The Movie Thread

  1. There's a lot more to sci fi than special effects. And the special effects in forbidden planet , from the 50's !!!!!! still hold up.

    Get serious.

    I mean .if you want to make a fool of your self, and say there was no good sci fi before 1970 , I won't stop you. Here, I'll even crown you.

  2. i stand by my previous statement. some people like "the planet of the apes" and some don't.

    also before ~ late 60s the Hollywood was not up the speed so there are very few good movies from that time, not just sci-fi. eventually, the Hollywood lost its edge so there are very few good movies produced nowadays.

    recently i watched "Moon" (2009), a sci-fi movie with Sam Rockwell. no surprise there: it is a piece of garbage. don't waste your time on it.
