A pair of reviews come in for Danny Boyle's SUNSHINE!!!

We should all support this. by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 02:07:11 AM
Tghere has been a profound lack of intelligent sci-fi in recent years. The last one, Solaris (yeah, remake, so what?) TANKED at the box office. If we want any more movies like this we need to be in the audience opening weekend. That is all.
Still want to see it by Aloy	Mar 20th, 2007 02:08:49 AM
Sounds dicey but great CGI is worth a look.
well, I'll see it I guess... by fractureJonze	Mar 20th, 2007 02:14:43 AM
Looks good.
playkins: but we DON'T want movies like this! by prbt	Mar 20th, 2007 02:45:45 AM
I want intelligent sci-fi, I don't want this, I couldn't be less interested. Film-makers who spend money on visuals over plot deserve everything they get.
i wana see this by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 02:51:15 AM
loved trainspotting and i liked the first three quarters of that thing 28 days laters. this looks alright. hope he aint losing it though. you know what i mean? cant believe this geeza made that shitfest cameron diaz fim with ewan mcgregor- cant fucking remember what the fuck it was called. it was more like a bird's fim though.
oh yeah. 6th, bitches! by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 02:51:50 AM
That's my word from the council estates
Come on boys.. by Wired Earp	Mar 20th, 2007 03:36:02 AM
Its a scifi flick totally without the interference of that there Michael Bay. gotta see this one.
Sans Bay by Rustmonster	Mar 20th, 2007 03:51:36 AM
Boyle said in the Q&A that he used his cache from 28 Days Later to enable him to get the maximum amount of money he could get and still make the film he wanted without the interference of the studio. If he'd ended up being bankrolled by the studio there would have been much more pressure to cast big names and to bow to some of the studio's demands, such as frequently cutting back to earth to "raise the stakes" and so forth.
Ship should have been named Prometheus by Det. John Kimble	Mar 20th, 2007 03:52:41 AM
But then I guess these guys never read "The Golden Apples of The Sun"
prbt: by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 04:06:56 AM
Ok, then. Give an example of something you DO like, then. I want you to tell me ONE hard sci-fi flick within the last couple years that emphasized plot over visuals. Sunshine was compared to 2001 and Aliens in the review. Both smart Sci-fi. Even event horizon, while it fell apart in the end started with a smart concept. I said "IF" we want. You said "we don't want". Don't speak for everyone else.
I saw this last night too. by jenkis	Mar 20th, 2007 04:08:36 AM
I enjoyed it; the idea isn't original, but the film is beautifully shot and the sound/score are both great. Better than Event Horizon, not as good as 2001. Although that's a pretty wide margin.
Boyle's best film is still... by workshed	Mar 20th, 2007 04:35:57 AM
'Shallow Grave' - he's always been a trendsetter so let's hope we get a run of intelligent sci-fi like we did the glut of zombie movies after 28dl.
Danny Boyle and Alex Garland repeat the tired schtick: by newc0253	Mar 20th, 2007 04:40:56 AM
they've made three films together (the beach, 28 days later, and now sunshine) and the third act is always the fucking same: the protagonist has to defend himself from a world gone insane. whether its the beach community, the squaddies in 28 days later, or the crew in sunshine. it worked well enough in the beach (although the book version was superior to the films), but it was already tired by the time they used it for 28 days. for all that the cast and the special effects seem interesting, there's no way i'm gonna bother to see this in cinemas. Boyle has directed some good films but he's beginning to hit the level of straight-to-DVD as far as i'm concerned.
I don't trust negative reviews of Boyle's work by smackfu	Mar 20th, 2007 04:53:07 AM
Loved Shallow Grave, loved Trainspotting. When the Beach came out everyone shat on it, and despite the DiCaprio factor, I liked it. When 28 Days Later came out, again, everyone shat on it, made it sound like it was horrible, and I absolutely loved it.
"a profound lack of intelligent sci-fi in recent years" by newc0253	Mar 20th, 2007 05:07:55 AM
really? the fountain? children of men? serenity? then again, if your idea of 'intelligent sci-fi' is a shitty danny boyle movie, then i guess it's a relief that there's not more of it.
newc0253 by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 05:23:45 AM
Is that all you can come up with? The Fountain: Barely sci-fi. The only reason anyone thinks so is the Hugh Jackman's fantasy resolution to his wife's death. Serenity? You've got to be kidding, right? A popcorn flick (albeit well done). Children of Men: Very good, but little more than a chase film when you break it down. And I wouldn't call it "hard science fiction". It's dystopian sci-fi at it's core. The only one of those films that approaches cerebral is The Fountain.
oh, and... by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 05:25:58 AM
Three film in the last, what, FIVE years is nothing to shout about, especially when we're continually subjected to drivel like "Are We Done Yet?". No, people are mre content to bitch about genre film they supposedly enjoy.
