I need to see more of this. I've seen several P-51's essentially built from scratch, but a B17 is something else altogether. Fantastic, just fantastic.

The airplane stuff has been fantastic so far. Flying - I imagine a lot of this is done with CGI. I'm just super impressed that they seem to have gotten all of the flight dynamics right. So often these things turn into video games, as real WW2 aircraft weren't maneuverable enough to be so-called...

Unless she had been told ten years prior to not admit she knew him personally in "public" correspondence. A lot better than her old man blabbing, "I think I'll head to Tatooine to take care of the Lars boy".

Unpopular opinion forthcoming: Better than Rogue One There, I said it

I still stick with "a person can enjoy this". Not putting down those who are having issues with OB1, but I enjoy it. My wife enjoys it, my kids enjoy it, my friends all like it. It seems that only those people here on RPF, at least in my universe, have anything negative to say. Again, not saying...

Battlestar Galactica (the new series). Because it was set up in the show's DNA right from the beginning.

Me too. I'm glad to hear another say this. There's so much bashing going on here - and those who are critical are entitled to that opinion, and are no more correct or wrong than am I in mine - it would be easy to take away nobody enjoys this show. To me, Star Wars has always been written for a...

On the subject of the loader droid rescuing Obi-Wan while Vader seemed unable to extinguish the fire: He let them go. It's the only explanation for the ease of their escape.

Promenade: Lovely piece. Very different from what you think of when you think of "Jaws" music

If you've not listened to the soundtrack to Schindler's List recently, you owe it to yourself to do so. It's one of Williams's most outstanding works. Along with everything else he's done. They're all outstanding. Can't think of a stinker in the group.

An old thread, but I just started watching the show since season two dropped recently. Nicely done!

THE Ohio State University. Notion is right on...

Upon a second viewing of ep2, I've had a thought about the Tuskens. To me, there's no way Boba can stake a claim to Jabba's empire with only himself, Fennec, and a couple of Gamoreans - he needs more support than that, a lot more. Also, these flashbacks of his life with the sand people have to...

I think it would have been an interesting statement to have built on the "do people really want to be out of the matrix" thing. I mean, what if the whole population were to learn they were living in a simulation, and fought back against Neo of their own free will, in order to not be rescued?
