It has been said that even Matthew Broderick thought he was doing a remake of the Japanese cartoon The White Lion, but unless DIF has some behind the scenes info about that I don't know what they can add regarding The Lion King. Well, I'm sure they can go off on the politics of the Academy Awards (you do have to like it when rules are changed after the wrong thing gets nominated/wins)

I agree. It's not a sequel to the movie, but it is a rather good adaptation of the book 2010 (which, I think, was the last "new" Clarke novel I read)

As for Woody Allen, those who dislike his movies should find the CD of some of his old standup comedy. Damned funny.

I just took a look at what's up so far. Damn, from a request by me to a full wiki in just a couple days. Good work!

It's fine you disagree with it smile The showrunner for BSG also worked on Trek, and at least to me seemed to be reveling in the freedom more than in creating a good show. I have no examples, because I have no desire to go back and look for them smile

I have a number I regularly listen to:

This Week in Science
The Skeptics Guide to the Universe
Junk Food Dinner
Cinefantastique- the Bad Film episodes
Monster Talk
The Human Bible
The Skeptical Viewer - this one seems to have died, but check out old episodes which go over old Ghost Hunters episodes and conclude that one of the two guys is doing the faking.

After awhile I can to feel the new Battlestar Galactica was just trying to be the anti-Trek: If Star Trek would have done one thing, BG did the other just because they could regardless of if it was good or not. By the end of the second season I was just fast forwarding through the few episodes I bothered to look at.

Their first foreign film should be Planet of the Vampyres.

You know what I'd like to see? A DIF wiki. You have four years worth of episodes, with all this information, opinion, and stories, and you're only going to discover them randomly. Let listeners with no life (hi, Zarban!) compile and list those moments.

I would like to take a moment, before this thread fades away, to defend the spoiler filled DVD cover.

See, this film flopped. REALLY flopped. Keeping the secret didn't get anyone to go. So, in order to actually sell the thing it was decided to tell viewers there was actually good stuff in the film. Because, otherwise, the only people who'd bother buying it are those who already saw it and, thus, are already spoiled.

Spaceballs is hated by those who, in general, hate later Mel Brooks films. Unlike with Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, you can tell Mel really doesn't like the subject he's mocking.

Music is probably one of the most subjective arts, so the easiest to have "unpopular" opinions on. Often it's just a case of most people only hearing a few songs from a group and never bothering to dig deeper. I have a friend who loves TOTO, especially their new stuff. Yes, the fact they kept releasing albums was news to me. By the same token, the last two TESLA albums have been great.

Is Starlog still around in any form? I was shocked and happily surprised to see Cinefantastique was still around, even if only as a series of podcasts.
