This movie is so incredibly stupid that I love the hell out of it:

I guess I'm the other side of the coin to you Doug, I'll watch just about anything sci-fi! Not saying I love it all, but it's just good entertainment I think. I don't need or even want it to be 100% accurate; sometimes it's just good to switch off the Vulcan part of your brain and have some no-mental-exertion-needed fun. I mean, I recently bought the videos of the 1980s BBC series "STAR COPS", of which I had very fond memories, but watching it back it was dated, shaky-set, cringe-worthy, cliche-ridden rubbish, but still fun in a way. I can watch anything Star Trek related and get quite lost in it, same with Stargate etc. I'm in my "Hoo Ya" element watching an episode of SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND... anyone remember that? ... hell, I can even enjoy ANDROMEDA if it's on. GALACTICA is a class above other sci fi TV, up there with FIREFLY in my book.
I guess I'm just the same space geek I was at junior school who lapped up episodes of UFO, SPACE 1999, THE TOMORROW PEOPLE and the rest, guilty as charged.  As for books... well, Stephen Baxter is god, no doubt about it. I've read VOYAGE universe knows how many times, TITAN too, and all his other books. I'm actually re-reading EVOLUTION now, and enjoying it hugely. Maybe most sci-fi is crap. But give me a bad episode of BLAKES 7 or TORCHWOOD over an episode of THE BILL or ER any day. -------------------- |

QUOTE (Stu @ Mar 2 2008, 06:52 PM)  But give me a bad episode of BLAKES 7 or TORCHWOOD over an episode of THE BILL or ER any day. Give me Sky marathons of Mythbusters, Top Gear, A Car/Plane/Bike/Chopper is Born, Anything with Ray Mears. Black Sky - the Discovery documentary on SS1 I could watch all day, every day. Today - feeling a bit lethargic, I watched all of Clarksons 'Inventions that Changed the World' - they were BRILLIANT. His documentary on the Greatest Raid of All Time was just astonishing television. I used to watch ER when I was a student....and....I confess...a LOT of Caroline in the City, Will and Grace, and Frasier. |
