TV/Movies Megathread

[KRonn]

Well then, apparently the show's 'historical documents' are showing the real story of Simcoe.  Not the heroic and watered down Canuckian version.     Seriously though, on the show he is an entertaining villain, quite nasty. The actor does a great job. Or maybe they should have given him another name rather than confuse him with a real person. I figured many of the minor characters were fake names but based on some real venues like the spy processes on both sides.

Speaking of 'historical documents', I saw Galaxy Quest recently. That's a great show!   

it would have been problematic given he takes command of the Roger's Rangers.

I'll be thinking of 'Evil Simcoe' this weekend, while I drive up to the cottage - in Simcoe County. 

Watch out for any of those Queen's Rangers, hiding out in the wilds, who don't know the war is over....

Should I re-watch the Star Wars movies? If so, in what order?

[Barrister]

Should I re-watch the Star Wars movies?

The answer to that question is always yes.

If so, in what order?

4-5-6

Then, only if you're bored,

1-2-3

4-5-6

Then, only if you're bored,

1-2-3

I tried and I have to say no. At the very least stay way clear of 1-2-3.

Geez man he is trying to get ready for the new movie not induce suicide.

[Syt]

I keep my expectations for Ep. VII low. I expect a half-way decent action flick with interesting visuals (i.e. the par set by Abrams' two Star Trek movies). If it goes beyond that, I will be pleasantly surprised.

You don't like the original trilogy?

[lustindarkness]

The reason is I can't remember which movies I had my daughter watch before. I am leaning towards: IV, V and VI, and if we have time the prequels, but not sure on that.

BTW, I read an article that recommends watching: IV, II, III, V and VI.

You don't like the original trilogy?

I love the original trilogy and have watched them numerous times, I just find them a bit too slow today.

4-5-6-1-2-3.

You need to watch them all, even if 1-2-3 aren't that good.
4-1-2-3-5-6 will work too.  Although there's a "major spoiler" in #3, by that time, everyone knew it

Does anyone have a link to the rumored re-edit of 1-2-3 to make them a bit more watchable?

there is no official re-edit.  #1 was re-edited by fans to cut all Jar Jar Binks content.

[Berkut]

Yeah, I know it isn't official. Supposedly there was a fan re-edit of 1-2-3 that turned it into a 3 hour movie with a lot of terrible removed that told the story pretty well, or something like that.

You could maybe say that for A New Hope (it pioneered a lot of stuff that others refined, including later films in the trilogy), but I think V and VI are pretty damn tight. There's so many things being advanced in every scene... I rewatched V the other day and it's so damn well plotted.
