The NZA Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I'm shocked if this poll hasnt been on this forum before; long time comin'.... This is only because i thought acalis was like the resident trekkie, i always figured Star Wars was the default myself, even after the lackluster recent trilogy. Added LOTR for those kids too....here's to your favorite, and why, and the subsequent Clerks 2 comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDownBelow Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Star Trek. Good books, great series, and some decent movies. Dealt with a broad scope of issues that Star Wars never touched on and LoTR, while good was an epic cycle in the vein of the Icelandic Sagas, the Nibelungenlied, and the Kalevala: stirring a few times around but ultimately, outdated.

alive she cried Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Star Trek Is a fantastic show with a some great movies (the next generation ones) Star Wars IMO is shipoopi. This is just a kiddie movie is'nt it? I just don't get how it's popular with people who did'nt grow up with it. LOTR? Pure genius, the books moreso than the movies though. Outdated? Nonsense The LOTR trilogy are some of the greatest books ever made, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Yeah, movies inna movie forum. You wanna poll on books, we got culture for that...im going for best films (TV for Trek too i guess) but people're gonna vote for their overall favorite franchise, books included so it cant be helped.

The NZA Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 ...you did watch the old trilogy (IV -VI) tho, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Yeah I saw the original trilogy years ago that's what I'm basein' this on. C3PO and R2D2? this is the kind of crap you see in barney and stuff. All the characters are so 2D, there's no depth. As I said if you saw this as a kid and like it for nostalgic reasons ok but as a real movie? come on P.S. for the record I've seen episodes II, IV, V and VI. I thought II was the best, that's how lowly i rate the "classic" Star Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Star Wars. We had Samuel L Jackson. Star Trek? You bitches had Kirstie Alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbie Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well, based purely on fun factor, Star Wars is the best. It was not sci-fi, as I keep pointing out, and considering just the scifi elements, Trek is the only one even in this poll. They dealt with a lot of 'science affecting life' ideas. LOTR had the best visuals. No DOubt. Best overall though? Star Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 shush, you. this is the popular sci-fi poll, not the i-majored-in-fucking-physics sci-fi poll. The rest of us can go off of lasers and robots and call it sci-fi and get back to work. Alive, you put episode II over V (Empire Strikes Back)? really? I gotta know what Trek movies youre gong with here, cause i honestly havent seen much of any, unless youre just goin off one of the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I don't get the sci fi link to LOTR, its more medieval style fantasy imo But anyway its Star Trek for me. Star Trek First Contact, what a film! I love Lord of The Rings, but i don't consider that trilogy sci fi at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Anybody else notice in my earlier posts i typed "LODR" instead of LOTR, I'm a 'tard. As i said earlier I saw the first trilogy years ago and saw a half hour of IV a couple of months ago (I only saw half hour 'cos i then turned it off). They all just merge into one horrible memory of crap acting, shit characters and two retarded robots. While i like The Star Trek movies (First Contact especially) I much prefer the t.v. series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I'm not even going to vote I just can't do this. My brother is a huge trekkie and I just don't understand why intergalactic diplomacy is os fucking exciting. I mean couldn't you get the same effect by watching C-Span with a head full of acid and the soundtrack to 2001 a Space Oddysey playing in the background? Star Wars, okay the origional trilogy was cool, not as a big epic saga but just as a movie that incorporated all the shit I thought was cool at the time. Robots, lasers, swords (made out of lasers none-the-less), and outerspace and whatnot. But the big Star Wars fans are worse than the die-hard trekkies in my opinion remember the words of Wes Craven before he started sucking "Remember, it's only a movie." As for Lord of the Rings. I have always been a fan of Tolkien's work since I saw the cartoon movie of The Hobbit when I was in Kindergarten, and when I read the Hobbit when I was in 4th grade. But I have always thought the Lord of the Rings series took itself a little too seriously, and though I've always been a huge fan of everything Peter Jackson has done (with the exception of maybe Heavenly Creatures) and I think that what he did with these movies was an incredibly accomplishment (Which the academy recognized when they gave him the best director's award. An award your buddy George toy-boy Lucas has never, and will never, win *endClerks2quote*) but I think these movies were overblown as well. I mean I can think of 3 other SciFi movies that were better done than these. Blade Runner. Dune. Willow. EDIT: I'd also like to add that this is my opinion and if you just love the shit out of these movies, hey good for you. Opinions are what seperate us from the animals. I'm not going to be like DoJ on Johnny Cash here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Heavenly Creatures is gold! What are you saying sir! I really dug Peter Jackson until Frighteners (it was okay...there was Marty McFly and Busey and stuff...) but LOTR and Kong...mehstickles. Vote Star Wars to placate the cools.

Jables Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I'm with SoF that LOTR doesn't even belong in a Sci Fi poll. Make this a nerdapolooza poll for accuracy Nick. And fuckatrek. That's where I draw the nerd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 i invite any of you who want to discuss the specific merits of the sci-fi genre to suck my cock, then get a job, in whichever order. Idve called this the trilogy or whatever poll but Trek doesnt follow that. LOTR is a fantasy setting fiction. Is science involved? sure, there's magic, that's like science for those of us who dig fiction and not actual science in our movies, or something. I stopped listening to jumbie on this years ago. You fucking well know what im asking you here: of the series, do you dig Star Trek or Star Wars? I threw in LOTR as a copout vote for the "i hate shit in space" crowd. I was gonna put Matrix but lets be honest, even i rooted like crazy for that shit and there's no way its gonna garnish votes unless i say "part 1 only" or something.

MusicManiac Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 LOTR doesn't belong in this poll. Star Wars... I mean c'mon... ESB is the best. I have to admit... I am not a Trekkie but I like the the movie Star Trek II Wrath of Khan... pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I can appreciate the appeal of Star Wars, i can, just coupled with some awestome TV Series, Star Trek is my fave. Out of star wars i loved ROTJ and ESB. I liked the old ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 LOTR damn well belongs on this poll for the argument sake. Pat has spoken. and here i thought magic was just "science unexplained" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acalis Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Should've been more selections. I am surprised Stargate SG-1 didn't make the cut. Hell it's been around for 10 seasons, so obviously the show has its fanbase (yes I am sure even amongst us Hondonians). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
