I see JJ Abrams has signed the dotted line. I can't think of anyone better suited to direct these movies, and it's heartening that Lawrence Kasdan has also been brought back to the franchise. I'm for one very excited about this.  | ||

Yes Tony! I've been looking forward to the continuation of the original trilogy for 30 years. Who hasn't? Having watched his sci-fi series 'Fringe' i'm expecting great things. | ||

Let's hope Palpatine had the sagacity to get himself cloned. No Ewoks, please! And do we really want to see an elderly Harrison Ford playing the old smoothie again, or a fat Fisher showing a leg? | ||

Oh. I've always been disappointed by his films, found them bland. Is having one man in charge of Star Trek and Star Wars a good idea? The world doesn't need more homogeneity does it? | ||

J.J. Abrams is a producer, first and foremost, and not part of the real creative team behind any of his projects. He has good instinct but that's it. 'Lost' was shit. 'Fringe' is inspired. It's all to do with the people he surrounds himself with. Abrams is to modern genre TV what David Bowie was to rock and Madonna was to pop. End of... | ||

Star Wars/Star Trek crossover, anyone? | ||

Might as well! They're both at their artistic nadir. But then I LOVE Star Treks I, V and VII, so what do I know? | ||

A contingent of ET's and the Enterprise flying over Coruscant in The Phantom Menace is bad enough. Let's leave it at that. | ||

I didn't know they were there. Let's get Indy teaming up with Han Solo (they can even do a brief comedy double-rake) and Data meeting C3PO and really, really hating him. | ||

They could have Spock and Obi-Wan Kenobi chatting about what it's like to die. Scotty and Chewbacca complaining about how no one appreciates them even though they keep the ships flying (and how no one can understand their accents). Kirk and Luke discussing romantic liaisons -- "You think that's bad; I nearly slept with my sister!" And all the Star Fleet personnel in red shirts could finally breathe easy as Imperial Stormtroopers can't hit the broad side of a Foray-class blockade runner. | ||

More prequels! Haven't they learned anything? There was a standup comedian whose name escapes me talking about this and how it doesn't really matter where things come from and what a mistake this was for episodes I-III. ("You like Angelina Jolie? Well here's John Voight's ball-bag for you. Take a good look at that.") | ||

Speaking of such things (I won't use the horrid neologism), I thought Hannibal Rising was a very bad idea. | ||

You're right. Films of the future are bad. I'll stop looking forward to them ASAP. | ||

Ramsey, have you heard Martin Amis discussing Hannibal Rising in an interview about "monsters"? Hilarious. The whole thing is worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnKrEJgqv08 | ||
