A Day of Moviegoing at Regal Edwards...

Since I got off work early today, I decided to watch Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith on the big screen again!

A Day of Moviegoing at AMC Theatres...

Gettin' ready to watch Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (which celebrates the 20th anniversary of its theatrical release next month) today...

The last time I saw Revenge of the Sith at the movie theater was on July 10, 2005 (according to my personal journal)!

A Cool Bit of Casting That I'd Like to See for a Live-Action ROBOTECH Film...

So in the wake of her rising stardom after appearing as Mook in the hit HBO TV series The White Lotus, it occurred to me that Lalisa Manoban—best known as Lisa on the Korean pop group Blackpink—would be awesome as Lin Minmei in a live-action Robotech film!

For those of you not familiar with Robotech, this classic 1980's cartoon is an American adaptation of three Japanese anime series: Super Dimension Fortress (SDF) Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. Minmei is a character from SDF Macross.

The reason why I think Lisa would be awesome as Minmei is because this Macross character is an idol singer and film star, just like Lisa in real life, who uses her songs to confuse enemy Zentradi forces as this alien species wages war against the humans living on the SDF-1 Macross spaceship (shown above).

Minmei would be an interesting role for Lisa, as the blue-haired singer is caught up in a love triangle with Rick Hunter (Macross' hotshot fighter pilot and chief protagonist) and Lisa Hayes, the ranking first officer aboard SDF-1.

Minmei would be a scene-chewing role for Lisa—especially when Minmei, or at least a hologram of her, flies off into battle to sing her enchanting songs as Macross Veritech fighters take on the Zentradi in deep space or on Earth.

There have been talks about a Robotech feature film for over 15 years now...with Spider-Man's Tobey Maguire initially taking the helm on bringing this cool animated series to the big screen. When Robotech does get greenlit for production (by Sony Pictures), hopefully Lisa will be considered for a role in this movie.

One can only dream!

So am I the only one who thinks that Lalisa would be awesome as Minmei in a live-action ROBOTECH film?#Macross #BLACKPINK #WhiteLotus pic.twitter.com/VAXz6RAqHM

A New, Long-Awaited Category Will Soon Be Presented at the Academy Awards...

It was announced earlier today that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will soon have a new category to present at the Academy Awards a few years from now...for Best Stunt Design!

This award to recognize stunt performers in the filmmaking community has been years in the making, with the first Best Stunt Design Oscar to be presented in 2028—during the 100th Academy Awards ceremony.

Director David Leitch (who helmed 2024's The Fall Guy, 2022's Bullet Train and 2018's Deadpool 2) led the initiative on behalf of the stunt community to bring this new official Oscar category to fruition.

Can't wait to see who'll take home the first trophy for stunt design! This category will honor movies that will be released in 2027, so will Avengers: Secret Wars, The Batman: Part II and Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum be among the first nominees? Stay tuned.
