I should get the obvious stuff out of the way first. I consider both remakes to be superior to the originals for various reasons, though the originals are still good in their own right (a common theme of the 80s, what with The Fly, Cat People, and The Thing). In the 80s, the special effects … Continue reading The Blob (1958, 1988) and Invaders from Mars (1953, 1986) thoughts

Farscape (1999-2004) series review
Rated: 4 / 5 One of the few shows out there that managed to maintain being consistent in quality throughout its existence. It's a show I never appreciated as much as I should've. Mainly because at the time I was thinking, "Yeah, this show is fun. It's a sign of better things to come if … Continue reading Farscape (1999-2004) series review
Alien (1979) analysis
Rated: 4 / 5 Wokeness: 1.5 / 5 This is a film I saw back in the day, well after I had seen and become a fan of its sequel Aliens (which is still my second favorite movie of all time). At the time I just thought this was a mediocre warmup to greatness, where … Continue reading Alien (1979) analysis
Lexx (1997-2002) series review
So having watched Babylon 5 and Farscape, I'm left wondering what else there is that is considered excellent among the best sci-fi shows ever made (ones that are live-action, have an actual ending, and isn't Star Trek, because Star Trek is the default sci-fi show to fall back on in every situation). I heard about … Continue reading Lexx (1997-2002) series review
Babylon 5 (1994-1998) series review
Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 Introduction There are times when I get sick of watching movies, and seek out great television shows. Usually I seek out shows that have already been seen through to completion, and dive in at that point. Because I hate getting into shows that have no ending, that were cancelled before … Continue reading Babylon 5 (1994-1998) series review
Blade Runner 1 and 2049 dual review
Blade Runner rated: 3.5/5 Blade Runner 2049 rated: 3/5 Like the first film, this one ended up bombing at the box office, even though it's ranked at #1 for the weekend (well thank fuck not that many dumbass kids and fucking bronies are giving My Little Pony that much fucking money). Will it gain as … Continue reading Blade Runner 1 and 2049 dual review
