Movie is still shit though.

Can you elaborate on your opinion, please?

Yes

First off the gun fight scenes were ridiculous and over done. The whole story line was flat and uninteresting. The humor was well not funny, just over done in a blah way. Period weapons were not correct. I think he missed an opportunity here.

You missed the sunglasses. No such thing back then.

James Ayscough (died 1759) was an English optician and designer and maker of scientific instruments. He was apprenticed to an optician named James Mann from 1743 to 1747. James Ayscough became known for his microscopes. His shop was in London between 1740 and 1759. Around the year 1752, James Ayscough introduced spectacles with double-hinged side pieces. Although he made clear lenses, he recommended lenses tinted blue or green to treat some vision problems. These spectacles with tinted lenses are believed to be the precursors to sunglasses.

She was also quite fetching in Cold Comfort Farm.

Well, she's fetching in everything.  There is not a movie in which she does not fetch.

If you're the kind of fan who can't get enough "Star Wars," Disney has just made the announcement you've been dreaming of.

In a presentation Wednesday at CinemaCon, the annual meeting of the National Theater Owners Association, Disney representatives unveiled some big plans for the "Star Wars" franchise after purchasing Lucasfilm for $4 billion. While it's well known that "Star Wars: Episode VII" is in the works and poised for release in the summer of 2015, Disney is saying after that, fans can expect a new "Star Wars" movie every summer for at least five years, with installments in the official series alternating with stand-alone films that will focus on well-loved characters in the "Star Wars" universe.

That means six "Star Wars" movies between 2015 and 2020. That's a lot of lightsabers.

Disney is being stingy with the details on what fans can expect from the new movies, but it's been widely speculated that Disney has been planning to make "Star Wars" films that looked outside the continuing narrative of official series, and this confirms they're coming sooner than later. (If we're to believe the scuttlebutt, Yoda, Boba Fett, and Han Solo will be getting their own movies in the future.)

It also makes clear that Disney intends to use the Lucasfilm properties as a powerful cash locomotive, though with J.J. Abrams writing and directing "Episode VII" and Lawrence Kasdan (screenwriter of "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark") and Simon Kinberg ("X-Men: The Last Stand" and "Sherlock Holmes") rumored to be writing the stand-alone projects, they're aiming for quality as well as quantity.

Disney's announcement also shrewdly opens the door for lots more speculation among fans and bloggers while confirming something nearly everyone seems to want: a lot more "Star Wars" movies. Well played, Disney. And if your writers start to run out of ideas, you might consider bringing in Patton Oswalt for a script meeting.

Quit trying to make "fetch" happen!

Those are snow googles canuck. Not sun glasses. You should know that.

[garbon]

Period weapons were not correct.

  Only on Languish.

Reminds me of the bitching about 300.  WTF THOSE ARENT THE CORRECT GREAVES

Well, for 300 it didn't exactly take a history geek to wonder why these Spartans were going into a battle, which is presumably filled with sharp pointy things, essentially naked to the waist (with their no doubt magnificent abs highlighted for maximum homo-erotic effect) 

Bu...but that was the whole point!

I don't think that's correct.
