I mean, first of all, all the shows are cancelled. Second of all, the first series is "pretty good" i.e. on the level of Star Trek. I was a lifelong trekkie and finally gave SG-1 a shot a few years back. Couldn't believe how wrong I was about it.

GimpChimp posted:Pretty sure bloggers can self-submit and there doesn't seem to be a threshold for notability. I recommend hitting the Top Critics button, although that still includes NYP or whoever. Metacritic's score may be a better measure of reviews from notable critics. They select only from the big names and weigh them in some undisclosed manner. I'd prefer more transparency about how they do it but at least they're not drawing from nobodies.

There's no Stargate show currently running? I have a friend who talks incessantly about them as though there's new episodes still being put out. Strange.

SG:Universe was cancelled 5 years ago. But there's 17 seasons between the 3 shows, so anyone who wants to make their way through all of it is going to be doing so for awhile.

I liked the Groundhog Day episode where they used the Stargate to golf. More shows need Groundhog Day episodes.

The Groundhog Day episode in The X-Files ('Monday') is also great. The lesson is that every show should do a time loop episode.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:The Crow.. the message is really weird and unpleasant if you stop to think about it I might be getting the movie and the comic conflated, but isn't the message of The Crow that revenge is ultimately pretty empty and doesn't actually help grief? e: also, Dr. Phil is the new Hard Copy in all but name.

LORD OF BUTT posted:I might be getting the movie and the comic conflated, but isn't the message of The Crow that revenge is ultimately pretty empty and doesn't actually help grief? I've never read the comic, but the movie pretty consistently portrays Eric's revenge as righteous and heroic and then at the very end after all the bad guys are dead he gets re-united with Shelley in the afterlife. He's also held up as a moral guide to Sarah and others even while he's in the middle of pursuing his vendetta. I mean, maybe you could make an argument for it on the grounds that the whole story is told from Sarah's point of view and she's kinda hosed up herself? But I think the natural reading of the film is "revenge is awesome, but don't do drugs, kids!"

True, but more often than not, so much time and money and effort is spent on reviving these things, only for the target audience to realize "Hey, waitaminute. Now that I think about it, this stuff was pretty terrible to begin with." Obviously, there are a lot crazy successes on Kickstarter/GoFundMe, but with many products, nostalgia only goes so far.

Steve2911 posted:Independence Day is a bad film made by bad men and enjoyed by bad men. axleblaze posted:ID4 is a terrible terrible movie and manages to be so on an impressive amount of levels. I can't imagine a sequel being anything but even worse. Like Skyline but stripped of all the things that make Skyline arguably interesting. Uncle Boogeyman posted:Independence Day is basically just one of those old school Towering Inferno style disaster movies, but with aliens, and not as good as that implies. I feel like I'm being a jerkass making a "Gotcha!" post, but these kind of reactions are emblematic of why non-CineD folks think everyone is SMG here. If its not Independence Day, it's Transformers, or the Ninja Turtles movie a few years ago, or whatever. vvv I only brought it up because it was topical.

All I know is I like The Crow because of the main villain doing a fun southern sleezeball accent that makes no sense with his character. Dollar Bill is his name too and Bai Ling is his wife. 5 star character. Fire it up.

These opinions are actually fairly widespread outside of CineD, too.In fact, I would say the majority of people outside of CineD think ID4 is pretty dumb.
