Default Re: Battlestar Galactica Movie News

Craig rubbed me the wrong way from the very beginning as Bond. And the plots were just way too muddled, especially with the lame attempt to establish some kind of story arc over all of the films that never held together. Bond was going "rogue" too many times and we were also seeing him go from "not yet a double-oh" (which made his closeness to M really ridiculous) to virtual retirement in too short a span.

Not being a fan of Craig, this fan-created spoof of a "Casino Royale" trailer done in the style of the 1967 "Casino Royale" just has me busting a gut every time I see it.

I haven't seen any of the SW or Marvel Universe stuff because I prefer to let my SW memories stay uncontaminated. (I even got well-done Blu-Ray boots of the original trilogy cuts to serve as my viewing copies). In general I am completely divorced from today's pop culture (the Gadot Wonder Woman was one of my once in a blue moon exception viewings) and I feel better for it.

Of late, in my fanfic writing, I've been having fun trying to "cast" certain early 80s performers in parts that have become more prominent in my writing because it makes it easier to envision in the mind when writing if there's a certain performer who *could* have done an early 80s Galactica project. Somehow once that's done its easier to envision a film that "might" have been even if its forever just in my imagination.
