I've had to skip a whole bunch of posts here, because of spoilers -- I ain't complaining, it's my own gorram fault for not getting to the theaters yet! I loathe Tom Cruise, but I was sold on seeing this movie the moment I learned he dies in it -- over and over and over again. Yessirree Bob! I'll be happy to spend money to see that!
(Actually, I loved the trailers -- I wanna see the exo-suits in action! Just... gotta get to the theaters and do it! I **think** it's still showing at our local megaplex...)

LOL! I'm with you capt. Hate Tom. But couldn't say no to the previews. And I'm so glad I did go see it! It's a really good action-escapist sci-fi movie. Best of the year so far for me. (OK, but the year's not over...)
Now go see it so you can read the spoilers and join the debate!
And welcome! I think you're new right?

Yup! I'm a noob here. Slowly but surely catching up on different conversation threads here -- my first lesson was to stay off the Real World Discussions section and my second is that WOW! Insane fandom history I am so so grateful to have missed out on! (I guess the upside for taking forever to dive into Firefly fandom is that I got to miss out on some of the doublepluscrazypants)
I've never understood why so many gals of my generation swoon over Tom Cruise. Just never got it. I will say, however, that I thought he was very, very good as the psycho killer in that Michael Mann film with Jamie Foxx. He wears them crazy-panties like a natural...
A question had been asked earlier about who would we have preferred to have seen cast in the lead role, instead of Tom Cruise? Bill Paxton would have been an interesting choice! Or Timothy Olyphant (of Deadwood & Justified fame). Or how about Anson Mount (the lead in AMC's Western series "Hell on Wheels")? Personally, I think just from what I've seen from the trailers, Anson Mount would have ROCKED that role! (Plus... he's a hottie!)

All the fandom stuff is indeed awesome. And necessary. It's heart breaking to get through the episodes and movie and realize that there is no more. Well, the comics, but that's not as satisfying. This site got me over the withdrawal LOL!

I love Olyphant. Sexy guy! Haven't heard of Hell on Wheels. Good?

Collateral? It didn't stand out for me.

How do you get to Potsie (Anson Williams) from Anson Mount? The latter was just one year old when Happy Days premiered.

In answer to the question regarding Hell on Wheels: YES! Very good! (Plus... I have a sneaky suspicion the central character is Mal Reynolds great-greatisty-great grandpappy, centuries on down the line... watch a few episodes and let me know if you agree!)
The series is on Netflix now -- at first, I thought it was a Deadwood-wanna-be (and I will always mourn the loss of HBO's Deadwood, almost as much as Firefly), but HoW has gotten increasingly stronger season by season.

Agreed! Well crafted at every turn, and Emily Blunt was made for this part.

"Have I misunderstood "the Bridge scene" reference? Do you mean when he was on the bike and looks down from the bridge? Or something else?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, that's the scene I was referring to. He's on his bike and looks down from the bridge.
And, just so you know, I will answer your questions in due time. I have a lot on my plate just now.
(To be continued.........)

Faulty recall. Plus have not seen the referenced performances. My lack of cable disrupts my flow of relevant data.
