    Space Mutiny. I've only ever seen it in MST3K version. I was LMAO through the thing. Captain Santa Claus - "Everyone Look lively!" Bot - "But she's dead." My worst list would be Space Mutiny Liquid Sky Manos the Hands of Fate.

    Are you sure they are spiked, they have the "Rain Caps" on the end, no ammo anywhere nearby, and the firing pins are almost certainly removed - but there is no need to actually spike the guns since they are quite harmless with no ammo around, unless they fell on someone....

    Is that any worse then changing the book's hispanic character to Mr mayonaise?
  4. Dynaman
    It just looks better and better.

    They have been, even the Iowa class ships are not really in any condition where they can be put back out to sea in any reasonable length of time. The New Jersey, in particular, is a tourist attraction anchored on the other side of Philadelphia in Camden NJ.

    I'll answer that with another question, If Goldfinger was as great as some people have indicated, why do all the sequals have nothing to do with it? No, 100% serious. CR was downright boring. Far too much exposition on Poker (or whatever boring card game they were playing). As for JB having a past, (different post), no he did not have a past, JB (the Bourne one, funny - only just noticed they share initials, should have realized since JB is another take on JB) is meant to be an anti-JB, the guy without a past working against the system, where the original JB was the guy without a past working for the system.

    Realistically the Sulaco would have had a crew to run the ship - the marines we see are the landing party rather then the Sulaco's crew. Certainly that is not the way it was depicted in the movie, but it is often cited as the unofficial canon. (non-canon canon, how fun). Some marines would have been left behind as ship's security too. (once again, even though the movie makes it plan they do not exist)

    I thought it was leaps and bounds better then Casino Royale myself. Nearly fell asleep in CR.

    > had his rage at the fanbase, he got to have his character killed off, and then what does the guy do? Yup, he NEVER should have killed off the priceline negotiator... Has for Mari, wasn't she the first (or darn near one of the first?) of the REALLY REALLY big anime VA/singers? She was young and probably took the job just to get some money and a little exposure. What she ended up with was the role that overshadowed anything else she would ever do. And unlike those that came after her she probably had no idea that the role would do that. That plus, if that post above is griping, then it is the mildest kind "I am grateful for the role, but it gets tiring sometimes", gee, sounds like something everyone can say.

    If the choice is between that and more films like Avengers, then yes, yes I do...

    Not exactly what I said. The fact that is what movie makers and the public think movies should aspire to is the problem. There was a time when movies like this where the Saturday morning fare for the kiddies, and everyone treated it as such, while the prestige films where things like "Gone with the Wind", "Bridge on the River Kwai", or "Apocalypse Now". The summer blockbuster turned all of that around - and that is not something to be proud of.

    The Original (seventies) Superman. (minus the "Can you read my mind" song)
  13. Dynaman
    No, slam bang action is a prerequisite of a good movie, it alone does not make a good movie(*). The fact that people are willing to settle for such fare in such numbers is a sad reflection on society. (*) - Just like a decent salary is not the definition of a good job, sure a decent salary is a requirement for a good job - but it is not the definition of one...

    That is the perfect summation of what is wrong with movies these days...
  15. Dynaman
    Of which only the Iron Man ones were any good. Hulk - both films were dreadful. Thor can be summed up as Beefy Guy grows up and accepts responsability, Captain America amounts to Wimpy guy gets buff and beats up baddies. At least Superman has to deal with ignoring his father's advice and then with having what amounts to godike powers and knowing he can't use them as he likes.

    I could I forget to list Watchmen as one of the great superhero movies? I loved it.

    There is this lovely line in "It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world" where Ethyl Mermym says "things like this happen because of people who says things like this happen when things like this happen." Or in other words, if people would stop watching mindless movies about superheroes beating each other up for no reason then movie companies would stop making them. Superman showed that it is possible to make a good Superhero picture (original Spider Man and Tim Burton's Batman as well). The problem today is the never ending desire to go further and further overboard with Special Effects. (I should add Iron Man into the good mix, it was at least a different take on Super Heroes and the Stark character is truly interesting)

    Whoops, nevermind, I was thinking Che Guevara... Hugo, although I seriously doubt is a good guy, is only protrayed as a blowhard, opinionated, vain, glory seeker here in the US, or in other words - a typical politician.
  19. Dynaman
    His description pretty much sums up EVERY superhero film, with the exception of the Original Superman (from the seventies, not those ones from the forties or fifties).
  20. Dynaman
    He was a bad guy, films like the motorcycle diary are trying to humanize the guy rather then demonize.
  21. Dynaman
    True, but BSG didn't have a budget for anything else. On the plus side for ST at least there isn't any sunlight coming in through the windows of the brewery into the "engine room", anyone ever see "Space Mutiny"? (if not watch the MST3K version). And finally, a brewery is probably a good thing in Scotty's opinion, perhaps he was the designer...

    A show set during reconstruction focusing on someone that took the loss of family very hard would be interesting. Perhaps blaming all Zentradi and hating them, being forced to work with some or get out of (whatever they do). Yup - it's been done a million times (once with a character called Sam Francisco...) but it would fit very well in the reconstruction period.
  23. Dynaman
    I would side neither side (Macross, ignoring the latest posts...) is the "good guys". Both the UN and Anti-UN are shown to have noble and ignoble aspects.
  24. Dynaman
    My answer is better late then never... I don't remember the other characters yelling so much, but Misa REALLLLLY overdose it a bit. The voice the VA uses for her is grating as well. It is a pity too, in the DVD extras for the show she had a very nice natural voice - she should have just used that as Misa's voice and not tried to kick it up a notch. (yes Misa does yell a lot, but not THAT much)

    FINALLY! A Gundam show for me!
