lava surfing: train to be a Jedi.
The thing that was truly silly was that the Stargate program must have cost trillions (seriously, intergalactic spaceships constructed in secret underground bases, interstellar wars) and must have employed tens of thousands people from all over the world, saw massive space battles featuring huge capital ships in orbit over earth (and in reality you can see the ISS flying over on a clear day) and it was still kept secret...
@AtomicBeerMan: Plenty of people died in Stargate. The military aspect may not have been realistic, but we are talking about a tv show that had the evil aliens walking around as ancient egyptians. It didn't bother me all that often, although at times they pushed things a bit too far with the sillyness.
Two Milla's for the the price of one! Oh wait, it's in 3D, so they'll charge extra.
@Lars: Summer Glau is a cute little pixie, but I wouldn't say she can convincingly kick ass on the big screen, or the little screen, or any screen. However I enjoy watching her trying to.
And with 'episode of the week' I meant 'adventure of the week'... And with it's I meant its...
I agree. Red Dwarf is simply one of the best sci-fi shows ever.
"Nobody doing science fiction today — especially space opera — can fail to be influenced by this show" - Really? What was so original about it? I liked it (except for some of the sillier Western in space stuff), it had some great characters and memorable episodes, but there wasn't much about it that hadn't been done before. You also have to wonder how many episodes this show could have had without getting lame. It wasn't really going anywhere except for the River mystery, that was resolved in the movie. Getting cancelled was probably the best thing that could have happened to give Firefly it's 'cult' status. It could have fallen into the 'episode of the week' trap if there had been several seasons or even just one full season.
Because SG-1 was fun escapism. There was great chemistry between the cast. Also the writers liked the concept of continuity.
That poster brings back happy memories. The first time I saw Star Wars and Empire was a back-to-back screening some time before the release of Jedi. There was even a Jedi trailer. It was a long time ago, before the dark times...
"The unbelievably strong gravitational forces in the accretion disc make the debris become super hot, emitting massive amounts of energy..." - Interesting article, but you what's sad? Yesterday I watched 'Volcano' and now I immediately thought 'Tommy Lee Jones could stand at the edge of that and shout at it'...
I still don't really care about this movie. The trailer was sort of funny, but a whole movie of that... not so sure. And no, I haven't read the comic.
Okay that's it. Live Action & CGI Smurf movie in 3D? Fine. Taking place in modern day NY instead of medieval fantasy land? Not so fine. Yahoo's super smart geo-tech to make sure I get the trailer in my country as fast as possible but then pauzing every 2 seconds to load the next 2 seconds? Not fine. An ad for some American restaurant chain or whatever after the trailer? Stupid!
Still don't care. It looks pretty stupid.
So yeah, sure, I'll watch it...

Wasn't the atmosphere a bit different back in the days of the dinosaurs? I don't think humans could survive.
Kelly Brook in 3D !
The wait is almost over.
It feels like 1999 all over again. I can only hope Alexandre Aja won't let me down like George Lucas did.
The original Adama (Lorne Greene) was cooler (in at least one episode): he could use the Force (in that one episode)!
@modernboy:
I think the scanner showed the same crack that was on Amy's wall.
@tetracycloide:
I think Dooku was in on the plan. He even visits Palpatine in the end and informs him that the war had begun.
It was also Dooku who had hired Jango to be the clone template, so he knew his droid army was going up against a clone army led by the jedi.
Nothing would have led the Jedi to Kamino if it hadn't been for Obi-Wan knowing some random guy who knew about the dart.
If the bad guys wanted the jedi to find Kamino, they certainly went out of their way to hide it, especially when for the rest of the prequels Palpatine pretty much tells everybody what to do and where to go (like finding that droid general in Episode 3).
It also makes the good guys look a bit competent, if not absolutely everything goes according to Palpatine's plan - which would be very lame.
But this movie is such a mess you can really make anything you want out of it and it still would be a mess. I'll never understand why Lucas didn't spend a bit more time writing it. It's not like he didn't have 2 decades for it.
