    Is there more "scientology" then just the "Fear is a choice" bit. THAT particular idea is pretty much universal "I will have no fear though I walk..." (can't think of quotes from other religions but I know they exist for nearly every one).

    I'll hit it with a direct insult then! I'd sooner watch Liquid Sky again then Battlefield Earth. Too bad for AE, it looked so promising, but a 12% Rotten Tomatoes rating makes that a non-starter.

    I know a number of people that watched SB as kids who had no idea it was Yamato in Japan. The fact that they no longer watch anime of any kind and will probably never even know that 2199 is released probably backs up your point though... Realistically the only people who are going to care about Star Blazers 2199 are those who know of the Yamato origin of the show.

    That last one was a real snooze fest, it is a new director so I might give this one a shot.
  5. Dynaman
    All the movies have been brought out under the Yamato name. Star Blazers has MUCH higher name recognition though.

    "If my Grandma had wheels she'd be a wagon". The best that can be said is that it looked far better then the Enterprise D.

    I'm sure there is plenty of other music out there, the show just didn't feature it.

    thanks for the link but it still didn't say what started the practice. My ancestors painted themselves blue so I guess it was just a thing...

    They are not the same timeline. Why is that so hard to accept? The whole point was to keep the core of the characters and dump all the feces that had built up over the decades - to the point where doing ANYTHING in the original timeline other then sit around and deliberate the Prime Directive and how awesome the Federation was - was a no no.

    Gubaba, excellent work! and thank you! Got a question on one of your notes. "A line from the Kabuki play Musume Dojoji. Prior to the 19th century, Japanese aristocratic women and daughters of military officers dyed their teeth black when they got married. [Translator’s note]" Why did they dye their teeth black? What did it symbolize?

    The same reason Star Trek did not make use of technologies they picked up during epsidoes. Spock Time Travelled at least 3 times in TOS and once in STIV. TOS list The one with Terry Gar. The one where they accidently trash a US fighter plane with a tractor beam. The one with the time donut. (and whatz her face from Dallas) (and a bonus entry) The one with the library that sent him back to the tasty lady in the cave

    OK you win, live action shows with lots of space battles are economically feasable. Studios have been shoveling out Cop shows, Doctor shows, Lawyer Shows, Reality TV shows, etc... just to spite us.

    Way too early for that, but I will have it the day it is released. For now going back to see it in Imax will have to do.

    I'll ditto the "looks better then I thought" theme. Luckily this movie comes out a week before my 21st anniversery (wife's too). Now we have a date planned.

    A basic cable Disney channel. I guess that makes it the 53rd basic channel...

    There is a reason why there have been so few "space fighters" sci fi shows, and budget is that reason. (and the second, third, and fourth reasons too).
  17. Dynaman
    Two possible reasons, one good and one bad. Bad - they plan on a kiddie show. Good - It would be way too expensive to do as live action.
  18. Dynaman
    I don't think so, at least not with the movie we got - the background felt so "different" between Pitch Black and Chronicles. It was hard to believe the two movies took place in the same universe. Unlike Alien/Aliens (which did make the leap from Horror to Action).

  20. Dynaman
    Yes, exactly that.

    Sounds interesting. I hope Disney put in place an over-arching continuity for the new films and the cartoon to live in. It would be nice not to have the movies invalidate everything in the toon.

    My wife hates 3D, and I HATE when it looks dodgy. Is the 3D on Imax decent looking, as in not darkening the scenes too much and not muddying up the picture? (last movie shot in 2D and shown in 3D I saw was Clash of the Titans and the 3D process was a muddled mess in that one)
  23. Dynaman
    Not really, I have no intention of ever reading the Bond books, may be heresy to some but I don't care. Anyway, picking the perfect Bond is like choosing the best Doctor Who.

    Well, you can't blame Craig for the writing, or the innuendo. Writers are the cause of those ills. As for new guy to burnt out, the first movie was Craig had him as the new guy, this one was released 6 years later and the actor has aged, even though we have only seen 3 total movies in that time a "real" person in that amount of time doing that amount of crazy spy stuff would get burnt out. I think the main problem was that Craig looked too old to be "the new guy" back in 2006 to begin with. (he doesn't look old but he never had that fresh faced kid look)

    Saw it yesterday and loved it. Characters and plot and pacing were spot on. Plot holes, of course, but they didn't take me out of the flow of the movie. Wife and I are going to go see it in Imax next week. As for some of the complaints, some of the Trekkies really need to take Shatner's advice and "get a life!"
