Theme Movies...

So we watched Abyss tonight...

But also Event Horizon. ::grins::

Oh, Event Horizon. How I had such high hopes for you...and how you dashed them to the ground.

Ya. Only the first hour was good... ya know, before it became Hellraiser.

Someone tell the phones to stop ringing. I had this great idea for a post on ship combat technology, design, and tactics and I can't write it with me being interuppted seventeen times. :/

My feelings, EXACTLY.

I still liked it. AND SUNSHINE.

I was thinking about other good inspirations for the iSpLARP. Here's my list:

- Alien, Aliens, and Alien Resurrection (the third one wasn't really very space-y.)
- Pitch Black
- Firefly & Serenity
- Andromeda (Ok, mostly watched this for Lexa Doig and the sexy purple chick, but this show was pretty cool for the 'working-man' style spacers. Most of the other ships in the series were working-man style rustbuckets and crappy space pintos, which provided an interesting comparison to the sleek, ultra-modern Andromeda. It's what I imagine the difference is between the new Isley ships and the old rusty stations like Naughtshead.)
- Battlestar Galactica
- The Black Hole
- Enemy Mine (If you haven't seen it, go check it out. It's cheesy, but awesome.)
- Soldier
- Stargate
- Dead Space (Just played through this game with a buddy of mine. This is one FREAKY game.)

Sing 'The Black Hole' theme music with me.

"Da da da WEEEEEba-da-da....da da da WEEEEba-da-da..."

The only ones I can't agree with in your list are Serenity and Resurrection. Enemy Mine is tremendous, though. I keep pushing Sunshine on people. To your list I add:

-Barbarella
-This Island Earth(screw you guys, I think it's awesome)
-Deep Impact
-Treasure Planet(was this already mentioned?)
-Explorers

Really, I dig anything that has space in it, at all.

Why not Serenity?

Because Serenity doesn't exist.

I mean...what was that title you menioned? I don't believe I ever heard it before.

Oh! Forgot this one:

- Titan A.E. (If you like Treasure Planet, you have to give it up for this one!)

Ah, good one! I bloody loved Titan A.E.
