It's not all about replicants, Terminators, and galaxies far, far away.

You’ve never seen ET?

Ready Player One

‘...”John Carter” is worth a look.’

I liked it. A combination of 3 of EGB’s Barsoomian books. How did you think it compared to “A Princess of Mars”, a lower budget film released about the same time, which stayed closer to the original (1912?) book.

I liked it. Especially the dolphins.

Hello, Mr Negative and Mr. “Crap on a thread” troll.

Yikes!

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Close Encounters of the Third Kind, was not, has never been and will never be, underrated.

Big thumbs up on “Frequency”, though part of my enthusiasm was that I recognized the old Heathkit Tranceiver they used in the movie. Similar to the ones I built with my older brother back in the day. Also, the baseball tie-in didn’t hurt for me.

Too bad that the TV series they did a few years ago based on the movie got too PC to be worth watching after an episode or two.

“The Final Countdown” Kirk Douglas 1980

I totally agree! I just watched it again a couple of days ago.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Perhaps I’ll try again.

Moon

Great movie.

“Idiocracy?”

That wasn't sci-fi. That was a future documentary!

[RandallFlagg]

That’s the one with the giant three legged stompy robot, isn’t it?
Haven’t seen that since I was a kid.

If we all liked the same things, what a boring place this world would be.

I weary of people trying to tell me how good 2010 was. I had a nearly identical conversation at work last week.

Some folks like 2010. I most emphatically do not, and consider it of a similar cinematic significance to such works as Manos: The Hands of Fate, or Gigli, or Battlefield Earth.

Unadulterated UGH!

JMHO, YMMV...

[marajade]

Got it.

[dfwgator]

I’m not even so sure about the future part.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Perhaps I’ll try again.

You need to work on your interpersonal skills, eh?

Well, “Idiocracy” was made in 2006. The future part came less than 10 years later, though.

Sort of like “1984”. Orwell missed the mark by maybe 20 years, if that. Today’s media definitely works in “Newspeak” all the time.
