I'm not done yet! I guess straight to video has always been a thing, but befofe you just got tantalising glimpses of box covers in the video rental shop, now you can get a proper taste of the generic awfulness.

"Don't touch anything!" [guy touches something]. Scientist in breathy voice: "I've never seen anything like this." THEIR GREATEST THREAT... WAS EACH OTHER. So help me I could consider watching this one.

amazing thread

Our Sweet Fredrest (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:28 (seven years ago) link

Ha, only two in and I'm already thinking MindGamers looks so unutterably terrible that I must see it.

emil.y, Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:33 (seven years ago) link

would definitely watch Space Tripping god help me, seems like the SF I Accidentally Domed Your Son

Our Sweet Fredrest (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:38 (seven years ago) link

I think there's 8 or 9 here I would actually consider watching, maybe we need a support group.

the year of diving languorously (ledge), Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:40 (seven years ago) link

yeah i'd probably watch most of these that aren't big budget comicbook movies but i wd be lying if i said i wouldn't want some level of chemical support

Our Sweet Fredrest (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:41 (seven years ago) link

Would happily join in on a live watchalong if any of them come up on netflix but I've never got my head around torrenting films really so this may not be feasible.

emil.y, Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:48 (seven years ago) link

That was a terribly-written sentence, sorry.

emil.y, Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:49 (seven years ago) link

That Russian one! OMG.

emil.y, Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:50 (seven years ago) link

can't work out if Ickerman is a trailer for an actual movie or some sort of MRA thing looking for crowd-funding

Our Sweet Fredrest (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:55 (seven years ago) link

Apparently Iron Danger, which looks completely bonkers, is based on the Kalevala? Okay then.

emil.y, Saturday, 10 December 2016 22:59 (seven years ago) link

Would be up for a watching party, surely netflix is the natural home of this kind of thing.

the year of diving languorously (ledge), Saturday, 10 December 2016 23:00 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, I've watched a lot of enjoyably terrible things on netflix (and a few surprisingly good things I'd never heard of too). Somehow me & my friend ended up watching this *TWICE* while very drunk:

Top thread addition.

Btw can we get tuomas in here to tell us exactly how many giant nazi robot tank dogs there are in the kalevala?

the year of diving languorously (ledge), Saturday, 10 December 2016 23:57 (seven years ago) link

tuomas is badly needed currently -- i want to quiz him about finnish cops (and the finnish language)

Iron Danger is genuinely terrifyingly bad. tt was saying it looks like a film by a religious organisation

also quite funny that only britishes are posting itt

Dave Plaintive rapper with classical training (imago), Sunday, 11 December 2016 22:19 (seven years ago) link

Lots of big-name suckery in that last batch. Z for Zachariah sounds like it would've been more interesting kept closer to the book (which I just looked up, never read it).

emil.y, Monday, 12 December 2016 01:30 (seven years ago) link

I'm quite up for watching Passengers, cheesy as it looks.

chap, Monday, 12 December 2016 15:45 (seven years ago) link

In fact I'll probably end up seeing a load of these.

chap, Monday, 12 December 2016 15:46 (seven years ago) link

I think I watched too many of these in one go, had very odd apocalyptic dreams last night.

(Also I've now forgotten which one Passengers is, they really do converge into one.)

It's the one with pavarotti

Oh yeah, I have images off so can't tell if youtubes are embedded and don't get the preview image to refresh my memory. The first one in this thread, right?

emil.y, Monday, 12 December 2016 23:50 (seven years ago) link

(NB it's the one w/ that shitty Imagine Dragons track, yes?)

emil.y, Monday, 12 December 2016 23:50 (seven years ago) link

(Sorry, I don't think that needed 'NB' really, blech)

emil.y, Monday, 12 December 2016 23:51 (seven years ago) link

two weeks pass...

watched passengers

as a sociopath who has ruined the lives of several poor undeserving girls i guess i should appreciate what the film is trying to do for me, but it is bad. very very bad

r|t|c, Thursday, 29 December 2016 01:44 (seven years ago) link

has anyone ever actually seen Chronicles of Riddik? I always think of that when the topic of Sci-Fi I refuse to watch on principle comes up.

Frobisher, Thursday, 29 December 2016 03:11 (seven years ago) link

Seen a minute of it. It's laughably bad (not that Pitch Black is anything to write home about either).

One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Thursday, 29 December 2016 13:03 (seven years ago) link

I enjoy watching trailers for these kind of movies so much. Someone needs to figure out how to make a feature length movie structured exactly like a movie trailer, I would watch that.

Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 29 December 2016 13:56 (seven years ago) link

trailer does a heck of a job of burying the lede. but who is the real villain, the creepy guy who robs a girl of her future for his own pleasure or the spaceship designer who doesn't build in any fail safes or human oversight?
