David Kelly 1117 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 TGTBATU is probably the best film ever made too. To have watched just one Marvel film before it, is quite frankly ridiculous. I'm quite enjoying the new Star Trek. I like the change in format to an ongoing story and I like the fact that it's took me to the forth episode to realise the head engineer bloke is the nerdy kid of Dazed And Confused. The fact that the technology available to the studio is way in advance of the what was available to even TNG makes it feel like the technology they have on this ship is greater but I don't think they've been out of sync with anything yet. The Klingons don't all have cloaking technology. I think that's been the big thing so far to show that this point in time is less advanced.

Sort your life out. Worst thing is I've got them all, just never got round to watching them. Might find a weekend when I'm on my todd, make some cowboy food (refried beans and the like), drink some American beers, then smoke cigars and drink some bourbon while watching all three. Might wear a stetson and chaps as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For something pre-Kirk to have the replicators, the floaty intangible interactive screens, 3D holographic skype calls... Like I said, it jars a little.

Dr Gloom 19844 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I'm totally with Larry on the hotels that tuck the sheets into the bed. What the fuck is that all about? Buck Dancer that colo lookalike on the Louis doc was weirdly at peace with his smack habit. Wonder how much of it was front for the camera, given he's living in a tent, or if he genuinely is content with seeing his days out getting wasted.

Alex 30485 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Watched the first of the Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams. Was looking forward to it as I was impressed with Black Mirror which was also on Channel 4 and had some nods to PKD's work. I'm also a massive fan of his stuff but I wasn't disappointed and it was also good to get a look at what post-Brexit Britain will look like.

I've watched the first three episodes and while I was a bit disappointed with the first couple (because of my expectations rather than them being poor) I've still enjoyed them. The third episode with Timothy Spall is the best and most Black Mirror ish of the three. New season of Black Mirror is due in December I believe.

But I'll probably finish that tonight and watch Electric Dreams too. Aye, Jodie Foster is directing the first one of the new season apparently.

I'd watched the first couple of episodes of season 3 when they were first shown but then got distracted with Twin Peaks, Game Of Thrones and re watching The Sopranos. So I've just watched the last couple of Fargo's and so last night when I got in after five a side I thought I stick episode 3 on. I ended sitting up until 1 watching it and then watched episode 7 this morning. The lead up to and fall out from Jimmy's Bar Association hearing was excellent.

Those things you mention are virtually with us now. If the Star Trek universe is assumed to be a future version of ours. e.g. Marvel is mostly set in the here and now, yet thanks to Stark the world has tech that's not available now, the Winter Soldier has had a robotic arm since WW2, and so on. In the ST universe, 3D holographic video conferencing were apparently commonplace pre-Kirk. As were replicators and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
