#4  Padding My Stats :)

Tom Cruise (Minority Report) and Val Kilmer (Tombstone) do The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence...In Space!!...into an Asia Kate Dillon (John Wick 3) 'Adjudicator' with a Hard Boiled (John Woo) feel.

#3  I feel we missed a Tom Cruise/Val Kilmer Space-Western; not Oblivion - no offense to Morgan Freeman - something more like what The Expanse was trying to do, shaved down to a movie length, sequels.

#2  ^ Definitely a great movie title. It is too long for a band name.

Noted in passing: Tombstone with Val Kilmer was released in 1993

#1  The Battle of 12 Directions sounds like either a Tom Cruise Sci-Fi movie or a Hong Kong Cop-Fu.

I miss good movies.
