I've never seen 2001 ....Great show this week guys. I've never seen 2001 ... it's something that's in my queue, but haven't quite gotten around to renting it yet.<BR/><BR/>Explorers I loved when I was a kid ... kind of makes me want to rent it again, but I'm afraid that it'll be a letdown after all the years in between.<BR/><BR/>Serenity is a very good film, but I think that it's way overhyped by the Browncoats. I was a Firefly fan, too, for the record, but I didn't think that the movie was in the same league as the show. I have a theory as to why it's hyped as being SO good, which is, Firefly is a show that was cancelled too soon and left an insanely loyal following. These folks are pretty much 100% responsible for giving Firefly new life on the big screen ... so they can't even conceive that the movie might just be another decent sci-fi film, and not one of the greatest of all time. My 2 cents.<BR/><BR/>My own top 5 favorite starships:<BR/><BR/>5) Nostromo, Aliens (can't believe neither of the Alien films were discussed in detail by you guys (in my mind, Alien 3 & 4 never happened))<BR/><BR/>4) Super Star Destroyer (I loved this when I was a kid ... thought it was so much more bad-ass than the Death Star)<BR/><BR/>3) The Enterprise (yeah, it's cliche, but it's The Enterprise for god's sake ... it has to make the list)<BR/><BR/>2) The Mothership, Close Encounters of the Third Kind (it plays music!)<BR/><BR/>1) The Millenium Falcon (again, I know it's cliche, but if someone put a gun to your head and you could only pick one spaceship to get the job done, no one in their right mind would pick anything besides the Falcon. It did the Kessel in less than 12 parsecs! Can any other ship make that claim? Growing up, I didn't know a kid on the block who didn't have a Millenium Falcon toy)Trevor McFurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367497547181468484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178980631885440064.post-45028259902047911542008-03-12T11:14:00.000-07:002008-03-12T11:14:00.000-07:00I like your avatar Chris but not as much as Elizab...I like your avatar Chris but not as much as Elizabeth Mitchell's avatars.eliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190503409394895327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178980631885440064.post-77472868991994439792008-03-11T01:43:00.000-07:002008-03-11T01:43:00.000-07:00First - Flawedprefect: marvellous name.

Y...Finally listened - THANKS for another shoutout! You guys were hilarious this episode. <BR/><BR/>Really enjoyed th 2001 discussion, it covered most of my thoughts and my divided opinion about it. I think with Kubrick's movies you either are able to get past the emotional ice, and sometimes lack of robust narrative, or you can't. This is why I found it such an odd pairing when Speilberg finished A.I. b/c I have a hard time thinking of two directors who could be more unalike in the type of storytelling they do. <BR/>But as soon as I say that, I think of Close Encounters and I always thought that had a Kubrickness to it. So I don't know. <BR/>I did like A.I. though - I thought it ended up working suprisingly well for having two such different (and HUUUUUGE directors) involved.<BR/><BR/>This brings me to what Mac would like to say - he wants you to do A.I. films (suprise suprise) - you know, robots, computers, androids, cyborgs. I tried to tell him you probably have your fill of Sci-Fi for now, but he's such a whiner!mbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818283826571948297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178980631885440064.post-22201063889065205842008-03-07T04:26:00.000-08:002008-03-07T04:26:00.000-08:00Topsy-Turvy on Netflix<A HREF="http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Topsy-Turvy/70000814?lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strkid=2095021279_0_0" REL="nofollow">Topsy-Turvy on Netflix</A>Chris JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645022459110677140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178980631885440064.post-85351819502798908672008-03-07T04:04:00.000-08:002008-03-07T04:04:00.000-08:00really?
