Yep. I'm with Saniss on basically every point. Loved SG-1, grew up with it, I actually really didn't like Atlantis when I started watching it (Although I came in like 1/2 way through, so it wasn't the best intro), but as I and it aged, it grew on me. And now I actually prefer a lot of Atlantis over SG-1. And I stopped Universe after about 6 episodes. But I LOVE the entire Stargate universe, so much you can do in it.

And yeah, I've never had any great love for the original movie, but I saw it long after I started watching SG-1, so it had that same "oh..okay then." taste to it.

To quote my original response.

Also...why is this here? Unless you have some sort of time machine, traveled to the future, saw these, then came back to warn us, or something.

I didn't see the latest (last) season but going by the 'movies' that were released (and broadcast in parts) the original series was miles better.


The new seasons have some really really great episodes, and some meh ones, but when it's firing on all cylinders it's really great.

And yeah, I've watched the first half season of Archer and it's really great, definitely not your mom's cartoon. tongue

And as social commentary, it kind of says "Look, these are irredeemable people, most of them. They really just need somewhere positive to channel their energy."

If all they need is a positive place to channel their energy, doesn't that mean they are basically redeemable?

Well I'm still missing a fair number of comms from the main FIYH page, although none of them are on switchs list, so I'm not sure wth Switch is on.

Just double-checking the ones on the last page or 2 of this thread:

-Fifth Element
-Terminator 3
-Reservoir Dogs
-Nightmare Before Christmas
-Aladdin
-The Crow
-Dark City
-Explorers
-Full metal Jacket
-galaxy quest
-ghostbusters 2

And probably a bunch more that Zarban didn't find, and I can't remember exist to be missing.

This one is just something I popped off one day before work without even looking basically, little bit of photoshop and bam, something that looks like it could have come from a legit movie. Love it.

The Goonies (1985):

http://spielbergfanclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Goonies-poster.jpg

I'm not sure what I was expecting to be honest. I had always something of a peripheral understanding of the Goonies as this thing with a pretty potent place in a lot of peoples childhoods and in culture general, but I had never actually really gleaned many details about it. I guess if I had to say anything about my expectations is that I was expecting something more akin to Peter Pan, a group of kids gets whisked into a magical land with strange creatures and pirates.

And it's definitely not that...not that that's a bad thing, it just isn't. As far as I could tell, and this may just be a  side effect of the fact I was watching this on a drive in screen in downtown Edmonton so the sound was echoing off buildings like crazy, but it seemed like 80% of the runtime is kids bickering and/or panicking at the top of their lungs in their whiny little kid voices. 15% is the movie Speilberging it's goddamn brain out, and 5% is actually a fun little adventure. Like I said, I may have to watch this again to see if there was anything actually interesting going on while the cacophony of high pitched yells and screams were slowly turning my brain to mush.

Honestly, I didn't really see much that would have made the Goonies into THE GOONIES that everyone knows and talks about, aside from maybe it hitting a lot of people at just the right time to go pedal to the metal on the full nostalgia button. <shrug> wasn't bad, wasn't great. Moving on.

Not The Messiah (He's A Very Naughty Boy):

http://www.freecodesource.com/movie-poster/51eWvL%2B%2B9-L/-Not-the-Messiah.jpg

Came across this on Netflix tonight, and couldn't resist. It's a concert version of The Life Of Brian written by Eric Idle and John Du Prez, performed by same, with a ton of special Monty Python guest stars and a whole lot of wackiness. The filmed version was a special one night presentation in celebration of Monty Pythons 40th anniversary.

It was damn fun, that's really all there is too it. It was 90 minutes of Eric Idle with a full orchestra and choir, with 4 amazing vocalists as the main characters being entirely silly. And yes, Monty Python can still kick ass and be just as weird and wild 40 years later, it was awesome. If you're at all a Python fan and haven't seen it, check it out.

Also, you should do a Kickstarter campaign for the video production. Some people will FIND you thru Kickstarter and based the pieces of songs they hear, knowing that the songs are done and they will therefore get them for sure, fund the video to promote the songs.

Namedrop Trey, if he's willing.

Yeah, Moose are like the least scary thing we have around here, massive as all hell, but generally very docile.

Oh and yeah, if you hit them going highway speeds there is no hope, your car and you are paste.

I enjoyed it, it was fun, it's definitely not going to be on any of my "top X" lists any time soon, but I can see why it would have the place in pop culture it does.

I like it intellectually...

That has me thinking, it almost feels like it might be the kinda of thing where the movie lays out all of these points of what is going to happen in an outbreak and then ticks them all off, and then You as an audience member can look at it intellectually and go, "Hmm, oh yes, I can see how that would be quite bad." But there is zero emotional attachment to it. I hesitate to say you don't care, because they are still human beings, but it's a Dunbar's number thing, the movie never actually gave me a reason to put any of it's characters into my 150 for the time I was watching this movie so I have no emotional reason to "really" care about what's going to happen. They are just numbers in a wiki article, and names that mean nothing to me. So the entire thing just winds up feeling more like a visualised thought experiment than anything you might call a "movie".