PPS... by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 05:28:21 AM
Dissect my original post and you might realize all I mean is that we need to support a genre of films that historically don't tend to do well.
yeah, way to walk it back, playkins: by newc0253	Mar 20th, 2007 07:01:14 AM
for a start, you seem to confuse sci-fi with 'cerebral'. then, you claim that the fountain is only sci-fi in the future segment. then you dismiss the sci-fi of serenity as 'popcorn' and the sci-fi of 'children of men' as 'a chase film' (i guess 'scanner darkly', another good film from last year, is just 'a drugs films', right?). but then, what makes 'sunshine' sci-fi? the fact that it involves spaceships?or because it tries to be a little metaphysical? from everything i've seen and read, the premise of 'sunshine' seems like an overwrought version of 'the core' or 'event horizon', i.e. standard hollywood shittyness. and if i'm gonna watch action, i'd rather watch the characters in 'serenity' fight or the characters in 'children of men' get chased than sit through another fucking danny boyle film in which the crew turns on one another. yes, we should support good scifi movies. but not tedious, uninspired ones like 'sunshine' seems to be.
Cillian Murphy is short... by Karl Childers	Mar 20th, 2007 07:06:41 AM
His cock's not too big either. He got a double-whammy in the genes game of life.
Best TB name ever by Lost Prophet	Mar 20th, 2007 07:44:37 AM
Tracey Emin's left tit- brilliant! Wish I'd thought of that.
imdb has cillian at 5'9" by BadMrWonka	Mar 20th, 2007 07:56:39 AM
that's considered "really short"? did Yao Ming write this review? maybe he was talking about his pecker. the reviewer really did seem to like Chris Evans a little too much...
There is a lack of intelligent Sci-Fi by Lost Prophet	Mar 20th, 2007 07:57:50 AM
and an awful lot of dreck. Children of Men is an intelligent Sci-Fi book, that is a slightly less intelligent but still awesome film. I think you are wrong about people not wanting intelligent films. The reason people didn't like Solaris is that it was dull, pretentious, overwrought shit. I hated it so much that it actually soiled the original idea (if that makes sense). As well as these problems it also was marketed incredibly badly- I seem to remember it being sold in the UK as some sort of pseudo chick-flick on the basis that George Clooney got his arse out. A complete mis-representation of the film and therefore proved massively disappointing for those women that did go.
newc0253 on a roll.... by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 08:09:31 AM
How am I confusing sci-fi with 'cerebral'? I'm talking about science fiction that transcends stuff like "I Robot" or "Star Wars". I'll give you "Scanner Darkly". A great sci-fi flick that went almost completely under the radar except for genre fans. I saw it in a theater, but returns pretty much confirmed not many others did. Which is PRECISELY my reason for saying we should support any half-decent sci-fi flick. Serenity bombed too, which was totally undeserved. Of course, both "Serenity" AND "Children of Men" tread entirely new ground in films, right? Nope, never seen movies like those before. And for the life of me, I can't figure out why you're passing judgement on a film you have yourself stated that you haven't seen yet. Sounds like you just want Danny Boyle to fail.
Science by ltgalloway	Mar 20th, 2007 08:30:00 AM
I'd like to know if they address the practical questions of what they are attempting. How much research is evident in the script? It sounds like they may have stopped at, "Hey, lets through a nuclear bomb at the sun to get it going again". I don't pretend to know much about astrophysics but won't the sun expand and incinerate earth before it eventually gets snuffed out? What stage of decay is the sun in? Is it our sun or have they colonized other solar systems? Of course, this could all be explained away as their living in the future and having a deeper understanding of the universe. I can also understand the perspective of not wanting to answer too many specific questions because of the can of science worms it is, but at least throw us something. I think I'll be disappointed if nothing is said about how they're going to to do what they plan to do. Maybe the Discovery channel will do a show about how much BS is in this movie.
suspension of disbelief by Lost Prophet	Mar 20th, 2007 08:41:31 AM
old chap. otherwise your brain will bleed.
