    Props for featuring Ultraman. I rented the entire original series from Netflix (old DVD set) and I was surprised how much fun I had. I actually had watched the English dub on TV as a wee tot, and for the DVDs I watched with Japanese audio and subtitles. Since the dub was a pretty faithful translation, the stories were familiar. And as an adult I know that in the episode where Ultraman fights what looks like Godzilla, it actually IS the Godzilla suit (so ... I guess it's a cameo? :)

    I've mentioned on here a few weeks ago that I'd be willing to add more straight sci-fi to my Netflix Horror, Exploit, and Cult cinema new release lists if you guys were going to use them, but never go an answer. I'll throw the idea out there again just in case.

    As it stands, I've carried those list out to Nov. As titles are added to the NF database, I'll add them. just click to see what's doin': [www.netflix.com]

    Even if Fox changes their mind about Sarah Connor Chronicles, it can't be made.

    Summer Glau is doing Dollhouse, and Lena Headey has been cast for the HBO adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire (as Cersei Lannister, HELL YES).

    It's not so much that I try to block out Insurrection as I just . . . forget about it. First Contact was a blast, Nemesis was a train wreck, Insurrection was 103 minutes.

    @MrTim: I don't even remember the story of Insurrection or Nemesis, apart from the fact that they were both boring and that the vilain in Nemesis was a lame clone of Picard. I already have Khan, Voyage Home, Search for Spock and First Contact. I don,t need any other Trek movie except maybe for the first one.

    @collex: I've only watched each of them once, but I maintain that Insurrection is nowhere near the frnachise-destroying abomination that Nemesis was. Insurrection wasn't that that good, mind you, but it actually had some humanity and decent writing and direction.

    Nemesis was criminally awful on all levels.

    Uh ... the blue blob Bob is *also* a classic movie monster-inspired character. You know, the Blob?

    ? It creeps? It leaps? It glides and slides? That one? So, um ... what's the problem?

    @capnrob: THANK YOU.


    Bob was blue instead of red, but he was just as classic-inspired as the others, with even less of a name change!


    I think it's going to be toughest to replace Hugh Laurie's voicing of Dr. Cockroach PhD.

    I just saw the movie about less than an hour ago and it was great!!
    What kinda sucked was that I was sitting close to the screen and the 3-D was ok..... It was still pretty great. I just wished people would STOP TXTING at a movie theatre!!!! Geez you're there to watch a movie not to be txting your friends about watching a movie!

    Not funny, not close to Pixar quality, or even Fuck You Panda. A big disappointment.

    considering how generic the plot, characters, witting, and generally everything about this flick it was very fun due largely to the variety and depth of the voice acting cast. this was probably the first real 3D film i've seen (previous screened: Coraline, Bolt) where the 3D felt like more than just a high tech vaniere. when you're dealing with giant insects, robots, and women the 3D really gives the viewer a more tactile feeling how how big everything. without it i'd still watch the film but i would not be inclined to pay for it.
