Tell us not to see a LOTR movie without telling us not to see a LOTR movie ...

@catturd2 Correction - get rid of standard time (which we are now back on). What kind of standard is in place for a third of the time?

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

@StarWarsDaily_ Include the scene with Luke building his lightsaber.

@MyTimeToShineH I wish he had left off the epilogue section for a complete trilogy instead of an unfinished work. Also not a fan of the Martian Manhunter bit therein - doesn't feel right with Man of Steel. That said, definitely glad it finally saw the light of day more or less his way.

A little time change grumpiness: Sunset today is at 4:50 p.m. Because we changed our clocks. On purpose. One of these days we must spring forward and never, ever fall back.

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

@EJFisch It's worth the watch, especially for $10 a season. Especially if it's the remastered version that's currently on streaming.

Lifelong fan of DC and Superman. Which is why I'm going to sit out the James Gunn era. Wake me when they reboot again.

@bearmccreary Even the B-movies got A-scores. One of the greats.

@SpyHards One silly thing that always bugs me is the broken glass at the end. So many smashed bottles dismissed with a flip of the sheets (never mind the floor) and a quip.

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

@DaveBuzan Same here, but then didn't see AVTAK in the theater. Then started back with The Living Daylights. Saw them all through Spectre but then skipped NTTD (still haven't seen it). Also got to see From Russia with Love in a proper theater a few years back.

As for Disney - George's Star Wars > Disney's in every case. But on the Disney side of things - Rogue 1 > The Force Awakens > Solo > The Rise of Skywalker > The Last Jedi. Only two of those even got me to the theater.

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

And just to throw out a Star Wars film ranking - Star Wars > Empire > ROTJ > Episode 1 > Episode 2 > Episode 3 (and there's where I get in trouble with folks).

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

And then Section 31 should be last on any list, but also shouldn't be on a list with proper theatrical releases.

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

A little Star Trek ranking on Star Wars day. This Newsweek list isn't awful - *most* of the films are at least on the right end of the list. https://t.co/Fm0xiBo7dh

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

Fixing that ranking - Wrath of Khan > Search for Spock > Voyage Home > The Motion Picture > Undiscovered Country > Final Frontier. And if you must include the others - First Contact > Star Trek > Insurrection > Nemesis > Beyond > Into Darkness > Generations

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

Not you Dithney.

The 4th with be with you. Alwayth.

A little hail with the rain this evening. Hail is a fun word in the south.

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

@xwingxing @SWCozyCoffee I was including 1 - 3. That's what I meant or intended by "chronologically in the story," meaning in-universe.

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

I stand by this joke.

[David D. Dorton @DavidDorton]

If a small child loves poems, do you think they get teased for having haikoodies?