Empire Mag says they hired an astro phsysist by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Mar 20th, 2007 09:24:31 AM
To try and get the science right. However, the Dr did say that they had to abandon it when they wanted to fire the nuke at the Sun, as the Sun would fry it before it got anywhere close. Plus as the Sun burns the equivalent of a million nukes a second (or whatever it does), how could a missile we could build kick start anything in the Sun. Come to think of it, why did they bother to hire him anyway, lol.
I'm sick of fucking Empire by Lost Prophet	Mar 20th, 2007 09:33:51 AM
they are the epitomy of bad, inept, incopetent journalism and have an alleged reviewing staff with the critical faculties of dog shit. I actually stopped reading it (and a hell of a lot of people I know also did) when they gave AOTC 5* because they gave TPM 4. Sole reason- I shit you not. Then, they tried to justify this when they got smashed by a barrelload of complaints by writing some weak shit along the lines of "If TPM was the opening 20 mins of AOTC wouldn't it be great". Basically- for Empire: Blockbuster= lots of stars, regardless of how shit it is. Look at what they gave SR if you don't believe me.
"intellectual gravitas" by Bill Brasky	Mar 20th, 2007 09:40:16 AM
Democrat talking points - September, 2000...
"science fiction that transcends stuff like "I Robot"" by newc0253	Mar 20th, 2007 09:52:43 AM
and yet you'd settle for something that sounds like a shitty rehash of 'event horizon'? no, i haven't seen 'sunshine', but thanks to AICN i've now read 2 negative reviews of it. i think boyle is a good director but, by all accounts, this is now the third film that he's made with exactly the same third act: the crew going crazy. does that sound like groundbreaking sci-fi to you? maybe it does, but don't expect the rest of us to support you.
The book The Beach is brilliant by Lovecraftfan	Mar 20th, 2007 10:14:01 AM
For those blaming the movie on Alex Garland which was terrible you've clearly never read his brilliant and far better book.
I guessed it would be like this by Ray Gamma	Mar 20th, 2007 10:21:33 AM
The second review doesn't surprise me one bit. From the moment I saw the first trailer with that too-young-and-good-looking crew, I knew it wasn't going to have the same realism of a classic like "Alien". Ah well, here goes another five years til the next time somebody attempts something in this tough genre.
Playkins by Ray Gamma	Mar 20th, 2007 10:23:29 AM
"Serenity" was shit. Just like "buffy" in space. Total shit.
a profound lack of intelligent scifi by Atomic.Lobster	Mar 20th, 2007 10:34:17 AM
Serenity and The Fountain are not intelligent scifi. Primer is intelligent scifi. Serenity is Cowbooooooys innnnnnn spaaaaaace. Sunshine sounds like The Core, which was also incredibly dumb but strangely watchable.
Alex Garland has run out of ideas: by newc0253	Mar 20th, 2007 10:34:26 AM
the Beach was a good book and (despite the changes) an underrated film. but Garland also wrote '28 days later' which, i'm sorry to say, was as overrated as the Beach was underrated. Garland seems like a smart writer but his stories always end the same way: he's a one-trick pony, and the trick is getting tired.
still wanna see it by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 10:54:25 AM
despite second review. too fucking negative and wierd. were they smoking crack or were they sucking their mum's heroine filled titties? i agree with Lost Prophet. empire has lost its way. i stopped buying that shit. actually i never bought it. i just nicked it from da newsagents. he was too stoopid. you snooze, you lose, my fwiend.
The Beach was never underrated by Lost Prophet	Mar 20th, 2007 12:05:37 PM
The book I mean. The film was, in fact, crap. I remember seeing hundreds of buggers wandering around with a copy of it. Scumbag is the funniest poster on here- Have you got a dog called ASBO, please say it's so?
new0253: by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 12:13:15 PM
You're putting words in my mouth. Again. Nowhere did I say it was "groundbreaking scifi". Not only that, but the plot is nowhere close to Event Horizon. I believe Event Horizon was mentioned as a comparison in style and tone. As Atomic.Lobster pointed out, you're losing credibility if you think "Serenity" is smart sci-fi.
"You're putting words in my mouth" by newc0253	Mar 20th, 2007 01:01:01 PM
dude, your first post on this talkback was an injunction to everyone to be in the audience for 'sunshine' on its opening weekend. why else would you claim we should be there? for the popcorn?? as whether i have credibility with someone called atomic.lobster because i like 'serenity', i really couldn't give a rat's ass. sure, 'serenity' isn't hard scifi but it's certainly as much SF as 'aliens' was, a movie which you yourself describe as 'smart scifi'. at the end of the day, though, you can define 'scifi' however you want: last time i checked, there's no OED definition. if i were you, i'd worry less aboutwhether 'sunshine' is gonna be a good scifi film, and worry more about whether it's gonna be a good film period.
