"enemy mine" isn't great but you should watch it just b/c nobody even knows it exists

...

caucasian i presume?

ugh please don't

>caucasian i presume?
Zaza Patchulia and I have nothing in common.

Star ship troopers

1979 Alien is a masterpiece. Ridley Scott really created something special. The acting is great, but I really love the special effects. For being '79, the effects captivated me more than any movie made today.

>For being '79
It definitely looks like a 90s movie at earliest.

>It definitely looks like a 90s movie at earliest.
lol no

>he thinks this is the '90s

First two acts of Sunshine

I just watched it two nights ago and it felt really rushed and didn't really build any atmosphere or suspense. It should have taken its time, though I really like David's motivation

lawl, jackass, pic related

I can agree with this, or some part of this.
David is the best, and only, interesting part of prometheus/covenant

Contrarian pleb detected.

>he wears transition lenses, talks loud and had raging autism

>ugh please don't
>not saying ugh like can you not

Pacific Rim and Valrian and the City of a Thousand Planets for visual pleasure

Stop spamming this in every thread you insufferable faggot.

>every thread
lmao, what the fuck are you talking about?
I posted screen shots from Alien in the Alien thread.
try harder retard

I like to recommend different things because the true list of "great sci fi movies" is actually very short and people recommend the same things all the time over and over. Within a week you would be out of sci fi to watch. If you havent even seen alien maybe you haven't seen the Fifth Element either. Also Source Code is awesome, its about a guy reliving a train explosion.

does Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind count as sci-fi?

You have been posting these screenshots in every Alien thread whenever somebody talks about how well it holds up.

no, the "sci fi" is merely the premise and doesn't have much to do with what the movies really about.

Wall-e

One of the comfiest movies I have ever seen. Even if you don't care about the series, it's still worth a watch.

The Verhoven Trinity:

>Robocop
>Total Recall
>Starship Trooper

Also I think all the Alien films are worth watching, except Alien vs. Predator: Requiem which is dogshit.

if that were true, you could and would go to the archives to demonstrate that the images had been posted many times
you cannot do this, b/c your claim is false

shitposter pls

The Thing

It's the only movie that is universally praised by pretty much everyone now. IMO it's one of the greatest movies, period.

omg I can't believe no one has mentioned it yet
STAR WARS
I FUCKIN LOVE STAR WARS
It's not just a sci fi movie, its a space opera that is so complex and meaningful that it transcends generations. I used to think Empire Strikes Back was the best because it is sooo dark but now I think Force Awakens is the best, it was so much fun and Rey is a great role model. Finn and Poe's bromance was so cute and funny...I hope they get together lol jks

This user is 100% correct.
>would smoke with/10
Also watch Predator. pic related

based

He keeps posting a different variation of the image, here's one
archive.4plebs.org/tv/search/image/_cQqweaQYW67kbbxjeIyKQ/

hilarious
he couldn't find an actual match, so he resorted to a 'variation'
he provided a single relevant (one, 1) image after asserting something about 'every Alien thread'
EVERY like it had been posted again and again and again
EVERY!
"Every" screen shot from Alien is from the same poster.
LMAO

hej, fag-lord-retard
hey, hey dipshit, you know that 'every' is a misspelling, and that I've been mocking you for using it. Right?
LEL

>Being so insecure that you have to reply to the same post twice

Lel.
you got caught, bitch
you were incapable of marshalling the archives to your position b/c they don't support your position
try harder, moron

Verhoeven is a kino deity and letting him go was the dumbest thing Hollywood ever did

If someone posts a different variation of the image, it's pretty obvious someone will have a hard time finding them. That still doesn't take away from the fact that you post them in every thread.

it's pretty obvious that you are off your meds

> from the fact that you post them in every thread.
delusional paranoid fantasy

>Not realizing I was just pretending to be retarded
>Telling anyone that they're off they're meds
Next you'll probably say that I am using this as an excuse.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

really?
>pretending to be retarded
I don't need to say anything about you, b/c your own words discredit you.

there's nothing 'wrong' with it

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

ok

HAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHA Hilarious he is not even trying LMAO "I don't need to say anything about you" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you admitted to 'pretending to be retarded'
there's no coming back from that,
every post you make assumed to be in bad faith

>you admitted to 'pretending to be retarded'
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

yeah you did, right here Do you think 'HAHAHAHA' is a compelling argument?
LOL

Prometheus and Covenant and i am not even joking you will enjoy them

>Unironically saying LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Blade Runner
The Thing

But seriously though, what is wrong with it?

>ebin retort
you've got nothing, nothing of substance
What was the discussion in this thread?
Late 70s vs 90s sci-fi aesthetics and technology.
Do you think "HAHAHAHAHAH" has anything to do with the above?
Do you think 'LOL' has any meaning aside from mocking you?

>what is wrong with it?
nothing

>he continues to assert that
HAHAHAHHA is a meaningful, substantive argument

ok, we're at an impass

But why did you put the '' marks between 'nothing' then?

I was just double pretending to be retarded, you were right all along.

I put the marks around the word wrong, not the word nothing, try to keep up.

Okay why did you put the marks around the word 'wrong'?

a) for emphasis
b) especially b/c the notion that there was something wrong with Alien is fucking ridiculous
If I posted this
>wrong
instead it might have been better received.

...

How the fuck can you be new to sci-fi? What age are you?Have you only seen like 10 films in your life?

kirk/spock fag detected

Kirk and Spock are better than any TNG "character".

event horizon is a mound of rancid sphincter cream

end yourself

if you say so.
i don't hate the original series but i just feel like TNG is better.
BSG is better than both desu

The 2011 The Thing prequel was better than I expected, but like with Alien if you're looking for answers you won't get much (if anything) regarding the alien.

>BSG
Pleb

>>tv
You went a bit off the rails there my dude, allow me to correct you:

>Person of Interest
>BSG (both)
>Fringe
>Star Trek (DS9 is best, but it's a sequel to TNG which you should watch first, see pic related)
>The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
>MST3K (the original)

Airlock.

recently started Battlestar. It's really comfy

But wrath of khan is the best film

pleb

>BSG is better than both desu
Naturally. BSG was basically Ronald D. Moore saying "Star Trek was great, but there were so many missed opportunities, here's how I would have done it", it's the best ideas from all the Treks put together into one beautifully crafted show.

I hope you're paying attention to what Head Six is saying to Balthar, everyone I've seen who didn't like BSG must have skipped over all their scenes together, she's telling you exactly where the show will go from day 1. Also very jealous.

>like with Alien if you're looking for answers you won't get much (if anything) regarding the alien.
thats the point, its supposed to be a mystery and leave people wondering what else could happen

faggot

i haven't watch DS9 yet so i can't say anything

>BSG
>comfy
that's a weird way of spelling stressful af
realy good show with a lot of interesting twists and turns

If you like BSG, you'll like DS9, it's the closest Star Trek ever got to it while still maintaining the feel of the show as they're still striving to better themselves, just under infinitely more difficult circumstances. This is from the pilot which starts during Best of Both Worlds.

You forget the best TV series of all Stargate SG-1

I guess it's time to fire up BSG again.

youtube.com/watch?v=DhNJAVaDl4M

This
SG-1 had amazing world building in that show, and you really get to feel like you are watching the growth of a space-faring civilization, even if they do get quite overpowered by season 9. All the tech that they had in latter seasons you can point to an episode(s) where it was discovered or developed, So when they finally get to making these advanced ships, you can look at them and see all the inspiration from previous ships and designs, all the histories and backstories of all the different reactors, weapons, and even down to the metal the ships are made from. Plus RDA is a national treasure.

This is bait?
This is.
