#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 But I was being correct when I said I have no interest in sci-fi and fantasy as genres. I'm interested in individual films of series, some of which may happen to be of those genres. Is High Castle sci-fi? I like that. Stargate SGI however doesnt interest me.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I like Star Trek, some of Star Wars, 2001, Alien, Blade Runner. And for fantasy really just LOTR and GOT. The latter with some reservations. Thats like saying you love the zombie genre because of The Walking Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been that way - anything fairly decently made featuring spaceships, futurism, sorcery, monsters or superheroes, and you're there. With your little photo of the ticket for proof. Squeezing in True Detective, The Thick of It (these two are often your defence) or the odd other zeitgeist tv show every now and then does not convince me of otherwise! Look, please don't be offended by this. It's absolutely fine that you enjoy and feel comfortable in your regular genres of choice, but you can't act all misunderstood and hard done by either when people like me feel limited with what movies/TV they can actually talk to you about. I realised some time ago that your viewing habits are of limited range, and that's okay! But don't try to kid me it's not really like that! Because you're just being dishonest to yourself.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Is Broadchurch sci-fi or fantasy? Or Top Gear? Or Jaws, my favourite film actually. I have an appreciation for blockbuster cinema, that is true. I don't see how that limits me to being into sci-fi and fantasy? Yes I am a Trekkie, and yes I adore LOTR. (as do you, btw) But it's probably useless to try and change what you seem to so persistently consider your opinion of me. That's one thing you and Alex do share. Inflexibility in your thinking. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 You'll say I'm wrong, but while you'll happily wax lyrical about the few genres you do like, you're just as likely to proudly inform us of the many you don't. The Sopranos? No thanks, I don't like gangsters stuff! The Walking Dead? Not for me cheers, I'm not into zombies. Breaking Bad? Nah, I don't like gangsters and moral ambiguity. Oh go on then, if you're bribing me. See, some of us will give anything a try, especially if it's reported to be good. But you won't, because you have your limits. You have your preferred favourites. Inflexibility you say? Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I've watched plenty of The Soprano's back when it aired. Wasnt really my thing. Love the Godfather trilogy though. But wait, it's not sci-fi? how can that be??? Never watched Lost, while that is sci-fi/fantasy...how can that be? Havent done Westworld either? What's going on here?

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Nope! Here's another one I remember: "Sons of Anarchy? I'm not interested in the subject matter."

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'm pretty sure I have never expressed an interest in Sons Of Anarchy. Did you watch it Lee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Only the pilot, it's been on my list for years, but I need a longer gap in between that and The Sopranos first, because they're essentially the same thing. Apparently in later seasons of Sons, that also becomes Shakespearean too. I like human epics. I distinctly remember mentioning my interest in the show here a couple of years ago, and you chiming in about it as you generally tend to do. Maybe Jason can use the search engine.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 48 Hours Sci-fi epic starring Eddie Murphy as a con briefly sprung out of jail by temporal investigator Nick Nolte to catch a time traveling killer who murdered one of his colleagues. (Played by Jonathan Banks, who was on DS9) Directed by Walter Hill who was a producer on the sci-fi film Alien and it shows! James Horner actually scored the sequel to that and uses plenty of his Star Trek know-how to give 48 Hours a rousing score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Possession (1981) All I can say is that it's been a long time since a movie left me both so creeped out and excited at the same time. Masterful direction and acting by the two leads, Andrzej Zulawski is of course outstanding (and so frickin' beautiful) but Sam Neill is great too here; I felt he was kinda left out when people talk about this movie. Both were absoutely fantastic and worked great one against the other. I think the first half of the movie is absolutely flawless, the second is still very good but falls into more common places... Although I'm gonna have to watch it again as I feel like I missed out on a lot of stuff that at first felt like script errors but by the end seemed like the whole thing had a dreamy, not too far away from Lynch thing going on. I wish I could see it on the big screen! It truly left me satisfied and at the same time hungry for more. Very Lovecraftian, I won't say anything about the plot. I think the less you know the better, as you're in for a surprise altogether. Super recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For there are some weird ass parts, man... But yeah, if you like The Fury, Carrie or that 70's-80's horror kind of stuff and wanna seen it done a little more sophisticated then yeah, I highly recommend it. Even if you don't like that particular genre or style of movies, it's always good to be watching stuff out of your confort zone. I'm in a sort of mood for these kind of films these days. I'm getting ready to watch Suspiria or The Lair of the White Worm next. And listening to the fuck out of The Fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The only bad thing about Suspiria is the seventies colour of its fake blood. It undermines the thick air of dread the film otherwise has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
