FastFinisher Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 It's kind of really corny and stupid. But if you like stuff like that then this show is for you. I also have developed a crush on the main chick in the show. I'd give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Cheese and corn can be good. I just have a hard time dedicating to any series in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemFailure Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Likewise. This isn't scifi but I actually watched all of Weeds seasons 1-3 and then that shit just became retarded. The Wire is about the only series I've stayed loyal to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 A lot of these newerish series start out on outrageous and can only go bad from there. I've been watching Super Natural and like how they took time to build the story/plot up. At least for a show of that type. I've tried Dexter, Weeds, Breaking Bad and just got disappointed.

SystemFailure Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Mhm I'll second that motion. Weeds was actually a pretty well written show and the shit just went doo doo. Writers were scrapin the barrel to make shit seem more glamorous/extravagant. Just comes off as corny and cheap manipulation of dialogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 I agree about the Weeds. Originally when it was more 'realistic' it was a great watch and well done. Then BOOM! Straight over the top. It is a show, but they did it right in the beginning. Californication is a show I'll still watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastFinisher Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 On Cali I liked how he hooked up with the chick the nanny. Smash all day. I only saw season 1 and 2 of weeds they were tight but I just fell off from watching it. One of my roomstes watches supernatural. I couldn't get in to it.

IOU Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Getting back into a Sci-Fi kick recently: http://www.archive.org/details/NoticeOfIntent Cool short story, worth the quick read. I also picked up "Pattern Recognition(hard cover)" for a buck-fifty. Guy misread the price, but they get money quite often so no biggie. Actually I wound up getting "Dondi White" and "Pattern" for $21 even. Not a bad deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemFailure Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Shit forgot bout this thread. Been reading some good good ass shit shit I can not recommend this compilation hard enough a quick film adaptation of one of the short stories called Pop Art http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSSDFZCHgTI I could only find one with spanish subtitles Broken record but this guy is one of the best writers Ive come across. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I scanned the thread but didn't see any Jules Verne. All bad movies and tv shows aside, these books are simply amazing. If you have any interest in natural sciences, especially geology and biology, you can see how accurate he is even today though he lived over 100 years ago. One of the reasons why I want to learn French is so I can read his untranslated work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Good stuff System. Putting that cat down on my NEXT list. Jules is the man. Can't believe he wasn't mentioned. I dig the old movies they did of his work, mostly because I grew up on them. But his books are a great fucking read. BTW: Really liking the Pattern Recognition.

SystemFailure Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 No problem man always happy to share shit. Me and my boys been doin a round robin exchange shit with books and music for a bit now. Fun stuff. Here's another strong recommendation. This was originally released as a three part chronicle but you can now purchase it all three condensed in a big softcover. Or if you're like me nerd out and waste money for the hardcover edition. This has it all probably my favorite work of science fiction ever.

IOU Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'm actually looking forward to Falling Skies.. Hopefully its not full of disappointment.. Anyone still watching V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Blum Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I was fascinated/scared by the original V when i was little because of the scene where the person is revealed as a lizard underneath: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharkano Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Really liked the original V when I was younger but I thought the new one got cancelled ? Either way didnt really feel the same way about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 @Lew: Yeah that scene fucked my shit up. Haha.. @vhar: I'm sure it was canceled, shows like that are best left to basic cable to be honest. I watched once or twice and wasn't impressed. Anyone here watch Eureka? I love that show, but need to do a marathon session to really get back on track.

Ko SprueOne Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 this is an interesting toy and it's called a Jedi, sci-fi... http://idle.slashdot.org/story/11/07/18/1339235/Stanford-Students-Build-JediBot if it was turned up in action/reaction time and outfitted with an actual sword, it would have chopped them all up hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Been digging on the new episodes of Eureka, have sort of started watching Warehouse 13 and liking Falling Skies so far. What is everyone else geeking on these days? Nice post Ko... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 My inner geek has been let loose. Falling Skies(what the new V series should have been) and now watching Terra Nova which is Land of the Lost meets Jurassic Park without the money to back it. Yes nerd. Almost finish with Heavy Weather which caught me by surprise. Where my nerds at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a mutant rancor Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I have heard that there is a new Jurassic park being filmed? Also V was the biggest waste of time i was waiting for something to happen for so long, nothing did. Really wish i had the sci-fi channel on foxtel so much shit i wanna watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOOGLE? Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 do yourself a favor and never watch this movie... the history of Assault Girls can be traced back to 2006, when Oshii directed a film called The Amazing Lives of the Fast Food Grifters. This animation feature was considered too obscure for wider international distribution. In Japan, however, it spun a 25 minute live action spin off The Women of Fast Food (2006), which was followed by feature length sequel Shin onna tachiguishi retsuden (2007). It was in this episode film that Assault Girl made her debut. The sci-fi story followed a female warrior, Colonel (Hinako Saeki), fighting gigantic snake creatures on a deserted planet. Assault Girl 2 was released next year as a part of the episode film Kill. Unrelated to the original and leaning more towards art house than action, Assault Girl 2 depicted the symbolic fight between the archangels Michael (Yoko Fujita) Lucifer (Rinko Kikuchi). A feature length extension of the concept, Assault Girls is a combination of its predecessors, as well as Oshii’s 2001 movie Avalon. i was disappoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
