He made those horror/comedies before LotR. Obviously, other than Hobbit, Kong, and Lovely Bones, he made the original Lord of the Ring trilogy. No one’s trying to pretend his good movies don’t exist, but based on the last five movies he’s made, whatever spark he had at the beginning of his career seems to be gone. And… Read more

Peter Jackson made a movie called Heavenly Creatures, before he worked on LOTR. And it was actually pretty darn good. It also involved a fantasy world, which he made rich and real, with a budget that was a fraction of what he had to work with on LOTR
Imo his best work - other than LotR - was all pre-LotR. The Frighteners and Braindead/Dead Alive are both excellent.
And some of the best horror/comedies ever made. I wish he’d do a Raimi and occasionally revisit his roots tbh.
So there’s more of us? I enjoyed it as well. Read more
this guy could have said nothing and instead he chose to type out these specific words and post them to a public comment section
If it were me, I would simply not post anything so tremendously stupid.
LMAO WHAT IN THE MISOGYNY IS THIS
A couple months ago, I randomly watched (most) of the movie for the first time in a decade, and it’s decent. As in, it fits properly as a greatly extended post-Golden Era Simpsons episode, where the writing isn’t quite as sharp as what made the show a classic, but it has its moments - like the nude Bart skateboard… Read more
The different SG teams had different specialties and were equipped accordingly. So SG-1 was the first contact team, they didn’t go in with heavy weapons so they wouldn’t intimidate the locals. That’s why they had the MP-5s and later P90s; just enough to defend yourself if things go south and you have to book it back… Read more
I loved SGA until season 5, when they killed off or sidelined all the women and turned it into a sausage party. Read more
SGU was a bummer, it started out a bit off I think, but really was hitting it’s stride just as it got cancelled
Another really fantastic aspect to this show. Read more
Some of my favorite episodes being with the words “previously on” and then reference individual episodes from 3 different seasons, and goes on to combine them into some new bit of lore that makes and elevates all of them. Read more
Universe was meant to be a darker show. I think they lost some SG1 fanbase because it was just too serious. I stayed with it but it was not easy at times.
Now playing
One of the things I really enjoyed about SG-1 is that unlike Star Trek—which I also love, but in a different way—it rarely ever took itself too seriously. I especially loved the inside jokes about MacGyver and the fake SG-1 TV show: Wormhole X-Treme.
I also like to think of the last two seasons as a continuation of Fars…
SG1 is still my favourite show of all time. I have watched it all the way through countless times now, show me 3 seconds of an episode I can tell you exactly what happens. All I want is for that universe to continue. To me, it was the last great sci-fi show that nailed the tone perfectly. It had that “look” of classic… Read more
I recently rewatched Atlantis and have been rewatching SG-1 for the millionth time. I’m surprised such a rich universe was allowed to just simmer and die when it is ripe for good storytelling and fun adventures.
I think Universe being the last surviving show was the nail in the coffin. It is by no means bad, but it’s… Read more
I really enjoyed SG-1, we’ve doing a rewatch. Read more
I have not seen it and was not planning to until its streaming. Ragnarok was very well loved I know but I HATE how it has led to Thor leaning way more into comedy from that point forward. Endgame doubled down on it. Thor was at his best for me when he is a loud boisterous godlike being who says all this grandiose… Read more
