Just getting pumped up for November 20th now. Date was pushed up 5 days earlier compared to my orig post.
IMOO the excellent adventure was the best one of all.
Well if things don't get better in Hollywood, then it's the end of the movie industry.

Lots. They are trying to reignite.the industry slowly back and streaming and vod services are starting trouble with the theatres.
But I completely agree: Hollywood and the Woke morons have completely destroyed many old series.
In related news: I just heard that Disney's live remake of Mulan has flopped hard that the earthquake detectors felt it.
Just another casuality of over-long copyrights and Woke Morons. Couldn't happen to a nicer company (after they ruined
Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.).

Yu know, I was sent a prank message that read: "This is what the new inclusive live version of Mulan looks like!"
The message featured a picture of a big, muscled black dude. It had a caption that said: Mulano.
And yes I have heard it went so bad they are releasing it for free on Disney+ hahaha. Actually a bit sad since it had Donnin Yen (whose kung-fu is always fun to watch) and that hot chick from The Forbidden Kingdom.
I dind't know Disney had Borged Star Trek too. It makes sense. The last I watched had a very PC vibe to it. "We are not military, we are explorers!". Jeeeeeeeesus, that is why Enterprise had shields and a shitton of photonic torpedos and phasers, because they were a pleassure yatch.

Netflix wanted to purchase the James Bond catalog from MGM. No dice. MGM claims

Ya, Star Trek was supposed to have that Heinlein vibe. They were explorers, but they needed military disipline to not die in space.
But the PC crowd doesn't like the ideas of discipline (well, not in *this* context) and self-control.

It's not free, It's an extra $30 or something on top of your Disney+ subscription. And it's not because things "went poorly" it's because that's how movies are being released now.

I've heard many people liked Roger Moore as James Bond. I don't remember if I've seen his Bond movies though - maybe just parts. My favorite was Pierse Brosnan.
1. Disney doesn't own Star Trek.
2. You're whining about modern trek not being militarized enough? are you fucking serious? Watching modern Trek is like watching an action flick. The last episode of Season 2 of Discovery was an hour long giant space battle that put anything BSG ever did to shame.
Discovery doesn't really "feel" like Star Trek to me. Season 2 was definitely an improvement, and I do hope they make the "Brave New World" series with Pike. I do think that CBS needs to just re-visit what
they're doing and get some legacy producers and writers back in the fold.
I actually enjoyed the Kelvin movies. That said, "The Orville" feels
more like Star Trek than anything coming out of Paramount or CBS lately.

Last thing I have heard is they removed the 30 usd extra.
I don't know about the ST series, but in the last film of the reboot, they made it very clear that the Enterprise is not a military ship, with Kirk getting angry when such thing was suggested. "We are not going in a military mission" etc etc etc.

... Gossip is when you hear something you like about someone you don't.
As far as I know, the original Star Trek film had Enterprise be retired beca the Federation signed Peace with the Klingons.
My case is settled
For the record, they also had this anti-militaristic vibe in Pacific Rhim. T movie makers wanted to make clear that the heroes were "rangers" and thus th didn't use military ranks. Because movilizing the biggest war machines in hu history in order to defeat alien invaders is not what military organizations do.
The movie was fun but god it was B-like plotted.

Did I hear correctly that the Orville series has been dropped after this next season? I guess Lower Decks will have to pick up the absence of Trek humor.

Orville is great, and feels like ST:TNG, which is great. Discovery feels like the newer Star Trek movies however, and is just as good IMHO.
Have you watched Lower Decks yet? If you like Orville, don't miss Lower Decks.

I beg to differ.
Some of them were quite good, but they are obviously jumping this badwagon of replacing good plots with cringeworthy humor and an overload of computer generated effects.
I myself think there has been a decline in quality since the first Avengers movie.
By the time they were campaigning against white heterosexual males I had already lost interest in the franchise.
I don't think going SJW and campaigning against the biggest percentage of your target audience equals going broke. But it is not good finantially either.
Most people I know didn't use to care much, and I'd say it was safe for a film producer, literary magazine or RPG publisher to inject vast loads of political propaganda. The target audience they were attacking would complain but still buy their products.
Differ all you want. The numbers don't lie. People enjoy the hell out of those flicks.
I haven't seen signs of them "campaigning against" white, heterosexual male I've only seen signs of them trying to include a representation of those who are not white, heterosexual males.

Because Lefties never admit their mistakes and always double down on their bad decisions. That's why "Get Woke, Go Broke" is a fact.

Numbers are no proof of quality. Saying that a film is good because everybody is watching it is like saying Windows Vista is great because everybody was using it back in the day. Current Marketing techniques ensure that crappy products can get great profits as long as they are backed by a corporation with big wallets.
I haven't seen signs of them "campaigning against" white, heterosexual
male I've only seen signs of them trying to include a representation
of those who are not white, heterosexual males.
For starters, Black Panther had a big ideologial background according to which whites sucked and owed black people, and such concept was repeated more than once, taken for granted by the main characters, and presented as undeniable truth.
By the way, it looks to me that you are the one who is alone defending your position here, not me, so next time you try to make somebody feel marginalized ensure you are not the marginalized person.
Hey buddy, If I'm marginalizing you, I'm marginalizing me, too. Maybe we should spend some time as the minority, see how it feels. You might have som fucking compassion, then.
I am curious as to how many of those contain deliberate virtual signaling or political propaganda. Also The Last Jedi was made by Lucas Films well before Disney borged it in so it doesn't really count.

