Lexx actors in other roles

You say that “few people have seen Blade Runner, and I think significantly fewer enjoyed it”, yet you claim that Def-Con 4 has a sizable following? For all its technical inaccuracies inasmuch as credits are concerned, the Internet Movie Database is a fairly decent representation of a a cross-section of the movie-going public, and Blade Runner has an 8.3 (out of 10) user rating, and has been voted on 40,315 times. It ranks about #68 in the top 250 movies of all time, according to their calculations. Def-Con 4 has been voted on a mere 187 times (which should indicate how many people know it exists, compared to the roughly 200 times as many who know about and have voted for Blade Runner), and has a user rating of 3.6 out of 10. Blade Runner is one of the most critically successful science fiction films ever made, while Def-Con 4 languishes in obscurity. Just because *you* don’t personally like something doesn’t mean that nobody *else* does, as much as you seem to think that everyone should share your opinions and views on everything.
I wasn’t going to extensively research all the films these actors were in, I just included the ones I thought were siginificant. I know 5 people (excluding online contacts) who liked [i]Dev-Con 4[/i] (I myself have not seen it). I know 1 person who liked [i]Blade Runner[/i] (I saw it and thought it was weak).

So, for Tim Curry, you listed a fairly insignificant role in a failed movie like [i]The Shadow[/i], instead of listing what is perhaps the most significant role of his career. In a film that plays theatrically practically every weekend in practically every major metropolitan area, and in multiple theatres in the larger metro areas. A film that has done this since, roughly, 1980. Makes perfect sense. Like listing that barn-busting, earth-shaking success [i]Mr. Stitch[/i] rather than [i]Blade Runner[/i] for Rutger Hauer. Uh-huh. [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] Glad to see you’re weeding out the lesser titles.
Once again, I know people who liked [i]The Shadow[/i] (one is a devout fan), but [i]The Rocky Horror Picture Show[/i] has a very narrow range of appeal (I saw most of it on T.V., it was pretty stupid). [i]Mr. Stitch[/i] is obscure, but this is a sci-fi themed board and that was a Sci-Fi original movie, plus (i think) his only non-acting credit).

Do you know *anything* about film, or are you just making this up as you go along? For someone who allegedly requires hard proof before he believes *anything*, you certainly seem to have no problems inventing things out of whole cloth…such as the rabid cults you claim exist for films that only you and about 10 other people actually like, while claiming that more popular and/or well-respected films that you don’t happen to like (or agree with on a moral basis) are obscure and/or widely scorned.
I know quite a lot about science fiction films. I had a website that gave reviews and star ratings of sci-fi movies, but I made the mistake of working with someone else on it, and to make a long story short it no longer exists. I’m working on an updated version of it (I have well over 100 films rated), but I don’t want to put it up until it’s perfect.
