darundal commented on Exclusive Starship Troopers Clip: Sing Along With "A Good Day To Die"

"Well, this one has next to no action, and is all satire, with major periods of suck that don't make any sense until you see the end, at which point you realize it was all deliberate and meant to help underscore the idea the movie is trying to get across."

"@Alcevious: Well, it has more to do with the fact that on top of all that, his acting was somewhere between "facepalm" and "somebody cover my testicles in bullet ants so that I have something to distract me from the pain that is watching him do anything.""

"@PVIII: My big problem with T3 is that, at the end of T2, the whole Skynet thing had been very satisfactorily resolved with the destruction of Cyberdyne and of the two Terminators."

"@augie1: Well, if it shows the end of Jar Jar and the Gungan race, then yes it is (even though I know this won't happen because that thing was in Episode 3)."

darundal commented on Who is the Gayest Robot in Science Fiction?

"This really does look like it is more of a "who is more well known" then "who is gayest.""

darundal commented on Battlestar Galactica Goes Planet of the Apes

"Well, assuming that Natalie was the dying leader, then if Starbuck somehow caused whatever happened on Earth, then she could fulfill her role as "The Harbinger of Death" and as someone who would lead them to Earth at the same time."
