“Oh Knights who until recently said Ni! We beseech you….”
(as in the following are not really catch phrases but…)The Princess Bride:
Count Rugen has invited Humperdinck to watch Westley being tortured
Prince Humperdinck: Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work. But I’ve got my country’s 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I’m swamped.
Count Rugen: Get some rest. If you haven’t got your health, you haven’t got anything.
(Vizzini’s rant about the poisioned wine is also a fav)Austin Powers, I.M.O.M.
Dr. Evil: “I’ve got a whole bag of Shush, with your name on it…”Beast Wars
“Waspenator rip you a new waste disposal unit…” WaspenatorDarkwing Duck:
Darkwing: If you want to be a villain, you have to think like a villain. You ARE a villain!
Comet Guy: I ARE a villain!
Darkwing: I AM a villain…
Comet Guy: Uh…but I thought I was supposed to be the villain?LOTR
“My Precious…” Gollum-and that was when the fit hit the shan…
sorry…I should have specified 🙁
A dead rotting donkey to Solaris Remake.
A dead rotting donkey to War of the Worlds Remake.
I try to put the books aside when I watch a movie adaptaion as the different genres both offer beautiful nuances each other cannot capture.
I don’t don’t mind when a movie is slow like the original Solaris, the story is still awesome(I am used to “slow” as I watch a lot of foreign films..ever seen “Light the Red Lanterns?, one of my favorites).
I just hate remakes that take an intelligent and interesting story and strip it away into a 2D picture.
anyways…. 🙂
cool sense of humor you have…we need to channel it in new directions….
How about Starhunter? Tanya Allen aside (which is why most watch it, I think)…
😉 J/K
So why did you get the trouble over the name???
Actually…I just have a hard time remembering how to say/spell peoples names….
like Ralph Fiennes…..like Ivcambot…
some are good at that sort of thing, detail people, people who like AutoCadd
“Hurting…stop..when does it?” – Eek the Cat
hmmm…..have to say I have watched the odd ep of Buffy (Spike is quite yummy IMO). Does this make me a bad parent? Bad parents are bad parents and will watch whatever they are into, be it Coronation Street or the computer or whatever, while their children are around instead of spending time with them (whether the show is approp or not). I haven’t watched Lexx, Red Dwarf, Dr. Who, BSG, Firefly, ST, Farscape, Buffy, etc…WHILE my son was up and about, not even as an infant. Josh Wheadon may write in a particular sci-fi/fantasy genre that you don’t care about, so just ignore it.
There are many sci-fi shows that don’t have much tech behind them or they don’t bother to explain it. Those who think they are engineers don’t watch them. All Sci-fi offers us a different perspective on life, a what if…and we enjoy it ’cause it is different.there are SWASHBUCKLERS like Battlestar, Firefly
there are the COMEDIES like Red Dwarf, Lexx
there are DRAMAS like Star Trek, Farscape (if you can get past the muppet)Each show is hopefully well rounded enough to have more than one element as its primary focus. Just like books, we don’t want to read Hebert all the time not do we want to read Anne McAffrey all the time…but I’m glad they are both available. If you like to watch the CSI of the Sky….enjoy! Just don’t cast your distainful glance my way..I’m too busy watching Dark Angel…
Tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom!
erm…I think Tom Baker was the best!!!
I would pick Chrissy boy there but he abandoned us so quickly…I was just getting used to his ears and starting to think he was cute (not to mention a very good actor)….
Tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom tom
Perhaps we should pick our best Dr based on their, erm, scarf lenth?
😛hmmm..until I read the mini-review there, I had thought it was pretty good….but then I read that post and I was like “oh yeah, your right…oh yeah, that also..””
yep – another great saddie reviewer is born!
(I did enjoy the whole banter between the two guys on the rescue mission though )
I thought the cartoon version of the outfit was a little odd and ugly (also not very protective, but oh well). The movie version looks pretty. …however, as I was picking a wallpaper for my computer my 2.5 yr old walked in and exclaimed “Batman!!”
hmm….what about a black Aeon ?
