Question Movies I want to see

I saw that a trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 was released at Comic Con, and since I saw a bunch of others were out last night I went looking for it. Couldn't find it. BUT, I found this. Zaschitniki (Guardians). I really really hope it is released in the US. Wikipage

There are also trailers out for Wonder Woman, Justice League, Doctor Strange, Kong: Skull Island (from the Godzilla people), King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (which looks like someone took the King Arthur story, and only remembered that there was a sword in a stone), Suicide Squad (i'm not sure about releasing a trailer this close to the movie release), and some others.

Quite honestly, I'm using my desire to see Rogue One as a crutch to get me through my health issues.

Thrawn is in.

I haven't read too much EU, and basically the only two EU characters that I care about are Thrawn and Mara Jade, so I'm plenty excited by the news.


Mara Jade is popular enough that they'd be foolish to leave her out, but if they do include her it will be in the main movies because she's so closely tied to Luke. So I'm being optimistically patient.

There is a new trailer for Guardians and some plot info.

leave it to Russia to come up with better ideas than hollywood

god the morons who greenlight stuff here! It kills me!

A red kitchen toaster with some type of display on one side and one end open with the internal circuitry mangled

Too bad it's not the Red Dwarf toaster... then we'd get some quality material

now what you posted makes sense!





I was beginning to wonder!

but heal up fast and stay safe!

I just hope they don't have Thawn go for Bad Ass to Dead in one movie cause status quo is money like the did in the books. He was probably the most interesting "villain" to come along in the SWU ever and the writer had to gank him least he do to good a job and bring back the Empire. Which other writers ended up doing...

You see why I have issues with the SW franchise.

Eh. While I appreciate wanting Thrawn to stick around for a bit longer, that sort of character is ridiculously hard to write without tearing the rest of your plotting to shreds. Part of his shtick is being unbeatable, which makes him hard to use as a repeat character because the heroes have to win at the end of each arc. And between being likable and talented, he steals the screen and distracts from the heroes. And he's difficult to explain away if you want to put him on a bus.

That's not to say that it couldn't be done by a talented writer, but it takes work. And would you rather he go out with a bang, or deteriorate slowly over time as less talented writers eat away at him?

He was stabbed in the back, so out with a bang would have been preferable.

The heroes don't have to win at the end of each arc, they just have to not completely lose. The Empire Strikes Back definitely ends without the heroes winning. Assuming you want a happy ending, then the heroes just need to win in the end.

That's what I meant by saying "arc" rather than "book". I realize that the terminology is rather vague, though. By my definitions, an arc is composed of several books, and is over when the primary conflict is resolved.
