This discussion is getting pretty involved for what is off topic.

Maybe we should have a separate thread for "bitch and talk about movies we haven't done yet?"

But, suffice it to say, Jeffrey sums it all up pretty nicely. There's a couple other things that piss me off, like how time travel suddenly works differently than it ever has before in Trek, but you've got most of it.

We talked about it in the Jedi Council thread but Sunshine and Moon would be great.

In no particular order of preference:

- Top Gun (perhaps discuss how the homoeroticism has been completely overblown? Sometimes a wingman is just a wingman)

- Predator (love to hear Trey's thoughts on the predator effects, the film's impact etc.)

- Contact (again! Can Brian talk about Sagan?)

- The 13th Warrior (I think one of the crew said they liked this? Occasionally inspired but flawed. Does McTiernan have a style?)

- Chronicles of Riddick (what went wrong if anything? Perhaps Pitch Black would have to be done before)

- Crimson Tide (Are the Scott brothers distinct?Which one is more consistent? Submarine cliches)

- Last Action Hero (a loving send-up of the action genre, misunderstood genius?)

"Chronicles of Riddick" is worth watching, if nothing else just for the overall look of it. Also, there's an homage at the very end that I won't give away but that's kind of delightful.

I found it pretty disappointing after "Pitch Black," though. I didn't hate it or anything, but it wasn't what I was hoping for.

I'd like to toss out the suggestion of "Six String Samurai". Another podcast I won't name tried it and brought no game, but it would be interesting to hear your take on a low budget indie. Also maybe an old school sci fi anime, such as "Akira" or "Nausicaa".

Oh, then that one will be for you, Jeffrell.

Something I should have mentioned in the anniversary "what did we learn?" discussion - it didn't occurr to me at the time - was that we started with the assumption that fewer people would be interested in a commentary if it was a movie they probably didn't own and therefore couldn't watch while listening.  So for the most part we've stayed with recent blockbusters as our source material.

Now that we know that watching (or even previously SEEING) the video in question doesn't seem to be as much of an issue, we may indeed start doing older and/or more obscure films.   We all can name films that we wish more people would see... or classics that we just can't understand why they're supposedly so great, etc.   I'm hoping we'll do more of that sort of thing in our *ahem* second year.

I certainly make an effort to watch along with my listening, but I can't say that I've done that for more than a fourth of the shows.

Certainly if I haven't seen a movie yet, I'll listen to the commentary without watching, and if the commentary makes me interested to see it, I'll watch it without the commentary.

The odd instance has been with 2001, where I first listened to the commentary, and then listened to it again while watching the movie, and then went back and watched portions of the movie again without commentary.

Right on. By the way, welcome to the forums, Invid!

How about a commentary on the Dr. Horrible series?

Now I don't really see you guys doing a serious movie, but how about Man on Fire or The Blind Side or somethin like that
