Thanks =) and I'll check that video out when I am back home (Wednesday night) and have a better computer.

The music, I though people mentioned in the comments. Something from Battlestar Galactica I think. You could also ask NetRunner (my hubby), I am pretty sure he knows what it is , or where it is from =)

I love "Saturn V rocket launch". Have you seen the ultra-slow motion shot of a match being lit in Bronowski's Ascent of Man?

Please, please, tell me: what is the music in the Saturn vid?

Tags for this video have been changed from 'hour, cbc, Katee Sackhoff, Battlestar Galactica, George Stroumboulopoulos' to 'hour, cbc, Katee Sackhoff, Starbuck, Battlestar Galactica, George Stroumboulopoulos' - edited by calvados

It seems like TV has had some good sci-fi series in the past decade; (Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, to name a few). But really it takes another Kubrick, Hitchcock, or Speilberg. Someone who is a master of their directing element. There just isn't a good Sci-fi director out there right now.

Plus the Sci-fi era of film has ended. Heck in the 70's and 80's there were countless numbers of sci-fi 'B' movies. Out of the many there were a few gems. But now days sci-fi is passe, and the only directors that will take it on are the ones who have producers with deep pockets and an endless supply of crappy scripts.

Here is my prediction for the next crappy sci-fi:

Klingon vs. Wookiee. It's like AVP except more explosions.

The music selection appears to be "Baltar's Dream" as well as "Roslin and Adama" from Battlestar Galactica season two. Songs are by Bear McCreary.

Fixed and thanks.

etc.etc....But the discussion - is there anything to discuss with a bunch of pigs? No. Form intelligent discussion, please.

I believe you may be confusing irreverent, ironic humor with sexism.
Frankie says relax.



Anyway, it isn't true at all that there are few movies with female leads. There are loads of them... they just are often geared toward women and men have little interest in their subject matter, so we don't go and see them. Removing half the entire potential viewer-base will sink most movies.
Action movies tend to focus on male main characters more than female, at least in the past. They're shifting toward more balance these days since a badass woman can be ... awesome. Action movies were/are geared toward male viewers and thus have male leads. Men tend to watch more movies than women in general so movies geared toward men [or toward both men and women, or neither] tend to be blockbusters. In addition, men are by definition, in general masculine. When a woman takes a lead role in an action film (with marvel as one of many exceptions), she is typically masculinized (if that were a word) to fit the requirements of the role. The Alien series is an exception and an example of this. The first two movies essentially show her as a feminine, but resourceful woman. The fourth? Yep, she's a man. I don't acknowledge the existence of the third.

Anyway, if you haven't seen a movie with a female lead, you're not watching any movies. There are TONS of strong female characters in countless movies. Perhaps you're choosing the wrong ones. Try the Alien series, X-men, the Fantastic Four, The Incredibles... All "action movies," all with strong female leads.

On TV: Heroes, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, 30 Rock, Stargate/Stargate Atlantis, Firefly, EVERY Star Trek series except the first one, Babylon 5... ... ... ...........
This list would get longer than I have energy to type; you get the picture.

All these are shows with STRONG female characters in leading roles. It may be that men say [amongst other things] that they're hot, but heck, so what. If we weren't attracted to women, it'd be the freakin end of the species.

In all fairness, Battlestar Galactica came first.

Someone should tell NBC that promos aren't supposed to put people to sleep.

Oh, and that they should've fucking put Battlestar Galactica on their main network 4 years ago.

Well I'm a VERY stiff, formal, humorless prick. Even this dude told me to lighten up.

So call it.

Actually that's more formal / French-from-France. In Quebec you'd say "bienvenue"

Campbell Lane, the guy who voiced the Bentusi, also appeared in Battlestar Galactica: Razor as the First Hybrid.

I hadn't heard of this speech until I heard the nearly identical one that Tyrol made in Battlestar Galactica (apparently with the blessing of Mario Savio's widow).

I must have grabbed the wrong link; anyway, this is what I wanted to quote:
