| _______________________________ [Jun 21,2010 10:30am - Yeti ""] i just watched The Black Hole this weekend, i think i saw it once when i was a kid. for being cheesy and a Disney movie it's surprisingly good, and surprisingly dark. |

Supposedly the WoT series may be made into movies but I dont have imdb pro to get more info... |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 22,2010 5:23pm - frankovhell ""] Firefly series anyone? Its not very dark, but I found the whole sci fi/western theme pretty interesting. It was ruined by FOX sadly. Its too bad another channel never bought it for more seasons. |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 22,2010 5:32pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] theres supposedly some big sci-fi western coming next year. |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 22,2010 5:43pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] doesnt look like its a western but i think this is the one i was thinking of http://teaser-trailer.com/movie/super-8/ |

It was ruined by FOX sadly. Its too bad another channel never bought it for more seasons. Just watched it through finally. I tell people it's like if Han Solo had his own show without the cheese of Star Wars or aliens. The movie they made to tie up the series, Serenity, is so fucking good. |

| _________________________________________ [Dec 22,2010 5:59pm - TheRidersofDoom ""] I enjoyed district 9 and didn't really watch it as a sci-fi movie. it was more of a story between the dude and the alien family with the overall theme of apartheid. although I am sure most haters will hate, Pandorum was actually a decent film and if you want to wait, del toro is directing at the mountains of madness, and I doubt he will fuck that up too much |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 22,2010 6:00pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i also enjoyed Pandorum. |

| ___________________________________________ [Dec 22,2010 6:14pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] for now... next year the ruined version comes out. |

Go read a fucking Heinlein and learn something. Heinlein is decent, I'm not all that into "hard" sci-fi though, and his books generally devolve into blindly idealistic hippie utopianism, which can be hard to stomach. "Stranger In A Strange Land" would have been fucking perfect if they cut that crap out of it, it gets terrible about halfway through, but hey, I'll take that over most of his other books. If we're talking books, I could go on all fucking day, especially with Dick. I can never get enough Dick. It's hardly fair to criticize Total Recall as not being faithful to the original short story, since there wasn't really that much to work with, the movie would have been ten minutes long. In all honesty, it is fairly faithful, it just picks up where the original story left off, leaves off the ending, which wouldn't have translated very well to the big screen, and explores some of Dick's other themes and ideas that he established in his novels. I think that's a pretty significant achievement, actually. For movies, I'm surprised Moon wasn't brought up. That's probably the best sci-fi movie I've seen in the last decade. Pandorum was entertaining, but it was kinda long for what it was, and lost some of its coherency (what little it had even) as a result. |
