Bleh. I woke up early after my night shift, went back to sleep. Then only to get up to drive over to the motor tax office with school traffic. Finally putting my feet up to update this. I was in the process of doing it this morning before bed but ran out of time.

And now, ladies and gentleman, some metal

1) I liked it, but you gotta trust your gut. I don’t trust movie reviews anymore though. Nice reference. 10 points.

2) I see what you are doing here with the references. I loved that Trilogy, but if the entire world agreed on everything we wouldn’t have debate, science, philosphy or art. 10 points.

3) Reign of Fire I remember. To me it dragged. It could have had more Dragon Encouners but hey, it is what it is. I saw Battlefield Earth as a kid and at the time I did not think it was that bad. Im afraid to rewatch it though. 10 points.

4) 5 points. What was so bad about Inkheart and The Never Ending Story? Never watch or read them.

5) I don’t see how the Expanded Universe really overlaps with the question here, to be honest. I was aiming at a shared Cinematic universe with movies in a shared world, not the Star Wars Expanded Universe getting nuked. And while I can tell from the post you are passionate about it, I can see why (not necessarily agree with it) why Disney needed that. It would have been impossible to do anything with Star Wars with the 35 or so years of material without a clean state if it were to treat all that material as canon. 5 points.

I like your pledge, 10 points. I came into a little cash lately so I treated myself to the Star Wars Legion Starter set. Im also converting up some commandos with different models and ordered new bases. I dislike the bases that come with the minis and am using GW ones, so ordered them too. And a pot of paint.

I will get back to you in points on music. Listening to my own music while I type up the answer.
