Oh, and Flight To Mars has some really really short skirts and sexy high heels. I don’t remember any high heels in Starship Troopers. So there. 
Must be from the same universe where there was a movie about Charles Foster Cane.
Oh, I just used that as an example. Some of the '50s sci-fi movies are watchable (even the B&W!) but some were ‘meh’ cheapies made quickly to capitalize on the space race.
But there was a pretty unexpected (and lovely) shower scene! 
Zardoz was so horrifyingly bad, I’m surprised that Connery ever got another film. Seriously- it’s that bad.
Yeah, they would’ve been much better off if they’d just stitched together the cutscenes from the PC games and threw in some CGI space battles to take care of the stuff that happens during gameplay.
Has no one here seen “Spaced Invaders”? Oh how I envy you - this movie had an amusing trailer, and not one of the lines from the trailer appeared in the movie (I’m pretty sure that different actors provided the voices in the trailer than in the movie). It was horrifyingly bad. Spaced Invaders - Wikipedia
“Species” was pretty craptastic. A cynical ripoff of Alien, only this time with boobs. But it wasn’t at the bottom of the barrel either.
“Species II” is the worst movie I ever saw in a movie theater. Just horrible, horrible, horrible, from start to finish. I mean, super-horrible.
I can’t believe people are mentioning “The Matrix” or “Aliens” or even “The Phantom Menace” when movies like “Species II” are around.
Didn’t he participate in some kind of mutiny?
On the HMS Bounty, wasn’t it?
Alien 3: Yeah, let’s just piss all over James Cameron’s masterful Aliens and pretend it never happened!
Alien Resurrection: A lost cause.
Independence Day: I felt insulted by this movie. Few films actually make me angry in the way ID4 did.
Matrix Reloaded: Without a doubt the worst movie-going experience of my life. I’ve largely blocked-out the third one, but Reloaded was just dull and pretentious.
Terminator 3: What’s with sequels to James Cameron films? Do they have to suck by law?
I’m sure there are worse movies out there – I’ve actually got Star Crash waiting here to be watched – but the above five are big “event” movies that were terrible. A far greater crime.
That said, I love Flash Gordon, the Star Wars prequels, Starship Troopers, etc., so what do I know?
No, no. You are thinking of The Caine Mutiny. That is when Michael Caine actually took 2 weeks off from making movies…
[spoiler]Isn’t that the one where they were trying to land on the moon, and went to Mars…because their aim was off?
“Um…mistakes were made?” 
[/spoiler]
Humanoids from the Deep: Guys is fish costumes raping girls on the beach.
The Neptune Factor: Close-ups of aquarium fish passing as sea monsters with a bathtub sub and Ernest Borgnine.
Runaway: The most boring “robots” in human history and Gene Simmons.
Phase IV: Close-ups of common ants somehow taking over the world.
Tentacles: A never seen giant octopus and Shelly Winters.
Er, what? 
How is what Rocketeer said, a ‘true Scotsman’ fallacy? You claimed that SF movies are exempt from certain rules of good film construction, Rocketeer explained that they weren’t. If Rocketeer had claimed to define ‘SF movies’, it would be a NTSF, but he was claiming to define ‘good SF movies’. The statement ‘no good Scotsman puts sugar on their porridge’ may be snobbish and opinionated, but is not fallacious.
Well, they did start out for the moon and end up on Mars, but it was due to an unforeseen disaster, compounded by a bad calculation of fuel mixtures done by exhausted scientists.
(There’s also a hint that it might be divinely ordained. :rolleyes: )
Your Honor, I rise in defense of Timecop, which was actually a silly, fun movie with a nifty concept, a hissable villain (Ron Silver), a very tasty damsel in distress (Mia Sara) displaying her charms in a hawt sex scene, and a totally oogy end to the aforementioned villain. Move to dismiss.
It’s got Jean-Claude van Damme in it. Motion denied, and the court sentences you to forty hours of community service cleaning the floors of the local porno cineplex after a double feature of Cheerleaders in Heat and Gay Caballeros at the Bar Nothing Ranch.
Adjourned for lunch.

Sloane starkers? :eek:
That’s going on my DVR alert list.
It is exactly interchangable with no true Scotsman. You must not understand the word “true” in the context of the fallacy. It’s not about foreign spies posing as Scotsman.
