What crappy sci-fi movies do we love to watch only whilst drunk?

@tontdoch:
Oh, btw, David Tennant's real name is David McDonald and he comes from a town a few miles to the west of Glasgow called Paisley.
My older brother has the same face as DT but he's only 162cm...
@Heriloke:
I have ever had such an intelligent reply to any of my drunken-yet-erudite ramblings/treatise on modern media.
To be honest, I made the comment in stages so I could vent my anger, without frustration, point by point.
I don't know your name so I'll call refer to you as HL.
You completely understand where I come from. It is only with the abrahamic religions where women are second-class.
It is another American influence on Western European society that we see pre-marital sex as 'bad'. They're also giving us 'abstinence rings' and the type of evangelical christianity that makes fundamental islam look like a wee laugh.
I'm not wanting to completely denigrate American 'culture' - they make some of the best films, but I hope you know where I'm coming from.
Shit, that's a long comment too!
Why do most major movie adaptations of TV series sc-fi involve the main ship being destroyed?

Glenister only tried the 'murcan accent because he didn't want to be typecast as a cockney thug - which was why he was cast in the role in the first place. He could've made the series successful but I think it's been cancelled after one season.
Whatever happened to the Lego Technics sets?
I was given two over successive years - the first was the bulldozer/crane/tractor/whatever you wanted, the second was the big car with the working V8 engine/tractor/multiple space-fighters/whatever I wanted.
Nowadays the Lego sets are so limited because the pieces are so specialist that the poor wee bugger that gets the set can only go so far with his/her imagination.
The majority of the Lego Technics pieces were normal Lego pieces with holes in the sides, axles, lots of different-sized gears, wheels with interchangeable tyres, wee grey linkages that linked each piece in so many ways, the possibility of adding the Lego electric motor at any time/any stage, holes in the 'lego nipples' on the top surface that accepted so many little new stuff...
The creativity of today's children is being slowly eroded by quick-fix, instant gratification.
Sorry, my rant is over, for now!
I live in Glasgow in Scotland.
I am an Irish-Scot (as you Americans would like to label me).
The following is my interpretation of the Twilight saga:
I believe that this Twilight stuff is typically racist.
The author is a member of a religious cult based on the funniest of stories.
There are no African-Americans featured in either of the films so far.
Celibacy, apart from nipples, is shown as the only way to express affection.
Vampires are the latest cool.
As one who was brought up as a catholic, who lost his faith and has questioned and studied every religion and belief, and also studied most occult beliefs and traditions, I need to ask one thing:
Why is the Twilight series of films and books turning normally rebelious teenagers into conformist, obsessive freaks?
When I was a teenager I rebelled against everything. There was nothing I didn't rebel against.
Now, every teenager is united in fawning to some mediocre vampire "literature" written by a middle-aged, frumpy god-freak!
Oh shit, we rebelled for nothing!
