Buffistas

I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

So I do have something of a weekness for bad SciFi movies. And tonight they're showing "Dragon Sword", which looks like cheesy fun.

The cast they list includes James Purefoy, Michael Scott Duncan, Patrick Swayze, Simon Callow, and Joan Plowright (!).

So I'm about 15 minutes in, and the dialog is awful and the writing makes no sense, but it's cheesy fun. And now Michael Scott Duncan (Tarik) meets up with a famous mercenary leader--and it's Val Fucking Kilmer.

WTF? He's not even in the credits!

Val Kilmer!

t giggles hysterically

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Consuela -- Oh my god, you're right! I thought I recognized him! I'm guessing this movie was supposed to have been a pilot, otherwise they wouldn't have come so close to having an actual cast of recognizable performers.

Purefoy kept looking entirely too much like Hugh Jackman... which isn't a bad thing.

Unlike most SciFi Channel originals, it was at least watchable, and the plot at least attempted to be original, as though it was a story I'd have written when I was 14, so I ended up watching it all the way through.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I recorded Dragon Sword to watch later based on one small ad I saw for it. (It's the one where someone says, "You're the only on in England wearing dragon skin boots" right?) So I'm hoping it is at least enjoyable, if only for the cast.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Forgot about Dragon Sword. Oh well. I'm sure they'll show it again. A million times.

Well, it was bordering-on-terrible, and the CGI was unspeakable. As was the "history".

But Val Kilmer! And Joan Plowright as (of course) a Mother Superior!

He was the old king.
