SciFi on Michael Doornbos

So about Star Wars...

Tue, 26 Jul 2016 14:54:34 +0000

I’m jumping off of the Star Wars bandwagon.

I don’t want to see 28 other story lines in this universe. I don’t want Han Solo’s back story movies. I don’t need explanations of how the force works, or why the Rogue squadron was so important.

I do understand that I may have to turn in my geek card but that’s a consequence I’m willing to bear.

I’m in the camp that there are 3 Star Wars movies. Two really really great ones, and one that lost it’s way trying to sell toys. They have not been edited from the theatrical versions.

George continues to infuriate me

I can’t watch the new and “improved” versions of the original 3 Star Wars movies without wanting to throw something. Why George Lucas? why?

Did you just not get what made these movies great? What were you thinking when you decided to add crappy CGI all over the place?

Arg!

I just bought the blu-ray set, and I concur. I really didn’t think I would be so bothered by the updates, but there is something so incredibly jarring about seeing CGI’ed versions of the classic animatronics (or worse: seeing both juxtaposed).

Some thoughts on Dollhouse

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:47:53 +0000

There is a new series on Fox called Dollhouse which I’ve been watching(at least the first two episodes). An organization keeps programmable humans that you can have customized for any purpose and “rent” for a large fee for whatever you want. The idea is pretty interesting. As with most Sci Fi shows, the audience is expected to be largely male, so the main character, Echo, played by Eliza Dushku is overtly sexual. Once the boobie fixation dies down, the premise of the show is potentially pretty interesting. Each show has the opportunity to tell a completely different story, and then there is a long term tie in where the programmable people will almost certainly start remembering things.
