And if there’s anything the people want from this site, aside from nekkid pics of TV stars as per my Google referrals, it’s buttons buttons buttons!
Hey, a button of the original Battlestar Galactica, in all its washed-out, possibly bootleg glory.
This movie will be 20 years old next year. That’s something I probably didn’t want to know. I haven’t seen in in over a decade, and I primarily remember that they really ramped up the goofiness for this sequel. Also, there’s the genius of the speech Phoebe Cates’ character gives about a tragedy in her past, parodying the similar speech from the first flick.
I have two primary memories of this TV series. First, that the series’ star, Roy Scheider, reportedly wasn’t pleased about the existence of the comic book spin-off, and it only had one issue released. (No idea how true this story is…maybe one of you can confirm or deny.) Second, there was a stereotypical sci-fi nerd type in a Saturday Night Live sketch, and he was wearing a way-too-tight Seaquest shirt.
Never saw the actual show itself, aside from maybe five or ten minutes at one point.
Now, I keep seeing copies of the DVD of this in the $5 bin at my grocery store, and I’m tempted sometimes, until I remember just how dark and depressing this film was. I actually haven’t seen it since I sat in that theatre back in ’87, just shaking my head at it all, and I think I may just be better off sticking to the comic adaptation. At least that has Curt Swan art.
Boy, if it’s one thing a guy who manages a comic shop knows, it’s fitting into society.
