    The X-Files

    @ Fangu I agree that one of the most important things that got lost translating this show for a modern audience was the look. X-Files was the first show I ever binge-watched, and I was like 13 years old. Revisiting the show recently I was SO blown away by how great some of the early seasons...

    Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (story/content)

    I agree that we are almost for sure going to get some nods to the Compilation. The very notion of extra or expanded content and a "fully realized" Midgar seems to be a pretty clear indicator that the Compilation stuff will be there in some capacity. I agree that I tooootally don't want to see...

    Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

    That definitely seems to be the filmmakers' opinion. I agree that it worked, TFA is cool. And your New Hope/Jedi/Force Awakens parallels are noted (even Phantom Menace tries to adhere to that format in a roundabout way). But in my subjective movie-going experience, I think that as the movie...

    Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

    I think that perhaps a larger part of the prequel trilogy's failures with the fan base were the films' tonal differences. There was less swashbuckling. They had more in common with Shakespeare's historical epics than with Flash Gordon or even Indiana Jones, and unfortunately the inept...

    Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

    Hopefully it will move in a new direction. Like you said, in terms of plot development, they've got a lot of the referential New Hope-Empire stuff out of the way. Rian Johnson is a visionary filmmaker, and I'm sure there is an excellent Star Wars trilogy to be had under his vision--hopefully...

    Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

    Just found really cool vaguely spoilerish new cameo! Super cool, I knew there was a lot more going on in this sequence than what I caught the first time around. Also, I noticed a few tidbits more of connective tissue to the prequels the second time watching the movie...

    Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

    Well I saw it! I was very, very satisfied. It lived up to my expectations, and most importantly, I really fell in love with the new characters. There were a lot of big choices-- that Poe's meme clearly pointed out--that I had a problem with as a fan, but ultimately I think they were used in...

    Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

    So cool. New Star Wars music might be what I'm most excited for in this movie--the music's gonna be good no matter what.

    The Legend of Tarzan

    Seeing Sam Jackson in it freaked me out, @ 1:20 specifically. I don't know too much about Tarzan outside of the Disney movie I've seen like once and Kingdom Hearts. The visual direction, use of the period, and Christoph Waltz as Clayton are all very cool choices. I am intrigued.

    What games are you currently playing?

    In college--no console. BUT I started Outlast over Thanksgiving break, which is something I've been meaning to get to for a long time, and it's waiting for me when I come home in a week. Sufficient in the spooks department. I'm very excited to get back into it.

    Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

    If anyone has time to kill, I just started this last night. It's another one of those prequel fan-edits--I've started watching a couple different ones and they've never been able to hold my attention. This one I made it through a solid 40 minutes of and hope to finish tonight. What's cool...

    NEW TRAILER!!!!!

    I am honestly pretty concerned about them oversexing Tifa. Obviously she's a very powerful woman and has some.... assets... but I think it's fair to say that Tifa's design in the OG 100% accurately translated for the remake would look ridiculous. Most of the characters we've seen look very...

    Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

    I've actually consistently had bad experiences watching feature films on my local IMAX screen. The screen's like four stories high. It's very cool. I've seen a lot of really immersive documentaries there, but when I saw Star Trek and The Hobbit they just didn't look right. Maybe it's because...

    FF7 Remake "Multi part series"

    the connection between X and VII is one of those things that I thought was cool when I first heard. Who wouldn't? It's arguably the series' two most successful entries... But the more I really try to think about it the more it bothers me. VII and X feel very different all around, there...

    FF7 Remake "Multi part series"

    While I don't think new story elements would necessarily be a bad thing, I'm really hoping that all of this extra content is more along the lines of beefier level design.

    Hello & HELP

    I've said some embarrassing things during my tenure here. :o It's really bizarre to think that I was talking about an FFVII remake with roughly the same group of people when I was in middle school, and am now doing the exact same thing as an adult with the same group of people.

    Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

    In a little over a week, this thread is going to be my home. I am beyond excited for this movie. I have been actively playing catch-up with the Star Wars canon--just about everything except for the novels they've been putting out. Avoiding spoilers, TV spots--I haven't seen any footage...

    NEW TRAILER!!!!!

    I have the feeling Barrett will take off the sunglasses before the second mission. I think everyone noted how sorta grumpy and closed-off he sounded in the trailer. My guess is the glasses will come down as he starts to open up as a character.

    FF7 Remake "Multi part series"

    I'm curious as to what this supplemental new content is going to be. I know everyone else was worrying about an overabundance of nods to the Compilation entries, but I don't THINK that that's going to be the cases. I think this more likely means more enemies, more missions, more side...
