Heavy Metal 2000 wasn't all that bad. It had its moments. A nice try to mix hand-animation and early-cgi. Where it went wrong was packaging itself as a Heavy Metal film instead of a stand-alone story.

"Remember, this is the quality of referee the NFL is prepared to start the season with in just a week's time"

ROFL! Glad this was on a pre-season game, otherwise the NFL would probably put the hard clamps on internet replays until they can compile and sell a "Best of Botched Calls" DVD for $29.99 (plus shipping). Don't put it past them, the NFL makes the RIAA look like a charity when it comes to content.

Good Lord! Don't give him any ideas! Who knows what he'd do!

Another interesting premise turned into another reality-show dystopian squabble-fest of sniping, griping, bickering, and screwing. And I don't buy the "it's human nature" argument either. To me, human nature is about overcoming these primal traits, not indulging in them as an excuse.

Where's Willard? -;)

As long as they keep Glenn Yarbrough's horrid songs off the soundtrack this time, I'll be happy.

This is what happens when a sci-fi tv show starts writing checks it's miniscule budget can't cash. Only Babylon 5, BSG, and the Treks managed to pull that off.

Y'know, Taylor, after a few grape juice plusses, you really don't look so damn ugly!

"At last. I am ready to go where no...man...has...gone...before!"

Don't worry, fellas, whatever took Tony's breath away, I'll be there to cheer him up for a long, looong, time! Ah-haa-haa-haa!

"Hmm... I wonder if PBS would get more donations if I were to put a giant, fire-breathing lizard right about here?

...and there goes the neighborhood!

This way the Cars can use their wipers to keep their field of vision clear. You can't do that as well with headlights—unless you're a Volvo -;)

One thing for sure is there would be wall-to-wall cheap, reality shows on TV about it; from "Pimp My Relation-spaceship" to "You Wanna Put That Tentacle /WHERE/?" All with plenty of ADS for Yautja Viagra and the Law Offices of Plrfft, Zpx'll, and Greene.

Hopefully it isn't just another faux-reality-show squabble/fight/melodrama fest with a post-apocalyptic twist. That's getting old, old, old.

Not bad action, except the cgi of the uniformed officers reminded me of "Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within", or a good home made fanfic level.

RISK games I played almost always turned out the same: one-or-two players got knocked out before their first turns from bad luck and bad placement of their armies, two more would achieve tenuous control of smaller continents and then get wiped out before their third-or-fourth turns, three of the remaining four would…

His top half was recovered and turned into a robo-drider.

Interesting you mention "Van Helsing" The film print wasn't framed correctly by the projectionist at the theater where I saw it, and the audience got to see a plethora of boom mics, camera light shields director's hand-signals, and other filming artifacts in all the live-action shots (of course they were absent in…
