Re: Scifiholic speaks out Re: [scifinoir2] Painkiller Jane Series Premiere
This one dealt with a bunch of pilots fighting the creatures in the skies above Europe, I think. It must have been a WWII era pic. The gargoyle CGI sucked! I guess it's all about profit, but nothing's worse than bad CGI. Heck, *good* CGI can sometimes bother me, as it's still too obviously not real. The Spider-Man movies, for example, are great, but the CGI leaves a lot to be desired. SciFi seems to have decided they can put out crap with crap CGI on the cheap. For example, did you see the movie about some giant killer cyborg/clone monster that was stalking German soldiers in WWII? The thing was so obviously CGI it was awful! I have video games whose cut-scene characters are more realistic looking that that. Or how 'bout that flick with Dean Superman Cain where a cloned dragon is stalking the corridors of an underground research lab? It's horrible because every single scene of the monster is obviously the exact same one! There's that horrible film that takes place on an is land where Coolio (!) is playing a Special Forces commander whose men are menaced by monsters. The monsters are so fake-looking, it's almost as laughable as Coolio playing a military man! The sad thing is, men in costume--like the ones in the orginal Gargoyles with Cornel Wilde--look better than the bad CGI on SciFi. Heck, for that matter, I'd take the old stop-motion beasties of Ray Harryhausen over that! -- Original message -- From: Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.

Everyone's
too busy posing and speaking bad lines as if they have sticks up

that ain't a good thing. Not sure I'll watch this one again unless it
improves drastically or I'm very bored.

Re: Scifiholic speaks out Re: [scifinoir2] Painkiller Jane Series Premiere
did you see the crap with Robert Chakotay Beltran from Voyager? It was about a sentient fire creature running around immolating people. Junk!

Always with the sound off (I'm weird that way, rarely watch TV with sound, relying on Closed Caption). At least every other week, I ahve to turn off the captioning, because I get too far into my MSTie rant and lose track of the program. I even write mini-reviews of some of the movies. Allow me to share the one from the spectacular Kaw. Never more. Never more. Seriously. It's the sole purpose behind my viewing them, having a list of movies to pick from when I realize my dream of restarting the MST3K franchise. Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.

So, here is my confession, While I have finally given up on decent scifi movies on Saturdays, when scifi channel first started the Saturday night D movie programming, I watched regularly for at least 8 weeks hoping that some of the movies would be good campy fun.

Worse, IMO. One of the bad guys was possibly the most metrosexual android ever
conceived of in SF. Every time it got its a$$ kicked, it stopped to dust itself
off meticulously. And the lines- at least Tracker characters could deliver
their lines and not sound as though they were strangling on them.

Re: [scifinoir2] Painkiller Jane Series Premiere
Can't believe I've never seen this show, not even to dog it out. Was it as bad
as the awful series Adrian Highlander Paul was in, the one where he was
tracking down rogue aliens on Earth, Alien Tracker?

Keith, whyfor you insult Vulcans so?
Seriously, this is nothing more in my eyes than Codename: Eternity (was that
the name of that craptastic show?) with a slightly better-looking lead.

I'm really getting tired of Indian, Pakistani, or Arab characters with British accents. From Bashir on DS9 to Sayid on Lost (who is British in real life and fakes an Iraqi accent) American-produced shows are replete with such characters who speak the Queen's English or their native tongue with such an accent. Is there a reason we can't get actors who actually *sound* like they're from their characters' country of origin? * Man, I think half the profits of the drug trade and the budget of government law enforcement agencies, must go to leather wear! Amazing how every henchman and supposedly underpaid government agent is wearing thousands of dollars worth of leather jackets and pants! Can you tell I wasn't impressed? There were several fights, all of which were dizzying (not in a good way) and too fast-paced. Everyone's too busy posing and speaking bad lines as if they have sticks up their arses. This show reminds me of the late, unlamented Mutant X, and that ain't a good thing. Not sure I'll watch this one again unless it improves drastically or I'm very bored. What did y'all think?
