If they wanted to make a series of films with dialogue that doesn't have all the aural graces of a farting kitten, they SHOULD have gone with this. It would take someone genuinly stupid to get more wrong then the current movies. And you're really not stupid. I look forward to it.:awesome:

Hah, ha, nice idea 3rd. I must say though, Substeiners one is ace. An obvious idea, elevated to a near legendary status by the sheer quality of the actual shop.

Oh gawd, I hate lost. Matt Damon's OK, but he'll never fill Shatner's side-pressed flares. I honest;y don't want anymre Kirk. I'd like to see a new 'Trek crew, but this time with a captain or officers who are maybe a bit broken or flawed. Think Hugh Laurie's character from House at the helm and you're halfway there.

Much cooler here and not too humid due to a massive thunderstorm in the area clearing things out, but the sun still managed to burn straight through he clouds. I'd like some rain before it gets hot again next week.

Samuel Jackson sells his new beer!

Actually, I reckon you'd look great if you went at it with a fro-comb. I really would like to see that.

I can assure you I was thinking about Evangelion purely in terms of a sci-fi show. Animated or live, it's all the same to me. Some people obviously like it and some don't, it does seem to be one of these marmite things. And yes, Quantum leap is very definitly a sci-fi show. It's time travel for petes sake.

I've never got Evangelion. Big Robots are all very well, but I always thought the characters were rather flat and as a result it doesn't keep it together when things get really weird.

Nothing special. Messy. Calm. Like me, or so I like to think.

I think you're mis-analysing the sci-fi genre. You metioned that it has science from a fictional future. Well there you have it. It's a Science-Fiction show. The fictional technology featured may not always play as big a part as say, Star Trek, but it is still a sci-fi show. That's not to say there aren't shows, games or movies that straddle such a line between what can be considered "Sci-Fi" and what is just "futuristic drama", but in my opinion there is no distinction. I'm not sure what you mean about the "philosphy" of Sci-fi. I have never actually seen anything philsophical that can be considered exclusive to sci-fi. In Star Trek all the philosphy is usual based around some kind of political or diplomatic drama, or sometimes some great, fantastical discovery. The Matrix delves very effectively into senses of state and perceptions of exsistence, but this is a concept which has been discussed since long before some baked Dutch guy observed that he thought, and therefore he was. Battlestar Galactica is, first and foremost, an American politcal millitary drama, albeit with the part of the Communists played by robots. Ultimately I believe that Sci-Fi is just the fantasy genre with bleeping lights, the mystic realms and spirit plains derived from Celtic myth replaced with holodecks and nebulas, and even then those continue to appear to give folks like Capt. Picard and the SG-1 team another bad day. Going back to Cowboy Bebop, there's more than enough computer hackery, stargates, combat drugs, blackholes and weird and wonderful spaceships floating around to justify the science part of it. When religous leaders start popping out of TVs, mystic Zen finding long lost fathers and disused spy satalites start feeling lonely, well, there's the fiction, or more accurately, the fantasy. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" - Clarke's Third Law.

Yeah, that's a fair comment. It's what I like to call the Bruckheimer motive. "Why is all this crap blowing up?" "I dunno, does it matter?" The series is brilliant though, it's eccentric characters and constant oscilation between drama, comedy and action actually gives it some similarity with Doctor Who more than anything else.

I didn't like Enterprise. It just didn't deliever what it promised, and I thought the charcaters were a little dull, in my opinion at least.

Latest BBC Weather Report: Temperatures will drop a couple to average around 22-25c across the UK only for the hummidity to increase considerably on Thursday, accompanied with some thundery showers. Expect the temperature to shoot straight back up again at the beginning of next week. Final Analysis - Feeling sweaty? You ain't felt anything yet bitch.

No Cowboy Bebop love from anyone here? Also Blade Runner and Alien. Ridley Scott is a bitching director. Also Xfiles. ALSO: The Last Starfighter and Batteries Not Included. Gawd, I adore those films. PS. Does Back to the Future count?

Tell me about it. It so hot at night I can hardly breathe.

The way languages are taught here in schools in the UK is appaling, especially compared to the rest of Europe. I always find it embarrasing when I hear tourists speaking German, French, Spanish or something, and then being able to turn around and speak good English, while I can't understand a word they say to each other.

The sexiest stick man yet devised by man. 8/10.

BBC Weather: Max - 29c Min - 19c I'll wager it's hotter then that though. Apparently it's set to drop to 22c tommorow - I certainly hope so. I wanna go swimming but it's too hot to go out.

I heard about this. Apparently Romero was pretty eager to do the Resi movie because he had always admired the soap-opera monster drama of the games, and though it was a good play on the traditional undead theme. They threw him off because he refused to compromise so the film would be sure of getting a low enough age rating for the executives. Cos' all us gamers are 13 years old, and simply making a good film just isn't enough anymore. EDIT: Scanning through, I must say I'm really quite enjoying the scene at the farmhouse. It actually relates to the creepy, desperate atmosphere of the series quite well.

All the characters have expressions like mental asylum escapees on crack.

That's what I thought, but then they did actually, accidentally, burn down someones brand new £1million car wash. Burning down a pair of caravans would seem to be on par.

Votey! 1st - Dabookerman - Saucy Superman - For pure lolness. 2nd - Shino - Scary Wall-Alien Sarka - It gives me nightmares. 3rd - Meik - "The Scream" - An ingenious fit. Well thought of. Notable others - Sarka-Kirby, Scooby-Doo, Sarka Pez despenser, Brian Blessed, the green-dude from Ghostbusters, Passion of the Sarka, Chest-burster Sarka and Goldmember. Good work from absolutely everyone.

I desperetly need to do more exercise. Help me sleep and get me fit again. Some people let it all go and get fat. I let it all go and get weak and thin.

I'm worried about any kind of international intervention, but until someone comes up with something better, UN intervention could be the only way. The open killing of civillians needs to stop, and hopefully bith sides will recognise an intervening multi-lateral force as a chance to open negotiations. I doubt either side would be prepared to attack UN troops. I'll wager the British carrier group isn't just there purely for rescuing British and foreign nationals.
