The Andorians have played an increasingly prominent part of the franchise since then, with Jeffrey Combs’ Shran becoming a fan-favorite member of this race on Enterprise. While the helmet designers didn’t explicitly mention this, they were most likely taking their Andorian design cues more from The Original Series than Enterprise because Discovery is meant to initially take place about 10 years before the adventures of Captain Kirk. In this way, the design was simultaneously inspired by the earliest Star Trek adventures as well as a very recognizable anime style. Source link

As it turns out, audiences were more than ready for a funny superhero film: The Lego Batman Movie earned $312 million against a budget of only $80 million. The film similarly impressed critics, as it currently has a 90 percent critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes. For the most part, critics praised the film for being as beautiful as it was funny, delivering a rare superhero film that is family-friendly and appeals to both adults and children alike. Honestly, I have to agree with the majority of critics: The Lego Batman Movie is easily a 5-star film, one that manages to perfectly parody the Dark Knight while coming from an obvious place of love. Almost every frame is filled with Easter eggs and in-jokes, but none detract from an impossibly tight script and one killer line delivery after anoth...

George Miller’s post-apocalyptic saga offers few refuges of near-civilization to its doomed characters. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome introduces us to Bartertown, one these few heartless oases. Robbed of almost everything in the desert by a clever pilot, Max finds his way to Bartertown with only one thing to trade—death. Proving his skill in an impromptu ambush/audition, Max makes a deal with Bartertown boss Aunty Entity (Turner) to assassinate her rival Master Blaster. But Master Blaster isn’t just a man, but two men: there is the mechanical adept The Master (Angelo Rossitto) and the physically powerful man who carries him around, The Blaster (Paul Larsson). When Max comes close to accomplishing his mission but learns more about the nature of The Blaster, things go sideways between Max and ...

As Fly Me to the Moon opens, we meet Cole Davis (Tatum), the launch director at NASA in Cape Canaveral, Florida, and his deputy, Henry Smalls (Ray Romano), as Cole chases a black cat off the premises in a comical scene that focuses on the superstitions of scientists and engineers with heightened concerns over everything going right, for good reason. Cut to a scene in a Manhattan high-rise, and we meet Kelly Jones (Johansson), a gorgeous, savvy adwoman selling the Ford Mustang with seat belts to a board room full of men. She lands her pitch, and her assistant, Ruby (Anna Garcia), marvels over Kelly’s ability to sell anything to anyone.  Source link

His solution to that particular problem was, of course, to write a new song, one titled “Captain Mudd.” In Russo’s mind, the main thing making this sequence “schizophrenic” was “there were all these cuts, it was happening again and again and again, and he was in that time loop.” By having a singular piece of music play throughout the entire montage, he hoped to give the scene cohesion that it wouldn’t otherwise have. This montage is arguably the most memorable part of “Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad,” and Russo’s new song is a big reason for the scene’s success. Rather than have this song play the same way throughout the montage, he “would do things like change the tempo a little bit, or slow down the tempo a little bit, or change something as opposed to trying to make a big shift eve...

Chung’s father didn’t know a storm shelter might be needed in northwest Arkansas. They were unaware of the location’s proximity to the infamous Tornado Alley that generally runs from Texas north through Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Three weeks after moving into their new home, the Twisters director said woke the family in the middle of the night, loaded them into the family car, and searched for a safe place to ride out the storm. Chung said his family was unaware that a car is unsafe during a tornado. Fortunately, the twister missed them and their home, but Chung said he’ll never forget the experience. His family eventually became used to the potential for tornadoes to disrupt their lives, much like those along the Gulf Coast being accustomed to hurricanes and tropical storms disruptin...
