Comment Major scale (Score 1) 109

Whats about in a larger scale, I mean what about a laser beam send from Mercury directly to earth, even with all the interferences an the rotations from mercury him self and the Venus you can surely produce enough energy for earth, at least till something goes horrible wrong and we destroy our own planet with the beam.... -I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.-

Comment The pirate, the hero and the monkey key (Score 1) 381

Whats about the great point and click adventures. Sure the jump from 2D to 3D broke their neck....nobody is seeing stuff like Monkey Island, Sam and Max-Hit the road, Fate of Atlantis or I have no mouth but I must scream lately. but those where in my opinion the most entertaining, funny, yet challenging games ever made. For most of of the point and click - games you had to invest a lot of brainpower and creativity (sometimes you had to think like Guybrush Threabwood or Indiana Jones) for. so thous would be the game worth being conserved and remade for the future generation, because after finishing Beneath a Steel Sky or Loom you knew, you had achieved something big!

Comment The Russians (Score 1) 396

I say let the Russians make the good sci-fi movies, I mean, everybody is referencing 2001 but nobody mentioned Solyaris by Andrei Tarkovsky http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069293/, the brilliant story by Stanislaw Lem I like the totally different approach to science fiction, in a more sensitive way, without big budgets or special Fx. This would be the way I'd like to see future production (yeah, a man can dream) but consider what a good russian or french director with a half decent budget would make with a good science fiction story , since they have different perception of the matter. Also Ripley Scott proofed that Hollywood directors can make good sci-fi movies (I liked Bladerunner and Alien). Luke Beson made a beautiful masterpiece with the Fith Elemen. some director had potential but most of the Hollywood jerks can't get through it. what they made with Indy an Star Wars was just wrong, what they made with the new Bond, wrong, I-robot-wrong, Dark Knight....hell yeah! but the majority of the recent Hollywood movies are utterly bad bad bad... so, pleas let the real artists make the good movies and leave the action-sex-gore flicks to the rest....
