At long last watched Rouge One and enjoyed it, better than Star Wars episode 7. Darth Vader really kicked butt very near the end and got a good laugh at the sarcastic K-2SO. Right now the cgi actors, well Peter Cushing was rather mixed for me as the close up's did not work but the further away shots and in the dark came across alright. As for the younger Carrie Fisher some what of a cring scene because the lighting was bright but it was brief.

The girlfriend picked up SpaceBalls on DVD the other day. Movie is still good.

One of my quirks is I like to listen to the commentary tracks on a lot of movies after watching it normally. Mel Brooks has the WORST commentary track I have ever heard. All he does is name the actors, and then explain the jokes. We get the jokes Mel! Give us better stories!.

I also like to listen to the commentary tracks on DVDs. About the quality of the commentaries, it should be kept in mind that on older, pre-DVD era films, the persons doing the commentaries many times have only fairly dim recollections of specifics regarding the film they are speaking about; many times, also, there are considerations of possible old conflicts, or "bad blood", that may be bubbling under the surface of the commentaries; A lot of factors can color or influence what a person says in commentaries. In Mel's case, he probably did the commentary some 20 years after the original release of the film and was most likely weary of talking about it and may have forgotten some of the details about which viewers may have been most curious...

^ Comb the desert!

Rumours say Mel Brooks is working on a sequel to the original Spaceballs.
