Jesus Christ, I never thought I would see that name on the CIC!!!
And Louis de Funès!!! Where are you from, Cadfael? You must be european... Even Bud Spencer and Terence Hill: THEY'RE ITALIAN!!!
Well Louis de Funès is French, but hey...
I remember watching lots of his movies in France... Hibernatus, Le Gendarme à St-Tropez...
Best one apparently is Oscar or Rabbi Jacob, never had a chance to watch them though...

I can't say I've seen the version with monologues, SW, though I can see how they would have added to the general film-noir concept. But as for the idea of Deckard being a replicant, I thought it was very appropriate for the film. If you think that this removes depth from the movie, then there's something very wrong with you. And the ending was just perfect - you could believe in either possibility. In other words, it made you think - which is what a Sci-fi movie should do. You want a blatantly happy icecream and balloons ending? Fine, go watch an action flick. Also, I don't know what Phil Dick had planned, but as far as I know he had nothing to do with the script.
And yeah, I didn't bother with the German soundtrack on Das Boot. I wouldn't have understood it, and watching it with subtitles would have detracted from the experience.

Hey! Independance Day is one of my favorite movies. I don't care if a movie has an intelligent plot that makes me think about my existance. If it's entertaining, I like it. I don't really read into movies for more than they're worth. I never saw ID4 as being a way to be patriotic or whatever, it was an alien invasion movie. That's it.

aghh..another post from the Ladiesman...
Actually, I like when a dark, drab Sci-fi movie has a happy ending. Not ALL the time, but it's good every now and then.
I think that's why I like Star Trek so much. It's not like just about EVERY other sci-fi universe out there. The future isn't some terrible place that's a torture to live in. It's a positive look at the future.
Even WC is a terrible terrible place. Locked in war for (geez, how long was it all combined; Pilgrimm, Kilrathi, BW incident Nephilim?)
I actually wish there were more positive views on the future. It seems that we're just doomed no matter what we do.

The DVDs I watch and would have bought, if my father hadn't already done it: Mad Max 2 and 3, looking for part 1
Gladiator, The 13th warrior, Matrix, Blade Runner (Director'sCut)and Wing Commander.
Then some others bought by my father, but they are not my taste. It's a pity, that DVDs are still a bit expensive but I try to fill my ranks with more DVDs. I have to get Starship Troopers on DVD!

ID4? Where does the 4 come from?
I'm not saying that a movie has to have a sophisticated plot in order to be good - come on, I like Wing Commander - but it has to have a certain level of intelligence. Independence Day didn't have intelligence - I find it hard to believe that a nation which, in a severe crisis, still only uses one half of the road (in spite of the fact that there ain't nobody going into the city), is capable of defeating an alien race

Another reply from Quarto. I was too lazy to cut and paste it all into one post
.But that sort of junk is useless - what's the point of creating a positive future scenario? Apart from deluding yourself, you really achieve nothing.
Ah, but those gloom-and-doom scenarios are there to warn us about possible problems, and allow us to avoid them. Perfect example - "Y2K". If everybody had been under the impression that switching to the year 00 won't cause any problems... then there would have been major problems. Because although Y2K was a lot of hype, it also contained a lot of truth. So you see, it's actually watching Star Trek that dooms us
.Returning to Blade Runner, anybody who watched it when it first came out might have thought, "corporations in control of the world? What utter bullshit!". But look around - it's disturbing how close we've gotten to that vision.
True, for the most part. The only book I've read where the movie ended up being better is Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Still a good book, though.
David Mammet(sp?) and the other writers changed the ending of the movie-version of Hannibal, actually. But if you mean what happens to poor Mr. Krendler, then that's definitely in there.
Oh, why didn't you like Gladiator? I love that movie. Not historically accurate, but cool nonetheless.
Hey, shut up! My country can beat up your country!
Oh, and the 4 comes from July 4th. So: Independence Day,4. Hey, I agree that's lame, but I wasn't in charge of 20th Century Fox marketing.
Were you always that pessimistic?

Hmm... I haven't read Das Boot, but I simply can't imagine anything being better than that movie
.No, I'm an optimist. But I firmly believe that anybody who thinks the future will be all happy-icecream-and-balloons needs to pull his/her head out of... err, that place where the sun don't shine

I don't understand why everybody rants about how great or how horrible or how stupid Star Trek's amazing hopefull future is. Do these people *watch* Star Trek? The Federation always seems to be involved in some horrific war or another...

Didn't Star Trek start off with the Federation at war with the Klingons and Romulans? At least, they were constantly fighting. And I'm pretty sure they fought the Klingons in DS9... and the Borg all the time.
Ghost
Emperor
Well, they are at war but in the chapter they show little fights the only grat wars showed where against the borg (the best of both worlds 1 y 2) and the dominion wars....
but this is after the dead of Rodenberry, he don´t want wars ins star trek, because of this ib the first seassons of TNG isn´t any war

Ghost: I've read and enjoyed all the Dune books (from Dune to Chapterhouse, and even the Prelude to Dune books) and I still enjoy the movie.
I also enjoy the 2000 mini-series, but it did get a tad boring at some points and the desert sets were absolutely horrible. Hopefully John Harrison will film in the actual desert for his proposed Dune Messiah mini-series.
LOAF: Yeah, the UFP was at war with the Romulans and Klingons during TOS, but it wasn't as big, elaborate, or important as DS9's Dominion War. It was more like little skirmishes every now and then, before Praxis blew up and they had to become friends.
As for the Klingons vs. UFP in DS9... I think that was because Chancellor Gowron had been replaced with a Changeling (hey, that's a song by The Doors!).
