OT: A subject that must be discussed(Vanity)

Did anybody watch that horrible horrible miniseries called Meteor?

Never in my life watching B rated made for TV movies have I seen one so bad. The entire script must have been two pages and to make it stretch into a 4 hour movie they just redid those two pages over and over and over again.

Let's not forget the total ignorance of the laws of physics or the fact that they blew a 30 mile round meteor out of the sky when it was just out of our atmosphere. And then a second meteor had entered our atmosphere and they deflect it back out of the atmosphere.

I don't know if I am now less smart for having watched that series or not. But at least the chic scientist who kept getting kidnapped, held at gunpoint, seeing her chief scientist, chief border patrol agent, etc die was good looking enough to keep me at least half way tuned into the show.

Good guess, actually the script was a half page but we won't hold it against you.

I actually just marathoned Firefly and Serenity the weekend before last.

Best series ever, to bad it got cut off.

[Kitsunebi]

ever seem Molly Ringwald’s first film?? Its really bad.... baaaaaadd... Spacehunter! (3-d) ha

Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983)

Hey don't knock it...I LOVED that film!

[aft_lizard]

I haven’t. If it’s the good kind of bad I am all for it. Like Robinson Crusoe on Mars, it’s bad in a good way.

oh man... lol..

I can’t seem to find “Misfits of Science” anywhere online... it was canceled after about 5 or 6 episodes

OT? it’s amazing a subject that cannot be described must be somehow discussed. What the heck is “OT?”

Geeez.

[aft_lizard]

OT=Off Topic.
It’s something the mods at rivals.com makes us use when we make a topic that has nothing to do with the board.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars, what a great film!

You mean you didn’t appreciate George Castanza as a scientist???

[aft_lizard]

More believable as a marine biologist.

Ah. Inside baseball from another forum.. Pray proceed without me.

If you’re a Nathan Fillion fan, try Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. Also I enjoyed his new series Castle.

Its free on Crackle.

I saw Armageddon which, while it had undeniably better special effects had to suck every bit as much.

[LeavingNewYork]

Great minds think alike. I think it begins with Alabama vs VTech at the Ga. Dome.

[aft_lizard]

Armegeddon is Oscar quality compared to this movie, in my opinion.

[Kitsunebi]

Of course I draw the line at Killer Klowns from Outer Space. That, my FRiends, is a bad B movie. Hopefully the Chiodos Brothers will never make a sequel.

*shudder*

[GeronL]

Was it Armageddon or Space Cowboys? or maybe Space Trucker or whatever that older movie was called?
