    Fantastic Four 2

    Hmmm...Namor? That would certainly be interesting. Then again, they might be going for a Sue/Silver Surfer hook up.

    Got DirecTv with DVR. What now?

    There's also IFC (the Independent Film Channel) on Ch. 550. They show movies uncut and widescreen. They show movies ranging from arty-farty French films to House Of 1,000 Corpses. Also, every Saturday morning, they air a samurai movie as part of Samurai Saturdays. They've also been showing...

    Doctor Who 1.11 (5/19/06) Boom Town (current-ep spoilers)

    I don't think that's really the case. After all, people in America hear English all the time, not just in the movies. :) But, as Scrubkai said, it seems to come from a very specific part of the country. Since the US is a very, very big place, most people aren't going to be familiar with it.

    Doctor Who 1.11 (5/19/06) Boom Town (current-ep spoilers)

    Yeah, I did miss some bits and pieces. I usually tape it as I'm watching it, just in case something comes up and I have to step away from the TV. Normally, I rewatch it in such cases, but this week I really didn't care enough to do that. And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought...

    Doctor Who 1.11 (5/19/06) Boom Town (current-ep spoilers)

    You're not alone. I have to admit I was only really half watching it. The only bits I found interesting were the "Rose is a jerk" parts. They actually made me like Mickey a little bit more. I didn't like the Slitheen character at all. So, she should be shown mercy for allowing a pregnant...

    Latest JLU -spoilers

    I thought the episode was great right up until the end. I didn't like the climax at all. As I was watching it, I remember thinking, "Boy, I bet Lex wishes he kept that 'Anti-Superpower Gun'", and then Lex shows up with the Anti-Life Equation. This was one of my complaints about Justice...

    Infinite Crisis - The Aftermath

    I was cynical concerning the whole IC thing. It just seemed like a marketing tool. How many mini-series are connected to this thing? Countdown, Rannn-Thanagr War, OMAC, Villains United, Vengeance, 52, and Battle For Bludhaven. There are also a few others like Ion, but I don't know if/how...

    Why does the Sci-Fi channel show such a poor quality version of The Car...

    Some time ago, one of the other channels (I think it was AMC or FMC) aired The Car and, iirc, it was in pretty good condition (I don't think it was widescreen, though). About the worst quality film Sci-Fi has ever shown was Spectre, a made-for-tv movie starring Robert Culp. The movie itself...

    Godzilla: Final Wars...

    I was a bit apprehensive about this film since it got mixed reviews, even on Godzilla-specific sites. Even the best ones tended toward, "It's not as bad as everyone says" type reviews. However, I will say that I was pleasantly surprised. The story was good for a Godzilla film and the...

    Movie vs. Trailer: 13th Warrior, ROTK

    I just saw a commercial for Bloodrayne and that did not look good at all. Then again, the theatrical trailer may be better. Of course, even a really bad trailer for one of his films would still make the movie look better than it actually is. As for terrible trailers, 13th Warrior's is pretty...

    G4TV Does It Again

    I just found out Icons isn't cancelled. However, they did fire the guy who wrote all the previous episodes and are "retooling" it. I have no idea what that means, but I'd place money that the new Icons will resemble the old one as much as Attack Of The Show resembles Screen Savers. So...

    G4TV Does It Again

    Thanks for the support. Honestly, I feel more depressed about these cancellations than the previous ones. With those, I was angry. I think that was mainly due to the way they treated the TechTV employees (forcing them to move and then firing them). I don't watch many TV shows anymore, so...

    G4TV Does It Again

    Most people here probably remember the G4/TechTV merger. For those that missed it, back in 2004, G4 (a small TV network owned by Comcast) bought out the more widely available TechTV. G4 assured everyone that this wasn't a buyout, but a merger and that they weren't going to cancel any of the...

    Painkiller Jane

    OMG, I totally forgot about Skeleton Man. :eek: Add Dracula 3000 to that negative rating list. Those movies qualify as torture in some countries. Man-Thing, otoh, was a pretty good. Granted, it had nothing to do with the comic, but as a monster flick, it was great (I will admit to having a...

    New Adult Swim -- What do you think?

    G4 was showing something called "Rahxephion" (or something like that). It was a giant robot anime, so I never watched it. They just wrapped up that one and started showing "Colorful". I have no idea if they played the complete robot series or if they switched to another anime will come back...

    Ghostbusters 3

    Well, a movie "sucking" is a matter of opinion. There's a plot summary here, so he has enough information to determine if he thinks he'll dislike it. Hell, you can make a pretty good informed opinion about a film with just four words: "directed by Uwe Boll". :) Personally, I'm worried when...

    Superman I & II: not all that

    You had to wait until Quest For Peace for that, when Superman rebuilds the Great Wall of China by just looking at it.

    Worst series ending concepts

    I was always bothered by this. The writers say that humanity has "evolved" beyond the need for what amounts to religious beliefs. OTOH, other alien cultures, from Klingons to Vulcans, are shown to have some kind of religious beliefs. This must then mean that these aliens aren't as evolved...

    Worst series ending concepts

    I forgot about Angel. They basically tried to squeeze another season into the last few episode. The rushed feel was bad enough, but taking time out to include the comedy episode with The Immortal in Italy was an incredibly dumb idea. We're supposed to be concerned that Angel has turned...