Grace Jones !!
(I realize she’d be too old by now, just hypothesizing).
rubbish, eh?
oh well…if we saddies can love Lexx and Red Dwarf….
I checked out the “official” site and the wallpapers etc are quite cool and beautiful. A lot of CG money has been spent by the looks of it. I don’t actually know anything about Aeon Flux but I did download the trailer and it looks like a scene from Dark Angel, a scean from matirx, a scene from ….
you get the idea.
I’ll still be in line to see it though 🙂
😀 I remember my first, scare my pj’s off, hiding beihnd the sofa sci-fi event too..LOL!
not Dr. Who though…
I was 6 and it was an ep of something Rodgers?? (can’t remember the name now)
There was a robot as a side kick.
All the characters were walking through a cave when one of them took of his head!! Apparently it was an Android but I was 6 and didn’t know that.
I think my high pitched “scream of the damed ” from behind the couch scared my parents for life!!!hmm…I have to say I enjoy Firefly and happily await the movie (of course that has bit me in the butt before, I happliy awaited Hitchhikers).
While the storylines are simple, the characterizations are wonderful(as well as the actors who play them) and the odd one-liner can make the whole show. I think Joss’s shows fill a need for sci-fi/fantasy that is sorely needed. Fun, quirky, and totally watchable.All hail Planet Bob!
hmm….interesting ideas…
just a thought, however (I am prob missing the vital point). If the Cylon trillium base is too far out for the base ships to jump to without having the fuel from the base to jump back with, it would make a rather useless or not very efficient place to have a refinery. The ships would have to be able to store more fuel than they would need for the jump?
I believe Rhade grew up on “Sarah’s” hidden planet with all the rest of the families from the Commonwealth ships that she could save from the Maggog.
I think that this is why Rhade is not very “Neitzschean” as he probably did not grow up with all the Dogma, or the hard life, that the beautiful Tyr did.
….As for Trance, since there is a version of herself in every alternate reality/universe?, I guess it gives the writers great leeway whenever she gets abandoned or apparently killed off as to how or when she mysteriously returns.????
hmmm….I wonder if the woman who is suing would sue a breast-feeding mom who did so in public? No lawyer would take her case on that aspect I’m sure….
I think the bru-ha-ha is silly. I wouldn’t have wanted to be sitting there watching the show with a younger child…but it seems that for most people, football is mostly about being out in the sunshine drinking a beer….same as baseball…same as hockey (except then it is inside in the cold…drinking a beer.) So beer and boobies…seems a good mix?
Poor Janet has to do something to revive her sagging career (I guess with something that dosen’t sag?) Anyone who has seen a Janet Jackson video would know what her pornformances are like and if that was an issue, shouldn’t have booked her.ADM the only exception I need to take with your comment….why do you jump to the conclusion that the woman who is suing must be a “bible-basher”. Perhaps a personal bent on the issue? I have a bible…I can bash you with it if it would make you feel better 😀 Hold out your hand please…
Remember :”All Generalizations are false!” 😆
😀 Oh my, Logan! What a cutie pie she is…and that hair! She looks so tiny in her exersaucer…
My little guy is 7 months old now and it is sooo much fun because he just gets more and more interactive.
Oh, and I checked out the pic of your beautiful wife and the sumos…those guyts look like a lot of fun to hang out with!
I haven’t travelled much at all…but I think Canada is a great place to be! Apparently some of the best Sadgeezers live here 😉 hmmm….maybe that is not a vote of confidence for Canada? Did you watch the outdoor Hockey game we had?
😈
I couldn’t live in Japan…I would feel too big and fat. 😆
Alberta is an excellent place to be….I could drive to B.C. and check out Andromeda being filmed without having to live in B.C. (I Love B.C. but it seems very hard to get a good job there besides paying a fortune for property).
