Bad Movies / Re: RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie...

Last post by M.10rda - February 01, 2026, 10:30:54 AM

It's the worst one (unless there's a fifth one which I ignored). 1 and 2 at least have moments and 3 is pretty meh. The series gets progressively co-star happy, as if adding a new permanent cast member/sidekick every movie will keep audiences interested. (Maybe the FAST/FURIOUS franchise works the same way, I dunno.) Nevertheless the problem is director Donner, who really seems asleep at the wheel or drunk in the 3rd and 4th ones. Long stretches seem totally non-directed, almost abstract.

Another personal vignette about me: I went to film school w/ a guy named Fred Topel, who for a while was a pretty well-known internet movie reviewer, kinda-famous for being one of those guys you could count on for a positive pull-quote on even the worst studio dreck. I'm sure he provided copy for BUCKY LARSON, DEUCE BIGALON, etc. We were in LA at the same time in 1998 and I saw him right after he attended the press screening for LETHAL WEAPON 4. I asked him how it was and without skipping a beat he said "The greatest action film of all time!"

Television / Re: Blake's 7 reboot?

Last post by Dr. Whom - February 01, 2026, 10:21:00 AM

Battlestar Galactica has a lot to answer for. I mean, I watched the first couple of seasons and thought they were great. But then it became accepted wisdom that in order to reboot a show, all you needed to do was to keep the trappings and steer it in a completely different direction, preferably gritty.
In the case of BSG this worked, because the original wasn't all that great to begin with, and the new direction was truly interesting, but it by no means a formula for success.

Frankly, I don't thing we'll see Blake's 7 reboot anytime soon.

LETHAL WEAPON IV (1998)

Never paid any attention to this series till I attempted part 1 a couple of years ago and lasted maybe 20 mins... Not seen 2 or 3.

This one's just a continuous bunch of explosions and cars with vaguely jokey interludes. Expected more based on the franchise reputation + actors. It's just averageville... meh.
