And again, I thought that Hasbro would probably gear the next Haslab project to another boys toys license:  Transformers, Marvel, maybe even use it to re-launch GI Joe.


GI JOE's fate seems to depend on if Hasbro can get another movie made. The Snake-Eyes movie seems to be stalling.

I guess we'd be wise to order one and then sell it and spend the money on Haslab's next next project....a life-sized doll of Pink Power Ranger Amy Jo Johnson.

What, Freddie Jones died??? Oh no, he was a sci-fi icon! Loved that guy. :(

Everybody all "Larry Sanders" and "MIB" with Rip Torn but no one remembers his epic turn as the evil high priest Maax in Beastmaster!

I do.
I almost put that, but NADINE was more obscure!  ;)

That's the way to cookie monster crumbles. This is a red flag that Hasbro isn't renewing the Star Wars license. You just don't kill momentum like that. The Khetanna was a final milking of love letter to collectors.

This based on a rumor I read from C. Little.  :P

Two Texans

RIP Rip Torn.
Best remembered for his role as Buford Pope in Nadine.  :P

And ROSS PEROT, best remembered for being played by Dana Carvey.

And non-Texan Freddie Jones, who was Thufir Hawatt in DUNE and was also in KRULL.

Chap-Mei stuff is mixed bag. I found some vehicles at a garage sale for a few bucks each and got a couple. They usually disappoint, like the 6 wheeled armor car. It looks good, but the only figure interaction is one opening turret hatch.

Now we are getting fillerish.

Annoying kids are still annoying.

I'd like to point out that Z NATION did their nuke plant meltdown story in one episode.

Alfred Dorrie keeping the letter secret from Bruce Dwight. We back on that "with holding information" stuff again.

Ballooooon fakery.

It's amusing they decided that FTWD isn't worthy of a Talking Dead after each episode anymore.

So the woman's partner freaked out over radioactive zombies? What?

Mountain climbing was unexpected, and well...a bit convoluted.  How exactly did both undead climbers die?

Of course she's a lesbian or bi or whatever.

It wasn't bad, but they seem to dragging this so-so story "stuck in the high country" line out. Where is their region where there's a nuclear plant, a western town, and all routes out are blocked?

Best new character is Skidmark the cat.

Morgan and Dwight reunite in a wild west ghost town.

Did anyone expect this?

Those kids suck. They could be living in a wild west ghost town...instead of a van...down by the river...

I kept forgetting it was a  period movie.

Should've gotten Dana Carvey as George Bush Sr.

"Read my lips, no New Mutants!"

Yeah, as some reviewer pointed out, Beast should be in his 50's but doesn't act like it. Mutant aging!
Smurfette's Mystique's make-up was changed a lot over these movies.

The Last Stand's cure plot worked better than the plot with Jessica Chastain in Dark Phoenix.

So, anyone see DARK PHOENIX?

Anyone???

The final X-Men movie for awhile...except the New Mutants stuck in tinkering hell...I think it was filmed when Obama was president...the first term!!  :P

Anyway, it's not very good. Dark Phoenix, that is. Fassbender and McAvoy are good in it. It seems rather light for its 1 hour 54 minutes. 
No post credits or mid credits scenes.

They wanted to get to the truck stop because Luciana was wounded and there were supplies there.  Of course the only reason she was hurt is because they all got on a plane WITH NOT A SINGLE EXPERIENCED PILOT AMONG THEM!!!!!!

Yeah, but again, if this truck stop was surrounded by undead, bringing a wounded Luciana there and hope plow through the walkers? Admittedly there were much options, but...

So you had
1. No experienced pilot.
2. No planned landing area
3. Rushing to what they were told was a besieged truck stop because one of them was gravely wounded.
4. Lucked out that the kids were nearby and had a running vehicle that could carry them all.

Then Lois Lane has to go back to crash site alone at night during a zombie apocalypse.

Morgan's guilt trip about helping people is just that strong, even though they've yet to find anyone after months!

Also, I like how they left a crate of weapons at the crash site.  Now they are gone.  Yet, they wanted to rush to the truck stop and....the plan was...? Few weapons. Supposedly surrounded by walkers.

I like that Matt Frewer survived this zombie apocalypse. And he's the new smart antagonist that tricks the idiots heroes into abandoning the compound, which he owns...anyway.  Though, no one is paying property taxes...so...wait, no government.

Next week there's a wild west ghost town where  ever they are stuck, so gang, let's split up and solve this mystery!  Maybe they can find Scrappy... Al. Or is Alicia Scrappy?