I have lived in many places in Alberta, and Edmonton and Calgary are the best!
Lots of movies are filmed out here in the west (I know Toronto prob has more) and you can easily sign up to be an extra (which is loads of fun).
It is too bad there aren’t more members from Alberta….too many people here succumb to Trekkie land and Baldors Gate.
That is hilarious…I never Realized his hair was that huge…is it really that humongous?
I think perhaps you have something with the hair idea there. Rock stars have big hair…and lots of groupies. Perhaps Hair and not the old adage of feet is the new indicator of….Anyways maybe Stan should grow out some hair..although I don’t think back hair would count.
And yes, poor Tyr…I am sure it makes Keith more comfortable not to wear his steel mesh shirt, his blades, and now his big hair…but then, beauty is always at the cost of comfort, isn’t it?car stickers would be the most evil! Disrupting traffic everywhere! My husband would hate a car sticker! bwa ha ha!
Then, I could also put the stickers on Aden’s nappies, thus making them official sadgeezer nappies!
My little guy is now 6 months and in awe of the christmas decorations. I think baby humans are rather like baby cluster lizards….”hmmm that looks tasty!” Right now he is determined to eat the tree!
I would love to post a pic since I think he is the cutest….but how?
Thanks Logan, for the link, it is still working….
Oh yeah, and “tis the season to be Holly…or “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas”
😳 well, I am obviuosly replying to an old post but feel like doing so anyways….
The Sorbo-suck-o-rama show is not looking good for viewing into a 4th season. I can hardly bring myself to watch it anymore (never mind write about it [hands head in shame for letting down fellow sadgeezers])
However, now that I no longer have pregnancy hormones coursing through my veins I may be more tolerant of the drivel…provided the “new mom lack of sleep syndrome” does not make my nerves too frayed (although it may dull my wits enough to enjoy the program once more).
As an aside, I saw Sorbo on a Canadian show, “City Line” and he does not even seem to like his own show and talks about doing something else. Too bad Dylan Hunt could not be killed off and the show continue on….to a brighter future? 🙂
hmmm….Don’t cry to hard over Rev Bem. I’m sure he’ll be back some day. He’s more like, “missing in action” right now but presumed dead. So if the creators wish…
I believe the very talented actor who portrays Rev either
A: didn’t like spending hours every day having make-up applied.
B: Developed an allergy to the make-up.
or C: Like everything else cool on this set, like Trances Tail, that might increase the budget…”Chop, CHOP!”I personally miss Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum.
They should kick ass more often..
HMMM…I like all of the name ideas, Thanks!!
ermm..I don’t think I will add Sadgeezer to my list though, although, officially, my child will have to be a Sadgeezer…otherwise you can give them back, right??
[img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]This season has been very boring. I have actually enjoyed watching StarGate, which appears before it, more than Andromeda…which means I’m desperate.
Okay, when is the universe going to stop spinning around Dylan? When are the other characters going to get more screen time? When is Harper going to get some action?
For crying out loud!
let’s have a little more in-fighting.
let’s see those damn huge bots again kicking ass…(oh yeah, Tweedle Dee & Tweedle dum)
and when are these crappy cliff hangers going to produce some character deaths?
not that I want anyone in particular to go, but why get excited about a teaser?This season has been very boring. I have actually enjoyed watching StarGate, which appears before it, more than Andromeda…which means I’m desperate.

not that I want anyone in particular to go, but why get excited about a teaser?Well, I didn’t end up reading all the thoughtful responses but still wanted to put my own two cents in anyways so forgive me if I reiterate a previous post.
I don’t want to watch “Sci-Fi American Pie”.
Please.
Lexx is included in this..although it has it’s merits, I am not impressed.
