For whatever the reason, 17-24 minutes (depending on broadcaster) was inserted back into the film for TV back in the 1980's.  These scenes, including the arrest I believe, were shot by Donner.  That's why in many ways, the "Donner cut" might be further from the theatrical version but not as far apart from the broadcast one.  I saw it awhile ago, and compared it to the original, and frankly I barely see that much of a difference.  Still a good movie no matter what.

Hmm, this was 4 years ago, and I think what I conveyed shortly after was lost in a prior BBoard collapse.  Mainly I was impressed he recalled all the details of the episode (Common Ground), and that he had a passion for the Kromanus character.  I wish he'd do another convention, as I just started a Monster Squad cast poster, and need him on it.  Ha ha.

I could have asked Sasso a question about Sliders during the Q&A, which wouldn't have made much sense there, but I honestly couldn't think of a good one.  Same for Juarbe.  Honestly, they were goofy characters they played, but they almost never played an integral role in any of the episodes.  Nothing like say Stephen Macht, who I spoke at length with about Kromaggs, and he had some strong feelings about them still.

Hard to say.  I personally thought the trailer for The Mummy was top notch, and I still enjoyed the movie.  However, I understand the public sentiment.  It's not a "Mummy" movie, it's a Tom Cruise movie.  Now I'm a fan of his action work, but I can see how many have probably grown tired of him.  You're not watching The Mummy, you're watching Cruise with The Mummy as background.  IDK, maybe they just should have remade the Monster Squad!

Also, I think it's important to note that Alex Kurtzman probably wasn't the best choice here, despite having a VERY involved Cruise on set.  Goes back to my long-standing criticism of just about everything he and Roberto Orci touch.  Usually vapid trash that makes tons of money, or vapid, boring trash that doesn't.

Hate to spoil your party, but most of these leaks are completely LEGAL!  Leaking classified information is not, but very little of this is.  Information is leaked in criminal investigations all the time, and frankly what evidence has been leaked?  I haven't seen much of anything.  Someone "leaking" that Mueller is possibly investigated Trump.  How is that illegal or illegitimate in any fashion?  Someone IS going to prison, this crazy girl who leaked and was caught recently, but she had nothing to do with the Russia investigation.

Now, here's the issue.  The prosecutor might have enough to charge Trump; however, the Justice Department, as a matter of procedure, has always stopped short of doing so to a sitting President.  Instead, they turn that over to the House, who must decide on impeachment.  Well, this GOP controlled body I would assume would never go forward with that.  So short of forcing Trump to resign, or wait until Dems potentially take control for 2019, all of this may not result in anything.

That being said, Trump's agenda is DOA.  He's become a de facto lame duck, not even 6 months in!  And it's 100% his OWN FAULT.  His asinine comments on NBC News about why he fired Comey were the dumbest he could have said.  He can't help himself.  He's gotten away with numerous violations of law and finance throughout his career, so he feels invincible.

Some of the interviews are fun to read, but most have been superseded by more "open" interviews they've given over the last few years.

To me, WW looked good because, at least from the trailer, it seemed to have a story with good character interaction.  Again I liked Man of Steel, but Dark Knight Rises and BVS and Suicide Squad I felt were all very muddy.

I've been to Alamo, and I HATE IT!  The whole dinner theater thing sucks if you ask me.  People eating smelly, messy food during the film!

Anyway, saw the WW trailer prior to Guardians and Alien over the weekend, and frankly it looks damn good.

Let's not forget that most of the older Trek shows were comprised of theatrically trained actors.  I've never heard of most of these actors, and there's no evidence yet that Jason Isaacs or Anthony Rapp will play as large a role as many of the newcomers.  To me this looks like a very "Enterprise" cast.

Trump just handed over intelligence that was classified and given to him as such.  It came from the Israelis, who clearly had no intention of sharing it with the Russians.  He uses an unsecure phone to tweet and such.  He basically admitted to firing Comey to keep the pressure of himself.  I really do not see how this guy stays in office?  Again, this has nothing to do with politics.  I abhor the politics of Mike Pence, but at least I can trust him to not be this careless nor employ a team of traitors either.

I'll watch, but as a friend said on Facebook, it's a hot mess.  These producers simply do not understand the predilections of Star Trek fans.  Greatly altering the look of Klingons is a BIG DEAL.

Info, this is not about politics.  This is about the LAW and the CONSTITUTION.  Barack Obama like George W. Bush before him, were not perfect, but they were decent, good men with morals, and were capable of deep thought and KNEW the definition of justice.  They did not lie constantly.  This is a totally different animal.  Republicans are sick of this scumbag.  This has NOTHING to do with Washington's "swamp."  This is 100% about a maniac now running the country.

Donald Trump has fired the acting AG Sally Yates, US Attorney of NYC Preet Bharara, and now FBI Director James Comey.  How many more law enforcement officials will this con artist get rid of before the GOP finally do what they are PAID to do, which is to provide oversight and checks and balances?  Would I personally want a President Pence?  Of course not, but this guy needs to go.

Nice to hear.

Well I never thought the day would come that anything remotely "scientific" would come from Seasons Greedings!

FWIW I too find most of the MCU films fun to watch ONCE, and never again.  GOTG, Ant-Man, Dr. Strange are exceptions, because they have stories.  Daredevil was good, the rest of what Netflix has done has been dreadful.  Will see about Iron Fist but not hopeful.  FWIW I did Legion on FX, but it's probably too cerebral for most viewers.