"good" in the terms of filmography is subjective. If you don't like a movie, fine. But in the grand scheme of things, it's all about how much money it makes.
What a suprise when I told him that I'm not a "disney" guy, I'm more Hanna Barbea guy when we talk about classics and I don't care about what Disney do these days as much as I'm curious about smaller/indie studios.
I don't want to sound snob but I have found myself
gravitating from more mainstream works and focusing on
classics. There are thousands of hours of recorded films
already, I don't feel like I need more films to be made.
Specially if big producers are going to rehash the same
ideas again and again and again.

New producers love to create or rehash their versions using
younger actors or use newer film techologies. It will never
end.

The classics are good, but sometimes you might find yourself wanting to watch something you haven't seen before.
Similarly for music, I've listened to classic rock for a long time, and I have a lot of old favorites, but occasionally I fe
like I don't want to listen to something I've listened to possibly hundreds of times already (exaggerating).

What grinds my gears is that there are actual new ideas out there. It is just lots of producers are choosing not to take them to the screen.

"Hackers" from 95 with A. Jolie did not make its revenue targets back
in the days, today it's a total classic.

they dont think new ideas work. look at all the superhero movies. that's the business now. if you dont put on tights, they might not have work.
read some screenplays. they are total garbage. they are poorly written and just a framework for them to build on.
i havent seen a good movie in over 5 years.

I'm also not a huge fan of superhero movies, and I get tired of seeing all the superhero releases they're making these days.
What kind of movies do you like? I think there are some interesting ones here and there. If you like sci-fi, I think Predestination (2014) was
Disney since 2009, they really didn't get merged until 2015. So that knocks out some of those too (Iron Man 3, The Avengers). I really enjoyed the early Marvel films, but the later ones just weren't that entertaining. I Goodwilled many of the later ones or never bothered to purchase them.
Everything that Disney touches now, it ruins.
They were. Until Stan Lee died and the films took a Left turn into
Woke-ness.
With Stan or not, it's just too much Marvel to me. There was a moment that it totally dominated the cinema new releases worth considering and hid in shadows anything else you could only discover via online streaming or niche theaters.
After 20+ movies (including tv-shows) I've started perceiving Marvel as Brazilian love-story soap opera kind of thing. Episode 12351, Joe visits a mall and talks about the experience for half of a show...
I stopped going to cinemas when I just got sick of Marvel and Star Wars all together. Netflix and my own dvd collection helped me maintain the feeling that movies are still relevant to inspire with something new
It can be a saying. It's obviously not true. Disney films are raking
in the dough.
*Laugh* You need to get your news from something other than Leftie
Media. Mulan, for example, tanked at the box office. Disney lost
big and has been losing for quite some time.
Funny, at work a friend told me that he just subscribed to Disney+ and asked me if I have done that as well and what kind of sentimental Disney movie guy I'm.

done a lot, but it has a twist. For comedy, I thought "Always Be My Maybe" was fairly good. It's a romantic comedy, and I know it might
not be everyone's thing though.
My dad's generation grew up on Disney and I enjoyed what little I was exposed to. But I grew up on Hanna/Barbera too and that's where my loyalties lie.
Many of the Disney stuff was pretty dated by the time that I saw it and, while fairly entertaining, really didn't resonate with me.

It's all find for kids, maybe that's the target audience, new generation to meet the same shit we think we had already seen better.

I had a friend who made decent money writing screenplays as a side
hustle. I swear that her strategy was to check as many boxes as
possible to convince a studio to option it just to prevent any legal
action when another script is made into a movie with some of the
elements that my friend put in hers.
It must have worked, she made mid-5 figures writing after dinner.
... "Well, you were right about this being a bad idea."
It was either Dave Gerrold or DC Fontana on the commentary track for the Start Trek Animated Series box set who mentioned something about turning away viewer authored scripts because of the mess the studio had with people trying to get credit for writing less than original ideas for stories the in house writers already discussed, or have written well before the fan submitted his script.

Even though they intentionally avoided fan letters and
submissions, there are so many cliches in science fiction
and mainstream story telling that someone could easily
come up with the same plot independently. That would sure
be hard to fight in court unless the writers had good
documentation to mark when and how stories were fleshed
out.

You make it sound like Disney is old news.. Disney is still around and producing movies.

Even records like that can be faked or back-dated.
Some time ago I read that one way to prove such submissions is
to send a copy of a script to yourself via register mail - and
NOT open it. Should the claim for original authorship arise
in court, the registered letter if opened by the judge would
help settle the matter.