Everything good is in balance, yin/yang, bad/good, male/female, Deep Space 9/Enemy mine. I don’t want something that has a predominant thread with weak interlacing topics, and for @#$$ sakes, kill off characters. EVERY cliff hanger, I want to see someone go.I don’t want to see humans put down for being human. I don’t want to see humans epitomized for being human. Why should we have aliens who always seem to have cooler genetics than we do? Why have aliens who never have the correct solution to a problem?
Give me a series like the movie, “The Princess Bride” ….“Fencing. Fighting. True love. Strong Hate. Harsh Revenge. A few giants. Lots of bad men. Lots of good men. Five or six beautiful women. Beasties Monstrous amd gentle. Some swell escapes and captures. Death, lies, truth, miracles, and a little sex.”
I realize I am supposed to list shows I hate and love, but after the first season or premise they all seem to fall apart…except for that damn “Friends”.
Respectfully (especially to those many I admire whom enjoy Lexx),
Holly
bwa haa haa! I know all about season two! Come on, you really want to know all about it! …..just ask Holly
bwa haa haa! I know all about season two! Come on, you really want to know all about it! …..just ask Holly
yeah the first one was, but the quote is from “Beast Wars” (depending on country can be Beasties) Optimus Primal is a Gorilla-like transformer.
Thanks!!!!!
I think if there ever is another episode like Harper 2.0, the song should not be “She’ll be coming around the mtn” but that nasty song from the “Pirates of Penzance” (spelling, can’t do). “I am the very model of a modern major general” [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]Thanks!!!!!

And the tail issue….ack! ack! ack! What a stupid dumb@#$ way of getting rid of it!!
hahaha! all true!
I liked it but it reminded of Dr. Who. Esp the Dr Who with the guy who has the frizzy hair and scarf down to his ankles.
But i enjoy Dr. Who and the dalatecs with toilet plungers for arms…….it’s all good baby!
hmmm, maybe you should come up for a holiday and we’ll do something about that hair [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] I’ll give you a nice massage as well.
Beka’s hair usually looks alright and suits her. The long, aka laura croft, braid looked sooo fake but the look suited her. Her new shot flip ‘do is the best yet. Trance’s hair has been a disaster area so I think the red wig is a good idea too, but fake hair is 10 times heavier than your own so I feel sorry for the poor girl and I think the white braidy thing is stupid. And we both agree about Rommie’s. I don’t mind the stupid hairdo’s as much as it looks stupid that it is completely changed in every ep with no reason given. I feel like I am watching different seasons all the time. rant rant rant, want to hear about my job?

ACCK! You must watch Andromeda! It is a great program (erm, about every third ep)
Trance, Rev Bem, Harper…great great great
kev, rommie, ermmm…The widening Gyre was great, harper 2.0 was great….
sci-fi actors and storielines are generally not that great..look at ST, or Lexx [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Its the ideas that are cool and the nice bums to look at…..Andromeda has nice bums and good story ideas. (And Kevin, good in his previous role!!! That’s like saying Scot Bakula was good in Quantum leap but not in Enterprise when the reality is once a Keanu Reeves, always a Keanu Reeves, basically there for the bum)
hmmm, I don’t have any ST stuff to incriminate me, but I do have a couple of the characters from Beasties (Beast Wars) in my klutches…”Optimus Primal, Transform!”
I don’t think I can qualify as a true geek as I am ashamedly poor at any “real” pc game…. Which would make me a geek in the geek world I guess?
hmmm, well I was born in ’72 so that makes me 30 this upcoming Dec 22. But I don’t think of it as old…..
Squishy, I think cluster lizards age slower than mere humanoids, so perhaps the hunkiness factor is yet to be bestowed upon thee. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] perhaps you are already hunky but too humble to notice it, or have not yet had enough brains to get strong and hunky. You need to eat more!
what do you get if you cross a blonde and a redhead?
A: Someone who is angry all the time but doesn’t now why
What do you call an intellegent blonde?
A: A Golden Lab
