Doctor Who, 'Day of the Daleks'

Which, to me, makes my sister's opinion that Gravity is stupid and boring all the more amusing She watched it in 2D, so all she really had was the story and that did nothing for her.

Well, state your point. We have yet to see if Gravity has any influence on movies or society beyond making money, as those did.

Depends on how it's done. We have not had a good monster fight in a decade or so, so it's not like the trope has been overused. As you said, we've had Cloverfield. Godzilla 2000 in many ways copied the 90's Gamera films which blew the earlier Godzilla films out of the water, and I'd hate for the first of the new Godzilla films to just copy Cloverfield. Let's see if this new team can do a good, old fashioned, Godzilla movie before we ask them to jazz it up.

(If you like, we can have our heroes fleeing under the feet of two monsters fighting, sort of an updated War of the Gargantuas)

The official Lost In Space commentary on the DVD is well worth listening to, as the writer and director tell you exactly what went wrong, and the massive changes to the ending.

The problem with the From Hell movie, and the reason I never watched it, is it went against the whole point of the comic. The original was "OK, here's every known fact, with a bit of fiction to fill in the gaps to make it an actual story." So what does the movie do? Combine two characters into one and give him real psychic powers. Really? Way to miss the point.
(the end notes in the book are incredible. Moore tells you, panel by panel, what's fact, what's probable fact, what's an educated guess, what's pure fiction, and what he put in to piss off his Royalist artist)

This is all making the fact my sister thought it was pointless and stupid all the more amusing

And I saw Hardware Wars the year it came out, so there
(there was a rumor going around our 3rd Grade class that we were going to see Star Wars, and the teacher put that on. Blew our mind, it did!)

"The Nazis were going to die anyway, with or without Indy's help."

Well, who isn't

Hitchcock did not actually do anything on the TV series, iirc, apart from filming the intros. Similarly, he had nothing to do with my favorite Hitchcock creation: The Three Investigators.

Actually, I think it's time for another commentary for Dark City

From talking about Satan to talking about religion. There was no reason to go there.
