JFC, STFU with the whining about not “enough” straight, white, male humans. It’s tiresome and lame.

It’s fucking Star Trek. It’s the poster child for SJW shows. The whole franchise has been making social and political statements from the very beginning when they decided to have a multi-cultural cast and deal with issues like the Vietnam War, racism, the Cold War, etc.
I know it’s hard to review a Star Trek show without being influenced by the franchise’s long history. But we also tend to focus on the best episodes of previous Treks. For good reason, the best episodes are the most memorable. But fans have to stop acting like every other episode of Trek was a “Balance of Terror” or…
You keep throwing that SJW thing around like it’s effective, pumpkin. It’s adorable.
As always, I think Zack’s core criticism are accurate.
If you can, track down the PBS TV version with Bruce Davison from many years ago. It was shot on a shoestring budget and a short schedule, so temper your expectations accordingly, but it’s a really good adaptation from a time when there was very little thoughtful scifi being filmed.
I was watching with two other people, and we all screamed and shouted when he died. I actually yelled, “NO!” because I’ve been worried the show would bury its gays since they were revealed to be in a relationship.
I miss Millennium. Millennium was such a great show ahead of its time.
The thing about Bill Maher that’s always killed me is how pissy he gets when the audience doesn’t laugh at his jokes. He always lashes out and accuses them of being too PC and liberal, but Louis CK and South Park are proof positive that liberals are more than happy to laugh at an off color joke so long as it’s…
It’s a reasonable hypothesis that Radcliffe started producing the physical copies as soon as he saw the Darkhold; or even sooner if he truly wanted his LMDs to be shields.
Hey, John Carter of Mars was awesome and had a lot going for it. It was a great movie!
Alien Encounter was awesome. Anything that makes grown adults cry is a work of art.
Bring back Mission to Mars! I want to stare at a red plastic dome while my seat deflates slightly. Stupid Stitch.
I really, really want to see what he would do with a new show runner. I’m afraid he’s going to be NuWho’s Colin Baker: good actor saddled with bad material. I’ve really enjoyed his cranky older Doctor—it was very much needed change (and nice rod to some of the earlier Doctors)
I came here for this. Thanks. An animated film based on Jodorowsky and Moebius’ storyboards would be amazing. Little to do with Dine itself, mind you (Jodorowsky didn’t read the book before writing his film), so there’s room for a straight adaptation as well!
Maybe someone will see Jodorowsky’s vision through:
I wouldn’t say Universal Monsters is a bizarre idea for a cinematic universe, because the original ones were one of the first such multi-series crossover franchises in film history, with initially separate characters crossing into each other’s sequels and team movies. Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man was both the fifth…
Universal’s Monster Universe might sound like a pretty bizarre (and public domain) alternative to the Marvel and DC…
