A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
tommy,
Splice scarred me for life. Under no circumstances can I recommend that movie. I really hated it. Everyone who watched it in my theater also hated it. The screams starting about 2/3rds of the way in were not from entertainment.
I have never had a movie-going experience like that and hope to never again.
So, what did people think of David watching Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and copying David Bowie's speaking style and hairstyle?
I thought it was cool but was a little disappointed they didn't go further with it.
eta: Oops. It was Lawrence of Arabia!
So no David Bowie connection.

I felt the same way about The Ten Commandments.
It's something I haven't seen in science fiction, which is a sense of racism or bigotry towards androids and synthetic life.
Er, what science fiction have you seen, sir?
I don't think they particularly explained much, but I liked Lindelof's answers.

Charlie has told me to shut up, he's being honest. Uh, he'd also be honest if he told me what he had for breakfast. "True" isn't sufficient criteria here. "Relevant" would be nice--I'm not asking for innovative, but "applicable in general" is cool too.
I'm just really confused because basically everything with robots I have ever seen features people being racist against robots.

Seriously. Has the guy never seen "Measure of a Man"? That's the TNG episode where StarFleet tries to make a legal finding that Data is an object owned by StarFleet.
P-C,
I think the actor revealed himself as someone who did not watch Battlestar Galactica. He hasn't watched "Twilight Zone", but setting aside missing the classics, he hasn't seen anything recently either.

Blade Runner went over his head, I'm thinking.
Dude, seriously--if you claim a "never", even if it's only your experience, everyone's next step is to point out *everything* you missed. I can't imagine it often pays off.
