Before anything good morning to everyone. Have a cup of coffee and this:

1) Did you see the movie ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’? And what did you think?

Nope. And seeing most reviews I’m glad I didn’t go to the cinema for it. My gut told me “I have a bad feeling about this”. I’ll catch up an DVD some day.

2) What is an acclaimed movie or one a fanbase really enjoys but you hated? Also why

Tough one. The only thing that comes to mind is “The Hobbit” trilogy. Saw the first one in the cinema and then waited for the rest on DVD. Man those movies drag on and on…. and the extended version does even more so… a little butter spread on far too much bread.

3) What is a movie with ok to bad reception that you liked?

Reign of fire. Dragons take over the modern world. Really liked that on. (If I were at home right now I would take a look in my Video collection and the answers might vary) [Sidenote Battlefield Earth was very much fun]

4) Slightly different question, what movies disappointed you

Video game adaptation. Most book adaptations. Inkheart and Eragon. There is so much more to the books. Oh and don’t get me started on The Never Ending Story.

5) Can an affective movie universe outside of Marvels be done?

Don’t know and I don’t care. This always leads to fanboy wars. just look at what happened when Disney told everybody “the expanded universe is no longer canon”. They went mental. Do a movie or movie series and stay consistent. Don’t! Chase! Hype!

Intermission

You all may remember that I did a paintathon in the summer. But since it was so hot not much painting was done. Now, with Orktober around the corner, it was decided to give it another try. Paintathon #2 2018 will start in Orktober. Still undecided what I will paint. For starters there are Star Wars Legion Rebel Commandos waiting, Boba Fett and the Scouttroopers should arrive any day, so there is 15 Miniatures. 42 is the goal maybe I’ll go for my Judge Dredd or fix up the miniatures from the board game Descent my wife got herself.

And now, start your engines. Work begins!
