eugimon Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Haven't seen it properly so I must reserve judgement, but what I saw was pretty nuts. Considering the sauce material I would be more inclined to just put it in the category of "Philip K. Dick was one of the most insane people alive of all time" To be fair, he did do better stories though. And the insanity has since his death..... Taksraven That would explain a lot...

areaseven Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 "And the moral of this story is this is not what to do if a bird sh*ts on you." - Bruce Dickinson Chemical Wedding (a.k.a. Crowley) Whoever said this was a good movie was either in complete denial or must have been on some bad drugs, because Chemical Wedding is simply one of the worst attempts at horror cinema ever. The acting is atrocious, the dialogue is pathetic, the special effects are laughable and the soundtrack is extremely random. Bruce Dickinson may be an excellent singer and songwriter, but just like Steve Harris on directing Iron Maiden videos, writing movie scripts is not for him. Even die-hard Iron Maiden fans should avoid this turkey. Rating: D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vepariga Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Definately agree about those cheap films such as 'Alien vs hunter' and 'the terminators' lol...dont even watch the trailers,the cases are enough but may cause blindness and loss of sainity *hack*. as for series, I guess I will say 'Farscape',the first few eps where decent but then it kinda slipped. Im sure theres worse but thats what came first came to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vepariga Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 ???? Farscape was great. well I stopped watching halfway thru the first season so I dont know if it got better,I suppose I could give it a second run. I liked the first couple of episodes,I just felt it got abit slow and loose mid-way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Jenius Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 OMG just saw one on cable that I'd almost forgotten about [thankfully] Anybody remember Arena[1989]? Definitely grade-B cheese. But the starring cast features some staples of the sci-fi film industry, like Hamilton Camp, Claudia Christian, Marc Alaimo, and Armin Shimerman. Still doesn't save it from being a pretty crappy movie. But if you like dude-in-rubber-suit alien action, then this is yer cup o' tea. I've been looking for the trailer to this movie forever. It's so stupid looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AN EXAMPLE OF A GOOD SF PUPPET..... Taksraven That might be a little unfair, the Alien only had to be seen mostly briefly in one movie. Farscapes major cast puppets had to be seen in most episodes of, what, a five season show? Also, character can go a long way to making even a bright green sock with ping-pong balls for eyes into a great personality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robelwell202 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 This may have been mentioned before, but I'm really too lazy to go back and check... Has anyone mentioned "Maximum Overdrive"? Steven King's monumental flop of a directorial debut? That thing's so awful, it's hillarious! I bought the DVD just for the laughs, alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that the Yoda puppet ever looked that bad. And I personally think that the puppet could emote more than the CG version. (Of course, most of what was good about Yoda was down to Frank Oz's stunning voice acting) Taksraven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taksraven Hey, don't knok Henson Studios (which, by the way also made Yoda) Anybody who can literally piss napalm in a very humorous way is okay in my book (I'm speaking about Rigel, here).

big F Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I remember somthing with Dennis Quaid where he played some sort of intergalactic truck driver who had animals grown as cubes as a payload, he got mixed up with the wrong sorts and turned out to be a hero. This was definately not Innerspace or Enemy Mine, which were light years better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
