    I think it is undeniable that later series are more blatant, but it just goes with the times. Society in general is more blatantly sexual, now get off my D*MN lawn...

    Yup - we will hear about season 2 after the new season 1 is done... This will be my first time buying a disk direct from Japan, where do you guys recommend ordering the BD version of the film?

    Frontier - the most interesting character was Sheryl for me, when she is down in the dumps mentally (and sick I believe, have to watch again to figure out exactly when) and stuck in a shelter with many other civilians she starts to sing just to take their minds off the attack - and in the process finds the inner strength to go on (and be a better person) after her world fell apart.

    I'd argue that Cameron's was the better film, but I like a good action movie. I originally was going to pass on this movie, but after watching the full trailer I changed my mind - it looks like it will be a great film.

    I was refering to the one that nominally takes place in the past. The other one looked even worse so I didn't even bother to put it in my netflix queue (and that is a true insult to a movie).

    If they did not have ten thousand different versions of "Ghost Hunters" running you may have had a point, alas...

    This is SyFy we are talking about, they probably only want to keep the rights to BSG so they can name their wrestlers "Boomer", "Apollo", and "Starbuck". Or perhaps try find ghosts on the spots where the sets of BSG and Caprica were filmed...

    It looked to me like the Space Jockies were sending out the "invites", which the Earth team finds and figures out was not an invite (think of the "To Serve Man" episode of Twilight Zone). As for aliens, the one scene looked a lot like the egg room from the original Alien, except the eggs were in some kind of containers.

    I made the mistake of watching (Half!) of the DVD, this movie is utterly dreadful. Hamfisted directing, reasonable acting (hard to fault the actors when the material is so bad), and out of place modern elements (razor wire hallway? Really!!!?). Turned it off and sent it back to Netflix after the Razor wire bit.

    That is what it started out as, then they decided to go 2 hour back door pilot. I think they have already spent $20 over the limit for their webisodes...

    They have not quite hit rock bottom yet though, I think they need one more movie to get there... I have no stake in TMNT, never read the comics, didn't care about the movies, and even *I* think changing the origin so they are not mutants is stupid and pointless.

    And competant marketing. Disney supposedly spent a small (large?) fortune marketing John Carter, could have fooled me.

    The sad part is that trailer probably shows us every last FX shot in the whole show, the rest of it will consist of Baltar's dad talking into a microphone...

    He did say the animation was top notch for the dollar (yen). That I would have to agree with - the story and characters were one giant muddled mess.

    It *WOULD* have been a good line if Shatner had not destroyed the delivery so badly. The key to getting a good performance out of Shatner is making him say a line so many times he stops overacting... (Star Trek 2 director, on how he got Shatner to correctly say "Here it comes")

    Thank you sir. Since I like all kinds of Anime (and self professed that Yamato is my favorite...) I shall take that as a compiment.
  17. Dynaman
    Not a terrible price either, looks like I'll be buying both. (Gundam and Yamato)
  18. Dynaman
    That explains why my cable company runs ads before the trailers in the on-demand section...
  19. Dynaman
    I'm behind the times, as always, but I've started watching "Yugo: The negotiator", a good change of pace from any other anime I've seen.

    I'll have to disagree, ST: 2 is actually about growing old and how to handle it (along with mortality), it is just wrapped around a rip-snortin action fest. The best action movies are like that, some substance with an action wrapper. ST 6 is another good one, how do we handle prejudice, hatred, lack of trust, and forgiveness - all wrapped around another rip-snortin action fest. ST is at it's worst when being OVERLY preachy, anything with Janeway comes to mind, or ST: 4, yes it is good to not destroy the planet BUT you don't have to hit me over the head with a sledgehammer to make the point. But that is nothing compared to ST 5 (at least 4 had lots of good humor)...
  21. Dynaman
    You must be talking about the original movie - it WAS boring, no other way to put it. It also does not follow that trying to be thoughtful means it ends up that way. It does not help that ST:TMP is a rehash of at least one episode of the show either. Finally, I like ST:TMP, especially the redone version released on DVD a few years back. Now, if your talking about ST:V, nah, you can't be...
  22. Dynaman
    Yes. Keeping it secret would be impossible while at the same time incorporating the technology in Star Fleet. This is not supposed to be "Men in Black". That said, the idea that Star Fleet used the tech from the future is just handwavium to explain why the Enterprise looks so different. What it really boils down to is JJ wanted it to look different and everything else is window dressing. [EDIT] I forgot - why keep the nature of the tech hidden while freely letting it known that a big mystery vessel from the future kicked the crud out of the Kelvin (remember that Pike did a thesis on it, that would be something he did as a cadet of junior officer)

    It is "Wagon Train to the Stars", in many ways the new movie brings it back to that premise. Nothing wrong with that, but a little consistancy helps even when writing space cowboys.
  24. Dynaman
    That makes the fact that ONLY Kirk realizes the threat even more lame. Here the Feds got all that great technology from the ship and NOBODY seems to remember how it appeared... (I like the movie a lot, but I still have to call it as I see it, and that is just lazy writing)
  25. Dynaman
    More mumbo jumbo from the ST franchise though, it is also clearly noted that StarFleet is the most powerful fleet in known space. It can't get that way with only 12 Constitution class ships. I take the FASA view of starfleet myself - they said there were initially 12 Constitution class ships and then roughly 50 were built in total. It is not Cannon, but it makes a heck of a lot more sense then the cannon does (especially since quite a few of the Constitution class ships get whacked on screen)
