  1. Anatomy of a Fall had enough English language content to qualify I see. A great movie. Deserving of multiple Oscars I feel.
  2. Thanks. Sardaukar and Chakobsa sound magnificent at least to me.
  3. On a random side note I just read that David J. Peterson was involved in the creation of the language used in the film. I remember him as a fan at a worldcon who was enthusiastic about creating languages some time before he got involved with GoT IIRC. His filmography is crazy at this point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_J._Peterson
  4. I noticed details I did not notice before in the IMAX. So if you are a normal person unlike me and only plan to watch it once I recommend that. I have not seen it in Dolby Cinema though and at least with the first one the sound with Dolby Atmos(which is used without Dolby Vision quite often) was superior to the one in the local IMAX. The director did recommend that sound solution for the first movie so I think you can't go wrong with picking that if you have the option as sound is a very important aspect of this movie.
  5. Well to be honest the setting only makes slightly more sense if all the book explanations for the tech are including. The idea that factions that refuse to use WMDs would keep control of an interstellar empire is ridiculous. Even if you assume that the empire could deny factions willing to use WMDs access to interstellar travel planetary factions willing to use them would take control of most planets over time. Edit: the shield/laser interaction is something that should never be mentioned. Only makes sense in a setting in which oppressed people are too stupid for terrorism. I enjoyed the books too but it's a setting that only makes sense with weird internal logic not some hard SF tale that makes sense if you take it apart.
  6. I think one thing that even the most pessimistic of us overlooked is that getting men of other ethnic groups killed is not really a problem for Russia. More a side benefit.
  7. Today I'm going to watch it in the local IMAX. 3rd time. I watched the first one 6 times in cinema and enjoyed it every time. I also rewatched it regularly at home. Don't expect me to be objective. :p Blu-ray is pre-ordered.
  8. The Swiss also voted against increasing the retirement age at the same time afaik.
  9. I enjoy rewatching parts of the first movie and the scenes in Smaugs lair. I still believe you could make one good movie out of the 3.
  10. Never saw a lot of it when it aired back in the day. I have been binging ancient TV shows for a while now though and not including SF/F this is probably my 3rd favourite oldish show I watched so far after Fraiser and The King of Queens.
  11. Personally I'm surprised that people with purist leanings would even watch the 2nd movie after seeing the 1st one. I mean I love it but I did not even enjoy the first season of GoT and that is a far more purist adaption.
  12. My introduction to the setting was the first Baldur's Gate. I read the early Drizzt books afterwards and enjoyed them. The best "book" set in the universe is the game Planescape Torment though. Such a sea of text.
  13. I saw the trailer in cinema and I loled when they mentioned that there is a faction that is Texas/California.
