Might be digressing a bit here, but I'm just looking at Prochnow's filmography on IMDB now and wondering if I was being truly harsh about his movie choices, whether there was more bad than good. Although he does seem to be "take roles to pay the rent" kind of actor and there's definetely some...

Nah, I'm not buying that, sorry. The young cast contrasting old cast idea is a very obvious one that any film director or casting director could think of, I think Prinze Jr. was a bad casting decision and they mostly wanted a young name actor with youth audience appeal. Matthew Lillard I have...

One of my complaints is Freddie Prinze Jr, period.

But that's the nature of films that are in development, it isn't always a certain thing. I wouldn't judge the site on that.

IMDB is accurate as people make it, not every single one of the millions of pieces of information it has is going to be totally accurate. I imagine it's pretty accurate with entries for all the famous films, not so much with more obscure films and video games (it's not exactly a video game database)

I don't think this was the only place that said it but it's IMDB page says: "This was one of only three films that was released with the theatrical trailer for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). Many people paid admission to see the trailer and then walked out of the theater."...

I appreciate that, but I just thought it was slightly odd to get in your car (or whatever) and go to your local multiplex and buy a ticket to watch a trailer and then go home again, not even giving the film a chance. To imagine thousands of people doing this just makes it seem strange (but as...

Again, I'm probably digging myself in deeper making people like Wedge009 think I'm a troll but I imagine most people who haven't heard of the games taking a glance at this and immediately pegging it as some Direct-to-Video kind of movie that you'd find in a bargain bin or in a late-night TV slot...

Is it really true that a lot of people went to see it in the cinema just because of the Phantom Menace trailer before it and then apparentely didn't stay watch the film? I find that a little hard to believe (buying a ticket for a trailer seems idiotic to me, forget that today everything's on the...

Should I now add a poll or not, do you think?

Everyone wants something for nothing these days.

(Probably shouldn't be saying this) And how well did it do with non Wing Commander fans :p

I find speed and nimbleness very important in the Wing Commander games. I only remember the Thunderbolt's single torpedo coming in handy a couple of times (like the Laconda IV mission with the bioweapon capship missiles). And I thought it's guns didn't compare to the Excalibur's quad tachyon...

Actually, screw this. I decided I didn't want to bother starting this debate as just I was posting it but now I can't delete it. This was going to be a poll thread.

When you see the title for this thread, you may think "How unoriginal" but I'm asking this because I think I need to know before I offend anyone any further. Personally I just cannot see this as a good film, and I consider it totally seperate from the main Wing Commander canon (but then it was a...

At least he praised Wing Commander rather than slagging it off (except for the movie but who can blame him?) I kind of agree a little bit with what he says about WC4, the FMV climax is more entertaining than the last mission, although the Vesuvius missions are probably the real climax of the...

What the hell are you talking about? The Thunderbolt was a clunky old thing, the Excalibur was twice as fast and maneuverable and had better guns and two more missiles, not to mention much better looking!

Well I suppose it's better than their reunion in WC2 where they just go "Hey, how ya doin!" WC3 was the first one I played anyway, I wonder if it was the one a lot of other WC fans first played. Besides I never really thought Maniac was an asshole, he was lovable comic relief (even if he was...

I think with many stories that run into a long "series" the writers don't seem to have planned the whole thing out from the very beginning, they make a lot of it up as they go along. Sometimes this creates inconsistencies in the characters. Look at Tolwyn, in WC2 he's a fairly basic...

Dubbing into other languages is never good IMHO, whether it's English being dubbed into a foreign language or a foreign language being dubbed into English. It's only OK with comedic Asian films or animated films. Sometimes with DVDs I'll switch to the foreign dubs (if available) for a little...