I don't rust the negative reviewer by Triplesic	Mar 20th, 2007 01:10:44 PM
just on the notion that they took effort to mention that Chris Evans was really good in it on two occasions. Now I have no problem with him but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's probably not the best actor in the movie.
How does that first review come off as "positive?" by Childe Roland	Mar 20th, 2007 01:13:04 PM
It harps on lackluster acting and poor/unoriginal writing. Prettymuch just like the second review. And both seem to think the one thing the picture really has going for it is/are the visual effects. The first reviewer wrote a bit more eloquently and came away feeling, apparently, a little better about the film but at best described the experience as a mixed bag.
INTACTO sucked. by -guyinthebackrow	Mar 20th, 2007 01:18:17 PM
Boring. Rudderless. Mess.
a dog called ASBO by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 01:25:55 PM
i was tempted long ago when dat geeza off of eastenders had a dog called well ard. that was class. still might. it'd have to be a bandog tho. playkins and newc0253. behave yerselves, fellas. your acting like a couple of bitches! recognize!
talkbackers who write in character... by newc0253	Mar 20th, 2007 01:37:12 PM
are hilarious.
Sci Fi won an oscar this year! by The Skeptical	Mar 20th, 2007 02:09:18 PM
So let's all thank Al Gore for keeping the genre alive. I'll see this, just because the effects sound fun and Boyle's record is pretty good.
"Event Horizon without the Event." by CreasyBear	Mar 20th, 2007 02:19:54 PM
Ouch! Even moreso than most movies, I feel like I've already seen Sunshine, forgotten it, then watched a few minutes of it on TNT while flipping channels.
oi newc0253! who u callin a character? by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 02:25:06 PM
u being from the states wouldn't realise dat this is how we talk on the estates in london. we aint all got lush green rolling fields with buffaloes and cattle like in the big old yoo, ess, and aye! i live in a council flat, fella. we aint all got cadilacs and cowboy hats. all i got is my ipod (well my next door neighbours who i nicked it off of) and my hoody (nicked too) and my oyster card (you guessed it) i'm off down the pub. good evening, geezas. i'm off to get hammered.
newc0253 (from one bitch to another) by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 02:47:45 PM
So answer me this- Why is it so wrong to try to encourage people to support a GENRE of films? All debate aside about the content or seriousness of the genre in oquestion. If someone is passionate about a genre (as I am), why are you going out of your way to invalidate my opinion? Seems I agreed with you about some of the films you brought up. Seems to me that not supporting a particular genre of films will result in....:::gasp::: a lack of more films of the like (of ANY quality).
CreasyBear by Sir Loin	Mar 20th, 2007 03:02:48 PM
LOL
have you seen this movie, Plantkins? by captainCAPSLOCK	Mar 20th, 2007 03:34:59 PM
i'm assuming yes, since you already know it's so 'intelligent'...i mean you'd have to see it to know right? i would add my opinions to this little sci-fi debate, but i don't feel like getting involved for a movie i'm not seeing.
"Event Horizon" by number5withabullet	Mar 20th, 2007 05:25:03 PM
Any time someone compares a movie to "Event Horizon" I run for the hills. I am still going to brave it , though. What the fuck is wrong with "Serenity" by the way?! Does scifi lose all artistic credit once it becomes entertaining? Serenity was an exceptionally well written, shot, and edited film. I wouldn't nominate it for best picture, but it sure beats most science fiction today.
number5... by -guyinthebackrow	Mar 20th, 2007 05:34:34 PM
SERENITY was 'well shot and edited' you say. Hmmm. I suppose if you believe TV movies are the highest form of motion picture art then, yes, SERENITY was 'well shot and edited'.
the sci fi genre really doesn't need support: by newc0253	Mar 20th, 2007 05:56:30 PM
hollywood makes lots of films that can be broadly termed sci fi. many of those films are shite but so what? i'd like to see more good sci fi movies being made, but i fail to see the logic of supporting the making of good sci fi films by going to see more bad ones. i'd also like to see more good fantasy movies, but that doesn't mean i'm gonna watch 'eragon' either. ultimately, going to see a shitty movie on opening day only encourages the studios to make more shitty movies, regardless of the genre.
