Re: Dredd
Dredd and The Raid: Redemption make a great double feature. Both are gritty, action-packed and make great use of their claustrophobic settings, they both have a big action piece in a drug lab too. Though the former is based more on gunplay while the latter is directed towards martial arts. One thin...

Re: Demolition Man
Seems like Simon Phoenix has finally matched his meet. We really licked his ass. https://sfdebris.com/videos/films/demolitionman.php Okay, even after all the years since I've seen this movie, that one bugs me etymologically speaking. Unless the words "lick" and "ass" have changed so drastically in ...

Re: DS9: What We Left Behind
I figured this was more a collection of thoughts that popped into his head while he watched rather than a full-blown analysis which would undoubtedly take multiple rewatches. In any case, I'm glad he brought it up because it reminded me of the documentary's existence and I certainly need to watch it...

Re: For All Mankind
Chuck glosses over Ted Kennedy's car accident, and in fairness that isn't what the video is about. But for those of you who don't know, He killed a woman (albeit accidentally) and then fled the scene of the crime. And this wasn't a small momentary bout of forgetfulness. It took him anywhere up to t...

Re: The Expanse - Season 1
Having never watched it nor read the series, just how much time is dedicated to Holden making things worse?

Re: From Here To Infinity, part 3
To be above good and evil is someone who does not believe that good and evil exists - or at least - someone who does not believe that these things exist FOR THEM. This is primarily a nihilistic or sociopathic way of thinking. But in its lesser form could be applied to the anti-hero or Byronic hero ...

Re: Ashes to Ashes
The Kobali have the potential to make really good antagonists in the future, especially if they leaned into the cult-like ideology that seems to go with them. The moment you're resurrected you belong to the Kobali, doesn't matter if you have some lingering memories or feelings for your previous life...

https://www.sfdebris.com/videos/animation/treasureplanet.php Chuck review's Disney's Treasure Planet ... IN SPACE!!! I gotta say, while the robot comic relief sidekick is deserving of the grief Chuck gives 'em, they're still more helpful than Mushu from Mulan . To be fair, Mushu has his moment of h...

Re: Strange New Worlds: A Look at Ghosts of Illyria
"Are we tolerated only because we're useful" creates a very dangerous precedent to life and growth for individual people and society as a whole. For starters, it stifles things like self-expression and can severely impact someone's self-esteem or confidence if they feel they can only be accepted if ...
