BSG: Blood and Chrome

[Spider]

I liked Caprica as well. They were doing something unconventional, and I applaud them for that. It was an attempt to create an interesting scifi scenario in such a way as to avoid the giant BSG budgets and still leave room for actors to shine. (A pretty great cast, BTW).

It was doomed to failure from the moment people realized there wasn't going to be a lot of explosions. But at least they tried something new.

Its not a crime that it failed, in the way people are still going on about Firefly 10 years later...few people are going to remember Caprica.

there's a firefly marathon on science channel today along with an interview with the whole cast at the end, or something.

so you came up with the "dances with wolves" critique all by yourself? with no outside influence?

Because it's literally in every negative review of that movie. every single one.

[Spider]

Well, it was a 3 billion dollar film with generally positive reviews. So...lotta artards.

Then again...there's Titanic...which is flatly awful. So...the artards win again.

[The Comrade]

titanic was great. if you liked sappy love shit you loved it! if you liked watching shipwreck porn you loved it!

Mostly I like Winslet sans clothing. And when that guy hit the propeller.

i think it's silly to critique a movie for having similar plot elements to other movies when pretty much every story is based a little bit on something that came before it.
