Channel surfed a bit of Million Dollar Arm, about finding baseball pitchers in India.  Didn't really go anywhere interesting, so I gave up on it.

Spoiler alert: [spoiler]The guy gets the girl and discovers how to be a good person and crap. The two Indian guys get pro contracts. The nerdy Indian baseball fan starts a baseball team in India that crushes all the competition...such as it is. Basically exactly where one would expect a Hollywood film to go.[/spoiler]

The puking scene was well done.

Anybody seen Danger 5?  I just saw it show up on Netflix.  It looks... interesting.

Are they doing a trilogy...or just a one-off?

1 Star Wars movie every year.

It will alternate between a Skywalker saga movie & one set in the Star Wars Universe.

2016's movie is Bounty Hunter related.

Aye, they are going to milk the cow pretty hard. I just hope they don't spread themselves too thin and the movies manage to be good enough.

I watched about 10 minutes of it. The camp goes to 11.

New Star Wars movies can't be that bad, I mean, Lucas is no longer involved after all.

The latest Inside No 9 :o :blink:

Excellent TV though.
Let's bomb Russia!

I anxiously await the next Star Wars movie. It doesn't have to be great, just done well and I'll probably be happy.

But what if Lucas was the only one holding them together at all? :o

He did have a vision though; the prequels did tell a compelling story (Anakin's downfall), they just did it in a terribly incompetent manner. I wish he had stayed in a story capacity, but I understand he couldn't just be half-involved in it.

His worst sin was changing the force from something universal to something that is genetic.  If you listen carefully to the last bit of dialogue in the trailer it appears that they are going to fix that.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

think I'm gonna watch the original trilogy again this weekend. :)
