Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom at 40: Spielberg’s hit-and-miss relic (www.theguardian.com)

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom begins with an action sequence that’s almost exactly 20 minutes long, starting with a show-stopping east-meets-west rendition of Anything Goes at a Shanghai nightclub in 1935 and ending in the whitewater rapids at the foot of the Himalayas. For the director Steven Spielberg, whose Raiders...

So The Guardian are shitting on another beloved film for clicks and eyeballs. I remember when they did this about Shrek, too.

Whenever I post in the Tron community, there are people already writing off the upcoming film just because he’s in it.

I understand people have opinions, but I like to watch the finished film before making them. :-)

That was a great review. Very interesting about his theory on the possible use of AI. Regardless, this is on my to buy list. I haven’t bought a copy since the old orangey covered DVD, or was that the VHS cover? Nope, that was the VHS! Just remembered.

I don’t mind a turtles film and only saw this one because my youngest son wanted to see it. Totally surprised how much I enjoyed it. Funny, awesome art style and great choice acting. Hoping the next film can match it!

Starfield mod revives canceled Star Wars Boba Fett 1313 game (www.pcgamesn.com)

For many Star Wars faithful, bringing up the canned Boba Fett 1313 title instantly evokes some painful memories. The game, which was set to start the beloved bounty hunter from the original movie trilogy, was revealed over a decade ago but was canceled quite soon after its reveal, leaving fans of the franchise to wallow and...

Really bummed out when they cancelled 1313, I think it was part of the restructuring when Disney bought Lucasfilm.

I still watch the ten minute E3 video occasionally because I still think it looks great. Was always hoping it might get revived but I remember the news when someone noticed that Lucasfilm/Disney allowed the 1313 trademark to expire.

Another lost game. Don’t get me started on Indiana Jones either. 😂

Yeah, there are quite a few shots that stand out for looking a bit iffy.

Way back when, Pixar were going to make a film called Newt. It was about two rare species of Newt, one of each gender, who needed to mate to save their species. Unfortunately, the female couldn’t stand the male. For whatever reason, they escape the lab and have an adventure.

Apparently this was around the time Rio was released and the stories were apparently too similar. (I haven’t seen Rio, do I don’t know), so the project was canned.

It’s a shame as I really liked the concept art which can be found online and I really liked the style.

In fact, newt makes two small tiny cameos in other Pixar films.

Kevin Costner on physical media: "DVD is not dead" (www.joblo.com)

“Death of the what? DVD is not dead, at all,” Kevin Costner said. “That’s what they’d have you believe. Maybe it’s not making the same amount of money, but just try to go ask for that from the studio. They won’t give that up. A lot of people that like my movies, they can’t get to a theater, and they’re waiting...

The fan film made the news recently because the day of the new live action films announcement, Warner Bros had it taken down from YouTube in a copyright claim. But it was restored about 24 how later.

Isn’t Reform a company rather than an actual political party? Tice is a chairman but not a democratically voted in one.
