CW Renews Supernatural, Vampire Diaries (Article) - 2/18/2010 5:07:25 PM

HEY! don't talk shit 'bout true blood.

Supernatural should end, I love it but it is in danger of the dreaded drag.  Smallville lost me after the midway point of the 5th season and I'm shocked everytime it's announced as a a renewal.  The literary version of the vampire diaries actually pre-dates the terrible twilight series and it's not that bad of a show so I'm okay with that.....ANTM is a guilty pleasure....but being a fully Hetero guy I don't think that should tough to admit.  I can't speak for the other "girl" shows because the trailers are enough to dissuade me.  The X-files got a little long in the tooth well before the great DD left and as for SG-1.......it got better and better with every season so I miss it terribly......as well as Atlantis.....but I'm one of the rare fans of SGU so as long as it keeps going I'll be happy.

A friend of mine had never seen an ep of 24 before last september.  We started watching them on break times at our place of work and we are halfway through season 4 now.  It amazes me how good this show was and what we are left holding right now.  I can't help but think that this is a terrible way for an amazing piece of tv history to die.  Last season was a little disapointing for me, the debilitating disease Jack suffered for the majority and the betrayal by Tony who was one of the best characters throughout the entire series, just left me with little or no hope for a future.  The writers failed miserably with the characters so far, with the downplay of Chloe's skills in the beginning, the weakness and stupidity of Dana and the over done dark despair of Renee why the hell is she so upset anyway? She didn't die or contract a deadly illness last year, oh she lost her boss who lusted after her but it seemed there was no relationship so.......what?  Jack lost his wife and came back to save the city and resume his post with CTU! Thats tough, thats why Renee is a lost cause and I'm starting to dislike her "poor me" character.  The knife in the gut (looked a little close to the liver)  was a mortal wound, not a bandaid fix, stupid choice writers!!  Killing Callum Kieth (rape artist) so fast is also a mistake.  having BSG people on board is a curse, not a blessing (dollhouse) Anybody miss the great John Cassar yet????

I do.  I love Kieffer and would take a bullet for him but the real genius behind this series is becoming painfully obvious with every episode since his departure.........R.I.P. 24...........single tear........

Heroes: Brave New World Review (Article) - 2/10/2010 4:15:11 PM

lots of holes, lots..... all mentioned here.....who the frack is writing?  what the frack are they doing?  it seems like they air an episode, listen to the feedback and then alter the storyline to suit the demands of the audience......or something......I don't know......I was enjoying Hiro's afterlife trial which could have been a season all in itself!  Robert Knepper was my favorite part of this entire series so far! (Zachary Quinto aside, an absolutely genius talent!)  and they made his character go out like a little bitch!  He should have succeeded in killing thousands, that would have created a brave new world too!  Far better than the gay Claire ending.....a typical American hollywood happy ending.  This show has run it's course with the current staff and unless they bring some radical new writing talent on board then it will die a slow painfull death on a Friday night sometime next year.  And what the hell is with only 18 episodes?  Am I wrong or is that 4 eps shy of a full standard season?  Did poor ratings force them to wrap things early?  Does anybody have an inside scoop on this weird mutha fukka?

Sony Bids for TERMINATOR (Article) - 2/5/2010 6:29:44 PM

Sorry y'all, had a bad day.  Here is how I view time travel in the Terminator universe.  It's akin to a tree dropping spores, sure they grow up to look like the original, but the branches go in different directions.  Everytime they travel back they are planting a new seed.  In the Salvation story, only the title character knows the future he's been told because he survived the past.  Skynet is a decade away from time travel and does not know the future events to come because none of thier attempts at changing the past were succesfull.  John Connor is the only one who knows what's coming and at this stage of his life he has to fight to gain a following.  The Salvation Story was totally different than previous terminator stories and it still maintained a small amount of continuity for the fans, even though they don't have to because like I said, every attempt failed therefore altering the course of things to come.

