one we're talking about in that video thumbnail (the supercriminal from Earth 3) has nothing to do with Mary Marvel whatsoever.

Another obscure bit of fun was Dangerous Curves , a late night show that lasted two seasons from 1992-1993. It was part of CBS' "Crime Time after Prime Time" lineup. Lise Cutter and Michael Michelle play ex-cop "security consultants" who basically get into trouble every episode. ...

One bit of advice do not bother with Tara King. If anything, Tara was more peril-prone than Emma Peel. She was more of a rookie agent, as a way of distinguishing her from her predecessor.

Also, I just watched the trailer on Twitter, too, and it had subtitles, so I noticed that The Beastie Boys' song used in the trailer, "I'm Gonna Rock Right Now" has the lyrical line "Don't you tell me to smile". That *has* to be why they used that song, even though it just so ha...

I remember him as the unscrupulous talent agent in the Wonder Woman episode "My Teenage Idol is Missing."

He also played studio mogul Harry Cohn in Lynda Carter's 1983 Rita Hayworth: The Love Goddess TV-movie.

This is looking a lot more like a live action Star Wars Rebels than I was expecting. Though I didn't recognize Hera, Sabine and Ezra on the first viewing. With Hera, it was the new color scheme that threw me off. She looked a lot more like Amelia Earhart than she did before. And of course, no Vaness...

Word of mouth on the film is good, but box office is not good, not for a film with a 100 million dollar budget. I hear that it is a lot of fun, similar to the first movie.

I wonder if that Star Wars hotel thing will get shut down. Its pretty much a fail anyway. Star Wars itself is kind of a done franchise. I think that's guaranteed at this point.

When I worked for Sony the attitude was you either ship or lose your job. Only time there was a delay was when two games in the same genre were released near each other so they pushed one back.

Pretty sure Jessica Biel is still red hot, despite the fact that in that picture she's wearing a wig and glasses and a frumpy shirt. And that it isn't the 90's any more. Alas.

Will they try to get the JLU band back together, and hire Timm and Dini to work on live action? That would sure raise my expectations.

The first Wonder Woman movie was written by Allan Heinberg, another JLU alumnus. He's currently the show runner for Netflix's Sandman.