council estate scumbag... by pdennett316	Mar 20th, 2007 06:13:24 PM
Hull yoo, yoo ur a charakter. A'm skottish, but I dont type with a fucking accent like I just did for 8 words. Who in the fuck types like he speaks? No-one, thats who! Oh, and London council estates are filled with pathetic cockney chavs, only hard when they've got fifty equally retarded mates to back them up. Yeh mate, I'll bang ya mate...I'll bash ya!!!! Fucking chav loser Southern softie twat!!!
newc0253 by Triplesic	Mar 20th, 2007 06:51:07 PM
That is a very good point!!!!
I think this movie will be good by Triplesic	Mar 20th, 2007 07:00:58 PM
hey at least it's not a Michael Bay movie. There isn't anything that I've seen or read that makes me think this is going to suck. If you're on a mission to the sun I can't think of any other name you would call your ship but Icarus. and then name the second ship Icarus 2 in honor of the first crew. there's nothing illogical about that. Now, straying from your mission to check out the first ship might be a stretch but I can see that happening. Some of us here like to pretend that we're smarter then we really are, so we pick apart other people work as if we could do any better. And if your reading this and saying you could do better, well then, why are you reading this?
newc0253 (again) by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 09:28:56 PM
Your list of exempliary scifi included "Children of Men", "Serenity", and "The Fountain". Sorry if I don't take your appraisals of exemplary and noteworthy movies seriously.
one last thing... by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 09:34:59 PM
None of this changes the fact that you HAVEN'T SEEN THE FUCKING MOVIE YET! Who gives a shit what two reviews from god knows who say? You always decide what you enjoy based on the opinion of others? I'm done with you. Goodbye.
Atomic.Lobster is correct by ewokstew	Mar 20th, 2007 09:44:47 PM
Primer is smart sci-fi. I think Children of Men is an awesome film and a step in the right direction to lifting the stigma that many people place on the genre, but honestly, when you break it down, the film is more social fiction than science fiction.
Wow wheres all the hate for The Fountian coming from by Lovecraftfan	Mar 20th, 2007 11:07:52 PM
Not that it wasn't even science fiction tecnichally but that was a great movie. Children Of Men is brilliant.
Oh and Primer is massively overrated by Lovecraftfan	Mar 20th, 2007 11:08:16 PM
What a dull dull film
Playkins, stop being a whiny baby. by Bronx Cheer	Mar 20th, 2007 11:23:07 PM
You bark at someone to not speak for everyone, yet in your first post, you speak for everyone, and then tell us what to do! ("If we want any more movies like this we need to be in the audience opening weekend. That is all.") If you go back and look at your little tirades, you might step back and realize that you are taking this stuff far too seriously for your own good. I'd worry less about whether movies adhere to strict genre guidelines and care more that there are just good films. The blending of genres is where it's at anyway. What to you is real science fiction? To me, it's literary. It's not movies, so as soon as you try to transfer what makes straight ahead SF work on the page to the screen, sorry, you're going to have a lot of people falling asleep in the theater. Cerebral just doesn't work in the movies. The closest you'll get to cerebral is something like "My Dinner with Andre" or "Vanya on 42nd Street." Hell, "Children of Men" was damned cerebral, and you knock it because it was dystopian. Sorry, but so is a hell of a lot of science fiction. (Ok, you can throw a fit now.)
ewokstew, science vs social fiction? WTF by Bronx Cheer	Mar 20th, 2007 11:34:55 PM
You say about "Children of Men" that "the film is more social fiction than science fiction." What precisely is social fiction? Stuff you read at parties? If you mean social commentary, what the heck do you think SF tries to do? The whole thing about speculative fiction (which is a better term for sci-fi anyway) is to speculate or extrapolate and in doing so examine us in the here and now. A HUGE component of SF is social commentary. How does "Children" fail that test? I think people are getting far too hung up on labels to actually enjoy anything anymore. This reminds me of the raging debate when "Star Wars" came out. All the hard-core sci-fi fans were bitching that it was fantasy, not SF. Or the annoying Star Trek fans who went to war against Space:1999 because 1999 said something to the effect that "this is going to be real sci-fi, not with crazy stuff like 'transporters' or warp speed." And what do they end up doing within a year? All sorts of crazy-ass Irwin Allen Lost in Space type nonsense. Who gives a shit! Watch the damned movie and then have a reaction. And quit jerking off to screen caps of Sulu all sweaty and shirtless running around the Enterprise with a sword.
