I can't even list my expectations and hopes for this title.

After the inglorious fuckup that was Rogue Warrior pretty much the whole reputation of Rebellion as a studio rests on the success of this game;
also, there is rumor (which makes sense) that the fate of Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines which is supposedly finally due this year and is also published by SEGA will be sealed by the results of AvP; and I can't even begin to describe how much it would suck if a Gearbox project which was penned by Battlestar Galactica writers was canceled.

At least so far the promotional stuff looks promising. Here's hoping the end result won't disappoint.

Yeah, Event Horizon does the sci fi horror damn well. The problem with the way sunshine does it, is that it tries to be something different and then sorta falls back on blood and gore. That's sorta my main gripe with battlestar galactica, it tried really hard to be a story about people with realistic sci-fi, and then suddenly veers off and becomes something completely different.

Event Horizon is a sci-fi horror flick and it knows it. The same way Lost is supernatural, where it doesn't feel bad the way it does in BSG.

Event Horizon's idea of hell reminds me a lot of Warhammer 40k, with living ships and chaos and so on.

Event Horizon is pure badace. I saw it originally on a humongous screen with a bass system so loud the seats shook when the asteroid at the beginning passes in front of the camera.

The spinning shot of Daylight Station actually gave me a sense of vertigo.. then the scary parts eventually came.

Then I got to go home to my little cabin like home in an area that had no street lights, and my roommate was out of town.

Very few movies get under my skin, that one did.. big time. I cry a little inside whenever I hear a fellow geek bash that movie.

...oh and I love the little connections to Hellraiser.

I liked this movie apart from the last part, where it goes all slasher/horror, which is at odds with the rest of it, I think.

In related news, Event Horizon is the most awesomest spacy scifi slasher horror movie ever made! (Apart from alien.)

I don't think debt collector is a very good occupation during an "end of the world" scenario.

Good thinking. Oh wait, the US goverment already thought of that.

But he still collected from the Cylons!

SGU is still on probation in the NetRunner household. I'm still waiting for them to come up with a theme other than survival. For example, give us some antagonists, or at least some compelling potential benefit from discovering the ship.

I also liked the initial offering of V. I'm curious how many episodes it will take before the teabaggers start carrying reptilian Obama signs.

I've also been watching FlashForward. I loved the novel, and the series is definitely taking a very different direction than the novel (the Flashforward in the novel was a freak accident, not part of a shadowy plot).

I'm looking forward to the Prisoner remake that's coming in a couple weeks.

As much as I like all this new/remake Scifi, I do find myself craving a nice, predictable, upbeat Star Trek series. Everyone wants to be the new Battlestar Galactica, but no one seems to be going for that simple morality play format that Roddenberry pioneered.

I'm getting sick of antiheroes in my sci-fi.

Fixked, thanks for the note.

*dead

The Wire
Deadwood
Six Feet Under

in that order.


Then
Battlestar Galactica
Dexter
True Blood

in that order.


Trust me, your girl will enjoy the shit out of True Blood and BSG.

Toss up between Six Feet Under and Battlestar Galactica. Follow them with Dexter and True Blood. As for thinking your girlfriend wouldn't enjoy the latter 3, don't be so sure.

Venture Bros. It's good for laughs, not really a big drama though.

West Wing is a "talker", so you have to be into that. But it's much like House, but in the White House. I like it.

House MD is awesomely awesome.

The IT Crowd - British sit-com about IT workers. It's very British and very funny.

I thought Deadwood was alright, but it's a "hard" series. Lots of grim stuff happens there. They swear like dock workers with ball-cancer.

Battlestar Galactica is really good until the resolution of the series which just ruins the show. Don't watch that.

I've always felt the reason "cutting edge" CGI never feels photo-real is because of the perfection of the camera work. The movies and shows that take the extra time to "humanize" the camerawork --District 9, new Battlestar Galactica-- end up looking "photo-real" with less resolution.

I liked both the first and the second. I think the third was sort of a let-down. Sure it was even more of an action movie than the others, but they don't really explain anything or give anything any sufficient meaning. I do still like all three though.

I think the worst aspect of this phenomena happened to me with Battlestar Galactica. The final episode ruined the whole BSG universe for me and made it lame, so much that I'm not interested in whatever else is being made in that universe. Which is a shame really, because it was really good up until that last piece of shit.

Oh man, I'd really love to see this, if only it weren't for the fact that Battlestar Galactica DIED in the last episode. It died a horrible death and what's happening now is just beating the dead horse.

Just go away, already.

Can we install it on our TVs to make "shaky-cam" bullshit shows like Battlestar Galactica more watchable?

My hobbies include: watching battlestar galactica, listening to heavy metal music, and cruising around in a shopping trolley at 45 miles an hour.
