gunga galunga: Also, I gave up on BSG because I just got sick to death of every other word being "frack". If you're going to use faux profanity, use it sparingly. Too much and it sounds farking ridiculous.

I, too, was annoyed by this. But I was also annoyed at the horrible pacing of BSG and just couldn't get into it.

mjbok: gunga galunga: How dare you! Serentity was the greatest work of science fiction in motion picture history!

/actually, I've never even seen an episode of Firefly

Yes, it managed to disappoint both fans (by killing off a beloved character) and newbs (none of the characters meant anything to someone not already familiar with them).

Yep, it sucked that Book died.

SuperChuck: Sarcastica75: he can cuminmysnatch with as many lensflares as he wants.

You get points for taking his last name to parody rather than Benedict, which would have been too easy.

I seriously love him. Sherlock is excellent, imo, and I'm just getting to finally see the latest episode, which aired on New Year's Day. :D

gshepnyc: WaltzingMathilda: 90% of you people didn't know what lens flare was before the movie, didn't notice it when you saw the movie, but later jumped on the geek bandwagon when you saw it as a criticism of the movie because you were looking for a reason to hate it.

That's idiotic. How could anyone NOT notice it while watching the movie? How? People might not have known what to call it at first, but they noticed it. I had no idea what it was called but one of my best friends works in movies and he told me. Not being blind and having seen any number of motion pictures before, I still saw it and was annoyed by it before I knew the name of it.

my point was they didn't "notice" it as in they didn't notice it as something to get all "LOL STOOPID MOVIE" about it. maybe you did. i didn't say 100%.

That maybe but I sure knew what riding Jar Jar Abrams's cock was when I saw it.

not if you are referring to my comment as somehow being pro JJ Abrams. the movie was enjoyable, but i haven't watched it since. LOST i would watch over and over. Fringe, i don't care about, and didn't like it much. given the variety in my reactions to Abrams, i'm hardly his biggest defender.

my point is that it's a dumb thing to trash it over. i made this point yesterday ... you people flip out over lens flare, but your beloved franchise had time traveling whales. at that point, i say anything is fair game and completely acceptable.

Aarontology: Wow. He looks exactly how I expect a guy named Benedict Cumberbatch to look.

Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch. Doesnt get much more british than that. Maybe if he were "the third" or something.


kungfu jesus with a side of lime: as long as it doesnt get in the way of more episodes of sherlock

Hard to do with 3 a year...

I understand Firefly has the same gorram problem.

You may be thinking of Farscape, thats not really a thing on Firefly. But it wasnt annoying on Farscape like it was on BSG. And TBH i like Farscape better than Firefly or BSG, buf if youve never seen Firefly you should watch it. And then watch Farscape.

Add me to the list of people who knew the term 'lens flare' and thought there were too many in Super 8 when I saw it.

In Trek is just looked like he was going for a 'future's so bright you gotta wear shades' vibe, so it worked for me there. But in dusty, 70's Ohio - espeically in the nighttime scenes - there was no reason for them. When the space ship arrived it was cool, but in an empty train station at night felt like a weird place for them. It made them highly distracting.

Still good movies, though.

Critch: Lotta people upset that their fan fiction wasn't the latest movie.

actually, JJ contacted me about including my spock/draco malfoy short story in the new movie but the whole thing fell apart when he refused to shoot it as graphically as the scene deserved. i'm not going to compromise my vision for that prick. f*ck you lens flare abrams.

Nuh-uh.. always watch Farscape first, because it's Far (heh) superior.

I think what he was trying to do was not ruin Firefly. Because once you watch Farscape, Firefly is going to seem awfully lame. Plus, there's more than 8 episodes.

Not "awfully lame" but yeah, thats what sorta what i was thinking, 12 and a half hours of Ff + Serenity vs 70 and a half* of Farscape + PKW.

JJ can do whatever the hell he wants. He's not getting one thin dime of my money. Ever.

/even if it features a planet of hot lesbians

Megasmilax: Well, glad it's not going to be Khan. Figure with his look, either Romulans or Cardassians perhaps, if Abrams really wants to show that he'll change something?

I'd wager it would be Romulan to fit the severe facial angularity.
