aerocombatpilot Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Torchwood, Primeval, and Being Human gets my vote.
taksraven Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 hey now, Sixth sense was a good movie, just everything else has been crap. pssst. *whispers* You could draw up a similar chart for most film directors and they would look very similar!

ae_productions Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 You need to run a WORST awards show. You are pretty accurate in most of those!
Agent ONE Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Sex and the city 2 wasn't that bad. and it wasn't sci fi
SilentCrossHairs Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Yor the hunter of the future......... No lie the worst ever. I think it came out in 84 or 85.
Dynaman Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Worst Prequel/Remake/Sequel/Ripoff Clash of the Titans Not fair, the remake is no more or less crappy then the original...
taksraven Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Sex and the city 2 wasn't that bad. Somebody is going soft in his old age..... :P Dude, there is a "guilty pleasures" thread somewhere on this site, I think you have some confessing to do.
Agent ONE Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Somebody is going soft in his old age..... :P Dude, there is a "guilty pleasures" thread somewhere on this site, I think you have some confessing to do. HAHAHA!!! Not even a guilty pleasure. I love Sex and the City, such a good show. If you watch every episode of that show, you will be much closer to having women figured out. I see watching it as intel gathering on the enemy. (I see women as the enemy as they all want to marry us and imprison us in shitty, mediocre lives... Then blame us for it.) I just love the girls. I am definitely more a "Carrie" but most put me in the "Samantha" box.
Dynaman Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I just love the girls. I am definitely more a "Carrie" but most put me in the "Samantha" box. I think the lady that married the bald guy is the cutest of the bunch. My wife loved the show, and I was interested after hearing Big's line at the end of the first episode. My wife didn't even bother to watch the second movie though.

Keith Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 A. I. and Bicentenial Man are tear boring. A.i. is epic awesomeness wrapped up in more awesomeness.

taksraven Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) A. I. and Bicentenial Man are tear boring. Both movies are flawed (I find A.I. to be more watchable), but both of them had a brilliant concept behind them and managed to do more in two hours with the "machines trying to define and achieve humanity" theme than the hack writers of Star Trek: The Next Generation did with Data over 7 seasons and several films..... A.I. was originally supposed to have been a Kubrick film but he died too soon. Personally I don't think that old Kubrick would have done it justice, but I think that at his peak time (late 60's, early 70's) he probably would have made a masterpiece.

reddsun1 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 A.I. wasn't so bad. Overall impression I got was a futuristic re-telling of the Pinocchio story.

I've always felt that if you took A.I. and lopped off the last 15 minutes or so of the movie it would have been a much better film. I've always hated that it ends with aliens and them flash cloning his mom, it's Just so cheesy and stupid. Personally I would have preferred Kubrick at any age to Spielberg but I agree that had he done it 30 years earlier it would have been amazing.
David Hingtgen Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Re: A.I.'s ending Why does everyone think they're aliens? They're the robots, just "evolved" over centuries of upgrading themselves etc. They're re-discovering their own past and history of their "race". Not random aliens finding a new planet.

Because the film does a really poor job of conveying the fact that they're supposed to be robots. (at least I felt that way. I've watched the film several times and never realized that they where supposed to be robots until I read it on wikipedia.) Edited January 28, 2011 by anime52k8
eugimon Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 It doesn't make sense thematically for them to be aliens. One of the main ideas of the movie is the relationship between parents and children. But here's Spielberg talking about it
Dynaman Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Because the film does a really poor job of conveying the fact that they're supposed to be robots. (at least I felt that way. I've watched the film several times and never realized that they where supposed to be robots until I read it on wikipedia.) I'll ditto that, and I didn't think enough of the movie to bother looking up anything about it. They really should have made the robots at the end more robot-like rather then looking closer to the archtypical space alien... (It wasn't a bad film, but nothing great either)
eugimon Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 the dude has a TV in his head... how many aliens have we seen with TV heads? How many robots?
Dynaman Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 the dude has a TV in his head... how many aliens have we seen with TV heads? How many robots? That ^ guy has a robot in his head, I just rewatched the last bit of AI, and I still say he blew it by making them look too much like the aliens from another sceince fiction film the director should be familiar with, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Keith Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 The epilogue doesn't take away anything at all. David still doesn't technically get what he wants, just one last tease of it. Beautiful movie alltogether, and I can't wait for the bluray release in a couple months.

I was just saying this to somebody the other day!
taksraven Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 One of the main ideas of the movie is the relationship between parents and children. Thats for sure. Watch the film with a woman who has had a child, especially the scene where Monica abandons David. My wife can't bear to watch it, its waaaay too much emotionally. (Mothers losing their children or possibly losing their children is a them, of course, that Spielberg explored in both CE3K and E.T.) I think another reason why people didn't like this film is that it ultimately sends you out of the theatre in a sad emotional state. Audiences don't like that.

Audiences don't like that. The main problem is the film itself could not decide if it was edgy or cute, Kubrick would have made the film much edgier - and that would have made all the difference. Spielberg took the sting out of the movie, and left it feeling flat. Until this thread came up I'd forgotten a good bit of the movie, which does not happen when I watch a movie that has emotional impact.
anime52k8 Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Something I just watched (for god knows what reason): 1990's Frankenstein Unbound!!! This is by far the worst thing I've ever seen related to Frankenstein/Frankenstein's monster; and I'm including Van Helsing in that statement.
