Yeah, Cookie, that is one of my favorite TOS episodes. The difference being, I guess, in "Battlefield" (and in "Silence" w/ Picard) they actually set the ship to destruct and seem perfectly willing to go through with it. That's pretty ballsy; let's kill the entire crew instead of letting an alien kill maybe half of…

Heh. Data would've just gotten a Oriental Trading Company catalog

Wow. All this time I thought Pulaski went directly to Mandyville. I'd never caught that reference.

I actually think Sub Rosa might be better than Okona. Don't hold me to that.

I always thought it was like when a friend gets passionate or emotional and calls you an "asshole" or some such. I mean, we had a couple of guys from Jersey here on a thread the other day flinging their mustard at each other who wrapped it up with the Internet equivalent of a hug. McCoy always came off that way. …

Who is number 1?

Just commenting on threads…in a comment thread…so suck it.

Sheltie, it isn't that creepy. Certain developments at the end would be creepy if they weren't so laughable.

I've had a crush on Polley since My Life Without Me, which is a movie I somewhat enjoyed. She was fine in this, acting-wise.

Heh. That "quote" is something I've said all week since seeing this. That was a moment when the audience laughed out loud. I don't think we were meant to.

It struck me as unintentionally funny, though, Lone. If it were played in a dark comedy way, it probably would have worked better. I guess you could interpret it as such, but nothing about the movie suggested whatsoever (to me, anyway, nor anyone else who I saw it with) that it was meant to be a dark comedy. So it…

It is a good looking movie. The movie itself was terrible. I don't think I'd use the word "generic" though.

I imagine non-parents will find it ridiculous (as I did) and parents would likely be skeeved out while also finding it ridiculous.

I actually really like Sarah Polley. I was excited for this because of her and because it looked like an interesting, well-shot sci-fi flick.

I agree, Recall. This would probably be a good "cult"-ish movie or something, which is fine, but it is played so seriously, and it starts out as a more science-fictiony thing with mutant babies, how to raise it, etc. and then the last bit tries to get…horrific? There's the moment where people left that I wrote up…

I got to see a showing of this. I thought it was fucking horrible. It turns even hilariously awful at the end. I didn't go in expecting "the usual monster-of-the-week horror movie," I thought it'd be an interesting sci-fi movie. It was just BAD. The end was at least entertaining in its badness.

I'm sorry
But this looks like total shit. Surprised it got a "B." Maybe better than it looks?

Inside you
Inside you…

Yeah, I remember seeing that when I was 7. The concept of death was something I hadn't yet grappled with and tried to avoid, so that scene came off as "heavy." (Obviously now it isn't so much, but I still find it at least effective.) Using Satie's "Gymnopedie No 1" (I think?) in the scene really works. The idea of…