Didn't someone here interview Tracy not long ago?  He's ill?  Damn, not good!

That scene sold the show for me, so funny.

They're way over 60.  2 Daredevil, Jessica, Cage, Fist, and Punisher would be 78, and then Defenders would be 86.

Where's Leslie Nielsen when you need him?

National Security discussion held during a party at Trump's golf course.  Great idea!

Haven't used in them in ages.  It's pretty much nonstop vitriol against the actors, and usually for really ridiculous things.

Trump is a joke.  He's already LOST his "who pays for the wall" tiff with the President of Mexico, and yesterday didn't have the balls to stand up to the drug companies over prescription drug pricing.  Pretty soon he'll understand why and how Obama was unable to move on many of these issues.  He's a total buffoon, and it's clear his central "team" as expected have no clue what "finesse" is required in that office.  They've done nothing but make gaffes and alienate tons of people, and again, this is less than 2 weeks in. 

Even my dog, who by dog standards I will freely admit, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, would have realized the country is highly polarized.  How about I begin with a proposal that will get bipartisan support?  How about we fix our damn infrastructure????  Democrats would have gone along with this, as would Governors and CEO's everywhere.  Instead this moron has freaked or flat pissed off Democrats, Republicans, Governors, CEO's, and whoever else, in just TWO WEEKS!  His scorched earth policy simply will not work.

Definitely a good one, felt like one of the old cartoons.

Obama executive orders were done so, and implemented, over a period of time so that the government could adjust and educate in a timely manner.  This allowed time to object to them, before implementation.  Trump on the other hand is acting like a dictator, issuing edicts without consultation, that are causing people and government to meltdown.  His approach is a disaster, and nearly everything he does now will be protested and subject to law suits, because he is doing it unilaterally like a strong man. 

On immigration, the problem is Trump is picking and choosing.  He absurdly said Syrian Christians were welcome, an outrageous statement, and honestly, how can you prove someone's true religion?  He also conveniently left off Saudi Arabia and Egypt, where Trump has business in, but who have exported several terrorists.  Secondly, we are already vetting, in most cases it takes YEARS to get into the United States, refugee or not, legally.  These people had done their due diligence, and Trump blocked them at the door, really for no good reason.  He has no clue how government operates.  As for best interest, most with experience feel that the ban will ultimately HARM US interests.  Regardless, the vetting process now is about as good as it can be.  To expect POOR refugees to even HAVE cellphones let alone to turn over the contacts and browsing history is pretty hilarious.  Who is this going to catch?  ROFL!  These people are not just dumped onto the street, they are sponsored by relatives, as well as often religious groups, same as probably most Americans' ancestors were years ago.  The vetting is extreme, unlike obtaining a gun, which is a hilariously easy thing to do, and has cost far more lives than "refugee terrorism."  The point though, why couldn't this have been discussed first? 

His moves on national security are frankly, frightening.  He placed self-professed LENINIST (aka anarchist) Steve Bannon on the National Security Council, while limiting the participation of the UN Ambassador, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Director of National Intelligence.  Here again, come the accusations that Trump doesn't give a damn about the facts on the ground OR diplomacy.  Sorry, but this is unbelievably insane shit. 

As for Obamacare, the Democrats made a calculation.  Perhaps it was wrong, but the GOP were unwilling to agree to much of anything in healthcare.  They decided that something HAD to be done about the system.  They did it.  Pre-existing conditions, loss of employment, kids aging but without work, and financial ruin from healthcare costs were ALL dealt with.  No the solution wasn't perfect, but here again, Trump's demolish and "rebuild" approach is objected to by even many Republicans.  Governors certainly don't want to blow up the system overnight the way he does. 

Once more, the protests, which have been largely peaceful, will continue, because Trump's approach has been so awful.  He won't change of course.  He'll just fire people who tell him to.

Scott missed one key ingredient though!  THE ICE HAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regardless of who was in charge, the United States has played a major role in causing millions of deaths and refugees in Syria.  Russia probably even more so, with a vicious, probably criminal, bombing campaign.  Do we bore some responsibility for this?  Trump clearly doesn't think so.  Don't forget, he's in favor of the USA defaulting on debt payments, so I doubt he cares about refugees. 

We're not even close to discussing the ban and vetting process, in my view.  We're STILL at the point of whether or not the Trump camp have once again overpromised ridiculous overnight decisions?  Implementing plans that are not properly thought through, and will be shredded via legal challenges.  I have said since day one, my biggest issue with Trump was that he has zero respect for the people who work in government, not to mention for the law.  His ego, stubbornness, and ignorance will quickly do him in.

Turnout was pretty bad, but again, Trump is (per polling), very unpopular.  Look I don't think Trump will "get us all killed," and I think Ivanka and Jared roles are being understated.  They'll have a LOT of influence, and both are I'm sure what conservatives would call a RINO.  My main opposition to Trump remains that he will be a daily embarrassment to the office, and to the United States.  If they simply took away his twitter account I think he'd be far more tolerable.  That won't happen.  His ego wont allow.

It really depends on whether the director changes.  Most of the ones cited involve different directors, writers, etc.  In some cases, a film went from lower budget to blockbuster (Terminator).  I actually prefer it when sequels involve different production teams, as a new light can be shown on them.  Sometimes that works out very badly.

The board of directors do not care, I agree with you, but why make a film that fans will revolt again?
