Sheppard: "Y’know, we’ve been having these conversations for a couple of weeks now, and I don’t even know your name. You guys do have names, right? Let me guess...Steve?"
Wraith: "I am your death. That is all you need to know."
Sheppard: "I prefer Steve."Comment

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harmComment

PTAH! is it possible to just "give free-passes" for all Star Trek/Star Wars/ Back to the Future/Terminator/Alien/Matrix movies ? they are sort of classic, and kinda like a given, although they are not necessarily the best.sigpic

Round 0, Day 1
- Dark City (2nd vote)
- Minorty Report (3rd vote)
Ptah, do the superhero films count as science fiction? If they do, or only some of them to, I'd like to vote for the following:
- V for Vendetta
- Superman (1978)
- X-Men II
If they count, or only some of them count, then great. If not then I guess I'll have another eight votes to throw around.Comment

This is tough but my top three at the moment are:
Blade Runner
Aliens
MatrixComment
-
Man, I know I am forgetting some, and First Contact was great as well as the original 3 Star Wars. But I guess I will go with.
Aliens
I, Robot
The Fifth Element
I should go with Pitch Black or Chronicals of Riddick since they are good movies and probably wont get put on the list. At least most people I know liked both of these.Joseph Mallozzi -"In the meantime, I'm into season 5 of OZ (where the show takes an unfortunate hairpin turn into "the not so wonderful world of fantasy")"
^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me.
Thor, ya got Aspirin?
AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn.Comment

1. No (Shame, I love that movie), more an action movieOriginally posted by White Knight
2. Yes, aliens
3. Yes, as it is based around a scientific developmentEquality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

If that's your reasoning then I'm going to have to argue it. V for Vendetta, while it was marketed that way and while it does contain some awesome action scenes, isn't an action film. I can only remember three action scenes in the entire movie and I watched it yesterday. It's more of a political thriller than anything, but since it does take place in Earth's dystopian future it (only just) falls within the boundaries of science fiction.Originally posted by PtahTheCreationGodComment

Hmn, I can see the political thriller side yes, but I just don't see it as science fiction, however, as you want it in there, and have been a regular voter in my other tournements, and that it could be debated that it has some sci-fi elements to it, that may be enough to convince some that it falls within the right boundries, I will not say no to this one.
Also, if anyone wants to back up L-Jade's idea of a "Classic's free pass" for the following franchises:
Star Trek
Star Wars
Alien
Back To The Future
Terminator
Predator
Please let me know, should they get a "free pass" anyone who has used a vote to try and put one of them through will get that vote back.Equality is not a concept.
