I watched a documentary on Galaxy Quest last week, I knew it had it's fans but not the cult status it seems to have gained recently. I think it's a great movie but watching a group of fans cosplay as the aliens who refused to break character walking around like a bunch of autistic penguins was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen.Galaxy Quest and Spaceballs are as good as any actual Star Trek and Star Wars films.
True, I do remember that family cosplaying as the Thermians lol. I mean, people get into what they get into. But it doesn't detract from how great the flick is.I watched a documentary on Galaxy Quest last week, I knew it had it's fans but not the cult status it seems to have gained recently.

Also Sigourney Weaver be looking fine in it. That cleavage.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But I'm sure it would have doubled the cost of whatever they spent. I mean, I'm assuming it costs money to do deap fake shit, but I don't really know. And some of the voice clips were questionable for the material. But overall, I liked it.Shoulda used Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, and/or Julie Newmar instead of Kravitz.
Would've been hilarious to just use all three ladies interchangeably and have Batman give no visible reaction, just like the old show and movie.Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

That would be great. Maybe they still will, if they think of it or someone suggests it. Since it's just a homemade project, they can Lucas it anytime they want.Would've been hilarious to just use all three ladies interchangeably and have Batman give no visible reaction, just like the old show and movie.

Good Star Wars and Star Trek movies in no order:Yeah but that’s not saying much. You have a pretty low bar in the first place. And Star Wars may have more good movies than Star Trek.
nopeRogue One
nopeFirst Contact
tf is wrong with you?The Search for Spock
I love this one. It's feels very "eating bagel pizza on the couch on a sick day made for TV movie" but it's kinda better because of that.The Dead Zone- I was somehow oblivious to the fact that this was directed by David Cronenberg, that was a nice surprise. I haven't read the Stephen King story but this certainly stands on it's own and even though I'd seen it before it's been since the late 90's and I'd forgotten most of it so it was nice to watch it going in mostly fresh. The movie is excellent, Christopher Walken is perfectly cast, the pacing is good and it's a nice focused story. It's fairly bland looking which is a trademark of Cronenberg's earlier movies (outside of the special effects) but the style serves the story well enough. Martin Sheen is also fantastic as the shitbag politician and it's funny to think he went on to play the president for all those years on The West Wing.
Highly recommend.
They introduced the Borg Queen in First Contact so there would be someone for the other Star Trek characters to interact with. It was for dramatic (story) reasons.First Contact effectively changed the entire nature of the Borg from a collective to a hive.
The Borg Queen is one of the dumbest things ever added to Star Trek.
So dumb.
The Borg collective was far scarier than the Borg hive. Now they’re just stupid insects controlled by an overlord, before they were something else - something which entirely erased the individual and made him part of a greater whole. Now they’re slave robots. The idea that entire species was one - and communicated and thought as such is a lot cooler than a hive/overmind.
I’m sure there is some dumbass retcon lore about the Queen and how she is only an avatar of the collective itself, but that’s bullshit and I’m pretty sure they refer to the Borg now as a hive.
BORING.
Dude. I know right. Holy shit. Every joe has its day, I guess. Took him 15 years though..that’s the most lucid post you have ever made. I bumped the Star Trek thread so as to not derail this thread further.