NONE OF YOU KNOW SCIFI UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN KRRISH by Bronx Cheer	Mar 20th, 2007 11:38:51 PM
MY GOODNESS THE BRILLIANCE THAT HE IS IS ALMOST TOO AMAZING FOR ANYONE TO COMPREHEND. HE IS UTTERLY STRONG AND REPRESENTING THE NECESSARY NATURAL AGENTS OF CHANGE AND EARLY FORECLOSURE. FOR KRRISH IS THE MARKET CORRECTION AND USA MOVIES NEED BE REMOVED FROM THETARES FOREVER!!!1! OH, AND SPIDER-FELLOW SUCKS AND WILL BE LEVELED WITH IMPUNITY BY THE SILVER SURFER AND HIS TAX-PREPARING SURFBOARD OF HOORIBLE VENGENCE.
Bronx Cheer: (thanks, I will) by Playkins	Mar 20th, 2007 11:40:19 PM
Say what you want about me, but I don't go around bitching about movies I've never seen.
Wow. by sunshinedna	Mar 21st, 2007 02:31:09 AM
There's a lot of dumb people here. Playkins, why do you hang out with them? For everyone who says 'Sunshine' isn't believable, then goes on to site '2001' as a realistic sci-fi film, I'd like them to explain the science of the whole stargate/watching himself age/orbiting the Earth as a fetus thing. Thanks.... Also, for anyone who claims that in 'Sunshine' they divert the mission for illogical reasons, then goes on to site 'Alien' as realistic, then I'd appreciate why going to a planet they've never visited before after hearing a signal from it was the obvious choice for that crew. Thanks again...
"exemplary and noteworthy movies" by newc0253	Mar 21st, 2007 05:07:59 AM
ah, playkins: you post so much but you read and understand so very little. i listed 'children of men', 'serenity', 'the fountain', and 'scanner darkly' as examples of recent quality SF films, not as some kind of top 10 best all-time SF films. i gave you those examples because you seemed to think we're living through some kind of SF drought. yet in the last six months alone, i've seen 'children of men', 'scanner darkly' and 'the fountain' at cinemas. if this is a fucking drought, dude, i'll happily keep living in the desert.
Did Winterbottom do Children of Men? by Maniaq	Mar 21st, 2007 06:21:57 AM
That film was the best Science Fiction I have seen in a long, long time - we're talking just skip all of the nineties and most of the eighties... Yeah sure The Matrix comes close - but no cigar
Re-ignite the sun... OF COURSE!! it's bound to work by BendersShinyAss	Mar 21st, 2007 07:57:45 AM
i wont see this film on it's basic insulting premise
Can't the Human Torch just flame on?? by polyh3dron	Mar 21st, 2007 09:23:34 AM
WTF?
RE: gayinthebackrow by polyh3dron	Mar 21st, 2007 09:27:11 AM
Just because Serenity was a continuation of a TV show doesn't automatically make it TV Movie quality.. it WAS beautifully shot and edited, and just because its story began with a TV show your opinion is colored by that.
The premise of this film... by Childe Roland	Mar 21st, 2007 01:00:07 PM
...reminds me of the old joke about the Polish space mission tot he sun. "But won't it be too hot?" asked one intrepid reporter. "Oh, we thought of that," answers Dr. Smartski. "We're going at night." And the Guinness guys say: "Brilliant!"

newc0253 "i'll happily keep living in the desert" by Playkins	Mar 21st, 2007 04:50:19 PM
"you post so much but you read and understand so very little" Funny, that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking about you. Did I ever say those films were in some kind of phantom top-ten? No. YOU picked those out when I asked SOMEONE ELSE what they thought were "sci-fi flick[s] within the last couple years that emphasized plot over visuals". So keep criticizing my comphrehension skills, you aren't doing so hot, either. And for the record, I'm not a DUDE, but I don't feel it necessary to keep correcting you on minutia, do I? As for living in a drought, more power to you. Just understand that there are people that would rather have more choices, even if they aren't as amazing as "Serenity". Please note the sarcasm, I wouldn't want you to misunderstand again.
Hi Everyone. I love you! by Bronx Cheer	Mar 21st, 2007 06:44:42 PM
Why? Because you have names like BendersShinyAss and Franklin T. Marmoset! Will I love you forever? You bet I will! Should you run--RUN--for the exits now? Oh yes, yes you should.
