Over in TV groups they're commenting it's independent of the movies. Not sure how they're going to do it.

Someone brought up the fact that two producers had a sort of first right of refusal on any TV Trek, and they canceled Enterprise and kept Trek off the air until Paramount could fire them. Apparently they're gone now.

I watched it in theaters when it came out. I recall my eight year old self enjoying it, but not much else.

It may be an issue of existing standing sets not, well, existing. Just like many old SF/Fantasy movies took place in modern day because it was cheaper than creating a new world, so just renting a warehouse is going to be cheaper than rebuilding some Chinese town. What sets do exist may be priced out of the reach of low end productions.

The Bad Astronomer doesn't really have a problem with the idea.

Fun fact: I saw it at church during a youth group lock-in.

If you haven't seen the current live tour of the Wall, you must do so. The DVD comes out in December, but for the longest time you could get the full concert on youtube. Waters has clarified the message to be anti-war, perhaps a bit too much, but it's still great. Saw it both times it came to Buffalo.

As for the movie, my problem is mostly it's all at one level. There are no highs or lows, it's all high points. It needs some variation, so you can rest. At the very least, it needs the act break both the album had (when you change disks) and the stage show.

For the fun of it, check out the old Sneak Previews review of it.

With adaptations, it's all about what is kept and what is cut. A different script writer would have ignored certain things as silly unneeded detail. Loved the Leather Goddess of Phobos reference.

Saw The Martian today. Fun movie. I enjoyed it more than Gravity, but I boil that down to the main character knowing what they were doing and not "accidentally" surviving much of the time. It does seem to be a Mary Sue, the creator going "well, if *I* was stuck on Mars, I't do THIS!", but it overcomes it. I'm amused by XKCD comparing it to 50 Shades of Grey. I especially liked the little touches, like what games were on the laptop. I hope this leads to a Leather Goddess of Phobos movie.

If he goes against his previous moral conclusion, it would be interesting. In Genesis of the Daleks, which we see clips from, the Doctor concludes the Daleks actually made the universe unite against them, and that was a positive. Thus he didn't destroy them when he had a chance.

As is often the case, it depends on when you start and stop your data collection. Go back one more year and you Have Spiderman 2 winning. The previous three years had the Lord of the Rings films, with ':' in the titles, winning. At that point your theory takes hold again, as Terminator 2: Judgement Day was way back a decade earlier.

I doubt they used a matte. A black bag over his head would be the easiest way to do it, with maybe some hand painting around the edge.