I loved all the Terminator films, loved them!  I wasn't much a fan of the series because I felt the story tried to bring the future closer faster, it should have been more about John and Sara's relationship and training, avoiding the law and trying to come to terms with a future neither of them want to see.  I also thought the casting was off, I like all the actors I just didn't enjoy them in those roles. 

I honestly can't say where I want to see this franchise go but I'm sure Monday will yield an interesting result and maybe some of you can be a little optimistic about the future by Tuesday!!

Sony Bids for TERMINATOR (Article) - 2/5/2010 6:16:44 PM

everything and anything "Terminator" that I have seen since 1984 has been enjoyable.  It's loose sci-fi folks, you want the "The English Patient"? you bunch of pretentious "know it all" hating mutha fukas.  Why don't you post some links to your own films?  WHAT? whaddya mean you've never made one!  With all the McG and Bay bashing I read on here it amazes me that you all don't just go out and make your own damn movies to jerk off too.  With the exception of the few intelligent post stating personal likes and dislikes of various films on here, I mostly end up reading stupid comments from people who likely arent stupid, but rather lazy and/or afraid to have an individual opinion.

I'm just kidding, every movie from last summer sucked.  In fact, every movie ever made with the exception of titanic and avatar sucked.

 

 

 

Stargate Universe: Time Review (Article) - 11/19/2009 3:05:08 PM

I really like this show a lot, over the course of the last year and a half I've been able to watch all 15 seasons of stargate (courtesy of itunes and the brilliant apple TV!) and despite the couple of filler episodes it's become my favorite sci-fi.......um....universe.  I think this show is victim to unfair comparisons and ridicule by people who would damn it for being different than SG1 and Atlantis or blast it for being the same.  It's the 3rd version and therefore cannot be a winner no matter how good it is.  In my opinion it's been well written, well acted and very well directed for a show so young.  Go back and watch early episodes of most classic sci-fi shows now and they usually feel dated and for some it's hard to believe they were renewed for subsequent seasons!  It's a hit every week on itunes and appears to be making money so the pretentious reviewers should maybe find something else to hack on if they genuinely don't like this series.....this episode was one of the finest in stargate history!  A   thats my grade!

Dexter: If I Had a Hammer (Article) - 11/3/2009 1:15:27 PM

Anton (spelling?) probably killed Lundy, because why would trinity leave Deb alive?  he's smart enough to make it look however he wants without having to leave a witness, Anton has motive, Trinity would have suffered the consequence of being caught......I could be wrong, but he just seems too methodical to step outside his bounds and kill Lundy, he's pretty much exactly like dexter, he has hard rules and a code.

RED to Roll in January (Article) - 10/23/2009 3:28:49 PM

shac2846, could you please tell me the magazine publisher and date of the issue you are talking about?  I'm officially calling your bluff.  You've indicated two severe movie mistakes that I've somehow missed.  I don't recall seeing devastator and the constructicons in two places at the same time, nor do I recall seeing any of the deceased robots fighting at the end.  In this day and age of the internet, I should have no problem finding that article you speak of.  But I'll tell you what I did see, special features which chronicle Michael Bay's obsessive compulsive nature towards every aspect of the filmaking process and his headache inducing attention to detail.......I find it hard to believe "I forgot"  would be his answer to anything.

RED to Roll in January (Article) - 10/23/2009 3:13:20 PM

I forgot to mention the score, great symphonic music!  I'm not a fan of linkin park, but denying that they have mass appeal would be incorrect.

I'm not telling anyone to shut up, I love reading these threads, I'm just saying that the condescention by which some posts are written is un-called for and usually leads to the back and forth hurling of pointless insults.  Too often filmakers are criticized by people who don't have the intelligence or skills to acheive the level of success that they have and don't consider how it makes them sound.  Michael Bay worked long and hard to reach the point where he is and he's a very very rich man because of it.  Like him or not he deserves respect.  In my opinion it's no different than an athlete like Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky winning a championship, whether your a fan of the team or not, you have to respect the skill and dedication that went into that success.  Saying that they suck or that they are terrible is just pure jealousy.
