Squirrel 5,180 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I’m thinking if Flash Gordon isn’t chosen as our main film it definitely should be used as an extra viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the soundtrack, which I have listened to far more times than I have seen the film, I seem to now recall it is General Khala, Flash Gordon approaching What do you mean 'Flash Gordon approaching''? On a Hawkman rocket cycle Open Fire!!! All Weapons!! Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum FLASH. AHA etc The best dialogue has to be the wedding vows though. Anyway @LimeGreenLegend I was going to pick Dune, but now I'm thinking I should join the Flash train. I'll try and decide late.

Its a bit satirical to our society in general, but not to the books! It is pretty much bang on the Idea I had of the actual ground troopers in Ender´s universe while I was reading through them (and I ended up watching the movie afterwards because of the reference). I see starship troopers as a lighthearted movie, but not exactly a comedy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only read Ender's Game and didn't like it at all, and the author is a prick I get how you can have a different perspective from reading them all though.

Squirrel 5,180 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 You guys aren’t making it easy to choose. Two films have been selected that I really want to watch now. I keep thinking that my choice of film won’t be as appealing as either Flash or Starship. I’ve got one film in mind that is an epic story and will appeal to a lot of people but it’s fairly modern so it’s not really introducing people to something they may never have seen. My other film is a personal favourite. But I know my taste is fairly weird so it won’t have the same impact as the cult classics already selected.

I am wondering if anyone here hasn´t seen either Flash or Starship Tropers... I think that it won´t be the first time for anyone here on both those ones. On the other hand, those 2 are just solid landmarks of the genre and, even if there is a chance that just one of us hasn´t seen them, then they need to be here... It would be the same with star wars, but I cannot phantom the idea that any of us here hasn´t seen the original trilogy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel 5,180 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The coin toss result is in. Blame @LimeGreenLegend if you don’t like it ? My choice is Transformers The Movie (1986) I think I’ve suggested it before so you know the deal with it. Epic cast and soundtrack. As well as glorious space battles. The losing coin flip film was Rogue One. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djw180 6,846 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Just a quick note on this. It's the 1984 David Lynch film rather than the made-for TV mini series. There is also a "Special TV edition" of the film, which I mistakenly bought. I personally would not recomend this version (and it appears, according to IMDB, David Lynch would not either). The extra features I think are mainly just some narrated scenes to drawn art work giving extra background to the story. But having the read the book more than once I know that background story very well already. Edited September 1, 2019 by djw180 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good choice, The new Dune is coming early next year. Good time to watch the old one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
