I knew SyFy was shit-tier.

But this is the worst fucking idea ever. I hope Terry Gilliam had nothing to do with this... :c

I never asked for this.

That film was perfect. It did not need to be "re-imagined" or "re-interpreted" or "updated for a new generation".

Directors and producers with no ideas of their own need to go back to reading science-fiction novels and short stories for their inspiration. I guess they are too lazy to do that now though.

I thought that Disney's John Carter was a step in the right direction, shame it did so poorly. I really don't think there's much of a market for pulpy science fiction anymore



Also, came across an assortment of Star Trek TNG novels, bit surprised that there were only 115 of them, minus spin-offs and what have you

That fucking gif lol.

And yeah, I dunno. If they did it in an interesting way, I'd at least maybe give it a chance, but this looks boring and basic as fuck.

There's absolutely no style and it doesn't look like there's anything unique to it, which makes it look even worse when it's compared to something by someone like Terry Gilliam.

I'm still surprised there hasn't really been a good adaptation of Lovecraft's shit. I was really hyped for Guillermo Del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness, but it sadly seems like a pipe dream now, which sucks because he really wants to make that freaking movie.

Also I'm surprised there's that many actually. Usually I don't see too many novel spinoffs for anything, the biggest probably being the Star Wars EU of course, but besides that when I think of novel tie-ins I think of like DnD and Warhammer.

So I'm reading Ghost Ship, the first Star Trek TNG novel, and it has a hilariously awkward version of Riker in it with the absolutely golden line of "Birds. Everything's Birds All Of The Sudden."

While I like cereal spoof shirts, there's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY too many of them these days

They're almost becoming as bad as video game tees with horrible puns
